Chapter 14:

Everyone soon got to the cafeteria.

"What do we do now?" Koga asked, looking at Sam.

"We eat!" Sam exclaimed.

"What do we eat?" Inuyasha asked.

"Food..." Sam said.

"O....K.... Where the heck is the food?" Inuyasha asked.

"We have to buy it first." Sarah said while pointing to the lunch line, which was pretty short compared to what it usually was.

"Oh! Then we have to go back to math." Eric said.

"Why?" Sarah asked.

"'Cause we he it long. We don't have early lunch today." Eric replied.

"But, we're at first lunch." Sam said as she thought about this for a minute. Then she got it. "Oh yeah! Their giving us lunch this early because of the tree trim!"

"Yeah...." Eric said sarcastically.

"Whatever! Let's just go get lunch!" Sarah yelled.

"I'll get a table." Sam said.

"OK. Do you want me to get you anything?" Eric asked.

"Yeah. Umm..." Sam looked at the menu. "Can you get me a bag of chips and a Philly Cheese Steak?" Sam asked as she handd Eric some money.

"Sure. Be right back." Eric said as he followed everyone to the lunch line.

"Why aren't you going up with them?" Koga asked.

"'Cause I get the table usually and wait for them to get back, just so no one takes our table." Sam replied. "And you should go up with them if you're as hungy as it sounded back there."

"Sarah said she would get me something." Koga said as he sat down.

Then Sam saw a boy walking towards her. He had vey, very short hair, so short you really couldn't tell what color it was, but he wasn't bald. He was so pale that sometimes he looked sick, and he wore glasses. He was thiner than anyone Sam knew too.

"Oh god..." Sam sighed. Then she looked up at the ceiling. "Just one day is all I ask! One god damn day!"

"What's wrong?" Koga asked.

"That." Was all Sam said as she pointed to the boy who was heading for her.

But then the boy put his lunch box down next to Sam.

Shit! Sam thought.

"Hey Sam!" The boy exclaimed.

"Hey Mike." Sam moaned, not sounding to good.

"Are you OK?" Mike asked as he went to sit down next to her. But then Eric reached between them and gave Sam her cheese steak and chips.

"Here you go Sam." Eric said. Then he leaned towards Sam's ear and whispered, "Help?"

Then Sam mouthed out the words "Please."to Eric.

Then Eric sat down between Mike and Sam.

"Hey Mike!" Eric exclaimed.

"Hey Eric." Mike replied.

"Hey Mike? Umm... We kinda got a lot of people sitting here today. All the seats are saved. Sorry." Sam said, trying to get Mike to go away.

"OK. I'll just be sitting over there with Trevor." Mke said as he walked away.

Then Mike was gone.

"Thank you Eric!" Sam exclaimed, sounding like she had just been given a millions dollars or something. "You're a life saver." She said as she hugged Eric.

"You're gonna have to stop avoiding him and tell him at some point." Eric told her.

"Yeah, but it's just... Everytime I go to tell him, this knot of guilt forms in my stomach and I just can't do it." Sam replied.

"Who was he?" Koga asked.

"Mike Rabian. Another boy to stay away from, especially if you're a friend of mine." Sam replied. Ten she let out a long sigh as she stared at her philly cheese steak.

"He's liked her ever since 6th grade. And has been bugging her to go out with him ever since." Eric said. Then he looked at Sam. "But it's your fault he likes you."

Sam was just about to take a bite out of her cheese steak when she froze and looked at Eric with an evil glare. "Who is it my fault?" She asked, sounding a bit scary.

"You're the one who asked him out." Eric replied.

"IT WAS A DARE!!!" Sam yelled. "And I've never turned down a dare!"

"You should have turned down this one." Eric replied.

"Never." She said as she took a bite out of her cheese steak. Then a new face showed up. It was a girl Sam's age. She always wore black. Baggy pants, black t-shirt, long hair that looked kinda brown and kinda red. She sat down and across from Sam.

"Hey guys!" She exclaimed. Then she looked at Koga. "Who's the new meat?"

"Hey Andy." Sam said. "This is Koga. I brought him to life from the Inuyasha show." Sam replied, concentrating on her fod too much to even look at anyone.

"You brought them to life?!" Andy almost yelled.

"Shh.... Do you want the whole school to know?!" Sam whispered, not concentrating on her cheese steak anymore.

"Sorry." Andy said.

Then Sarah and the rest of the gang came back and sat down.

"Hey Andy!" Sarah exclaimed.

"Hey Sarah!" Andy replied.

"Where's Lia?" Sam asked.

"She's coming." Andy replied.

Then Andy looked at Sam. "You OK?"

"Yeah. Why?" Sam asked.

"'Cause you only stare off into space when you're trying to figure something out or when something's wrong." Andy replied.

"Nothing's wrong." Sam said.

"Mmmhmm." Andy said. "Did Mika bug you again?" Andy asked.

"Yes he did." Eric answered for Sam.

"Why don't you just tell him off Sam." Andy asked.

"I think you guys would make a cute couple." Sarah said. "Why won't you just go out with him and get it over with?"

"Would you go out with him?" Sam asked.

"Eww! No!" Sarah yelled.

"See my point?" Sam asked.

"Whatever." Sarah said.

"If you can't tell him off, then why not get another boyfriend?" Inuyasha suggested.

"Who?" Sam asked.

"How the hell am I supposed to know?" Inuyasha asked.

"I'll do it!" Miroku exclaimed.

"NO!" Sam, Sarah, Andy,and Eric all yelled at once.

"Plus, you're supposed to be with Sango." Sarah said. "SO QUIT ASKING OTHER GIRLS TO BARE YOUR CHILD!!!!!"

Miroku was scared now.

"Hey guys!" Lia exclaimed.

"Hey Lia." Sam replied.

"What's up with you guys?" Lia asked, noticing that Eric, Sam, Sarah, and Andy all seemed to be thinking.

"Who would be a good boyfriend for Sam?" Sarah asked.

"Mike Rabian. Who else?" Lia replied.

"NO!!!" Sam yelled.

"She needs someone to be her boyfriend so Mike won't be able to ask her out." Andy said.

Lia sat down next to Eric and started to brain storm too.

"I have an idea." Kagome said.

Everyone looked at Kagome.

"Well, you can't think of anyone to be your boyfriend right?" Kagome asked.

"Right." Sam said.

"Well you and Eric seem pretty close. What if you only 'pretended' to be a couple?" Kagome suggested.

"That could work." Eric said.

"But not really be a couple. Just pretend to get Mike off my back." Sam said.

"Right." Kagome replied.

Koga didn't seem too happy about the idea. But didn't say anything.

"It's perfect! You can get rid of Mike and still be single!" Lia exclaimed.

"OK." Sam said as she looked at Eric.

"Now! Start acting like a couple!" Lia yelled.

"Huh?" Eric and Sam asked.

"You're supposed to be pretending, now kiss or something!" Lia yelled.

"WHAT?!" Eric and Sam yelled.

"It's just pretend. They don't need to go that far." Sango said.

Lia just got a pouty face.

"No Lia." Sam said.

"Fine." Lia whined. She had been waiting for Sam and Eric to get together since she thought they would make a cute couple.

"All you guys have to do is hold hands and spend a lot of time together." Sarah said.

"Every class you have together, sit next to each other when possible." Andy said.

"Hold hands while walking in the hallway." Kagome said.

"And Eric! Offer to carry Sam's books and stuff like that!" Lia said.

Then the bell rang.

Koga didn't seem too happy about the whole plan. He had just started to warm up to Sam too. Maybe he could win he over?

AN- Well, there's another chappie. And Eric! I know you're reading this, but don't get any ideas! It was just a plan! There always has to be love rivals! So don't get any ideas! Besides, one of my friends suggested doing it and I thought it jusy might work. So.......... Everyone! Plz R&R. Thanx! TTFN!!!
