Chapter 38:
Mrs. Sherlock took everyone to the mall after dinner, just like she had said she would. Sam quickly got out of the van, especially since she was sitting next to Jacob. "Let's just get this overwith." Sam groan as she took the dress out of the trunk.
"Wait for me Samantha." Jacob said with a smirk, he, since he was her date, had to go with her to help pick out the dress, according to Mrs. Sherlock.
Sam let out a loud groan, not sounding happy as she stood there waiting for Jacob with her amrs crossed and tapping her foot on the pavement of the sidewalk. "Hurry up then." She growled. She was even scaring Inuyahsa now. She was that pissed off that she had to spend time with Jacob. But Jacob walked to her slowly. "I don't have all day here! Nor all night!" Sam said, sounding very grim.
"I didn't say I would take all day nor night." Jacob said as he walked over to Sam, finally making it to her.
"Whatever. Let's just get this overwith." Sam said as she walked in.
Koga watch Sam the whole time she was walking into the mall. He felt so mad now. First Jacob wanted to hurt Kagome. Then he put a spell on them to turn them into girls (which Sam had found a temporary solution to). And now he was stealing Sam from him. Koga really just wanted to rip Jacob apart. But thought better in case Jacob tried something.
"You OK Koga?" Sarah asked.
"Yeah. Why?" Koga asked, not sounding happy at all.
"Because you were just growling a few minutes ago." Sarak replied.
Koga hadn't even noticed that he was growling. That's how bad it was getting for him. Man was he jealous of Jacob.
"Are you coming Koga?" Sango asked, looking back at Koga who was still standing by the road and Mrs. Sherlock had already drove away.
Koga was snapped back to reality, and out of his thoughts of killing Jacob when asked this question. "I'm coming." He sighed as he walked to the rest of the group.
Later on...
It didn't take Sam long to return the dress. But it did take her a while to find another dress. But when they got there, Sam found another familiar face.
"Erin?" Sam asked.
"Sam!" Erin replied. Erin was a girl about the same age as Sam, but was probably about a foot taller than Sam too. She had dirty blonde hair that was cut short, and had light blue highlights in it. Then she wore a shirt that was red and orange striped on underneathe a light blue collared shirt with a pair of kahki pants on the legs with pair of red Converse All-Stars on her feet. "Where were you today? You missed school again!" Erin yeled at Sam.
"Yeah well, my friend was in the hospital and I had to stay with her." Sam replied sheepishly.
"You still could have come. That's no excuse. You're going to fail science if you miss another class." Erin told Sam.
"I know. I can't miss anymore school days for the rest of the year...unless!" Sam exclaimed.
"Unless what?" Erin asked.
"Umm... Ladies?" Jacob asked.
"Go away Jacob." Sam growled.
"Whoa Sam." Erin exclaimed. "That was kinda scary. You OK?" Erin asked.
Sam let out a long and heavy sigh. "Erin, this is Jacob. Jacob, this is my friend Erin."
"Hi Jacob." Erin said cheerfully as she stuck out a hand. Then she shook Jacobs hand. "OK. I have two questions for you."
"Shoot." Jacob said.
"OK. Do you like Macs?" Erin asked. She was a complete Mac person. She loved Mac computers and loved the Apple Store and was in love with her iPod too.
"No. I do PC's." Jacob replied.
Erin let out a loud gasp and put her hand on her chest. She was shocked. "You're friends with him?" Erin asked Sam. But then she turned back to Jacob. "OK. Who would you have rather voted for for this past election. Bush or Kerry?" Erin asked Jacob.
"Bush." Jacob said. "I didn't like Kerry too much."
This time both Sam and Erin looked shocked, putting their hands on their chests and letting out loud gasps. "I swear, I did not know that." Sam told Erin. Not that it mattered. Sam was stuck with Jacob anyway.
"How could you Sam. You are such a traitor! Being friends with a Mac hating Bush lover!" Erin yelled at Sam.
Sam let out a loud sigh. Then she got an idea. "Come here Erin. You got away Jacob." Sam shooed Jacob away and pulled Erin over to the side and whispered something into Erin's ear. Then Erin got an evil grin on her face.
"OK. We can do that. When?" Erin asked.
"This Friday. My house. After Prom. You're going, right?" Sam asked.
"Yeah. I invited Witt." Erin replied.
"Cool! So I can finally see him!" Sam exclaimed.
"You met him before Sam." Erin told Sam.
"Yeah, but I don't remember what he looks like or anything. And it was a long time ago too." Sam repied. "This way, I can meet him and actually remember what he looks like." Sam said with a cute smile.
"True." Erin said. "So who are you going with?"
"The guy you now hate." Sam groaned. But before Erin said anything, Sam continued to explain. "I really don't want to go with though. It's kind of complicated." Sam said.
"Does this have anything to do with witchcraft?" Erin asked.
"Yes." Sam replied. "Can we talk about this at school tommorrow. That way he won't be there." Sam said, nodding toward Jacob, who was walking around looking at the dresses, since he figures that everyone else basically hated him.
"OK." Erin said with a nod. "Well, I'll see you tommorrow." Erin told Sam before walking off.
"See-ya Erin!" Sam called to Erin before she went over to everyone else. "Hey guys. Umm... You all have your dresses right?" Sam asked all the girls (AN- The guys are still guys for now).
All the girls nodded.
"OK. Good." Sam said. Then she looked at all the guys. "You need Tuxedos." Sam told them.
"What?" Hiten asked.
"A tux." Sarah said. "So you can go to the prom." Sarah said as she grabbed hold of Hiten's arm and pulled him to her, so she coud lean against his arm.
Hiten had actually gotten used to Sarah being hooked onto him. She was actually starting to grow on him. She was cute sometimes, unpredictable a few times, and so many other things. She was different from any girl he had met from his world. He actually felt like he was falling for her. Which was changing him quite a bit.
"Aww... Look at the cute couple." Sam teased, which made Hiten push away from Sarah with a blush on his face. But Sam saw it. "Oh. I see a blush." She teased him. "Now you definitely have to go to the prom with Sarah."
"Samantha. You still need to get your dress." Jacob said and Sam let out a loud groan before stomping over to the dresses, pulling Jacob by his shirt, even though she wasn't too happy about having to even touch him.
Then Sam started looking through the dresses. She found a nice one, and it was affordable. It was fushia, a halter top, had sparkles all over, and the neck didn't dip down very low, just enough to see the minimum amount of cleavage. And then the whole bottom had mesh covering it. "How about this one?" Sam asked, holding it up so Jacob could see.
"Go try it on." Jacob said while pointing to the dressing room. So Sam walked in and Jacob followed her and stood outside of the stall while Sam went in.
Sam hurried up to put the dress on. Then she walked out to show Jacob what it looked like. He smiled. "You look beautiful." He said. "Like a pixie." He said as he walked closer to Sam.
"Stay there Jacob." Samsaid.
"Why? I want to have a look at you." He said.
"Because I don't trust you." Sam told him. "And I mean it. Don't come any closer."
"What's wrong?" Jacob asked. "I promise to keep my hand to myself." He said.
"Let me guess, you're finger are crossed." Sam said, glaring at Jacob.
"No Samantha. Don't worry. I just want to see if it fits you right." Jacob said as he came up to Sam. "Just spin around slowly for me so I can see the whole dress." He told her, and Sam spun around slowly, not looking happy at the same time. "It looks great. Why not get this one?"
"Fine. I like it too." Sam said, still sounding angry. Then she walked back into the stall, while Jacob waited outside for her, and she was out quickly.
"Let's go." Sam said as she walked back out to everyone. Inuyasha was even nice enough to carry for dress for her without ruining it.
"You OK Sam?" Inuyasha asked.
"I'm fine." Sam replied angrily. Then she stopped and took a deep breath before letting it out.
"What are you doing?" Koga asked.
"Breathing out all my stress." Sam told him.
"I'd just leave her be for a few seconds if I were you guys." Eric said while looking back at everyone.
"I'm fine Eric." Sam told him. Then she looked up. "Yeah. I'm good. Let's go." Sam said. Then Sam got an idea. She knew how to loose Jacob. And it would be a piece of cake to boot. "Guys." She said, looking back to see where Jacob was, and seeing him walking quite a distance away from everyone. "Huddle." Sam said, which she had taught everyone what huddle was. "OK. I have a plan to get loose Jacob."
"How?" Koga asked.
"What do we have to do?" Eric asked.
"OK. This will be easy for me at lease, since me and Nicole used to do this to Walter all the time when we were little. But first we have to give him something to occupy him. Then we ditch him. And I have an idea to do it."
In Mr. Cool (a store)...
"This is it!" Sam exclaimed.
"What are we doing here?" Jacob asked.
"Getting your tux!" Sam said with a smile on her face. Then she notices how Jacob was looking at her suspiciously. "What? Do you think you're going in a polo and kahkis?" She asked. "A I can get a discount here because my friends work here."
"You have friends in HERE?" Eric asked, pointing a finger at the store. Then he leaned closer to Sam's ear. "Isn't this store filled with fags?" He asked. But Sam shooshed him quickly, becausesomeone was walking towards them.
"Samantha!" A man in a tuxedo exclaimed as her walked towards Sam with his arms wide open.
"Mathew!" Sam exclaimed as she also opened her arms and wrapped them around the man.
He didn't look old. Only in his early twenties, and had a clean cut face, with hair that was a few inches long that was a golden blonde color. his eyes were as blue as Koga's, and he had some muscle to boot.
"It's been a long time." Mathew said. "How's your mother been. I haven't seen her in the longest time."
"She's doing fine." Sam replied as she pulled away from Mathew. "And what about you?" She asked.
"I'm doing great." Mathew replied. "Benjamin and I have been doing fine, and he moved in with me."
"Really?" Sam asked. "Wait. Where is he?" Sam said as she looked around.
"I'm right here Little One." Another man said as he came out and hugged Sam.
Sam returned the hug. "And how is my big strong gay man?" Sam asked, returning the favor of name calling.
"I'm fine." Benjamin replied. He was a fit looking man, looked about the same age as Mathew too. He had a tan, and had brown eyes, with a hair cut similar to Mathew's, but Benjamin's hair was curly and a dark, rich brunet color. "Now aren't you going to introduce us to your friends?" He asked, nodding towards the group behind Sam.
"Yeah." Sam said as she pulled Mathew and Banjamin over to the rest of the group. "Everyone, these are my friends Mathew and Benjamin." Sam told the group. "Guys, this is Eric, Sarah, Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Koga, Hiten, and Jacob." Sam introduced everyone while pointing each person out.
"Pleasure to meet you." Mathew said.
"Yes. Quite the pleasure." Benjamin added. "Now what brings you kids here. Surely this isn't some little visit. Or are we that special?" Benjamin asked with sarcasm in his voice.
"Well, my friend Jacob here needs a tux for prom. Do you guys think you can help him find one?" Sam said.
"Sure. What color does the tux have to be to match the dress?" Benjamin asked.
"And what color tie should we use?" Mathew asked.
"Red tux with green tie." Sam said.
"Wait a minute." Jacob interupted. "Your dress in fushia. Not green or red." Jacob informed them.
"I know. I was using sarcasm." Sam replied.
"So the tux will be black then?" Mathew asked.
"And a fushia tie too match the dress." Benjamin added.
"Sounds great." Sam said with a smile.
"OK. Now come with us Sir and we'll get you fitted into a tux.
Jacob looked pretty reluctant about going with Mathew and Benjamin. Sam figured he probably really didn't want to go. But it was the only way she knew how to loose them. So she waited until Jacob was behind the curtain with Mathew and Banjamin before she turned to rest of the gang and walked over to them. "OK. Let's go." She told everyone.
"God you're cruel." Eric stated.
"What else is new?" Sarah asked.
"OK. Well she's alays been somewhat cruel. But leaving that guy with a couple of umm...umm..." Eric didn't want to insult anyone, so he tried to search for a words. "Gay guys?" He said into Sam ear.
"I do that to every guy I want to loose." Sam replied.
That's when Eric went white. "EVERY guy you want to loose?" He asked. "So glad you didn't want to loose me." Eric mumbled, feeling a bit sorry for Jacob now.
"So what should we do now?" Sam asked as she led everyone out of the store.
"Go home?" Sarah asked.
"How boring are you?" Sam asked sarcastically.
"Not boring Sam, tired." Sarah corrected her friend.
"OK. Does anyone else want to do something?" Sam asked.
"Ice cream?" Miroku asked.
"Sure." Sam said. "Who agrees with that?" Sam asked the rest of the group. Everyone seemed to agree with that idea, so Sm got on her cell phone and called her mom, telling her that they would catch a cab home. Her mom agreed, so Sam then called a cab and everyone got into the cab bus that came to pick them up. And they left Jacob with Mathew and Benjamin while they went out for ice cream.
