After 3 days in the hospital, Sam finally came back to Pollmer with about 15 billion medications. Who would have though you would need that many medications to put iron in your blood? Marie hadn't gotten a wink of sleep ever since Sam had passed out in the library, and that Erik kid had carried her to the nurse. When Marie saw this Erik person, she went gaga over him, ever since Sam got out of the hospital that's all she has been talking about.
"O my got Sam, I thought Robbie was hot but this Kid is Robbie times three billion," Marie said for the hundredth time. "And he carried you like you were nothing, he has to be so buff" she said.
"Okay, Marie your staring to sound like Cristen" Sam said as they got out of Mr. Carrier's car. Mr. Carrier was the 9th grade orchestra teacher and he simply adored Sam, he thought she was a musical prodigy but in reality she could only play Violin well because her foster parents have forced her to take lessons.
"Miss Gity, please cut Sam some slack, she's had it rough and a few of those Medications will have her dead asleep tonight" Mr. Carrier said as they walked into the school. "Sam you have a lot of homework, but due to my ranting your teachers with excuse it all in exchange for you practicing 24/7 on your violin" he said.
"You have a major deal" Sam said, "you have no idea how grateful I am Mr. Carrier".
"So that's why you'll do extra well at Carnegie hall next month (it is the beginning of December)" Mr. Carrier smiled and waved good-bye to the girls.
"You're so damn lucky, you don't have to do that Mrs. Peck project" Marie said.
"Too late I just have to find out who to do it on" Sam said weakly.
"You are a whiz kid" Marie laughed. The two of them began to walk back to their dorm when unfortunately Robbie walked by.
"So how's my dear Sam" Robbie said but Sam just gave him a weak look and walked right past him.
"Robbie just leave her alone" Marie said and walked after her. Well unknown to them both, the angry Robbie, followed them. Well coincidentally Marie and Sam ran into Erik, Marie was thrilled but Sam was a little disoriented.
"Sarra, are you all right" Erik asked and he turned her towards him. Sam looked into his gold eyes, she literally got lost in them, it took her a while to comprehend what was going on but she finally reacted.
"I'm fine, with a lot of thanks to you" she smiled "and you can call me Sam". Well Marie didn't like the fact that he was being a little physical with Sam (with him turning her towards him), so naturally jealousy took over.
"Well then Sam, I guess I will see you tomorrow in Mrs. Peck's class" he smiled and walked away.
The next day in Mr. Carrier's class Sam was beat to death by him; he really meant it when he said 24/7. She had skipped 3 classes already and her hand was cramping up.
"Alright Sam I think you have had enough for today" Mr. Carrier said right before the start of 4th period Mrs. Peck's class. "Sam you are excellent at the violin I do think you have potential" Mr. Carrier said kindly. Mr. Carrier was a kind man as you can tell, with dirty blond hair around his mid twenties and he was tall and rather bulky for someone as thin as he was.
"O yea my favorite teacher" Sam said with sarcasm, she didn't like Mrs. Peck due to her favoring Robbie and letting him practically harass her every day. As soon as Sam arrived she got an evil look from both Robbie (which she was expecting) and from Marie. The most interesting thing about this was, they were sitting next to each other (and Marie hated Robbie or at least Sam thought). So Sam went to sit next to the only person left to sit by, Erik. She sat down next to him and he gave her a large smile.
"Finally I was starting to think Mr. Carrier was going to keep you there forever" Erik smiled, and so did Sam.
"Yea well your lucky, you write the music not play it" Sam laughed.
"But the good thing is I can play it" Erik smiled smugly.
"I don't like you anymore" Sam pouted playfully.
"But you have no choice, remember I saved your ass" Erik said poking her in the ribs, and she was a bit surprised at his language. She had never heard him curse, of course his friend cursed but not him.
"Class!" Mrs. Peck yelled in that annoying high voice and the whole room went silent. "Well Mrs. Deamont, I am sure we are glad to have you back, and due to Mr. Carrier you do not have to finish this project," Mrs. Peck said with disgust. You see Mrs. Peck was a stuffy old bat with gray hair and tiny glasses on the bridge of her nose, just like the movies. She was very prim and proper, and favored Robbie out of everyone because he was so- called polite and a good student. Mrs. Peck's class dragged on and on, and Marie kept glaring at Sam everytime she turned around.
Right after class Sam decided to go and find out what was wrong with Marie. She caught her in the hall and pulled her into the girls' bathroom.
"Marie what's wrong? Why have you been avoiding me?" Sam asked.
"Because you are a no good dirty rotten friend, you knew I liked him you knew" Marie yelled.
"Marie what are you talking about?" Sam asked.
"Don't play dumb and don't speak to me again, and Robbie doesn't like you anymore he loves me" and she put and emphasis on love. Well what ever was going on, I was causing everyone to go mad.
"Fine, Marie but I will warn you he's a bastard" Sam sighed and walked out of the bathroom door. For the rest of the day, Sam was very quiet, she didn't eat and Erik was worried.
"Sam what's wrong?" he asked after Dinner, Sam had gone out to the bleachers on the football field.
"Nothing" Sam said with a depressed sigh.
"You're a bad liar," he said softly
"And your even worse" Sam sighed softly.
"Mind if I sit with you for a while" Erik asked.
"Be my guest" Sam said. The two of them just sat there silently in the freezing cold until they couldn't take it anymore.
Meanwhile Robbie and Marie were watching from the dorm windows, and the both of them weren't happy.
"How could she do that, she knew I liked him" Marie screeched.
"So how about we make a little deal" Robbie smirked. "I want Sam back and you want that ghost kid, so how about we split them apart".
"How?" Marie asked and Robbie gave her a vicious grin.
