Chapter 2

7:45 AM
Our group of friends went their separate ways as we each went to our lockers.
All of us sophomores in our group were all in the same homeroom. Bet you can't guess who we have as our homeroom teacher.
Coach Bolton, aka Dad!
Ohh well, it should be pretty fun.
Robert, Peter, Lex, Eric and I all walked into homeroom and sat down still talking until we heard my dad start to talk.
"Welcome back to East High for another awesome school year. I hope everyone had a great summer," he told us.
There were some 'sures', 'yeah's, and 'whatevers' heard from the others, but nothing to extreme.
"Try-outs for varsity boys basketball will be held this Friday in the gym during free period, for any of you that want to try out, and girls try-outs will be this Thursday in the gym during free period," my dad said looking at our little group of friends, and I just smiled back at him.
"Auditions for the fall musicale are tomorrow during free period as well in the auditorium."
When my dad said that, I started to wonder if I really wanted to audition or if it was just a waste of my time.
The bell rang about five minutes later, except I didn't move, I was still sitting in my seat.
"Sam, Sam, hunny!" I heard my dad say to me as he was waving his hand in front of my face.
"What's going on, you're never out of it like this on the first day of school," he asked me.
"Tell you what Sammy, why don't you come to my office during free period and we'll talk about it, alright? Right now you need to get to class."
"Ok dad, I'll meet you in your room, but wait, in the guys locker room?"
"Don't worry, no one will be in there."
"Ok, good," I replied hugging my dad, then walking out the door to my Algebra II class.
As I walked out the door I ran into Chad, I mean Mr. Danforth.
"Hey Sam, where are you headed in such a hurry?" he asked me.
"I'm late for Algebra II, and I don't need to end up on the teachers bad side the first day of school," I replied to him laughing, because I was talking about Taylor.
Laughing, he told me, "You just let me know if she gives you any trouble, I know where she lives."
I just laughed and started to walk fast down the hall when he called, "Is your dad in the homeroom?"
"Yes!" I shouted back and ran down the now empty hall.
I walked into class just as the bell rang, and took a seat next to Peter.
"Hey, why are you late? I thought you came out of homeroom right behind us," Peter whispered to me.
"I ran into Chad on the way here, and I started talking to him," I replied whispering too.
"Mr. O'Reilly and Miss Bolton, please stop talking," Mrs. Danforth said to us, going back to taking attendance.
Peter and I snickered to ourselves, because we're so used to Taylor outside of school, that it's going to take us a while to see her as our teacher again.
"Peter and Sam, I don't want to have to ask you again to be quiet. If this keeps up I'm going to have to separate the two of you," she said, now getting frustrated with the two of us.
After about an hour class ended, and Mrs. Danforth stopped the two of us before we walked out the door.
"Peter, Sam, I'm sorry for snapping at the two of you, and I know that we have a very good relationship outside of school, but I have to treat you the same way as I would my other students. Just because you're like my own kids doesn't mean you get treated differently. Just remember not to talk during class. I am going to tell you this though, I'll allow you to pass notes, just don't get caught, and if I see you do it, I'll just pretend that I don't. How's that?" she asked us.
Peter and I just looked at each other and shook our heads, while I spoke for the both of us.
"We're sorry for the way we acted, we're just so used to you outside of school since summer vacation, that we forgot that you're our teacher now. We'll also try our hardest to not get caught passing notes, and thank you for allowing us to do that," I said for both Peter and I.
"Yeah, we're sorry. We won't talk again in your class when we're not supposed to, and we'll get A's on everyone of your tests," Peter told her.
I then shot him an 'are-you-kidding-me' look, and he just grinned back at me.
"I wouldn't go as far as you having to get all A's on every test, just try your hardest, and I'm always here after school or during free period if you need any extra help, and you know where I live, so it shouldn't be that hard for you to track me down. I have to get going, and you should too, see you later," she told us before she walked out the door and down the hall.
"Sam, I have to go to my locker, we'll meet up with everyone else by the stairs right?" Peter asked me.
"Actually, I have to go talk to my dad, so I can't meet up with you guys, but I'll catch up with you during lunch right? At the table we sat at all the time last year?" I asked him, sort of hesitating.
"Of course, what do you have to talk to your dad about?"
"I'll tell you later, okay?"
"Sure, see you later Sam."
"Adios Peter."
9:15 AM
Free Period"Hey Sam, wait up!" I heard Kellie call from behind me.
"Hey Kel, what's up?"
"Nothing much. What are you doing during free period? Are you meeting up with everyone else?" she asked.
"No, I gotta go talk to my dad, but I told Pete that I'd meet up with you guys during lunch at the table that we sat at all the time last year, you'll find out what table that is soon, don't worry," I said to her.
"Ok Sam, see you later!"
"Bye" I replied to her walking to my dads office.
With Kellie, Lex, Cameron, Robert, Peter, and Eric(Robert's P.O.V.)
"Hey guys, how's it going?" Cam asked walking up to us.
"Pretty good, I'm glad it's free period though," Lex said.
We all gave her weird looks and then Eric said, "Lex, it's the first day of school, I'm not even sick of it yet!"
That made all of us laugh, and caused Lex to glare at Eric. Boy if looks could kill, he would definitely be dead.
"Hey Robert, where's Sam and Peter?" Eric asked.
"Good question Eric, I have no idea," I said to him.
"Sam had to go talk to your dad about something. She said she'd meet us in the caf during lunch, but I don't know about Peter," Kellie answered.
'Hm, I wonder what she has to talk to dad about, and I wonder where Peter is.' I thought to myself.
Back with Sam(Sam's P.O.V.)
I hesitantly opened the door to the guys locker room, hoping that my dad was right, that there wouldn't be anyone in there.
I walked through the locker room hall to my dad's office, thankful that there wasn't anyone there. I would have been so embarrassed if there was.
I lightly knocked on the door and waited.
About two seconds later I heard my dad tell me to come in.
I walked in to see my dad at his desk with his feet up reading the newspaper.
I sat down in one of the two chairs that were in front of his desk.
"What's on your mind hunny?" he asked now taking his feet off of the desk, and putting the paper down.
I just said slouched in the chair staring at the ground.
"I don't know," I said to him.
He just gave me a look telling me he knew something's wrong.
"Dad, would you be mad if I said I wanted to do something other than basketball this year?"
"Of course not Sam, what else do you want to do?"
"I want to audition for the fall musical," I said quietly, but I guess not quiet enough because my dad heard me.
"Good for you Sam."
"But what if I don't make it, and make a fool out of myself, and every one thinks that it's stupid?"
"Sammy, have I ever told you the story about your mom and I doing the musical when we were juniors?"
I shook my head, and he went on to explain how they did the musical their junior year, and how they turned the school upside down.
The bell then rang indicating free period was over. I stood up and hugged and thanked my dad, then walked to my next class.
End P.O.V.
Little did Sam know, that someone heard the conversation that she just had with her dad.
There you go, Chapter two. Who do you think heard Sam and her dad?
I wasn't too happy with this chapter, but you can be the judge, and let me know by reviewing. Suggestions are also wanted and appreciated, and if you hated this chapter let me know that too! Thanks.
