Chapter two

The next day Sami was sitting in her third period computer class listening to the teacher absent mindedly as she helped the students review for an upcoming test.

Sami sighed in frustration.

She was frustrated at the fact she didn't understand a word the teacher was saying but mostly because Lucas had continued to be secretive and she didn't know why. She looked at the teacher who was still babbling about something Sami had yet to understand so she turned to her right where her other best friend Ally was sitting. She went to Ally for most of the girl related things or she needed another perspective but she went to EJ for everything else.

"Hey Ally I need your advice on something," Sami whispered.

"Okay, what do you need help on?"

"Can you think of anything Lucas would be keeping from me?" Sami asked.

Ally hesitated as she remembered when she confronted Lucas about a month earlier…

"How could you do this to her?"

"Do what? It wasn't my fault in the first place, I didn't make the first move," Lucas protested.

Ally looked around the abandoned classroom and shut the door so no one would hear. Then she spoke up.

"Sure, maybe you didn't make the first move---which I think is a load of crap but you didn't do anything to stop it and it takes two to play a game of tonsil hockey. So technically even if you didn't start it you're still at fault."

Ally's thoughts were interrupted by Sami speaking up.

"Earth to Ally!"

"Sorry, maybe Lucas is just trying to surprise you or something," Ally lied.

Sami wasn't convinced but didn't get to say anything because the bell rang and everyone started flooding out of the classroom.

Later that afternoon during fifth period EJ and Sami were in the school library working on the book sources for their research project.

EJ looked up from the book he was reading.

"Hey, you okay?"

Sami shrugged.

"Yeah I guess, I'm just preoccupied because the whole Lucas hiding something from me thing plus I have a comp test next Tuesday," Sami said making a gagging motion at the fact she had a computer test.

EJ laughed at Sami's obvious displeasure at the fact she had a comp test in only one week, then he quickly turned serious.

"I thought you and Lucas broke up,"

"Well we did our usual break up but not really break up thing," Sami explained.

EJ gave a slight nod.

"I talked to Ally about it and she said he might be trying to surprise me with something but I don't believe it. I think she knows more than she's saying,"

Ally. EJ and Ally didn't like each other very much but they always tried to be civil to each other for Sami's sake.

"You shouldn't believe that, he wouldn't have gotten mad if he was trying to surprise you with something, what do you think Ally knows?" EJ asked.

"I don't know…but that's what she said when I asked her and it was a pretty lame excuse,"

Before EJ could respond Lucas walked up to their table.

"Sami I need to talk to you…in private,"

"I don't have anything to say to you Lucas," Sami retorted.

"Please Sami," Lucas pleaded.

Sami rolled her eyes.

"Fine,"

She got up to follow Lucas back towards some book shelves but when he was out of seeing and hearing distance she whispered

"I'll be right back,"

EJ just nodded in understanding and watched as Sami headed towards some book shelves.

EJ wouldn't put it past Lucas to hide something from Sami but, he had to wonder what was it? If Lucas was doing something to hurt Sami EJ wouldn't have any reason to be nice to Lucas anymore…EJ had had to watch Sami get her heart broken one too many times in the past six years. Enough was enough.
