Sorry it took a while to get this one out... i've been kinda busy... PLEASE REVIEW and enjoy! :))


Sam:

A few days passed before I got up the courage to even look at him again. It was during history and I snuck a glance at him from my textbook. He was resting his head on his hand and he was turning a page.

None of us have hung out together since the dinner and I was getting kind of sick of it. I just wish I had never kissed the nub. It messed everything up. Gah, i'm so stupid. A bratty, selfish, stupid girl...

Just then the bell rang and we all rushed out of class. My next class was P.E. so I had to put my books in my locker. As soon as I opened it, a note attached to a rose fell out. I shoved everything in and picked up the note, debating if I should open it or not. I did anyway and was confused when I read it.

Are you ready for the hunt? You better be. Start by going west to the Groovy Smoothie.

What the heck? I was confused. Who did this? As much as I didn't want it to, my mind went straight to Freddie. He was still pissed at me, from what I could tell. But still, that glimmer of hope came back as I slammed my locker, taking the rose and bringing it with me to my last class of the day.

XXXXX

After school, I went straight to the Groovy Smoothie, even icnoring Carly's call and two texts. As soon as I walked in, I was confused. I didn't know who or what to look for. Nothing looked different, and there were no roses in sight. So I just decided to wait. I walked up to the counter and ordered a smoothie. T-Bo made it right away and when he handed it to me, there was a rose with another note taped to the side.

He smiled, "This came in for you earlier." he handed the cup to me.

I smiled slightly and looked up at him, "From who?"

He shrugged, "Sorry, can't say."

"Thanks." I said and went to sit down. I took the rose off of the cup and immediately read the note.

Great! You're good at following directions. Once you're done with your smoothie, head to The Levari Section.

I closed the note and put the rose with the other one. Thoughts flooded my head. What if this is all just a trick? My head started spinning and I took a sip of my smoothie. I decided to call Carly.

It rang once, then twice, then again and then came her sweet anwering machine.

"Hi, this is Carly, I can't get to the phone right now, leave a message!" (beeeeeeeep)

I hung up and put my phone down, thinking about the next clue. The Levari Section is a clothing store in the mall. I wonder what's in store for me there untill I can't take it and just hop on a bus.

It was crowded so I had to stand up. Some old ladys were sitting on a bench to my right and some younger looking guys to my left. I catch a glimpse of someone up front that I think I recognise, but can't really put my finger on it. I try to make my way up to where he is to try to get a better look at him when he turns around. It's Gibby. He sees me and his eyes get really wide, and he turns back around.

The bus stops then and he races off. I follow him even though we're not at the mall yet and follow him. "Gibby!" I call out but he either doesn't hear or doesn't listen. No one icnores mama! I run after him and it doesn't take long before I have him pinned up against a wall.

"Don't kill me!" he beggs.

"Why did you run away from me?" I yell, pushing on his shoulders harder.

He yelps in pain then struggles to get out, "Shouldn't you be at the mall by now?"

I feel my face relax and I let go of his shoulders, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" he asks and runs away. I watch him leave in a hurry and think about what he just said. What's going on? Who's running this show? There's only one way to find out... I come to the conclusion as I make the rest of my way to the mall.

XXXXX

I walk into The Levari Section and once again, don't see any roses, so I go looking. I check under the display tables and on all the racks, but see none. I give up. Whoever is doing this should have thought about it a little better. I pick up a couple shirts and figure I've got nothing better to do, so I ask a girl that works there that looks about my age to open a door for me.

The girl looks me up and down, "Are you Sam?"

"Yeah," I say cautiously. "Are you with the police?"

She smiles and laughs a little, "No. Come with me." she opens up a dressing room for me.

"Thanks..." I say and close the door. Immediately my akwardness turns to giddyness when I see another rose taped to the inside of the door. I throw the clothes I grabbed on the bench inside the room and tear the rose from the door. The note rips. "Crap!" I whisper to my self and try to put it together to read it.

Grab something nice to wear, this is your favorite store. Then, go to the place we shared our first kiss for more

My heart stopped. It's Freddie. Its Freddie. Oh my God...

Should I go? Or should I still be mad at him?

What does he mean by pick out something nice to wear?

I sigh, and leave the dressing room to find out.
