Force In Fury

Her steps were fast and furious, echoing in the school hall. Students made space for her, not wanting to get in her way or in the way of her fist. She could use it now – there was nothing that would stop her. So it was good that everyone tried to stand as far away from her as possible.

She made her way through the hall and out of school, marching in rage to the parking lot, almost forgetting that she was dragging someone behind her. She mumbled some nasty words under her breath that the world will never know about and finally stopped in front of her car.

''I cannot believe what an unintelligent creepy human being he is!'' she screamed and let go of Sam's hand. She unlocked her car, opened the door and sat in, not moving from the spot.

Sam sighed and walked around the car. He opened the passenger door and sat in. He looked at Rachel's angry face staring straight in front of her, lost in her mind.

''Rachel-''

''No! I mean- how stupid can one be? Thinking that I sang a song and started hanging out with you just for the purpose to make him jealous? Who the hell does he think he is? Do I look like I have to keep caring for him? After everything he did and made me believe I did wrong?'' she screamed and slapped her hand over her front head.

Sam could only look at her with concerned eyes and carefully put his arm over her shoulder: ''Don't worry girl; he doesn't deserve you. He's a stupid jackass and an idiot. Don't even think about him; it will only make your headache worse.'' He joked and made her smile under her hand still resting on her face.

But soon enough she made a loud strangled noise and put her head on the steering wheel: I'm so sorry Sam. I shouldn't have done this. You don't need to hang out with me anymore if you don't want to – you know what the whole school thinks of me; and I know how much your reputation means to you.'' She told him without looking at him and let her hair fall on each side of her face, hiding it.

Sam sighed in defeat and pinched her head from behind, making her flinch a bit: ''Berry, you should know that I like hanging out with you. I told you that at least zillion times! And about what the school thought about you – they might be afraid of you right now; punching Finn like that.'' He chuckled, making Rachel laugh too.

She slightly turned her head so that her hair fell from her face and revealed her smiling expression. She looked at him from the side with her watery eyes and Sam knew she got him now.

''You're just too nice for your own good, Sam.'' she laughed and turned her head down again, hiding her face: ''But you really should go and leave me in my misery and anger. I'm completely and utterly-''

''-pissed off?'' he finished the sentence for her and pulled at her shoulder so that she had to straighten herself and sit up. Her hair was a bit dishevelled and her eyes a bit teary, but all in all she looked like she was about to scream in the air.

Which she did not do of course because- well- you know- a car is a small box and the screamed might not only destroy Sam's ears but also Rachel's vocal chords… So… Yeah, she did not scream…

''Yeah, I'm pissed off. And I could kill that ex-lover of mine for what he said to me in front of the school. He forgives me? What the hell does he have to forgive me! I swear, I'm going to make his life a living hell from now on! That stupid, good-for-nothing, wannabe-star jerk!'' she called and after few second sighed in relief.

''Huf… That- I needed…''

Sam smiled at her ruffled her hair: ''Feel better now?''

Rachel looked at him and nodded with a gentle smile: ''Yeah, better…''

She gulped and looked away from him: ''I'm sorry for my outburst. I usually don't lose it like that. And I'm sorry I dragged you with me – I'm sure you didn't want to-''

''Bull shit!'' he interrupted her and took her hand: ''You very well know that I didn't want to stay there. Not whit that asshole in front of me; and not with- with- her watching me. You know it. And I told you already, Berry, why I like to spend time with you. Want me to repeat myself?'' he pulled her a bit to himself, smirking down on her and making her blush.

Rachel struggled out of his grip and tried to keep cool: ''N-no… It's alright… I- I know that- that you meant it in a friendly way- yesterday, I mean- so… um- I'll give you a ride home…'' she started the car, her eyes avoiding his amused ones.

''In a friendly way my ass…'' he said to himself, making sure she heard him and blushed even more.

The blonde laughed at Rachel's embarrassed face and played with her hair. He told her what he felt for her yesterday; now he only has to wait for her starting to feel the same.

And hell he was going to make her feel it!
