Chapter 5- Double trouble

"Oh. My. Gosh. I can't believe you're going out with Cody Tettorn. Cody Tettorn, Sammy Tettorn. You know how long I've had a crush on him for? Like, ages!" complained Sky.

"Sky, settle down. BTW, you've only had a crush on him for like, 2 weeks."

"Shut up. You can't blame me though, he's like the cutest guy in school. I can't believe he asked you out though. Looks like your luck has changed for the better." It was true though. Cody was the cutest guy in school. Cody had come from Canada two weeks earlier, and had taken an immediate liking to Sammy. Even though Sky was extremely jealous, she couldn't help feel happy for her friend. With all that's going on with her life at the moment, she could use a bit of love. Little did they know, over at the popular table, everything was about to change.

"Cody, just dump her already. She's poor and ugly and... POOR! Have you seen the clothes she wears? They're like, not even fit for a dog. They're probably like 10th hand. I'm sorry, but you have a reputation to uphold." Grace said this as if she was talking about a monster. Grace and Emerson were twins from New York and were forever teasing Sammy. They were incredibly up em' selves and they didn't care about how they made anyone feel. Emerson had a crush on Cody, and Grace had already been out with him.

"Yeah Cody. I know you dated nerds at your other school but this is different. Besides, why go out with someone like her when you could date someone like me?" agreed Emerson.

"I don't know, I like her. She's not that bad. Sure she's poor but you can't judge someone by how much money they have. And no Emerson, I'm not going out with you." replied Cody in a somewhat annoyed toned.

"Dude, she's ugly and poor. Please just dump her. Look. I'll come with you. I wanna see her face! The tears and the begging is the best part about going out with a girl like her!" Cody's mate, Cooper, liked teasing Cody and pressuring him to do things he shouldn't. Now Cody had had enough.

"FINE! I'll do it, as long as you keep teasing me, and no, Emerson, I'm still not going out with you." Cody felt mean saying that, but he was just angry. Cooper dragged Cody over to where Sky and Sammy were sitting. Cody's stomach was suddenly filled with butterflies and he went pale. He started whispering to Cooper.

"Seriously, I don't think I can do this. I like her. I feel like I'm going to be sick." he said in a hushed voice but Sammy interrupted.

"Hey Cody. Is everything OK?" Sammy knew everything wasn't OK and she had to try to be positive and cover up the flaw in her voice that gave away the fact that she knew what was coming.

"Um, yeah. Well, you know how I asked you out before, well, yeah, um, I, I, can we please break up? It's just..."
"Grace? Yeah I gathered." said Sammy in a timid voice.

"Um, yeah OK. You OK with that?" said Cody in a surprised tone.

"Yeah it's fine" But things weren't and that was obvious by the way she just stormed off. Sammy went right into the girls bathroom and cried. Sky spent all third period trying to get her out of there. She came out between third and fourth period but didn't say a word to anyone. Sky sensed something was up, and not just the fact that the hottest guy in school had just broken up with her.

…

"What time did your Mum say she would pick you up?" said Sky in an annoyed voice. "It's 4 o'clock now and Mum will be getting worried. Are you OK to wait by yourself?"

"Yes it'll be fine. Bye." replied Sammy.

"Oh, OK. Bye." Sammy couldn't help but let a stray tear roll down her cheek as her friend slowly disappeared into the distance.
