1Chapter Three
"Sam hurry up and come eat breakfast", Gram called from downstairs. "Oh", Sam called. She had been thinking about Jake again. Sam ran downstairs, "be careful honey", Gram called. Sam was shoving down pancakes with syrup when she almost choked. "WHAT!" she finally. "Jake sure is a handsome boy, don't you think", Gram repeated, looking at Sam. Sam turned a deep red. "Hurry up so we can go get your Halloween costume", Gram said. "Ok", Sam said relieved in the change in subject. "Oh ya", Gram said, "We have to pick up Jake, he's coming with us to get his costume". Darn Sam thought, this is getting worse by the minute. Well at least I can look at Jake, Sam giggled. "What Honey", Gram asked. "Oh nothing", Sam said blushing.
Thirty Minutes Later...
The Ely house could be seen in the distance as Gram steered the old Buick down the Ely's long driveway. "What do you want to be for Halloween". "I don't know", Sam answered. They got out of the Buick and walked up the Ely's porch steps. "I'm going to talk to Maxine , you find Jake and be ready to go to town in ten minutes", Gram said. "Sure", Sam replied. She started walking towards the Ely's large stone barn. The door opened and there stood Jake. Sam blushed, she couldn't think of anything to say, then something popped out of her mouth. "What are you doing here?". "Well of course he's here, its his house", Sam said not realizing she said it out loud. "Umm... ya this is my house Brat", Jake replied. Sam blushed an even redder shade. "Gram said we have to be ready to go in ten minutes". "Ok cool", Jake replied. Sam started walking out of the barn. "Wait", Jake said grabbing her arm. Sam felt the shivers go up her back. Oh my God he's so HOT she thought. "Ummm... well... I was.. Ummm. Wondering". "Spit it out Jake", Sam said. "DoyouwanttogotoapartywithmeonHalloween", he said all jumbled together rubbing the back of his neck. "Like a date?" Sam asked. Jake nodded his head yes, his face a furios shade of red. "Ya", Sam said, barely resisting the urge to jump up and down and scream for joy. Jake smiled one his rare smiles. Then questionly took her hand. Sam squeezed his hand and grinned, practically skipping beside him. "Hurry up you two lovebirds", Gram said.
