Chapter five

It's Monday, which means four more days until Sam heads off to boarding school. At least that's what she thinks. She hasn't told any of her friends yet, thinking she would tell them the day before she left. It would be easier that way. She wouldn't have to say goodbye everyday until she left. She was going to miss everyone, but was so happy she was going to be far away form Doug that the sadness of leaving all the people she loves hasn't sunk in all the way. She was still upset though, about how Doug was the reason she was going away in the first place. She thought she was hiding it well, but her friends could tell something was wrong.

"Sam, are you alright? You look so gloomy." Her friend amber asked. They were in class but no one was doing any work, so Sam just sat starring into space with a sad look on her face. That is until amber snapped her out of her daze.

"What? Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking." She said.

"About what?" Amber asked.

"Uh, nothing. It's stupid." Sam said.

"C'mon, tell me. Please." Amber pleaded. She was always thirsty for information.

"No, really. It's nothing." Sam gave her a stern look.

"Oh, fine." Amber said, then turned to their friend Ben and started a conversation.

There was a knock on the door and Mrs. Pacotti, the teacher, told the class to stop talking. They did and Mrs. Pacotti opened the door. Sam's mother stood in the doorway. Sam gaped at her. 'What the hell is she doing here?'

"Hi Mrs. Pacotti. Can I please speak with Sam for a moment?" Sam's mother asked politely. "Sure, she's right over there." Mrs. Pacotti pointed to Sam. "Thank you." Joyce walked over to Sam, who just looked down at her notebook and started writing gibberish. She did not feel like talking to her mom right now. Joyce stopped in front of Sam and looked down at her.

"We have to go." She said.

"Go where?" Sam asked without looking up.

"You have to go to school." Joyce said. Sam stopped writing her made up words but didn't look up.

"I'm in school." She said, praying her mother didn't mean PCA.

"No, your school in California." Sam jerked her head up.

"Yeah, in four days." She said with her eyes wide but the rest of her face strangely calm. Her mother looked at her sadly.

"No honey, today. Doug read the flight schedule wrong."

"WHAT?" 'Oh my God! Oh my God! He did this on purpose! Oh, I hate him!'

"How could he read the flight schedule wrong? He's not that much of an idiot. God, he did this on purpose!" she screamed at her mother. She was out of her seat now and was pacing the classroom.

"Sam, he did not do this on purpose. He just misread the schedule. And I would appreciate it if you didn't call him an idiot."

"Yeah, well, right now I don't really care about what you would appreciate." She said.

"Sam!"

"What? Because of your idiot husband I have to say goodbye to all my friends right now and they don't even know what's going on!" she yelled. She couldn't even express how angry she was! She was absolutely furious! She has to say good-bye to everyone she loves in five minutes and it would take an hour if not more to say good-bye to Lindsay. 'Oh God, Lindsay! How the hell am I going to say goodbye to her?' she thoughtShe crossed her arms over her chest and, determined, she said, "I refuse to leave today."

Joyce didn't look very happy to hear this. "Until your eighteen you can't refuse to do anything so if I say your leaving today then your leaving today!" She yelled. Sam was getting really pissed off.

"You know what? California isn't far enough. How about on the plane, I smash a window and jump out? Because dieing seems to be the only way to really get away from the two of you!"

Everyone was starring at them and Joyce's face was furious when Sam said this.

"SAMANTHA MARIE ASHMORE! DON'T YOU EVER SAY ANYTHING LIKE THAT EVER AGAIN!" She screamed so loud that some people jumped.

"Geez, I wasn't serious! You didn't have to make everyone's eardrums explode!" If Sam could keep the fighting going on long enough she would miss her flight. She's trying to make her mom mad and annoyed, which is pretty easy right now.

"Sam, you are leaving! I packed all your stuff so lets go." Sam narrowed her eyes.

"By all my stuff you mean-"

"I mean all your stuff!" Joyce said.

"Even Fuzzy Wuzzy?" she found a way to continue arguing. Her mother looked at her like she was crazy.

"What?"

"Fuzzy Wuzzy."

"What's a Fuzzy Wuzzy?" Sam gasped.

"You didn't pack Fuzzy Wuzzy, did you?" she was good at acting and took advantage of that skill.

"I didn't say that I asked what the hell it was!" Sam sighed.

"Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't really fuzzy was he?" Joyce just looked at her blankly.

"Oh my God mom! His name is Fuzzy Wuzzy and he wasn't really fuzzy was he? Fuzzy Wuzzy, fuzzy was he? Do ya get it?"

Joyce just continued to look at her blankly. Sam sighed.

"Did you pack the bear with no fur and had the words Fuzzy Wuzzy sewn on his chest?" 'Well, this fight lasted all of five minutes.' Thought Sam.

"No, I didn't pack 'Fuzzy Wuzzy' Sam. You are too old for stuffed animals. Where did you even get such a ridiculous thing anyway?" ' Oh no she did not just call Fuzzy Wuzzy ridiculous! I wonder if I'm adopted.' Sam thought

"Ah! Nikki got him for me for my birthday! She shaved all the fur off him and sewed his name onto his chest. And he is not ridiculous!"

"Sweetheart, you're defending a stuffed bear." Joyce said like her daughter was crazy.

"But not just any stuffed bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy! And don't call me sweetheart! I'm mad at you! And since you didn't pack him we have to go home so I can pack him and all the other stuff you didn't pack."

"Alright, but you have to hurry up. Your plane leaves in 2 hours so say good-bye to all your friends." Joyce said. Sam's eyes widened.

"Two hours? I only have two hours? I need more than two hours! I need, like, twenty hours." Sam yelled, even though she only needs twenty minutes. She wouldn't be able to distract her mom for two hours. Not unless she somehow knocked her unconscious, which she wasn't willing to do. Even though she hated her right now, she was still her mom. She had to go now. She couldn't find a way to stop this.

She took a deep breath and said, "guys, I'm going to boarding school in California. I'm leaving in two hours and I'm leaving here right now so I have to say good-bye to all of you." She said good-bye to all her friends and went home to pack.
