"You can't do that!" Jenna yelled, causing others to come over

"I can do what I want." I turned my back to them.

Haley puts her hand on my shoulder. "Sam, we're sorry if we hurt you, but you hurt us too."

I swipe the dainty hand away. "I know that I hurt you. But every chance I tried to apologize, you guys didn't accept it. I have no other choice." As I said this, tears rolled down my face.

"Oh, honey." Jenna says, hugging me

Haley throws herself around me also.

The rest of the group got bored so they all went and collected their stuff.

We hugged for at least twelve minutes. I'm just glad that I have my best friends back.

At school the next day, the three of us were walking together again. It felt good to be back. When we were on our way to Social Studies, I remembered that I had my research paper still in my locker. I ran back to the lockers and to my surprise, Danny was standing there.

"Hey Sam."

"Hi Danny. What brings you over here?" I pointed behind me. "Your locker is—" He cut me off by putting a finger to my lips.

"I need to ask you something."

"Okay, shoot." I said as I got my project out of my locker

"Um, I was wondering if you wanted to study with me tonight for our English exam?"

"Sure, that sounds cool. I'll meet you at your place." I walked around the corner. A smile formed out of my face.

I went over to Danny's house around seven. His mom greeted me at the door and led me to his room. Danny's room was really cool. Just then I heard the door slam behind me. "I see you've found my room."

"Uh huh." I answered, putting down my bag and taking out a book. "We should probably start on chapter nine." I sat down on his bed. "That's the hardest. What do you think?" I look at him. He's staring at me lovingly. "Uh, Danny? If you're going to stare at something, try the book."

"What? Oh. Right. Sorry." He picks up his book and starts reading.

We quizzed each other for hours. At about eleven, I started to fall asleep.

"Sam? Sam? You awake?" he asked

I snapped awake. "Wha'?! Oh, I'm up."

"You wanna go home?"

"Nah, I'm alright. We can study a little bit more."

"Sam, it's quarter after eleven."

"WHAT?! Oh, my God. My parents are so gonna kill me." I said as I fumbled for my stuff

"Can I at least walk you home?"

"Fine."

We walked to my house in the breezy night. I shivered. "You cold?" Dan asked

"Nah, I'm fine." I replied with a smile

"Okay, then." But a few minutes later, he slipped his arm around my waist. I blushed immediately.

When we got to my house, I didn't want to wake up my parents so I decided to climb in through the window.

"I guess this is my stop."

"Guess so."

"I hope you do well on the exam tomorrow."

"You too."

Danny leaned his head in and closed his eyes. He kissed me. I was a bit in shock, but then I wrapped my arms around his neck. It was the perfect moment.

I pulled back about a minute later. I blushed.

"Night Sam." He walked away.

"Night Boyfriend." I whispered as I climbed up the ladder to my room
