Here is the next chapter. It could be considered a filler, but I wanted to get it out. This is from a few different point of views but it all ties into the story. Hope you guys enjoy it!

CHAPTER 5: A TRAITOR AMONG US
DIANA
I couldn't believe it! Not only was Samantha lying to us, she had quite a few people in on her scheme. She was hiding her relationship with that lowlife John Bender. It wouldn't have been a big deal if she was seeing one of the nerds of the school, but John Bender? I don't even see what she sees in him. He's nothing but a rude guy who flirts with anything that wears a skirt. He doesn't know the first thing about making a girl happy.
I sat in my car all night after being rejected by Becca. When her friends decided to leave, I took a few pictures of Sam and John making googly eyes and sneaking a kiss every so often. When they drove off, I left so that I wasn't caught by Becca.
After getting home from Becca's, I made a bunch of phone calls, calling all of the friends that Sam and I both share. I told them all to come to my house as soon as they could and that I had something to tell them. I had also gotten the pictures I took developed so that they could see the physical evidence.
Twenty minutes later, Claire and the other girls showed up and we gathered around the kitchen table. "Diana, why did you call us here? We have lives you know?"
"Shut it, Brianna! I am in charge here and you will come when I want you here."
"No, Sam is the one in charge. You are her second in command! You think you have all the power, but you don't!"
"She won't be in charge for much longer once you guys hear this. I went over to Becca's last night to see if she wanted to throw a party and she said she couldn't because she had friends over. Sam and Andy were two of her friends over there."
"So, the two of them have lives outside of Shermer? Big whoop," Brianna said, giving me attitude.
"She was with John Bender, Andy's girl, and two of Bender's friends. And she is romantically involved with him! She is dating that scum of the earth."
Claire stood up and just about screamed at me, "So what if she is? Maybe she is actually happy!"
"Says the girl who was going on and on about how she was just soooo in love with the same guy in question."
"You know what, I feel bad about that now! And just leave her alone. You have no idea what is going on in her life! If you were really her friend, you would support her. Come on girls, I don't see why we have to stay here anymore. Diana obviously wants to stick her nose where it doesn't belong and I don't think we need to stick around to watch. Good luck on ruining lives and relationships just like you always do, Diana. When you are ready to be a normal girl again, you know where to find us…and Sam."
CLAIRE
After the disastrous meeting with Diana, Brianna and I immediately went to Samantha's house to let her know what happened. The two of us talked it out after climbing back in Bri's car and decided that we owed it to Sam to tell her that she has been found out. I didn't care what it would do to my reputation and neither did Bri. Sam is our friend and she means more to me than some stupid popularity.
We arrived at her house and rushed to the door. Bri began to bang on the door and I yelled out her name. "Sam, Sam! Open the door! We have to talk to you." We must have stood there at least ten minutes before the door opened. When it did, there stood a shirtless John Bender with half-dressed Sam on his back, arms wrapped around his neck. She was in a pair of shorts and her bra.
"Ummm…can we come in? We have something to tell you."
"Yeah, sorry about this…" The four of us headed back into the kitchen and took a seat at the table. John headed to the living room to grab their clothes which lay on the floor. He came back in and threw a shirt at Sam. "So, what is this all about?"
"The two of you; Diana found out that you are romantically involved with John, as she put it, when you guys were at Becca's last night. She knew something was up and staked out the house all night until you guys left to come back to Shermer. She even took pictures and showed them to us."
"Hey, Princess, why are you telling us this?" John spoke up, putting on that act of his.
"I'm telling you this because Diana will use this to her advantage. She will try to either break you two up or totally ruin your reputation, Sam. From the little display we saw this morning and the pictures; it's obvious that you are in love with each other. I'm just saying to be on your guard the next couple days just in case she decides to try something."
"Thanks, Princess, but why should we listen to you? Last I checked, which was last Saturday at detention, you wanted nothing to do with me."
"Well, Sam is my best friend, alright? I care about her, Bender. I don't want to see my best friend get hurt because of Diana and her crazy schemes."
Brianna stepped in, "Hey, let's quit fighting and focus on the real problem here. Diana could be plotting her revenge as we speak. She has a problem with being the second in command while Sam holds the top spot and she has always been looking for an excuse to get Sam out of that spot so she can take over. And I don't know if I can handle that girl if she were in charge. I already want to sock her in the face."
"So, what do John and I do now? Brianna, you always have good ideas."
"I guess you just go about your lives and continue hiding your relationship as if no one knew about it. Just until we can either convince Diana to keep it a secret or…"
"Or…"
"Or she tells the whole school and your reputation goes down the drain."
"Hey, Bri, we should get going. I should get home before my mom does. I'm still grounded for sneaking out to go to Stubbie's party a couple weeks ago. Just keep it hidden until we can figure out what to do. Bri and I will come over tomorrow or Monday after school so we can talk." After a quick goodbye and dropping Bri off at her house, I arrived home to my parents arguing once again about me.
SAMANTHA
I closed the door behind Claire and Brianna and turned around, leaning against it and sliding to the ground. John sat down next to me. Neither of us said anything, just sat in silence. I don't know what happened or if he had somewhere to go, but John eventually got off the floor and left me all by my lonesome. Honestly, even though I was used to him leaving to go home, I actually felt lonely for once. My dad is back in in Springfield with his mom for the weekend. John and I usually spend all of Saturday together, but obviously that wasn't happening today. Is he as worried about the Diana situation as I am? I know he likes his privacy, but it worries when he won't even talk to me like in a situation like this, especially to me. I just hoped that we could eventually talk about this and figure out a solution to stopping Diana. Why does love have to be so simple yet so difficult?
Rate and review, please? With a cherry on top?
