Now let's see Samson. Is it cool if we call him 'Samson' instead of 'Samuel'? Anyway, here we go!

Chapter 4: Sam

Three days later, it was nearing the Valentine's day dance and a few girls have already asked Jonah, Cyrus and Hawk out to the dance and it was Sam's turn to ask someone out. He walked across the hallway and sees Cody and Mike in their lockers and greeted them. Cody then asked, "Hey, Sammy. Ask anyone yet?"

"No, not yet. I gotta tell ya, I'm a little nervous." Sam replied.

"About what?"

"Asking someone out to the dance. What if she says 'no'?"

"Just find another one. And don't worry so much. Everything we be fine if you just be yourself and relax and try not to say anything stupid." Mike said.

"Oh, right. Like the time that you asked that girl out to the 7th grade dance and then you blurted out something about pencils." Cody said.

Mike groans and said, "I had a nervous breakdown, okay?"

"And she-what's her name again, Kirsten-laughed at you like hysterical."

"That was then, okay? This is now."

"Sam, take it from your uncle Cody. Don't do what Mike did. Just be you and be the best you that you can be."

Sam nodded his head and said, "Wish me luck."

"Best of luck!"

Minutes later, he sees one-15, 5'2, 148 pounds, green eyes, dark brunette hair, wears a pink T-shirt with light blue jeans-heading towards the locker and he said, "Hi."

She looks at him and said, "Hey, Sam."

Sam was surprised that she actually knew his name and asked, "How'd you know my name?"

"I go to fourth period with Jonah. He's in my Who-story class."

"That's cool..."

"Becky. Becky Portman."

"Okay. I was sorta kinda wondering that maybe you would like to go with me to the Valentine's day dance with me...if you want to?"

"Absoultely!"

"You would?"

"Yeah, sure. We're close to the same age and I know Jonah and I would be crazy to turn that invitation down. It was very sweet of you."

She then kisses Sam on the cheek and she walks off, smiling, leaving Sam feeling a bit lovestruck. He sighed softly and and said, "Piece of cake."

He then walks away with confidence and said, "Yes!"

He also sees Cody walking by and giving him a thumbs up and for Cody, it's a sign that his mission is accomplished. Cody gives him a thumbs-up back as well and said, "Good work, dude!"

Good thing Sam has Cody to back him up! Coming up...Travis!
