Thank you guys so much for the reviews! They made my day! Hope you like this chapter! BTW, the reason I spell out 'mister' is because my computer is stupid and will erase it if I abreviate it. I don't think I spelled that right. XD
Milicent wrote the assignment on the board. Pick someone beside you to work on your Social Studies homework with. Sam looked to her left. The creepy kid that touched himself during class sat there and waved creepily to Sam. Then, she looked to her right. James smiled at her. Sam, seeing that the girl who had a HUGE crush on James sat there, swooning. Without word, James and Sam moved their desks towards each others'. They got their unfinished homework out.
"So," James said. "Colombus!" He exclaimed. Sam chuckled.
"We're not learning about Colombus." She stated with a smile. His smile faded away.
"We're not?"
"No!" She chuckled. "We're learning about the Holocaust."
"Oh..." He bit his lip and sighed. "I have no idea what to do now."
"Well..." She went on and on, secretly knowing that James would eye her a couple times while she was teaching.
"Got it?" She asked.
"I think..." He looked at her paper. He copied down the answers quickly.
"We're done, I guess..." She said gloomily. He shrugged.
"We could start brainstorming about that science project!" He suggested.
"Uh, yeah! So, what should we do?" She asked and got her science note book out.
"How about...Uh, let's just go to my house and go on the internet." He closed his science book. She shrugged and closed her notebook.
"U-uh, okay, um, what time should I be there?" He shrugged once more.
"You could come home on the bus, if you can." He said with a smile.
"Okay, I don't want to go home anytime soon." She chuckled. "Are you gonna try out for Glee Club?" James' head whipped up.
"There's a Glee club?" His eyes got wide. "Of course I am! Where's the sign up sheet?" He flipped his short hair.
"On the bulletin board outside of the room. I'm going to try out, as well."
"I didn't know you could sing."
"Well," She blushed slightly. "I, um, sing my baby sister to sleep every night..." She looked down at her feet.
The last bell rang then, and James helped Sam gather her stuff. The thanked him as they quickly got to their lockers and met at the bulletin board. James signed the Glee Club. Surprised, he saw that, before his name, his four friends had signed up as well. Under James' perfect hand writing, Sam quickly wrote her name out and ran with James to his bus. The ride was half silent and awkward, and then the bus stopped right infront of James' house. A simple house, nothing Sam expected form James Diamond. It was still better by Sam's house. By a long shot. James unlocked the door.
"My mom isn't home yet, so we can just hang in the livingroom for a bit." He said. He set his backpack on a coat rack and took her pea coat. He set it and her backpack on the same rack. He went to the kitchen. She slowly followed behind him, looking around.
"Want something?" He asked. She shrugged.
"Uh, no thank you." She denied. James came back with a Coke and a bowl of chips. He sat down next to Sam on the couch.
"So,'' He said. "I think we should make a volcano." Sam smiled.
"That's middle school. We'll get an F."
"Oh, yeah..." James trailed. "Sam, are you okay?" Sam looked up at him in confusion.
"What do you mean?" She put her notebook down.
"Well," He sighed. "You don't have a good home-life, and...I just...kind of..."
"Kind of...what?"
"Want you to be safe." She looked at him in shock.
"You- You hate me! Why would you want me to be safe?"
"I don't-" James was cut off by his mother walking in the door and setting down four shopping bags on the floor. James and Sam got off the couch.
"Well, who is this?" Ms. Diamond asked. She smiled at Sam who smiled back.
"Hello, Ms. Diamond, how are you?" Sam asked politely.
"Good, thank you." Ms. Diamond walked past James and lightly pinched his arm.
"She's a keeper." She whispered before going into her room. James smiled down at Sam who sat down and shoved her hands into her black jeans. James sat down next to her.
"Your mom's nice." She whispered, a frown appearing on her face.
"What's wrong?" James asked, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"I, um, I have to go." She said quickly. She got her coat and backpack off the rack. "Thanks, James, I'll see you tomorrow in Glee Club." She said before shutting the door and headed home.
...
Sam ran to the auditorium. She didn't want to be late to her audition. The teacher was Mister Rocque, and everyone said he was mean. There was a man when she got there that made her wait outside. James ran out of the doors.
"Hey, Sam! I made it!" He exclaimed before running to lunch. "I'll save a seat for you!" Sam smiled at James and walked in shakily. Yeah, this was nothing big, but she didn't know if she could sing or not. She just sang. She'd picked the one song that always made her smile. From her favorite Broadway musical, Wicked, she was singing Defying Gravity.
She made her way up to the stage, facing the man with courage.
"What's your name?" He asked, looking down at his paper.
"U-uh, Samantha Moore." She stuttered, shifting side to side on her feet. Mister Rocque glided his finger down the paper and cam to a stop.
"Okay, Samantha, sing." He said. The piano started up and she nervously sang.
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
of someone else's game
Too late for second guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap
It's time to try
defying gravity
I think I'll try
defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
and you won't bring me down...
James secretly popped in the auditorium to listen.
I'm through accepting limits
'cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But 'til I try I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you won't bring me down...
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you won't bring me down,
Bring me down
Oh Oh Oh
Claps came from two people. One, faintly, from Mister Rocque, and then a loud clap coming from James. He came up from his hidden spot and ran up to Sam, not caring thatv Mister Rocque didn't want him in there.
"Holy God, Sam! You're amazing!" James hugged her tightly, and Sam made a choking nose.
"I...can't...breathe!" She said. He let go of her.
He patted her head lightly, "Sorry." He muttered.
"He's right." Mister Rocque said. "Welcome to the Glee Club. You can just call me Gustavo. Meet me and your other class mates at fourth block." Sam smiled and ran to lunch with James. She sat between James and Kendall.
"Yo, bitches." She said excitedly. James chuckled.
"You made it, didn't you?" Carlos asked with a smile.
"Yes! Did you guys?" She asked. They all nodded.
"And, you know Jo Taylor, Camille Roberts, and Rachael ? The chearleaders? Yeah, they made it too." Kendall said with a nod. A small laugh cam from Sam.
"This is gonna be a blast." She said sracastically before taking a bite of her green apple.
