Chapter 2

~2 hours later~

"So, what do you want for Christmas this year, Amanda?" Sam patiently asks the girl sitting on her lap, faking a sweet voice

"I really want a bike, it costs like $1000!" Amanda pleads from Sam

"Well, do you really think Santa has that kind of money? Why don't you go get a job and pay for it yourself?" Sam impatiently asks the little girl, irritated by the slow movement of time and really wishing to quickly buy a hoverboard for her roommate. The girl gets off her lap and walks off in an upset manner

"Ring, ring, ring" her phone suddenly answers, Sam picks up and is blasted with a high-pitched voice

"Hey, Sam" the red-hair girl greets her with concern in her voice. "Where are you?" Cat asks as she looks around the house

"I'm at… um," Sam struggles to come up with an idea. "I'm at the… reindeer store" Sam managed to come up with a valid excuse

"What are you doing there?" Cat asks in a perplexed manner. "I thought you hated animals!" Cat clarifies for her roommate

"No, I love animals!" Sam attempts to convince her roommate

"That's nice, can you please get me a reindeer?" Cat asks her for an unrealistic favor

"You know what? I would absolutely love to do that. But, they belong to the mall" Sam manages to excuse herself from buying an animal for her roommate

"Oh, ok. I understand!" Cat compromises with an unintentionally disappointed tone in her voice

"I'll talk to you later," Sam tells her roommate and hangs up

"Well, that didn't really go well!" Sam scolds herself. "Ok, this job might be boring as hell, but, I just need to get through this job and get the hover board for Cat!" Sam reminds herself

~20 minutes later~

"Oh, my god, this is so boring!" Sam thinks to herself, still awaiting any traffic

"Hey, Santa. You want to take your lunch break now?" the manager asks him, notices how bored the blonde teen appeared

"Sure!" Sam immediately takes the deal and gets up, but, stops when she hears a voice saying-

"Oh, my gosh, it's Miss Clause!" an enthusiastic 10-year old girl screams and runs towards the girl dressed in the Santa costume

"Sorry, kiddo; but, I'm on my lunch-"Sam politely attempts to explain to the little girl but stops when she notices a tall and handsome guy stand behind her

"Hey, kid, is that your brother?" Sam pauses and whispers to the young girl, hoping for an answer

"Yeah, he's like 17 now! So, he's pretty old" the young girl explains to her

"Hey, Megan! Is she available?" the tall guy asks his younger sister, noticing that the blonde girl in the costume was walking away

"Well, she said she was going on a lunch-"Megan, the 10-year old girl, attempts to explain to her brother but gets interrupted when the Santa costume girl says-

"Well, I was just kidding!" Sam refuses her earlier claim with her eyes locked on the 17-year-old guy's face, deeply admiring his blue eyes

"Sweet! Megan, you better hurry" the guy orders his younger sister. "I'm pretty sure Miss Claus here is really busy today!"

"But, Connor. This is my first time meeting Santa!" Megan begins whining

"No, kid, it's okay. Take your time!" Sam encourages the little girl. "Take as much time as you need!" Sam slowly iterates, still admiring the young man's body

"Sweet!" Megan squeals in excitement and sits on Sam's lap

"Ok, Megan. What do you want for Christmas this year?" Sam asks in an ironically sweet manner, blushing from the presence of her older brother

"Well, I want a guitar because I want to join the school band next semester" Megan answers her question in an excited and zealous manner. "What do you want for Christmas, Miss Clause?" Megan asks the blonde girl in the costume

"It's already come true!" Sam drops an innuendo as she continues to check out her older brother

Megan gets off her lap and skips towards the bathroom. Connor turns around and admires Sam

"So, how's the North Pole?" Connor jokes around with Sam

"Oh, it feels a lot like L.A!" Sam jokes back with him

"So, Megan's a pretty cute name" Sam attempts to make a personal connection

"I know, right!" her brother nods in agreement

"At Webcon, I and my friend Carly met two fans from San Diego and they had a sister named Megan!" Sam establishes a connection

"That's great!" Connor shrugs it off without excitement, already recognizing Sam from iCarly

After a minute of awkward silence, Sam asks him, "So, you doing anything tonight?" Sam asks him awkwardly, hoping for a response

"Yeah, I'm going to a Christmas party with tons of guys tonight" Connor answers her question. "Do you want to come?" Connor asks as he notices the jealousy on the teen girl

"Yeah, sure" Sam immediately agrees. "Can I please bring my roommate, Cat?"

"Sure" Connor agrees before he takes out a piece of paper and writes something on it. "Here's my number, just text me when your done with your job and I'll come pick you two up"

"Aw, thanks!" Sam thanks, Connor and types his phone number on her phone

"Interesting" Amanda thinks to herself as she walks from behind the two teenagers. Amanda walks around the mall and turns around for the food corner

"Hey, Ellie. You might be interested in what I'm going to tell you!" Amanda interests the girl sitting at a table in the food court

"What is it?" her friend asks her

"Well, that girl Sam over there just pissed me off" Amanda informs her in an angry manner

"Oh, my god, she ripped my Poober because I cussed at her!" Ellie sympathizes with her friend. "Where are going with this?"

"Well, she likes this guy and is going to a party with him" Amanda explains the scenario. "Since she ruined your Christmas and my Christmas, do you want to get some revenge?"

"Yeah," Ellie agrees. Ellie takes a sip of her drink and says, "Sam might be going to a party with him, but, not for long!"
