Chapter 8

"Hey Sam! Wait up! Geez, you walk fast." Darrell huffed as he finally caught up with Sam in the hallways. Sam stopped for a second so that he could catch up.

"What?" She asked nicely as possible surpriseing him, causing him not to say anything for a minute. "Fine. Nice talking."

"Sam! Wait up! Geez this is freakin' Daja 'vu!" He ran up again trying to get her attention. Once he caught up he grabbed on of her shoulders. "Sam! whats going on with you?"

"Let go of me!" She said ok yelled. "Nothing is going on." She said a little more quiet. Give and take.

"Well then I competely don't understand woman then. Sam if I can do anything just ask me ok? I hate seeing you like this." Darrell let go of her and stalked away.

"Darrell wait." Sam turned around and followed him. "I'm fine. Just a little confused. Me and Jake broke up."

Darrell turned around to see Sam looking down trying to hold back her tears. "Aw Sammy girl, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to press, I just didn't like you being so sad." Darrell put his arms around her. Sam sniffed.

"I'm sorry I've been cranky. I miss him though." She put her head against his chest.

"I know hun. I also know that I know women." He teased. Sam pulled out of the embrace laughing.

"What did you want to talk to me about." She asked as they made there way down the hallways.

"Just wanted to say happy holidays darling." It was the last day of school. "Two weeks of FREEDOM"

"Ahh...Hey you still coming to the end of the year bonfire?" She asked.

"Wouldn't miss it. Remind me when is it?" He teased earning a punch in the arm from Sam. "Hey, I know this sounds forward. Since well of Jake and everything, but you maybe wanna go out?" He asked. "its totally cool if you know..."

"I don't know Darrell. I'm sorry. Can I think about it?" She asked.

"Of course. Darlin' you know my number, anytime." Darrell said as he gave her one more hug and ran to his locker for the last time that day.

"Sam wait up!" Will this maddness ever stop! Sam stopped once again. She knew who it was. Jen.

"Yes?" Sam asked.

"Whats up? Ok, GUESS WHAT?" Jen asked excited. Ignoring the confused look in Samantha's eyes.

"What?" Sam getting into it now.

"Ryan asked me out! I should of told you this morning but I didn't see you! You know why?" She asked. Sam was about to answer. "Ok, I'll tell you, he gave me a ride! He is SO sweet and SO considerate."

Sam was happy for her. Jen had always like Ryan. "That is so awesome! You guys are perfect for each other." Jen hugged Sam hard.

"Thank you! I have to go though! Ryans picking me up! I'll see you later k? Maybe we can go for a ride?" Jen laughed and was walking backwards to talk to Sam.

"Ya sure! I'll see you soon. Now go get Romeo!" Sam laughed. She watched Jen run outside the big doors that claimed Darton High. She was kind of jealous. But really happy for her. Sam and Jake had just about nothing in common. And maybe that was the problem. They know just about everything about each other. But sometimes that can be a bad thing. Because you have nothing to talk about just like Jake said. Sure Sam didn't agree it. But she wanted to resect Jake. She didn't want to lose her friend. but she didn't know that it was going to kill her heart in the process.

I know short! Happy Easter though!
