Chapter 16

"Sammy lose her hair?" A crewl senior asked mocking her as they passed in the halls.

Winter break was over. Sam walked down the halls clutching her books to her chest. She had a baseball cap pulled down covering her eyes. She had an older hoody on and a pair of jeans. All were baggy on her thin body. The hallway of kids seemed to seperate her as she kept walking to her locker. Like she was just another Britney. (do not own). Another kid gave her the 'look'. Sam figured she was something that that person really or even wanted to get. Finally she got to her locker. She opened it and almost just stuck her head in and try to slam the metal door on it a hundred times over and over.

"You ok Sam?" Jen walked up to Sam with concern in her voice. Sam jumped at her voice but hugged her non the less.

"I want to go home." She said almost crying from the emotion. Jen put her arms around Sam.

"Its ok. I'll be here. And Darrell. Please Sam. Its going to Ok. ok?" She said just as the bell rung telling them it was there first class. Jen said the goodbyes and walked away, even though it killed her too leave her best friend like this.

Sam slowly walked to her class room. Trying to find safety. She could feel the stares, she could hear them laughing...and if they weren't they were pretending to pity her. Sam didn't know which one was worse. She sat in her seat and tried to concentrate on what the teacher was saying. A boy next to her passed her a note. Then pointed to a person in the back corner. Sam knew who it was.

It read.

Sammy, darling...u ok? tell me if anybody gives u a hard time. i'll beat the snot outta them. cu after class.

-ur secret lover...lol

She didn't write back to Darrell in case a teacher caught her.

"Sam!" He yelled down the hall trying to get her attention. "Sammy wait up..."

"Yeah?" She said still walking. Trying to hold back tears.

"Come here." He said and led her through the big doors. Once they were out side he wrapped his arms around her and let her cry.

"Hi, Bryanna is Sam there?" Jake stood his dorm's hallway on the pay phone.

"Yes, hold on Jake." She called Sam down to the phone. After a few seconds of hearing nothing, she went up stairs to see what was going on.

"Sam, Jake is on the phone." She knocked on Sam's open door. She saw Sam lying on her bed asleep. Byranna shut the door and went downstairs again.

"Jake? Sorry, Sam seems to be asleep...Can she call you back?"

"Um. I'll try back later.." He said. "Thanks Bryanna."

Byranna hung up the phone and shook her head. Those kids had alot to deal with now.
