Summary: This wasn't how it was supposed to work.
A/N: It's still junior year in high school.
A/N2: Thanks, as always, to my two awesome betas, theagonyofblank and wolfemeister!
It was crazy. The whole thing was crazy, and Sam knew it, but she didn't know how to stop it. She didn't even really know how it had started. This stupid contest, fighting for Harrison's affections.
Sam wasn't in love with him. She knew that much. He was sweet, he was funny, he was loyal, and he should have been perfect. Should have been everything she could possibly want in a boyfriend.
She didn't really want to date him, though. She just didn't want Brooke to date him either.
It was a lose-lose situation, really. No matter who Harrison chose, Sam already knew that she wouldn't be happy about it.
This wasn't how it was supposed to work. Sam was supposed to have a girl as a best friend, and then she'd fall in love with the cute boy next door, and the two of them would live happily ever after. Instead, the boy was the best friend, and Sam was falling for the girl down the hall.
Basically, prom was going to suck, and Sam had no clue what to do about it.
