For the next few weeks, Sam avoided Danny at school like a plague. Rumors floated around that Danny and Sam had broken up. This was of course a true rumor. Then there were other rumors… that Valerie had stolen Danny from Sam. In Sam's mind, that one was true as well. Other rumors said Danny wanted Sam back or that he wanted both Sam and Valerie. Sam figured she'd get over Danny quicker if she was in a relationship with someone else so she began dating a new transfer student. Finally Paulina talked to Sam about it.
"So… is it true?" Paulina asked as she put her lunch tray down and sat next to Sam.
"Is what true?" Sam asked wondering what the Latina was talking about
"You know… about you and Danny breaking up? And that Valerie stole him?"
"As far as I'm concerned, yea."
"Well… has he at least tried to apologize?"
"Yes, with surprises and gifts in my locker… which I immediately threw out."
"And what's this I hear about a new boy toy?" Paulina asked with giddy excitement.
"Speak of the devil." Sam said as a tall boy with spiked white hair came up, wrapped his arms around her. Sam gave him a small smile with a kiss and introduced him.
"Paulina, this is Elliot, my new boyfriend." She said as Elliot nodded. "He's a mute…"
Unknown to Sam, Elliot wasn't Elliot or a mute for that matter… he was a… well… you'll just have to wait and see….
It was at this moment Danny decided to come over.
"What do you want Danny?"
"Sam, just give me a moment to explain-"
"No. No explanations are necessary. You obviously picked her over me for reasons I'll never understand."
"But-"
"You want an explanation; I'll give you an explanation." Sam said as music started up. (A/N: I don't own "Play with fire" by Hilary Duff)
I can't believe it's really you
Been so long, you look good
I hear you're doing really well
Don't ask me, let me tell you
How I've been since when you left
Since you left me for death Sam now stood up and made a gesture as if wiping sweat from her brow
Finally every tear has dried
I've wiped you from my life Sam now stood up and made a gesture as if wiping sweat from her brow
Do you remember all the times you said you'd call me Sam made a cell phone gesture and quickly 'put it away'
'Cause I remember all the reasons people warned me Sam pulled out a black cigarette lighter with a 3D skull and crossbones on it
And now I hear you saying that you still adore me
But if you think I'd ever get with you again
Then you can just Sam pulled out a black cigarette lighter with a 3D skull and crossbones on it
Love me, love me
Feed the flame She lit the lighter
If you want me back again She pointed to Danny accusingly before holding the lighter with 2 hands
Burn into the sky
Higher and higher The flame got higher and higher
Baby, can you play with fire? Until Sam blew it out
(Burn into the sky)
Love me, love me
(Far into the sky)
If you want me Sam pointed to Danny again.
You never know just what you got
'Til it's gone, you freak out
But I'm not falling for that game
Boys like you never change Sam pointed to Danny again.
You made me feel I wasn't enough
Wasn't enough for your love Sam pretended to grab her heart and push it away
But it was insecurity that made you run
It wasn't me Sam pointed to herself and shook her head no
So don't you sit there trying to
Give me more excuses She wagged her finger in Danny's face
I don't have time for this
I'm off to play in Houston Sam pointed behind her at the reference to her family reunion in Texas coming up soon.
And I'm too busy with the millions things I'm doing
You can't make up for what you've done
But you still try to be the one Sam pointed to the trashcan full of the gifts he left in her locker.
Love me, love me
Feed the flame She lit the lighter
If you want me back again She pointed to Danny accusingly before holding the lighter with 2 hands
Burn into the sky
Higher and higher The flame got higher and higher
Baby, can you play with fire? Until Sam blew it out
(Burn into the sky)
Love me, love me
(Far into the sky)
If you want me
Ooh, by the way, by the way
I've found someone who gives me space She gestured to Elliot
Keeps me safe She hugged herself
Makes me sane than grabbed her head and held it straight
Found someone to take your place
Now I'm safe in his arms Elliot walked over and teasingly put his arms around her
And I decided only he can play with fire
Love me, love me
Feed the flame She lit the lighter
If you want me back again She pointed to Danny accusingly before holding the lighter with 2 hands
Burn into the sky
Higher and higher The flame got higher and higher
Baby, can you play with fire? Until Sam blew it out
I can't believe it's really you
(Love me, love me) She lit the lighter again
I hear you're doing really well
(If you want me) The flame got higher and higher
Finally every tear has dried
(Love me, love me)
Can boys like you, boys like you
Play with fire? Until the fire alarm went off and the sprinklers turned on, soaking the students and putting out the flame
Danny stood there as his wet hair flopped in his face. "I will get you back and I now know how, but it won't be immediately" he thought to himself as he walked out of the cafeteria while everyone else ran out trying to get outside to dry off.
A/N: So that's it. Sorry I haven't updated in while. Family issues… again. I had 2 uncles die in the same week! But yes, the plot is STARTING to thicken up. Yes there is a new ghost to be revealed but that's later. I do apologize for the last chapter. It was rushed.
On another note, "The Phantom Knight" is up for adoption… with a few strings attached. 1: I must approve of your writing style. 2: I will beta every chapter before it is put up. 3: I will give the new author my long term plans for the story seeing as I had no short term plans. 4: you must know some things about how cars work. The story was going to go into detail much later on. I had the middle to the end figured out but not from the beginning to the middle. PM me a link to a sample of your writing or PM me for my email and email me a sample of your writing as well as your short term plans for the story
