Sam's POV
''Well, hello Freddie. Nice to see you're all alive.'' Principal Franklin nodded, but he still seemed kinda freaked out about everything. I noticed one of the students in the back falling to the ground. Reuben saw it too, so he nudged Gibby and sent him to go check on the boy. I turned to Reuben, looking right in eyes and smiled. I was so glad he was gonna be okay. I leaned closer and just as I was about to kiss him, a screamed ripped through the air. It was the boy that Gibby tried to help.
Gibby had been trying to sit him up, but the boy was freaking out. He was screaming and throwing himself away from Gibby. What the hell happened to him? The boy turned around just in time for me to see a big scratch over his face. Only moments after, Reuben pulled my head to look away from the poor boy.
''You don't need to watch that.'' He whispered, running his fingers lightly over my cheek, as I closed my eyes and let one single tear fall from my eye. Reuben wiped it away instantly with his thumb. There were screams and shouts coming from the boy while Gibby was still trying to calm him down. I heard a dull sigh from above me and looked up. It was that Erik guy. He went over to help Gibby, and I couldn't help but look as he bent down and calmed down the boy in less than a couple of seconds. Erik noticed me staring so he grinned as though he was very proud of himself.
I turned my head back to Reuben and caught a small glare in his eyes, sent to, none other than Erik.
''Hey,'' I nudged him slightly in the ribs, ''Why are you looking at him like that? He saved your life.''
''Looking at him like what?'' Reuben asked.
I sighed, ''Never mind.''
''Here, just wrap it around yourself.'' Erik gave me a blanket and put it around my shoulders. I gladly accepted seeing as I was very cold, and Reuben wasn't here so I couldn't snuggle against him. Erik sat down next to me and put his arm around me. I twitched and gave him a strange look.
''Don't worry, I'm just gonna keep you warm while your love is peeing.'' he smiled. This felt wrong. Really, really wrong. We had put up a big fire on the beach and sat around it in a circle, and I still felt cold. Erik, though, he was only wearing his ripped up jeans, not even a shirt.
Freddie obviously noticed how I wasn't very comfortable being 'kept warm' by Erik, so he came over to us with an unpleasant look on his face.
''It's alright, I can take it from here.'' Just as he was about to sit down to take over Erik's job, my eyes widened and I pulled Erik back towards me, without thinking anything through.
''Sorry, man, but I guess she doesn't think that way.'' Erik pulled me closer to him, but I pushed him away a bit.
''You think so?'' Freddie was about to start a fight.
''Hey, guys, just leave her alone.'' Gibby came out of nowhere, sat on the other side of me a pulled me away from Erik.
''Uh... What's going on here?'' I saw my boyfriend emerge from between Freddie and Erik. I looked at Reuben and rolled my eyes, as if I was trying to explain the situation. He obvioulsy got what I wanted to say so he just smiled and sat down on the sand where Erik was just a few moments ago. Freddie and him went away right about the time Reuben came back.
''I'll leave you two alone now.'' Gibby said, handing me over to Reuben. Seriously, what was it with acting like I'm a toy or something?
''Thanks, man.'' Reuben smiled at him. Gibby nodded, and went back to his ''seat'' next to Ted.
''What was that? I leave alone for 5 minutes and you already have 3 boys fighting over you.'' Reuben teased me.
''Oh, shut up!'' I grinned at him.
''Make me.'' he teased back, so I leaned in and kissed him. I could feel him smiling behind that kiss, so I let myself grin too. I backed away, but he pulled me back in, placing his lips on mine once more. It felt like I was in heaven. Litteraly. I moved my lips in sync with his, but none of us deepened the kiss, for there were a lot of people around us, it would be just rude.
When we finally pulled away, I realized that everyone was here except for Freddie and Wendy. I wondered where they had gone.
''So, are you feeling any better?'' Reuben interrupted my thoughts.
''Yeah, I guess. You?''
''Uh-um. I guess that Erik guy stopped me from bleeding out.'' he said bitterly.
''Well, you should be thankful to him and not glare at him every five seconds.''
''I know, it's just that I don' like him being around you that much. He seems to me like he has his eye on you.''
''Are you jealous?'' I smiled competitively. I knew guys hated when girls thought they were jealous.
''What? No, of course, I'm not jealous, I just-''
''You're jealous!''
''I'm not!''
''Yes, you are!''
''No, Sam, I'm serious, I'm not jealous, I just don't like having other guys flirting with you.'' he admitted.
''First of all, he was never flirting with me, and second - You're jealous.''
''I'm not..'' he sighed, giving up. ''If I admit I'm jealous, will you stay away from him?''
''Sure.'' I smiled, and kissed him once more.
I pulled back and looked up to see two people coming over to the fire. It was Wendy and Freddie, holding hands. What the-?
