"I know Sam, I think you looked great in the sparkly green one though." Said Bryanna, from behind the changing room door.
"But its so…" Sam shrugged, coming out in a black strapless dress.
"I still like the green one." Said Bryanna, pointing to a halter-top dark green sparkly dress hanging on the door.
"Ok. I guess so." Sam said, and went back into the room to put her clothes back on.
"It's on sale too." Said Bryanna. "I'm going to go pay, I'll see you out there."
"Here's my gift certificate." Said Sam, pulling out the card Jen had given her for her birthday. And a few minutes later Sam found Bryanna outside the dressing room looking at a pair of dark green heels with thin straps.
"Look, these are your size." Said Bryanna, "Try them on." Sam grumbled and slipped them on.
"They fit!" said Bryanna, lets get these too."
"Ok." Said Sam. And they paid.

School was the same after thanksgiving break, and at lunch on the Monday they got back all Jen did was talk about Ryan.
"Oh my god, did I tell you? He's going to a Christmas party near to yours and he invited me to it!" said Jen.
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah, but Sam, its like an hour and a half away, how will you drive there and back in one night? Ryan rented him and me a suite, he'd probably rent you guys a room too, and we wont do anything." Said Jen at Sam's suspecting look.
"Oh. I don't know tell Ryan to ask Jake, my parents will probably be ok with it." Said Sam.
"Great! He's picking me up from school today so I'll talk to him then." Said Jen.
Sam nodded and looked down at her peanut butter and jelly sandwich. She had made it this morning and put way too much jelly on it. Her Gram used to make them just right and now Sam's sandwiches were just squished and uneven. Jen saw Sam looking disgustedly at the food and remembered the comparison that Darrell had made about peanut butter and jelly 5 months ago. They hadn't made them like a sandwich, but more like moldy pieces of bread with peanuts and grapes scattered around. Right now no one knew if Sam and Jake were ever going to be a couple at the rate they were going.
The bell rang and Sam tossed her lunch into the trash, got up and grabbed her backpack.
Jake had made plans to stay overnight in Reno and Sam had gotten permission. The rest of the month went by like a blur and so did December, right up until Christmas Eve, and the day of the party, when Jake came home again.
Did you like it? I know it was short. At least I wrote something! Review, I ALSO NEED GIFT IDEAS FOR SAM TO GIVE TO JAKE and for Jake to give to Sam, but I need ideas, please give me some.
Thanks a bunch.
