I'm really sorry I took such a long time getting this chapter out!!! But I hope you like it!!
Chapter 2
Lunch (Casey's POV)
Sammy came over to the table where Dot, Holly, Billy, Danny, and I were sitting. She's still talking to Marissa.
"So…" she said. "Marissa you know that old Thompson house?"
"Yeah." she said frowning slightly. "What about it?"
"I saw someone in there." Sammy said. Marissa stared at her fearfully
"So I was thinking-"
"No, Sammy! I'm not going in there with you! So don't even think about it!" Marissa shrieked. My ears perked up at that. Was she really going to go in there?!
"Fine!" Sammy said and turned away from Marissa. "So, anyone else want to come?"
"I'll go." Holly said.
"Me too." Dot said. Sammy smiled and her eyes glinted that way they always do when she's going to get into mischief. She looked over at us. I have to stop her before she gets herself killed!
"Don't go Sammy!" I begged.
"Why?" she asked defensively.
"What if something happened to you?!" I asked, raising my voice. My mind was racing and I could almost picture all the things that could happen to her. She always got into weird, and almost always dangerous, situations. Now, I never really believed in ghosts but if there's something going on in that house, I don't want Sammy anywhere near there. She would find something or do something that would get her all wrapped up in another mystery and most likely risk her life trying to solve it. "Maybe I could go with her so I could…protect her…just in case…" my thoughts trailed off.
"Why don't you go with her so you can protect her?!" Billy teased almost as if he had been reading my mind.
"Shut up!" I snapped embarrassed that he had said what I had just been thinking. I really hoped that no one saw me blush. Billy whistled silently.
"I'm still going!" she said and jerked her chin up. What's with the attack?!" I wondered. "Doesn't she know that I only care about her safety?!"
"Don't worry Sammy, I'll go with you and I bet Danny will too." Billy said. I made a fist under the table, trying not to be jealous but my thoughts continued to wander. "If anyone should go with her it should be me!" I thought. "Wait, where did that come from?"
"Sure I'll go, if Marissa will come." Danny said and looked over at Marissa.
"I'll go." She said. "Has everyone gone crazy?!" my mind screamed.
"Cool." Sammy said and smiled.
"Sammy…" I pleaded, trying one more time to get her to listen. "Don't…" She didn't look at me.
"All we need to do now is plan when we want to go." Sammy said. "I think we should go…mmm…tomorrow, Saturday night, after dark. What do you guys think?"
"Sounds good to me." Holly said and everyone else agreed. "That's it!" I thought. "If they want to get themselves killed by some super-natural power then that's their business!! I can't listen to it anymore!!"
"Erg! You're impossible!!" I yelled and marched out of the cafeteria. I went over to my locker (it was just up the hall a ways) and leaned against it.
"No matter what I say, Sammy won't listen to me!!" I thought and crossed my arms. "Who cares what happened to her?! Who cares if she gets herself killed?!" I thought about that for a minute. I let my arms drop to my sides. "I care! I care what happens to her! I care if she dies!"
I was still thinking about what it would be like if Sammy was gone when there was a commotion at the door of the cafeteria. Someone yanked to door open and shoved someone out. It was Sammy. I heard someone say something to her, but I couldn't hear what they said, and slam the door shut. Sammy crossed her arms, sighed, and looked over at me. I looked away so that it looked like I hadn't noticed her. She shyly walked over to me.
"Hey…" She said and her beautiful gray-blue eyes pinned mine.
"Hey." I said tightly. I was still kind of mad at her. "Why do you want to go?" I asked. She looked away and didn't answer. I was really starting to get frustrated with her. "Damn it, Sammy you're so stubborn." I said. She looked up at me and searched my face. I let out my breath and stared at her for a minute.
"If you're so set on going…then I'm going with you, just in case." I said. "She doesn't like to be the damsel in distress but I'm going to protect her if I can."
"Oh, no you don't have to really. I can ta-" Before I could think about it, I put a finger to her lips.
"I can't let anything happen to you." I whispered and, without thinking, stroked her cheek with my thumb. Then the bell rang.
"Shoot, I have to go." she said and was gone.
So what do ya think?! : ) Sorry it's so short! I hope to get another chapter out really soon! But until I do…REVIEW!!! I need some more fed-back!! =] I know it's a bit put of character but… I hope you can't see past that…maybe...
And thanks to snowareangeltears-i taggd here, holly347,tanooklezz-xx,andnewgirlintown204for reviewing!! = }
One more thing… Yes I know Casey would probably just go along with what Sammy says but… I think it's kinda cute when he begs!! And it's sorta the base for a funny scene later…
