A/N: I'm SOOOOOOOOOO sorry! I'm a terrible person! :( But here's a small update! I promise I'll try to update more often and make longer chapters! Also just to let you know what kept me away: computer crash & really good books x] If you like weird urban fantasy type books you should check out the Mortal Instruments trilogy, and/or Vampire Academy. Both are uber amazing. Anyway enough jibberjabber here's a long awaited update!

Sam stomped up to her room and slammed the door. Violette was really getting on her last nerve. Dinner was alright until she opened her stupid, unintelligent mouth again.

"So Gabe, Sam has her homecoming coming up. You should take her," Violette suggested—more like commanded—to Gabe, giving Sam a wink. She glared at her but Violette just smiled sweetly. "Wouldn't that be fun Sam?"

"Super, I'm having trouble containing my excitement just thinking about it," she said trying to keep the sarcasm out of her voice, luckily Gabe didn't notice he smiled at her like the cute little naïve man he is. Honestly, Sam was never planning on going to the dance. But now that Violette brought it up she knew that if she were to go she'd want to go with Jake, even if she had to hog tie him and drag him to the dance, which she wouldn't.

"What do you think Sam? May I take you to the dance?" Gabe asked sweetly. Everyone around the dinner table stared at her expectantly; she fumbled with her fork and looked to her dad, who was the only one not paying any attention.

"As long as it's ok with my dad, then sure why not." Ha, she just got herself out of this easily.

"Sure fine by me," Wyatt shrugged before putting a mouthful of potatoes in his mouth.

"Sorry Ga—wait what?"

"Oh Sam! We are going to have to go shopping! Violette honey won't you come with us?" Gram asked excitedly ignoring Sam's incredulous stare. Gabe continued smiling but turned his attention back to his food; Kenny smiled too, except his smile scared Sam. Jake was going to be pissed.

With an aggravated sigh Sam grabbed her pajamas and headed for the bathroom, she could really use a bubble bath. She opened the door and ran into Jen. Surprised to see her here she glanced back at the clock then at Jen again, what was she doing here?

"Where have you been?" She asked, a spark of anger flashing through her eyes.

"I was—oh," Sam dropped her gaze feeling guilty; she was suppose to meet up with Jen and blew her off…well sort of. "Why didn't you call?"

"Because I decided to take Silly out anyway so I thought I'd drop by and make you feel bad."

"It's working; does that mean you forgive me?"

Jen rolled her eyes, her tensed and angry look dissolving. "Not quite yet. I want to know what was so important it'd make you forget your best friend."

Sam flushed as she smiled pulling Jen into her room and shutting the door behind them. Jen sat on the bed and motioned for Sam to go on. "It is a school night so technically I should be home by now, so hurry along."

Sam's grin widened as Jen's eyes popped. "I saw a limo! No duh! Gabe was here wasn't he? No wonder! No offense but I'd blow you off to if the gorgeous hunk of meat was at my house…" Jen trailed off as Sam scrunched her eyebrows together.

"Well no not really."

"He wasn't here? Darn."

"No, no…he was but that's not what kept me."

"Sam I don't have time to play twenty questions to figure this out, if it wasn't Gabe then…?"

"Well I talked to Jake," Sam smiled again.

Jen groaned. "Man I was hoping he was gone for good. Now I'm going to have to take him out for good. I'll just hire my cousin—oh my God!" Jen smacked her forehead and jumped up beside a blushing Sam. "You guys talked like talked-talked about…" Jen mimicked a make out scene with her hand, which was slightly disturbing.

"Jen! We did not…ok well yeah we did a little."

Jen squeaked and hugged Sam. When she pulled away though she was frowning.

"What?" Sam asked.

"I guess this means I can't get him whacked?"

Sam laughed and shoved her friend towards the door following her out. Jen smiled.

"You know you owe me right?"

"Yeah."

"I would say you have to do my homework for a month but…" Jen laughed as her friend punched her in the shoulder. They hopped down the porch steps together; Sam frowned at the dark sky.

"Jen are you going to the homecoming dance?"

"What now that you have a boy toy dances aren't stupid?" Jen teased but noticed Sam's troubled look. "Sorry Jake's not a boy toy—"

"No it's not that. I probably couldn't even get Jake to come to the dance with me if I tried."

"There's still the option of hiring my cousin….wait are you going?"

Sam rubbed her forehead where an ever growing headache began pounding. "Gabe asked me to go with him."

"And you said yes?"

"I had too! He asked in front of everyone! And my dad said he was ok with it…Jake's going to be pissed." Sam exclaimed exasperated spooking Silly a little. Jen calmed her mare and Sam smiled apologetically.

"I don't know. Maybe it will be alright since it saves him from having to go…then again it is Gabe so he'll probably be extremely jealous."

"Maybe I'll just tell him that Violette pressured him into it, it's not a total lie."

Jen gave her a meaningful look making Sam's shoulders sag. "I'm not like the love guru or anything but I'm pretty sure lying to your other half isn't a good idea especially when you haven't even been together for twenty-four hours yet."

"But it's partially true," Sam protested weakly even though she knew Jen was right. "Besides we never established whether we were…'together'"

"Oh great, so you guys just made out for the fun of it," Jen rolled her eyes and mounted Silly. "Sam, me and Jake may not be best buddies but I can tell you this. He's not interested in anyone else. I'll catch you later tomorrow." She kicked Silly and called back over her shoulder. "Don't forget to do your homework!"

Sam rolled her eyes. "Thanks mom," she muttered before heading back into the house.

Am I the only one who thinks Violette is extremely annoying? Review!
