There are few things in the entire world that a human being could do to Kitty Wilde that would completely send her spiraling into an oblivion basically making her feel the same way she has made others feel in the past. Being used, cheating, being a beard for someone once; she shields herself as a class A bitch just so she can get by in high school. Her first boyfriend turned out to be gay, her second cheated on her even though he didn't care about Kitty, and her arm candy she used to have didn't really count to her, at least not anymore since she began dating Sam. Her track record doesn't really speaks so well for itself for the short blonde even though all she really wanted was to love and be loved back underneath.
That's why Sam hurt the most for her out of everyone else she has dated. She loved him and he apparently loved her back though, who tells their girlfriend that they cheated on them with their ex-girlfriend the SAME night they claimed to have loved them? It made no sense but it didn't really matter to Kitty anymore because it was over. The best relationship she had ever been in had to end in the worst way it could have and she was once again hurt in the end.
Torn from it, Kitty spend the next few days and nights laying in her bed with the TV blaring on her stand just to have some background noise to help her cope with being alone. She kept away from her phone most of the time and dreaded to even check her Facebook not wanting to go through the pain of changing her relationship status for the time being. Kitty didn't want to think about what would happen when school would come back into session.
But Kitty knew she had to be strong again once she went back to school. She couldn't let any of her weaknesses be shown or else she'll fall off the popular pyramid and tumble towards the loser side of the school.
Loser. That word stuck in Kitty's mind like glue. Her own little nickname she used for Sam when she really didn't mean it. She thought it was cute and fit him better than Trouty Mouth. She wanted to be over him already but Sam was different to her than anyone else. The vibe was different, the thoughts she'd think with him, feelings about him. It wasn't like her to overthink about somebody like this in fact, this was the first time ever.
As it stood though, both Sam and Kitty didn't stray too far away from their feelings for each other. When the ball began to drop signaling the New Year while they were home to celebrate, Sam had a picture of Kitty pulled up on his phone while Kitty did the same with a picture of Sam on her phone. Their lips touched to their screens on one another for their New Years kiss. But it was a new year for both of them, they wanted it to change for the better.
The school year returns at McKinley High a few days after leading into the New Year of 2013 and it already feels like half of the school year is coming to an end for the seniors. Only six more months and they would be home free heading off to college, military, work force, all the opportunities the school counselors think are the only possibilities.
Sam arrives at the building on the returning only wishing he considered staying home for the next few weeks. He didn't know what to expect coming here if he saw Kitty or he she had told everyone what he had done. But it was his time to change from what he'd become which is what he wish never had happened. One way or another he had to face her again. Walking down the halls trying to make it so he was okay when he makes it to his locker and then he hears it hit.
SSPPLLSSHHHH!
Oh no.
He knew what that sound was and he knew what it meant. The same sound that he heard before he met Quinn Fabray and the same sound made when he first laid eyes on Kitty. Someone just got a slushy facial. 'Courtesy of Kitty Wilde!' One of the jocks said. 'Yeah, hope we didn't get any slushy into your blowhole!' Both jocks ran away laughing while Marley Rose was Van Gogh'd in a red slushy shower and stood frozen in the hallway, dripping wet with tears in her eyes but with all the cold red drink on her, no one can really tell.
Sam stopped messing with his lock for his locker and started to head in her direction while Jake appeared and made sure the jocks were out of his sight so he couldn't pound their faces in severely. He wiped away the blobs of red ice off her face and could tell that she was in tears which infuriated Jake even more knowing it wouldn't have happened if he was there.
'Hey. Marley, are you ok-' Sam gets out only a few words before Jake grabs him by the collar of his shirt and throws him up against a locker trying to act as angrily calm as possible, if possible. And if it wasn't enough trouble on first day already a small crowd formed on both sides of the hallways wanting to see what will transpire on their first day back.
'You're kidding me right now, right? Give me one reason, just one, why I shouldn't do to you what I should be doing to those pricks that did this to Marley. You think it's funny that your girlfriend can treat my girlfriend like shit and we don't do anything back?'
'Because I'm not dating her anymore, dude. Now lay off.' Sam replies while shoving Jake off of him only to have him come back to him face to face.
'Whether you are dating Kitty or not, she better stay the hell away from Marley so you or those other assholes, either or, deliver that message to her. Got it?'
'I said lay off, Puckerman!' With a strong push back, Sam sends Jake across the width of the hallway in the set of lockers parallel to him. Marley watches on between them but is shivering cold having to head to the girls' restroom but not until everything is resolved. 'Jake, Sam. Stop it!'
After recovering from slamming his back and head into the lockers Jake is about to full on tackle Sam into the lockers he is still up against. The crowd around them has increased drastically in sizes on both sides of the hallway; kids pulling out their phones and cameras to take video of a fight they hope to see.
Jake and Sam begin to mobilize towards each other not giving a damn if they're on video or if they get suspended for fighting. Sam could care less anyway which means he would get to stay home and away from all of his problems there. One person from each side of the hallway breaks through the crowd to intervene and gets between both of the angry bunch. Blaine holds Sam back while the other familiar kid sort of resembling the teen sensation Justin Bieber with his hair held back Jake.
'Sam! Sam.' He tries to get past Blaine but the hair gelled former Warbler won't allow him to do so. 'Just stop. He's not worth it, alright?' He knows Blaine is right so he tries to calm himself down so he doesn't completely snap. His composure soon returns to him to be calm along with Jake on the other side. That is, until she appears through the crowd to walk up to Jake and the new guy.
'I wouldn't get involved, Ryder. Guppy Face and the illegitimate son of the so called 'President' Barack Obama can touch and pose for each other all they want. We don't need to get involved because someone might end up hurt in the end.' Kitty smirks Marley's way who's still in frozen shock from what's happening in front of her. Her gaze then meets Sam's and suddenly the mood changes inside of her. The same feelings and warmth to what Marley thinks is an ice hold heart shaped box that she felt with him not even two weeks ago rush to her, blinding her in the slightest.
'Ryder, walk me to class?' She asks to him while eying down Sam but finally decides it's enough and she looks away from him. Blaine steals a few seconds to look at both of them and realizes Sam must have told her everything by the way they look at one another as if their hearts shattered all over again.
Ryder Lynn gets Jake to stray away from walking in their direction of them. Jake puts everything aside and leads him and Marley in the other direction so he can get her cleaned up in the bathroom for the day. 'Yeah, sure.' Ryder walks over to Kitty who glances from the ground to look at her ex-boyfriend shortly once more before she's had enough and walks away, automatically clearing a path for herself through the remaining students watching.
Blaine watches them walk away and catches Sam staring towards the ground knowing he is still suffering from what he had to do to make things right. He follows after him when Sam starts to walk away and goes into an empty classroom knowing Blaine is still behind him. He knows he wants to talk and it'd be for the best to help calm a bit.
'I'm guessing you told her everything, right?' Sam finds a chair to sit in and brush his hair back a few times while his face still feels shades of red to it. He nods into answering Blaine's question in which he sighs to. 'Well, what now then? I mean, just because I taught you how to box doesn't mean you should be fighting. You should hit the gym and take out your stress and anger after school with me.'
He chuckles at the offer even knowing that's what Blaine first did when they almost got into a scuffle once in Glee Club. But Sam has other plans for the rest of the day, something he has to do in order to first start setting things straight in his life again. 'I'll take a raincheck on that, Blaine.' He takes in deep breath after deep breath helping him become almost calm, at least toning down the color of his face back to normal.
'I'm going to New Haven today after school.'
'New Haven, Connecticut?' Blaine takes a moment to himself to think for a second before adding to his reply. 'Isn't that where...Yale is?'
'Yep, and that's where Quinn is. It's about time that she knows that I've moved on from her and she needs to move on too. Once I settle things with her, then I'll work on getting Kitty back.'
He nods to him and throws up a smile small because Blaine knows Sam and what he's feeling right now. It's impossible for him not to. They're best friends and no matter that their sexual orientations differ, they feel the same way about the ones that they love.
'You have that look in your eye again.' He begins to say to him. 'You love her, don't you?'
Sam returns the smile in favor of him and nods to get out of his chair and lean on the science counter tables next the former Warbler. 'I do love her. I love Kitty Wilde and I'm going to do whatever it takes to prove to her that I want a second chance.'
The school bell rings reminding everyone that they have nearly 2 minutes before first period begins cutting short of Sam and Blaine's daily conversation with each other. They both enjoy it whether it's before or after school that they have someone to talk to about anything. Blaine has Kurt for that but then again, it's hard to discuss Christmas gifts with your significant other that are FOR your significant other.
'You deserve it if you ask me, Sam. That look in your eye like I mentioned before, Brittany and I have it too. Whenever I'm with Kurt or she's with Santana or merely even talking about them, you just know that they could be the one. At least that's what we feel and that's what I see.' Blaine pushes off the counter table and walks backwards slowly so he can leave for class. 'But listen, text me later tonight and tell me everything that happens with you and Quinn, okay? Best of luck.'
'And once again you prove why the X-Men were such a great team because they talked to each other. Catch you later, Cyclops.' Blaine shakes his head laughing as they air fist pump the air before he exits the classroom. Sam pushes off the counter next but stops when he feels his phone vibrate in his back pocket and looks at the text received.
Quinn: Sam? I hope I'm not pushing boundaries right now but I just wanted to make sure you got what I sent you for Christmas...
Sam: Yeah, I got it. And listen, I'm taking you up on your offer today after school. We need to talk.
Quinn: I know we do, Sam. But hey, I also sent you a train ticket in the mail so you wouldn't have to spend money to come here.
Sam: You didn't have to do that but thank you. I'm late for class right now so I'll see you later.
Quinn: Okay, I'll see you then. Bye for now, Sam. Love you xoxo
Sam looks at the heart at the end of the last text and can only wish his wasn't so badly hurt right now. He hopes it'll recover soon, in fact, after today he knows it will. He shoves his phone back into his pocket and races out of the room to get to his class, which he knows that it isn't important anyway.
Four hour train rides are nothing to Sam seeing how he's moved from area to area with greater distances and longer hours than these. It was a good time to catch up on his sleep, though. He's had close to 6 hours of sleep in the past three days due to not being able to get his mind off of Kitty. Trying to shield his emotions by playing video games and trying not to think about her wasn't working on his end.
New Haven actually seemed more of a calmer place than Lima, Ohio was when the train ride came to an end. It was peaceful, content, and calm. Sam exited the train and looked down at his directions he printed from Google Maps to find the easiest route to Yale from the train station. Close to 15 minutes later, he reaches the tall structure buildings known as Yale University and takes a moment to browse over it with his eyes.
It was quite the look-see if he could be honest, like something out of a movie. The buildings were superior to one another while the whole texture and look to it had the feel of some castle Sam saw in a vampire movie once. He pulled out his phone a few minutes later so he could let Quinn know he was here and took a seat on a nearby bench.
Sam: Hey I'm here. I'm sitting on a bench somewhere outside the university.
A few more minutes pass by before his phone vibrates and he focuses his attention to his phone rather than the kids hanging around the campus grounds.
Quinn: I'm in my dorm room. Walk inside and I'll come meet you.
As instructed to, Sam gets up from the bench and stuff his phone back into his pockets to make way for the inside of the university. He's impressed to say the least by the way everything is. It's been living up to the hype that he's heard from Quinn and a few of the adults, including teachers and guidance counselors, at McKinley.
Turning a few corners and read a few of the flyers and signs, he finds himself in the section of dorm rooms. And sure enough, there she was. Quinn was walking towards him from the other side of the hallway across from him. Her blonde hair sifting through the air as she walks which has gotten a bit longer since he's last seen her, just about to her shoulders now. The encounter should feel awkward between them but it isn't, even though the last time they saw each other she was over Puck's shoulder screaming nonsense and insults towards Kitty.
'Hey Sam.' She approaches him with a few short seconds of a hug. He hugs her back since there's really no harm that could be done anymore. 'I'm really glad you came here, it means a lot.'
'Yeah well, I didn't really have much of a choice plus I needed to talk with you as well. Thanks for the ticket again by the way because I'd be close to broke if I bought it to come here and to go back.'
'It's no problem really, Sam. Here, let's go back to my room so we can talk. It'll be less noisy there since classes just ended and everyone's rushing around.' He nods and they walk through a few crowds of people taking up half the space of the halls. Everyone seems to be heading for the lounge to relax for a bit and get something refreshing to drink.
As they reach her room Sam looks around at how spacious and expensive looking it is while Quinn shuts the door behind them for their own privacy. Seriously, it looks like their dorm rooms could pass off as mini apartment rooms if they wanted to. Her bed was neatly made with a table of a few pictures on it of her entire family including her with her parents and sister Charlie, one of her with Puck with a smaller picture of Rachel attached to it; Rachel of course making sure Quinn had one of her to look at from time to time. And one picture Sam remembers taking of the both of them together nice and completely framed. Let's also not forget the Cheerios photo with coach Sue alongside Brittany and Santana completing the Unholy Trinity.
'I just can't let go of the memories and people I loved at McKinley, you know?' Quinn speaks out seeing Sam take notice of her photos. 'I miss everyone so much every day, even Rachel too believe it or not. You're all like family to me; the whole Glee Club was. And I love every chance I get to go back and visit.'
'Even if that meant interfering with my relationships, Quinn?' He doesn't feel the need to be subtle and beat around the bush with her. But even the suddenness of it deflates the smile Quinn had slightly.
'I can explain Sam and I will. Right now.' She treks past him slowly over to her bed frame and grips her hands around it while she looks out the window. She takes a deep breath before turning to face him not wanting to look at other students laughing in the grass.
'I never had any intentions of doing what I did when I first visited. It was at the Homecoming game when I saw you flirting with that Kitty girl and this is what I saw. Sam Evans is flirting with a blonde Head Cheerio who won that game for her showing his faithfulness he once provided for a former blonde Head Cheerio. I got the hint that maybe you missed me, actually, missed us and was just using her to fill that void.' When he really thinks about it, he really doesn't blame her as much as he did since he sees what she's saying to him.
'Look Quinn, I'm sorry that I made you think that what I saw in her reflected the past you and I share even though it was indirectly reflected.' He begins to say walking towards her knowing that things don't look too good anymore. 'But what I feel for Kitty has nothing to do with what-'
'Please don't tell me that.' She cuts him off so she can spare the lie that she feels Sam is trying to slip onto her. She doesn't want to hear that. All she wants to hear is him telling her that she loves him and finally wants her back. 'I know you still love me. You wouldn't have kissed me that night if you didn't. Tell me right now...' She was surprised she made it this far until that moment where her eyes started to fill up with tears. 'Please tell me you still do.'
Sam takes her hands into his which she holds onto tightly because they were freezing cold compared to his. He had no problem with warming them up while he sat her down on her bed and took the empty spot next to her, but it almost wasn't enough for her. Quinn wanted to hear from him what she wanted to hear.
'Remember our first date Quinn, the one we went on at Breadstix with the free meal pass but you made me pay?' That memory makes her giggle softly through her tears because she remembers the dorkiness Sam showed her with his impression of Matthew McConaughey but it was their first date that began her best relationship. 'How could I ever forget, Sam?'
'I told you that I would never judge you. Everyone seemed to be doing it when you were pregnant, on and off with the Cheerios, and then seeing me before I joined the football team. I'm still true to that even after everything that happened because I don't blame you more than I blame myself, alright?' Her head nods slowly up and down still reminiscing through the memory of that one date. 'I'm not mad at you, actually I don't think I have it in me to be mad at you ever. But I kissed you and...I shouldn't have. I love Kitty and because of it, I had to tell her about it and she broke up with me. It was a mistake Quinn.'
Quinn is slowly sobbing to him trying to keep her strength up to not break down crying. The truth was coming out and it's not what she wanted to hear, it's not what she planned to hear but in her heart she knew he was right. But it was partially her fault for making Sam kiss her and for that it ruined things between him and Kitty.
He pulled her close to his chest and hugged her tightly. It wasn't easy for to admit everything to her like this. He always hated seeing Quinn cry in front of him; it was a weakness for any girl to cry in front of him but with Quinn it was different. 'I will always love you, Quinn. And I will always care about you, never forget that. But I needed to do this and set things right because I love Kitty and it just hurts the three of us to keep this whole thing going.' A whimper escapes from Quinn into his chest followed by sniffles. 'No matter what we'll always be here for each other, okay? I promise you that.'
Pulling back a bit away with tears in her eyes and down her cheeks, Quinn props her head up until he eyes reach Sam and she pulls up to kiss him softly. She understands that Sam has moved on from their relationship; from her cheating on him and him cheating on Kitty with her. It was the last time she could probably ever kiss him again and she took advantage of it. Sam did not pull away either because he knew what she was thinking and all he wanted was for her to be happy, truly happy.
'I'm sor-' She begins to say after a few seconds from releasing their lips from one another but Sam stops her from going on any further with her sentence.
'Don't, it's okay.' He flashes her a smile that wishes she could avoid from smiling back but it fails. 'There's just, uh, one more thing that I think you should have before I have to get going because it'll be dark by the time I get back home.' Quinn laughs softly at him and brushes the tears present on her face with the right sleeve of her sweater jacket. By the time she's done, her left hand is raised up from the bed and she feels something slip onto her finger. The promise ring.
'To always remind you of me.' He starts to say before he kisses her hand and places it back down to the bed. 'To always remind you of us and the good times we had with each other. To every song I dedicated to you in Glee Club. And to always remind you that I'll always love you and see you as first girl I ever loved. Nothing will ever change between us Quinn whether if we're friends or best friends or whatever we are. A promise of remembrance we'll always share with each other.'
That teary-face but gorgeous white smile on Quinn's face assures Sam that she fully understands what he's saying. It hurts her to figure out that he is serious about being with Kitty and not her anymore but it's better to know that Sam and herself won't be torn apart from each other by anything that happens between them He will always be there for her and she will always be there for him. That's all that really matters to her now.
'Thank you, Sam.' She says softly to him and pulls him back in for a hug where they both smile into each other. 'I was a lucky girl to have you before went and ruined everything.' She says before pulling away and tucking a few strands of her hair behind her eat. 'But now Kitty is the lucky girl and I have no right to interfere with love itself any more than I already have. I won't be a nuisance with you or your relationships from here on out, I promise you that.'
'I'll hold you to that.' He points to her with a chuckle and stands up from the bed and looks out the window noticing the sun is merely in its stage of slowly dying down from the sky. 'Come on, walk with me back to the station so I don't have to do it alone.' She smiles and bites her bottom lip before getting up and linking their arms together as they exit the the dorm room.
As they reach the train station they find it hard to leave one another knowing that they've grown closer to each other stronger than before for the better. They hug tightly wrapping their arms around each other and stand there for 7 long minutes doing so. Quinn is happy again and all that's left to do is for Sam to get his second chance with Kitty to fully believe that he'll be happy himself.
'I love you, Sam.'
'I love you too, Quinn.'
They finally release their hold from one another and Sam slowly walks backwards not wanting to miss a second of Quinn smiling, smiling because she loves him more than anyone she has before but realizes she doesn't need to be with him in order to tell herself that.
'Make sure you visit again soon or I'll else I'll have to come back here and impression you to death!' Sam says making Quinn giggle at him and wave goodbye.
'Don't worry, I'll be back in Lima soon. And when I am, you better not without that Cheerio by your side. Is that clear, Sam?'
'Crystal clear, Quinn. See you soon!' He shouts before backing his way into the train.
'Soon. Goodbye!' The train doors shut and they wave their goodbyes to each other until next time. Sam takes his seat and leans his head against the window to sleep for the next four hours until the train reaches home in Lima.
That Friday, Sam is already happy to be back at to school. He took yesterday off so he could go with his sibling's to their doctor's appointments; he figured being there would make it seem less scary than it really was. He and Quinn texted the entire day, even Sam called her so Stace and Steve could speak to her again and tell each other how much they missed one another.
It was an easy day for the most part. Jake wasn't on his ass about the whole slushy ordeal that went down two days before since the jocks who did it were suspended for five days. He had updated Blaine on what happened on Wednesday who was skeptical about it at first but saw that Sam was really happy so he accepted it.
The final bell for the day rang and everyone rushed out to go home except for those in the Glee Club. Sam walked in the choir room for the first time in the new year and took a seat amongst everyone else who had wondered where he'd been the whole week. A few minutes later, Kitty and Ryder walked in and sat down with each other and Kitty saw that Sam was back but rolled her eyes in doing so.
'Sam Evans!' Mr. Schue called out to him after he had walked in and set down his bag for the next hour or so. 'Welcome back to the Glee Club, finally. You missed two days this week, you know.'
'Yeah I know and I'm sorry. I had a few things to take care of.' He wants to look up at Kitty and see if she's listening but can quietly hear her whisper an insult towards Joe Hart's way about his tarantula head.
'It's quite alright, Sam. But if you look at the board right now, you'll see this week's assignment that you have to do right now.' Sam looks up to the board but wishing he hadn't: New Years Duets. 'Let's see. Blaine and Tina went on Wednesday along with Jake and Marley. Yesterday it was Artie and Brittany followed by Kitty and our newest member, Ryder Lynn.' Sam looks around to see who already went until Mr. Schue starts talking again. 'Looks like today we'll end off with you and...Sugar Motta.'
'Huh?' Sugar looks up from her phone to Mr. Schue and then to Sam. Kitty rolls her eyes at her stupidity to hearing and continues listening to Ryder talk to Jake while she glanced over to Sam.
Sugar turned her head quickly and eyed Sam up and down and smirked his way along with a wink. 'Come on Sammy, let's show them what we got.' She got up along with Sam who whispered a song into his ear to sing. It was one the radio once overplayed like they do every song so he knew it. Sugar's voice was a bit off key but improved majorly since she first joined the Glee Club as she sang Hayley Williams' intro to the song Airplanes. A few moments later, Sam busted out his inner rap/hip hop self and carried on with the rest of the song. At her her big finish, Sugar pulled Brittany up from her chair to help her dance her way through the outro.
Everyone but a certain blonde Cheerio clapped and cheered on for the two, or three counting Brittany, for their performance. 'He is such a great singer! Or rapper. Or both.' Sugar shrugged and leaned up to kiss Sam on his cheek which then got Kitty's attention wanting to slap Sugar across the face. Instead she turned away when they went to sit down and finish the rest of the day up.
After the Glee Club was over, Kitty rushed down the choir room steps and towards the door. Jake and Ryder seem to be pretty good friends which is why she felt ignored by Ryder. Sam notices her leaving and quickly says goodbye to Blaine and return a hug he received from Sugar. 'Who knew someone with huge lips could be so cute.' She whispered to Blaine.
Sam followed Kitty up until she reached her locker where she finally noticed him behind her. They stared into each other's eyes as if the hadn't seen or talked to each other in forever. She broke the gaze and continued on with opening her locker. 'Congrats on you and Chipmunk Face on your duet, very impressed. Ryder and I were better though as always since I'm the voice of that Glee Club now and his Bieber looks shine away your old one, sort of.'
'Is that Ryder guy...your new boyfriend or something?' Sam asks walking closer to her but keeps a distance to lean against the other lockers down from hers. He hopes he isn't, hopes that Kitty hasn't moved on THIS quick from what they had.
'I don't think that's any of your business Sam.' She swallows a small lump in her throat and forces herself to look at him. Him. 'He's the new guy here and needs a little arm candy to help boost him up.' He nods to her while placing his gaze to the floor in little relief she's still single.
'I see.' He says to her. 'Listen I have to tell you something and since I know Cheerios practice starts soon for you I'll make it quick.'
She sighs and places her binder into her locker and checks her make up in the mirror making sure she looks better and cuter than the rest of the Cheerios since she's Head Cheerio, of course. 'Go on with it then.' He brushes his hair back and takes a step closer to her so she'll hear him and not ignore him like she used to before they used to date.
'The reason I wasn't here on Wednesday after school was because I went to New Haven after seventh period ended. And I went there to see Quinn.' Kitty stops fumbling around with her makeup and looks up at the 'What Would Quinn Fabray Do?' sign in her locker almost glaring at it. 'It's not what you may think though. I needed to talk to her about everything she's been doing and what I did and everything.' He took in a deep breath before continuing on. 'It's not her fault, okay? It's mine. I just wanted to let you know that me and her, what we had, is in the past.'
'That's nice to know but what does have to do with me? You cheated on me with her and you broke my trust, Sam. That's what I thought we had and didn't have to worry about with you; TRUST.' She closes her locker and spins the dial a few times before looking back to him.
Sam takes one more step towards her where he is mere inches away from the short blonde Cheerio. He nods while brushing his hair back knowing it wouldn't be easy with Kitty. It wasn't enough to clear everything up between the two of them and he knew that.
'I know, Kitty. But I just wanted you to know that I'm not giving up on you, on us. I respect that you want some space away from me and I'll give it to you. I also just want to tell you that I'm sorry again, and that I hope to get a second chance from you soon.'
Before Kitty could respond to him, Ryder walked up from behind Sam and looked at both of them with a smile before turning his attention to Kitty. 'Hey, sorry about that. Jake and I were just talking about how the NHL lockout was over and who we wanted to face off at the Superbowl this year.' He looked over to Sam and nodded also giving him a pat on the back. 'Dude, you killed that duet before. Nice job, man!'
Sam nodded back to him. 'Thanks, I'm sure you two did amazing as well.' Kitty barely paid attention to Ryder as she busy processing what Sam was saying beforehand to her about second chances. She didn't know if she wanted to give him one or not, but she's impressed and happy that she's receiving space from him.
'Um, I'm late for Cheerios practice and I'm sure as hell not going to lose my Head Cheerio position back to Brittany because of you two.' She glares at both of them before taking a few steps away from both of them. 'Coming, Wonder Bieber?' Sam wasn't sure if she was talking to him or Ryder until Ryder walked off towards her. Before they left Sam alone, Kitty walked back over to Sam and leaned up near inches away from his face.
'We'll talk soon, promise.' She whispered to him. Sam smiled to himself watching her walk off and away from Ryder who had a stupid smile on his face probably still about his whole conversation with Jake.
All he knew was that the look Kitty gave him before she left was that she was considering it. She was considering giving him a second chance and that's all he knew he could get right now but he's taking it. Because that's what he has to do to get that second chance, gain her trust back into him.
