iTurn Back in Time
Chapter 11 : iSee Rivalry
"No, I mean, I am not used to seeing you like that. It was like you can't—uh, forget it."
"It was like?"
"I said forget it, okay?"
What was Sam trying to tell me back then? It had hit me just now that I was actually missing something.
"So you will be returned to the "beginning" and let time pass. When the time comes for Sam to fulfill what fate has left her, you are going back to your original world and start living normally. There are still things that I haven't told you."
And Travis was driving me crazy. Sometimes he would just pop out from nowhere and then vanish instantly. I don't know if he's still there to help me because he stops me from saving Sam from death. I really wanted him to just knock it off but if it weren't for Carly, I would have blurted out everything to Sam—which was bad. Really bad. Everyone would be disappearing after I ruin all of it. I still wasn't quite sure why everything will be turning out just like that because Travis kept on spilling bits of facts that I am supposed to know. He doesn't tell every single thing to me.
"Freddie, hello?" A hand waved in front of my eyes. It was Carly's.
"Sorry 'bout that."
"Something's bothering you. Tell me." Carly gently placed her hands on her lap and paid more attention to me. She was waiting for an answer.
I shook my head. "Nothing's wrong with me." I raised an eyebrow. Crap, I suck at lying! I even thought I was a good actor before!
"If you're not going to tell me," Carly put a spoonful of food in her mouth and chewed it in before finishing her sentence. "I am going to make you." Her eyes narrowed into slits.
I gulped. "No you can't."
"Yes I can." She smiled evilly. "I will figure it out." She dropped her spoon in her plate and startled Sam who was playing with her pasta since we arrived in the cafeteria.
"See, even Sam's hiding something from me." She grinned.
"NO! I AM NOT HIDING ANYTHING! I PROMISE! CROSS MY HEART!" Sam exclaimed.
"We'll see." Carly stood and picked up her tray and returned the plates to the counter. When she left, Sam went back to spacing out again, resting her chin on her left hand while twisting the noodles on her fork.
"What are you thinking about?" I asked.
Sam sighed. "You."
I dropped my spoon as loud as Carly's. "Puckett…"
Sam rolled her eyes. "And you believed me." She munched on her pasta and finished it after five minutes. I was staring at her and I didn't realize Carly had already gone back to her seat until I heard her giggle beside her best friend.
"What?" Sam sounded disgusted.
"Nothing. I just can't stop thinking that you're actually in love with each other." She laughed.
"Eeew!" Sam and I said in unison.
"Hey, can I join in?"
Our heads turned to the lady in a purple short dress. She was wearing her hair in a high ponytail, her face covered in make up, evidently seen in her glossy lips. "Hi sis."
"I thought you're not sitting with losers?" Sam pointed her silver fork at her twin.
Melanie sat beside me, brushing her hair to her back with her fingernails. "Actually I just thought of making you as popular as me."
"You are?" Carly faked a laugh. "I didn't know that."
"Now you know, bitch." Melanie smiled.
"Oh, I'm scared!" Carly rolled her eyes.
I looked at the two girls bickering. "Hey Carls, chill she's just—"
"No Freddie. Melanie is declaring war." Sam stood up and leaned forward to Melanie. "Back off."
I was speechless. How brave these girls could be? I have no idea.
Melanie smirked. "Yes, I am declaring war. And I will have you raise your white flag at the end of the day."
"C'mon guys, let's go." Sam grabbed her backpack and went on without waiting for Carly nor me. I saw Carly give Melanie a just-die look and left the table silently. Melanie smiled at me.
They're giving me the creeps.
When I entered English class with Sam and Carly and sat with our usual places, Carly opened up the discussion.
"Sam, are you sure she's your sister! She's totally—"
"Different." Sam finished. "I know. And my mom prefers her rather than me. When Melanie moved in Seattle and went to stay with us in the house, my mom was really happy to see her. She asked why Melanie went home and she answered with a 'Because I want to stay with my dear sister.'" Sam mimicked Melanie's high-pitched voice as she talked. "I knew she was a total bitch and I hate her for that! I didn't have any clue why she turned to a whore when we both grew up in the same house when we're kids! I want her out of my life this instant!" Sam's nose flared in anger. Her hands clenched into fists and hit the wooden desk in front of her. "I swear Carly, I'll do anything just to make her out of my life, I SWEAR!"
"Chillax. I'll think of a plan to sabotage her." Carly patted Sam in the back. "Girl power." She showed a cheerful smiled.
"Um, would you mind to let me in the conversation? I'm the only guy here." I protested.
The two girls glared at me.
"Okay."
Mrs. Evans came in. Carly and Sam dropped the conversation and sat down properly in their seats. Everybody fell silent when they saw a new kid enter the room with our professor. All girls held their breaths including the two girls I sat beside with. Sam bit her lip and Carly glanced at her. It was as if they were trying to do telepathy on their own. Carly broke the silence with a "Oh man he's hot."
I stared at the transferee. He's not that cool but I admit he's quite good looking. I glanced at Sam and saw her going head over heels with the guy.
What's wrong with Earth? Has hell frozen over?
I looked at the new student carefully. Nothing special. Just the average nerd you see in your daily life. He had jet-black hair, jade eyes and a pale face. His eyeglasses were sliding down to his nose. He was tall, about 5"7 I think. His garments looked expensive as they were worn neatly on his body. I bet Carly has already fallen in love with him. But I won't let Sam.
"I want him." Sam grinned.
Oh no. I have to stop her!
"Sam, what's cool with the geek over there? He's just—"
"Shut up Benson. He's way too handsome compared to you."
I felt a huge block of stone fell on me. Ouch.
I glared at glasses-boy (yes that's my nickname for him, stupid nerd). Feel my wrath!
"OH MY GOSH! ARE YOU KRISTOFF CARTER!" A girl suddenly burst out in the tense atmosphere. All heads turned from her to this Kristoff and everyone (well except for me) waited patiently for his answer.
"Yeah."
The girl fainted. What the hell?
The glasses-boy caught my eye. I immediately looked away when he looked at me. At the corner of my eye, I saw him walk towards my seat and when I checked if he was beside me, I saw the black haired boy smiling at me. There was a huge smile across his face.
"I'm going to beat you, Benson." He smirked.
What's wrong with this guy?
