I'll be honest, originally I was going to get rid of Sam. Sam was my favorite but I felt more like it should move on to the Faxy side. But since I'm nice, and I care about all of you. I chose not to. And because I'd never forgive myself.
"No, not quite." I said to Sam.
"What do you mean?" He asked as we walked away from the prank scene.
"I didn't say we were going out. I just said I'd go on a date with you. Not that I'd date you." I stopped, explaining to him.
"But- That took two weeks of practice!" He argued.
"And I'm proud of you!" I laughed, "But that doesn't change anything."
"So... You're saying that even if my bro, Fang, asked you out on a date too you'd go?" Sam asked.
"First off, you've been 'bros' for a week. Second of all, why the hell shouldn't I?" I laughed.
We walked on to third block, I had Calculus and Dillian had drama.
As I walked into Calculus I took my seat next to Fang, as always.
He leaned over and passed me a note.
Hey!
Hii, I passed back.
So theres been something on my mind... He passed to me. I looked up as the door open and I was in the middle of writing my response. Sam walked in carrying his books.
"Hi. ?" Sam asked, the teacher nodded his head, "I was just transferred into this class."
Mr. Tenal nodded his head to an empty seat in front of me.
After Mr. Tenal went back to teaching I resumed writing back to Fang.
Whats that? I asked.
As Fang began to pass the note back to me Mr. Tenal saw it and took it up, before I could read it.
Mr. Tenal began to read it aloud, much to Fang's dismay.
"'So theres been something on my mind' Mr. Fang. I ask you learn how to properly use the there is conjunction. You must use an apostrophe... Continuing... 'Whats that?'..." Mr. Tenal paused, "'Would you like to go out with me?'"
A couple students giggled and one raised their hand while Sam sat in shock.
"Yes Ms. Radule?" Mr. Tenal called on the girl whose hand was raised.
"Should we tell Mrs. Tenal about your relationship with Ms. Ride?" Giggled the student.
Mr. Tenal looked baffled, "Why, I would never- That was obviously a message from Mr. Fang to Ms. Maximum!
"So Ms. Ride..." Mr. Tenal urged, "What do you say?"
I laughed and nodded, "Sure!"
(A/N: So now we're going to have fun :3. I'm going to write each date I want you guys to review which date you liked better in the comments.)
I felt guilty, but at the same time, I was actually ecstatic to go on a date with both boys... Maybe this will get me out of this love triangle that I am so sick of.
First I was going on a date with Fang then Sam the next night.
The entire time I was getting ready Nudge and Ella banged on my door, trying to convince me to let them help. I decided I could do it for a change.
(A/N: Outfit posted on my profile as always)
I heard my phone go off and I walked down stairs to get my purse then pulled it out.
"Hello?" I picked up.
"I'm outside of your door." Fang laughed. He laughed. Fang.
"See you soon!" I smiled and walked out the door.
He opened the driver side on his car and held out his hands motioning for me to go in.
"I'm driving?" I asked, confused, not trying to be sexist but the male always steals the seat.
"You told me a while back that you'd rather yourself drive." Fang smiled.
I laughed and jumped in.
"So where are we going?" It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon and snowing.
"Let's just go to the mall!" Fang chuckled. It was weird seeing him smiling so much.
I shifted into gear and drove off to the mall. When we got there we explored stores. Fang's favorite was Hot Topic. At first I was a little terrified but then I began to enjoy it. We were walking through out it when I walked to the back and was eyeing a bra and under wear set while Fang was across the room, hoping he wouldn't see. I began to check out the sizes.
"Something you like?" Fang collapsed laughing.
My cheeks deepened in colour, "No... Just..."
"Just-?" Fang asked.
I shoved him and said, "Something I thought you'd like to wear!"
"Not quite my style, too feminine, but probably yours!" Fang nudged me.
"You wish I would wear that don't you?" I waggled my eyebrows at him.
He raised on eyebrow and gave me the hottest look imaginable, "Maybe!"
I laughed and we walked out of the store, carrying on. At one point we stopped at the food station and got some ice cream which we shared. We kind of went all mooshy and turned it almost into a movie like scenario.
As we walked we talked and laughed.
"So... When did you start liking me?" I had to ask.
"To be honest? Fourth grade. When you pushed Pecky Anderson down the tire swing for trying to kiss you."
"Oh my God! I remember that!" I gushed.
"Then the feeling just grew," He smiled at me, "And... About all those times... I have been such a jerk to all of you, its just... I don't know... I thought Sam would hurt you, and I was just in a crazy jealous rage... I felt like he didn't deserve you, and since we've been so close for so long... I thought I should have you... Selfish, huh?"
"Very, but it's alright, when I thought you and Lissa were dating I was pretty pissed myself... Pissed enough to start dressing like this," I motioned to my outfit, "to get your attention.."
"Really?" He laughed harder then ever.
"What is it this time?"
"Just, that I thought you were perfect before you dressed like this, and that you looked too different dressing like that already. I think you look prettier in jeans and a t-shirt. Hell, you could be in sweatpants and just woken up with crazy hair and morning breath and I'd still think you were the most gorgeous girl alive."
"What's that over there?" I said pointing to a photo booth, not trying to change the subject, but ending up doing so.
"A photo booth!" He gave me a confused glance.
I threw the rest of our ice cream away and ran into the booth. Gliding into the seats.
We started taking pictures.
We had four pictures to take. The first we just smiled. The second we were silly. The third he had turned to look at me and I sat confused. During the fourth he turned around and kissed me, putting his hands briefly around my waist as mine came around his neck. Slowly I remembered theres a video outside the photo booth and shows whats going on in the booth. I pulled away and began to tell him when I heard our pictures pop out of the slot.
After that we headed home. As soon as I got home I kicked off my heels and ran up the stairs to my room. I stuck the picture on the corner of my mirror and smiled to myself.
The next day started off flying by. I mostly lounged around before getting a text from Sam.
Hey! Were going to Chateau Marmont, so its gonna be kinda fancy!
Alright, I responded, can't wait!
The truth is, I could wait. After that date with Fang... I'm not sure... Something felt wrong about going on a date with Sam. Like I'm cheating on Fang... But were not going out-out right? God, I'm such a whore!
I quickly got dressed, looking at the time and reading the clock as six. (A/N: Of course you can view this one on my profile too!).
I walked down the stairs and Ella heaved a sigh.
"I guess I'm ready to forgive you." She murmured.
"And if I'm not ready to forgive you?" I asked.
"Well, I wasn't the one who told a hormonal teenage girl to follow her heart, when she was thirteen." Ella stabbed.
"Yeah... That ones on me..." I didn't honestly feel as to be blamed for all of this, but apparently Ella thought so.
"Well, that being said, what made you take him back?" I pursued.
"He said you gave him some advice that helped him to realize how much he'd always need me... At first I thought it was bull shit. Then I looked him in the eyes, and I knew he meant it." She smiled. I shoved my hand into her face in a general 'No' manner.
"This is not a Taylor Swift song. This is not a movie." I laughed.
"Speaking of movies, isn't this two dates in a row, but with separate guys?" Ella laughed back, "And this isn't 'Hannah Montana' you can't have 'The Best of Both Worlds'."
I would've highfived her for that statement if it wasn't a personal stab at my pride.
I gave her the bird and pulled out a bowl of cereal.
"Um, aren't you going to eat dinner on your date?" Ella asked.
"Yeah," I said,"but I can't eat too much on my date. I'll look like a pig!"
Ella couldn't help but giggle, "God forbid Sam sees you act like a pig!"
"Shut up!" I responded, and ate my cereal quietly before the door bell rang.
"You put that bowl away! Got to go, love ya!" I ran out the door before she could argue, but as I was shutting the door I heard:
"No! Bitch, come ba- Hi, Mom..."
Sam pulled over in his mom's car. He honked the horn as if to signify for me to get in, which I did.
"Hi," I waved as I slid into the seat and buckled, "New car?"
"Very funny," He said, a little moody.
"Something wrong?" I asked. As we drove down the highway to the restaurant. I had seen him angry in a car before. Hell no is that happening again, or I'll end this relationship. I saw a parking lot and pointed.
"Pull over." I said.
"What? No-Why?" He said, slowing a bit.
"Pull over or I swear I'm jumping out of this car!" I opened the door and the car started beeping at me, but I didn't care, it got Sam's attention enough for him to stop in the parking lot. As he shifted into park he turned to me looking exasperated.
"What?" He frowned.
"What is wrong with you?" I asked.
"Nothing." He glared at the steering wheel. I raised my eyebrows at him.
"Fine..." He mumbled, "It's just... Fang and you... All of my friends say you two make a great couple!"
"So?" I shoved him, "All of my friends say you two make a great couple too!"
He chuckled and we drove to the restaurant peacefully.
When we were seated we had a very good time and enjoyed ourselves. As we were leaving he smiled at me.
"What?" I asked.
"I want to show you something!" He grinned bigger. We got into the car and he drove forward to a small hill. My eyes widened. I realized where he was taking me. He was taking me to what's known as 'Bang Up Station'. I looked over at Sam and he had a lustful look in his eyes.
"Turn the (A/N: This is rated 'T' I can't say that... Um.. Yeah... *CENSORED HERE*) around." I sat, petrified.
"Again?" He looked pissed, "Why?"
"Really? This hill?"
"Yeah, there's a firework display tonight..." He looked hurt.
"Oh..." I blushed, "My bad..."
He looked very confused but kept driving.
As we watched the firework showing at the top of the hill, and we saw so many colours, he turned to me and said, "You know, there's going to be another firework showing tonight..."
And with that, he leaned over and kissed me, and it was just like we used to be. Intertwined together almost as if we were insuperable.
"Max..." He chuckled as we separated.
"What?" I said, chewing on my lip.
"I love you." He grinned at me.
"Sam...I... Why do you say that here?"
"Because there's no better moment. And I know you might not trust me still, but I love you, and I want you to feel the same way towards me."
I sat silently, unsure of what to say.
"How about we just go home?" He said after a few minutes of silence.
We drove for what felt like hours in that car of his mom's. As he made turns I'd try to look him in the eyes but just couldn't. It felt wrong. I felt like I was doing something wrong, breaking a major rule.
When we showed up to my house and he shifted into park I turned to him.
"You're right. I don't trust you. And you can't love someone without trust. I once loved you. And I still could." I then slid out of the car and broke for a run into the house.
