Chapter 9: part 3:
~~~SAM'S POV~~~
You know, I've noticed how Saralyn has been acting kind of strange... Ever since her first encounter with Rudy, she's been drifting off into space a lot... kind of what Danny does. Speaking of Danny, he's kind of been acting strange too. He's been looking worried lately. Whenever I ask him why, he just says it's about Saralyn. I wonder what's going on... Okay, back to Saralyn. I wonder what she keeps thinking about... Maybe it has something to do with Danny. Wait a minute... no way!
"Samantha! Are you even listening to me!?" my mom cried, troubling my train of thought.
I rolled my eyes. I HATE it when people call me "Samantha". It's too... what's the word?... girly for me.
"Sorry, mom. I'm just a little unfocused today." I said. My mom shook her head and went into the kitchen. I could smell dinner cooking.
~~~SARALYN'S POV~~~
Each day, after school, I would go to the hill to think. I would constantly ask myself questions, only to make me more worried.
Come on, just calm down... I thought. Just think about something that makes me happy. Like Danny. Yeah, I'll just think about him. Ugh, talk about creepy with a capital EW.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I thought about my past memories. It slowly made me feel a little better. When I opened my eyes, I was startled to find Sam standing in front of me. She studied my face, as if she were trying to find something.
"You like Danny, don't you?" she asked me. I flinched.
"What? Me? Like Danny? No, no way..." I said. I stuttered a little. Sam stared at me. I then looked at the ground. "It's kind of obvious, isn't it?"
Sam smiled and she sat next to me.
"It's okay." Sam said. She looked over Amity Park, taking in the view. "I know how you feel."
I smiled. An awkward silence fell.
I'm getting tired of these. I thought.
"I... got to go." I said finally. I changed forms and flew off, Sam waving as I flew away.
