Chapter Eleven

Today is just another day at School, having only been sent here due to its lack of educational cost, anything for her father to get out of paying for the expenses. Her mother would have home schooled her if it wasn’t for him, but she had no say in the matter - any word of objection would have been just another fight or bicker of who is right.

“Sammy, school is just a temporary place, keep going and before you know it, you’ll be out on your own,” her mother always said. It’s been a few weeks, and we just got news that his trip is going to be farther out than we had anticipated, not that we minded at all - anything to have a break from the emotional abuse.

She hasn’t spoken to Jake since she confronted him with how she feels and after having him shut her out, not a single word has been uttered - she is beginning to believe that he doesn’t want to see her and that maybe he is avoiding her just as much as she is trying to catch up to him.

Sam slams her locker shut looking over her schedule, her eyes falling on her first class of the day; Algebra. Ugh. . . She sighs, shuffling through the corridors her eye catches Ari eye from across the way standing with her brother Adrian. Ari’s brother was not hot or at least she wouldn’t put it that way - he was nice to look at with his shaggy red hair and bright green eyes; but she will admit one thing - he is awfully fun to flirt with.

He quirks a smile when he spots her. “Hey Sammy girl.”

“Hey. I see you decided to actually make it into School today?”

“Of course, couldn’t miss out on seeing my girl; now could I?” He gives her a wink and she could see the sparkle in his eyes.

“Your girl, aye?”

“One and only baby,” he says.

Ari fakes throwing up, shoving her finger down her throat as she coughs, “Get a room!”

Blushing, Sam ducks her head slightly. She liked flirting with him, but it was never something that she saw herself actually doing.

Adrian answers, “C’mon sis, who needs a room these days?!”

Well, if she thought it couldn’t get more embarrassing; she was wrong. Blushing lightly, she turns her eyes to her best friend.

Rolling her eyes, Ari speaks, “Have you heard from Mr. McDreamy?”

“Jake?”

“Who else!”

Sighing, she says, “No, not since I told him how I felt. He just took off.”

“What?” Adrian asks, almost looking hurt.

Looking pissed, Ari exclaims, “That ass!”

Yep, my words exactly Sam thinks.

She could remember the first time she met Ari, it was 4th grade, and the teacher had them paired together for a group project. This wasn’t like the first day they became friends with the incident with Ari pet rattlesnake.

She was a chatty little girl, still is. It was a project for the Science fair they had every year. She could still remember the topic, Sloths.
