that I was right here her looks at me. I smirk and wave. “Hey. Aubrey. Okay. Who are you and what having you done with my best friend?” I look up at him and he sits down next to me. “Ha ha...” I laugh sarcastily. “You did this and you owe me.” He laughs and sits down as mrs.baker comes in.

After cheerleading practice I drop Alex off and drive home. I do my homework and at about 6:30 I tug on jeans and a shirt. I slip downstairs and put on my converse. I walk down to the park wanting to get some fresh air. As I approach the park I see Alex walk in with another cheerleader that has taken the choice of ignoring me. I stop short and realize that Alex hasten told me anything about dating Cynthia I think it is. I start tiptoeing toward them and I see them sitting on the swings. There talking about something and I get closer. I stop when I hear the words leave her mouth. “I want you to stop hanging out with that girl Aubrey auburn whatever her name is. I don’t like her.” I see Alex nod his head and look over to her. “Okay ill call her tonight.” I step back with tears streaming down my face and I step on a twig. They look back and both see me there. Alex starts to get up when I back away while I respond in barely a whisper. “ don’t worry no need to call” before bolting out of the park and half way down madin road I bump into something hard and strong. I fall back on my butt and wipe at the tears in my face. I look up to see Sam Anderson’s football quarterback and my enemy in front of me. I get up and take a deep breath. “Are you okay? What’s wrong?” I almost laugh. “I’m fine it’s just I’m fine. Thanks for asking” I add hastily before attempting to walk away. He grabs my arm and pulls me in front of him. “No you’re not okay you are crying and I know were not good friends but I would like to help. Come on in. I’ll make some hot Chocó.” I shrug and follow him too tired to protest. I walk into his house and plop onto his couch. 10 min later the story was out and I was sobbing against Sam’s chest while he holds me in his arms. I fall asleep and next thing I know were walking up my sidewalk and he’s knocking on the door. I shake my head and jump off his hold. Grabbing my key from my pocket. Opening the door and look back at him. “Yeah. Tanks for tonight I needed some letting looses and getting I all out.” He shrugs “nah it was fun. I’m glad you feel better now. Soooo yeah. I guess we’ll be hanging out tomorrow. I look at him and question” um don’t we hate each other?” he chuckles. “You tell me.” Before he pulls me into a hug and walks down my driveway calling goodnight over his shoulder. I close the front door and immediately face to Chris. He frowns “you just do what I think you did with Sam?” I burst out laughing realizing if I got intimate with Sam. “Um no… we were talking.” Chris nods. I pat his head and walk upstairs.
2 weeks later.

Everyday at lunch, in class in the hallways, I avoided Alex as much as possible. I stayed close to Sam. I always go glances from Alex and he always looked mad. His eyes were hard, cold. Empty. This morning I woke up feeling sick but I knew it wasn’t my monthly friend because she visited 2 weeks ago. But not sick as in throw up and head ack but like I felt something bad was going to happen. I shaked my head and put on my baby doll shirt, my dark skinny jeans my black flats and my hair as normal. I grabbed my backpack and got in the car. When I saw Sam pass my street in his jeep and honked I pulled out and followed behind. The morning went fine until lunch came rolling by. I look around my table and see everyone talking and laughing. I look up next to me to see Sam looking down at me. I smile and he smiles back. He turns his head and starts talking to Trevor about last week’s football game. I fiddle with my smoothie cup and take off the cap. I take a sip when I feel a presence at my side and the table freeze. I look at all of them and I then look up to see Alex standing next to me. “Come on Aubrey. I know you’re mad. But I dint know you were so desperate for a friend that you would go to” he looks over Sam “him” he spat out the last word like it was venom. I feel Sam get up next to me and I get up also. Before I can speak Sam speaks up. “ Don’t talk about her that way. She didn’t find me I found her and by the way she a way better friend than you. Anyone would be happy to be her friend n need for her to be desperate.” Alex face turns red and looks at me. “Aubrey. I’m sorry I didn’t mean to hurt you” we hear Sam scoff “I’m sorry to say but I thought you could do better than him my gosh. Anyway I’m really sorry.” He grabs my hand and starts tugging on it. His tug loosens when Sam wraps his and on my waist and tugs me back. Ales turn towards Sam and punch him and before I could even gasp the two boys were onto of each other. I grab Sam’s shirt and tug on him causing him to get up. I push him away from Alex and he stands there looking at me. Alex stands up and storms off. I grab my bag and smoothie and start to follow him before Sam grabs my hand and pulls me back.” Where are you going?” I shrug “to go see if he’s alright” Sams eyes turn unreadable “so you mean after he dumped you in the dirt after being your best friend over the biggest slut of the school. Who right now just insulted you and you didn’t even notice and your going after him?” I nod and before I have time to break his grasp his lips crush on to mine. For a minute I stand there frozen until l I come back to my sense and push away. I grab my smoothie and pour it all over him “how dare you.” I spat before walking out of the cafeteria. I storm out of the cafeteria and run into the bathroom. I could hear the little gasps of shock when I spilled the smoothie on him because who refuses the football captain? I do. Yeah. I just have to remember that. Oh but how right it felt having his arm around my waist, he being protective and his soft lips on top of mine. I sigh and tell myself it’s just a phase. I hear the bell ring so I pull myself together and walk out into the hallway. I walk to my social studies class and sit in my seat. Everyone stares at me. Knowing that each one of my classmates were at the lunchroom when the little accident happened. I took out my textbook and got my binder out. I took out my homework and put it on my desk. I don’t pay attention to anything she says, my head stormed with thoughts. I just lost the only friends I have here. The whole school now knows and I got kissed by the most popular in our school. Instead of kissing back I shove him and pour str- “Aubrey... Hello. Are you okay?” I’m ripped from my thoughts to find Mr. Sanchez in front of my desk with homework in hand. I nod and listen to him praise my work.” Fabulous… it perfect. Ahhh yes soooo understanding but I must say you have an opinion on the civil war.” He keeps ranting on and on while I nod and shake my head when necessary. When he feels it is time to teach his class the bell rings and I bolt out of there as fast as imaginable. I’m walking down the hallway searching my bag for my vocals sheet music when I bump into someone’s locker. Dang why is it that I always bump into things. I get up a shake the dirt of myself. I look up to find myself face to chest with Sam. As he starts talking I feel the blood trailing down from my forehead and next thing I know I’m falling.
“Is she okay?” I hear a deep voice ask
“Yes. My you worry a lot.” I hear s soft giggle. “Are you dating her.?”
I hear the deep voice sigh and mumble softly “not yet.”
I wait until the door opens and I hear someone’s footsteps walk softly away. I open my eyes and find myself in a bright room with posters of teen pregnancy and dieses and other no smoking posters. I blink rapidly a few times and sit up. Ignoring the pounding in my head I sit up and look around to find myself in the nurses office and Alexander at the door and Sam next to me looking at me. I shake my head a little flustered when I see Sam with his eyes bruised and Alexander lip swollen. “Um what happened?” Ugh my head.” Oh my head.” My hand immediately goes to my head. I see Alexander and Sam come around the little cot I am currently laying in. I take my hand away and stand up from the cot ignoring my dizziness. I pick my book bag up and turn to stare at them. “What happened and what are you 2 doing here?” They look at me and blink. “Ugh idiots. Someone answer me or ill be leaving.” I take a threatening step towards the door. They both start looking at each other when Sam starts talking. “You were walking down the hall looking through your bag. You didn’t see me and walk into my locker edge. You cut your forehead right by the hairline and started bleeding. Your bangs cover the cut. Anyway you looked up and said my name and then collapsed. I caught you before you fell and then I picked your book bag up then carried you bride style.” Before Sam can finish Alex started talking. “Yeah he liked sprinting down the hall yelling at everyone and I asked him what happened to you and he said you got hurt.” Sam gave him a look and started talking. “Yup and then I got you here and then you wouldednt wake up. And then last period started and then you slept all through last period and its 3:15 so I came to make sure your okay.” I just stare at them and nod my head. “Thanks for like bringing me to the nurses and um yeah.” I picked my book bag up a looked
