As Black as the Night (book 1)

Caught in a lie

Sam and I walked into my room and she sat on my bed. I went into my closet and grabbed my two suitcases. Sam helped me pack some clothes, three pairs of shoes, my make-up, and of course my electronics. Once I was finished packing my bags, Sam takes one bag and helps me get then down stairs. I walk over to agus, who is in the kitchen starting dinner.

"Agus, can I borrow the car for just the rest of the day," I asked.

"Why," she asked.

"I'm just going to use it to go to sam's house," I said.

"How about I just drop you off," she said.

I nodded my head in agreement. Agus turned off the stove and grabbed her keys.

"Okay Emma, I'm going to be out for a couple minutes. You're in charge," she told Emma who was sitting on the couch reading a book.

"Okay agus," Emma said dismissing her.

Sam and I hopped into the car and agus drove us to sam's house. When we got there, which only took about five minutes because she lives about two blocks away, I told agus goodbye and she left.

"Okay my mom won't be here until 7:30 so you should be good," Sam told me as she opened her front door.

Her house is huge. The White House looks like a shed compared to sam's place. Her mom is the secretary for the interim CEO of B. A. M. E. T tech. My dad hired her about twenty years ago when he took over B.A.M.E.T tech. I was originally called something else but I don't remember what my dad said it was called. Sam's mom and my mom have been best friends ever since. That's how were best friend. Sam says we have been best friends since the womb. When she has a lot of sugar she will scream across the hall that I was her BFSTW. I placed my bags on the sofa and went into the kitchen.

"There isn't any food in the fridge," Sam said as I opened the fridge. I saw that the fridge was packed with food.

"Um, Sam this fridge literally has all the food in the world," I said.

"what," Sam said running over to the fridge. She saw all of the food in it. She got on her knees and screamed, "FOOD!"

I fell on the floor in tears. I cant stop laughing. Sam was basically inside the fridge. She turns around and I see her with frozen pizza hanging out of her mouth, which causes me to laugh even harder. I cant take it anymore.

"Sam please stop. I cant take it anymore," I said holding my stomach. "It hurts to laugh."

"I don't know what your talking about," she said muffling because she had a mouth full of chips.

After I died of laughter, Sam and I cooked the frozen pizza and watch our favorite show. (That's right kaylee.)

"TMNT," we looked at each other and yelled.

When the pizza was done we put m&ms and Skittles. I don't know why but that has always been the only way Sam and I ate our pizza. After watching the TMNT marathon, I looked over at the clock and saw it said 5:45.

"Shit he is almost here and I'm still in my school uniform," I said mentally slapping my head.

"Hey it's okay you still have 15 minutes to get ready," Sam said reassuring me.

I opened one of my suit cases and grabbed my jean shorts and a plain purple crop top. I went to go change in the bathroom. I didn't realize I was I there for a long time until Sam was banging on the door to get out.

I walked out and saw Dick standing in the living room.

"Hey," Dick said looking at Sam confused.

"I have every right to be here. This is my best friend's house," she lied.

"I didn't say anything," he said in a playful defensive voice.

Just in that moment, everything came tumbling down. Sam's mom walked in the house and saw all of use in the living room.

"Hey sweet heart," she said talking to Sam.

"Mom thank you for picking me up," Sam said trying to get her mom in on the lie.

"What are you talking about," her mom asked.

I mentally slapped my head in embarrassment. Sam looked over at me with an apologetic smile. I looked over at dick and could tell he knew what we going on.

"No you came to pick me up from Barbara's house," Sam tried leaving a hint one last time.

Sam's mom walked up to her. "Are you high again," she whispered.

"Mom, I did that one time and you never let me live it down," Sam whispered back.

I walked over to dick and just told him we could go. I grabbed my bags and walked out of the house. Dick closed the door behind me and just stood by the door.

"Let me guess. This isn't you house," dick said.

"Way to go Sherlock. I thought you would never get it," I said half annoyed and half embarrassed.

"Why did you lie," he asked.

"I didn't want you to know where I lived," I confessed.

"Why. I'm not some psycho killer," he said laughing.

"No it's not that," I told him.

"Then why."

"I live in an orphanage and I'm embarrassed about it," I confessed.

"You don't need to be embarrassed."

"I know."

"it's okay. I'm just amazed that Sam would help you try to pull it off," he said.

"What are best friends for," we heard Sam yell from inside the house.

We both started laughing. I walk over to the door and hit the door where Sam had her head.

"Ouch," Sam said as she fell on the floor.

Sam got up and opened the door. She was so angry. I could see the smoke coming from her ears. I couldn't stop laughing.

"Go before they find her body in a dumpster," she said.

Dick and I were walking to his car. He put my bags in the truck and we got in.

"I love you too," I said from the car.

She dismissed me and went back into the house.

"Well that was interesting," dick said.

He started the car and we drove to go to Wayne manor. I just want this week to go by fast.
