What I did to Jennifer was really wrong. I could not be such a bitch to her. I thought of keeping the chocolate box that Drake had given to me, to keep her in her locker. Obviously, I wasn’t gonna mention my name. Like I said, Samantha Hayes never apologizes to anyone, even if I know I am wrong, I couldn’t hurt my self- esteem and apologize to someone, that too a person like Jennifer Eriksen. Anyway, I went towards my locker to collect the chocolate box. It accidently fell off from my hands. As soon as I bent down to pick it up, there was already someone’s hand. I looked up. I saw a clean cut jaw face with blonde hair. Lips were thin, eyes like blue topaz. He was thin, yet had muscular biceps and a broad chest. His dark grey shirt fit him perfectly and he handed out the chocolate box to me. For a split second, his body attracted me. But then I realized that it was Jennifer Eriksen’s brother. I got back to my senses and acted as if he didn’t affect me at all. I took the chocolate box, without thanking him and started to move.
“Where is daddy’s little girl going?” He said.
I realized he had a husky voice, yet when he said the word “girl” his voice changed. I stopped for a moment. My dad was dead. The entire school knew about it. And they also knew that we weren’t closed to my dad. I lost my patience at that point of time. I turned.
“Hey listen, you.” I said, pointing at him, “one more word about my dad, and you’re dead.”
He chuckled. He imitated me, saying the same thing in a more girly, Barbie-like voice.
“You’ll kill me, eh? Seen yourself In the mirror? Piece of “dipshit”. ” He said, grinning.
Oh, so this is what everything was all about. His sister.
“Try some originality? You’re just like your sister. Chasing and copying people’s lifestyle.” I said, disgusted.
“Hey, listen you.” He said, pointing at me, “one more word about my sister and you’re dead.”
Everybody in the hall started to laugh. No one. Absolutely NO one had ever had the guts to speak to me like this. He had me there. I rolled my eyes.
“What is even your name? Balls.. cake.. fake.. Something like that, eh?” I said, smirking.
He came close to me with a stern look. I went backward. I swear, he scared me at that point of time.
“Oh why? Attracted to me, already?” He said, winking.
That moment, I thought I saw the best smile ever. His smile was a perfect curve. And his dimples there, got me. I stared at them for a second and then gained my composure again. “You are Sam, Sam. The Sam!” I reminded myself.
“My ass.” I said and turned back to leave.
“Generally that’s the first thing that any girl’s body attracts after seeing me. If you know what I mean there.” He said, walking along with me.
I could not help but laugh at that time.
“have you seen your face? My dog looks better than you.” I said, chuckling.
“I see my face everyday honey, and notice how awesome I am. Unlike.. you?” He said, sarcastically.
Now by that I really got offended. I had already said too much stuff to her sister. I just did not complicate matters with him too. Now that was weird because I LOVED to fight. I mean, I could fight with anyone for the smallest of things. Just like my mom. That’s why dad and mum didn’t work out.
I took a deep breath and looked at him, trying to cool down .
“ Okay seriously, why are you here?” I asked, looking up at him.
That time I realized that he was pretty tall. Around 4 inches taller than me.
“ As if you don’t know? Now since you’re acting as if you don’t know anything, let me tell you. Oh no, sorry, WARN you that if I see you around my sister again, ever, that is gonna be the worst day of your life. Get that straight.” He said. It was pretty evident from his tone of voice that he was not joking. He was bloody serious.
I gulped. I don’t know why but that guy really did scare the panties off me. Once again, I pretended that his words didn’t bother me one bit. I rolled my eyes and started to walk away.
I took two steps but then my hands started to ache. Someone had held my hands tightly. Before I could turn around to see who it was, that person pushed me close to him and I almost fell. Whoever it was, held my hands bloody tight. I could almost see them getting red. I moaned and looked up. It was him again. I tried to free my hands from him but somehow he wasn’t surrendering.
“Blake Eriksen means each and every word he says. Remember that.” He said, coming REALLY close to me. Anyone would think that we were kissing, we were that close. His breath attacked my face. It smelt really good, just like his body did. I don’t know why I was getting so attracted towards him. I mean, I never even looked at any other guy apart from Rob. It was always him since the beginning.
He slowly freed my hand.
“Ouch. You could have said that in a better manner, you know.” I said, running my fingers over my wrist.
“Same goes for you.” He said and finally walked away.
Wait, what? What did he even mean? Was he trying to relate what I told to Jessica? I guess.

In that split second, I died.”
