Chapter 2 The Drama Club

It was Friday, a few days since Samantha and I both talked to each other, we got pretty close since. And today i get to see her again which makes my day better to be honest.

I made my way to Drama Club and then i stumbled into Samantha.

"Oh, hey there Lucy! Going to Drama Club too?" said Samantha.

"Mhm!, and by the way, why did you choose to join the Drama club? I mean it's not bad too, but this is surprising, because for the last 2 years ago, you always pick the Debate club." i questioned as we were walking together to the Auditorium.

"Oh... hmmm, well because I wanted to try something new, something fun you know? And plus, the Debate club was exhausting! But it doesn't mean i don't want to help improvements though, I just want to take a break for once." she answered.

"Oh, well same I want to try something new too! And have fun."

Samantha just smiled and I smiled back, we hurried to go into the auditorium where the club takes place, we got in, and Ms. Howard and Mr. Davis was planning what to play for the future event.

Samantha and i both came up to the teachers and said Hi, the teachers asked us what we think we should play, Samantha said we should play Alice in Wonderland since she considers it would be fun to act like the characters and make the props, I mean I guess it would be, I volunteered to draw the background with other people, while Samantha and the teachers were making the scripts.

It was after school, i saw the red thread again. Well, I followed it again since I had time to, it was leading me to the back of the school, I then suddenly heard someone crying then the red thread disappeared. I searched around to see who was crying, i surprisingly saw Samantha.

"Samantha? Hey are you okay?" She then looked at me shocked and wiped her tears off with her two hands. Why is she crying? Is she the reason I keep seeing a red thread? She then hurried to get up.

"Oh uh- hey! Hey Lucy... and yeah. Yeah! I'm fine, also i told you to call me Sam from now on." said Samantha, it was still obvious she was crying.

"Oh... yeah sorry i forgot, and are you sure you're, okay? It doesn't look like it, do you need to go to the nurse? Or we can even visit the cafe down the street you know? Maybe you'll feel bette-"

"Yes, I'm sure, sorry but I have to go now..." said Sam.

Sam hurried on getting her stuff and walked fast behind me, I then grabbed her shoulders before she could get far.

"Hey! I don't care what you say," I said with no hesitation to her "I'm taking you to the nurse's office or either the cafe!"

"Okay! Okay... let's just go to the cafe rather than the nurse's office!" she said.

We both started to walk calmly to the cafe, i wonder what she's crying about... i hope she'll be okay soon at least, since I'll also buy her favorite comfort drink, a Frappuccino! I really hope she'll feel better soon, and I hope i can help whatever problem she is devastated about... i handed her a towel to wipe more of her tears, she was still crying, and tears were falling down from her face while we were walking to the cafe.

We arrived and I immediately ordered a Frappuccino and an iced coffee. In the cafe it was peaceful and quiet, and I liked that feeling... and it's the perfect timing Sam and I both came here today.

"Sam... you can tell me why you're crying, if you're comfortable too." i asked as we were sitting waiting for our order.

"Well, uh... since we are close friends now... I guess I should, you know what they say! Don't bottle up your problems." she said.

"So, uh... well you might know me as miss perfect right? Well... I'm not exactly that person, my parents JUST got divorced... that's why i was crying earlier. Is it because of me? Did I not do better? I-I-I don't know who to choose... a-and every time I go home there's always a fight and somehow, I got involved in it I didn't even do anything." Sam said, I was shocked and worried.

"How could it be you? You're such a great friend and probably a great daughter to them too! I'm sorry that I haven't been there for you as much as I want too but remember I would just be here listening to your problems and other things that have been going on in your mind." I spoke. I tried my best to comfort her.

The waiter handed our drinks, an Iced Coffee and a Frappuccino, Sam quickly wiped her tears and let out a friendly smile, we got our drinks and drank it, as i was drinking it, I was looking at Sam, I never knew how hard her life was I felt bad that I can't really do anything to help her but just listen and give her comfort.

I held her hand and said "Hey, try to be calm..." I saw her eyes widened and she then smiled, and i smiled back.

After a few minutes at the cafe, we decided to walk together to our homes since our houses are in the same direction, "Wanna walk together to our homes Lucy?" Sam asked me. "Oh! Um... Sure!" We walked out of the cafe and started to walk to our homes. Why does this feel different? I can feel butterflies in my stomach, it was weird for me to think like that, I'm just walking with a friend to go home... am I... in love?
