Mistreated A Sam Wilkinson FanFic

Chapter 8: Revealed

Riley's POV

School has become just another great thing for me while being here in Omaha. Everyones been treating me exceptionally well. I've never felt more respected or cared about in my life. All of my teachers are amazing. No problems with any of them. Same with the students here.

The only one I've had trouble with so far is Jillian. But she hasn't been that much trouble for me. It's actually been quite funny for me to be completely honest. Making little sarcastic jokes towards her has been fun.

Nate thinks that she'll be a problem for me and that I should watch out for her. Does he know who I am? That boy needs to lighten up a little. I'm completely fine with everything around here.

Oh, and Sam has been extraordinarily amazing ever since I got here. He's in all of my classes and it makes things super easy. He lets me follow him everywhere. Although he looks like he doesn't mind at all. He looks like he's enjoying it. I know I am.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested in Sam as more than a friend. He's extremely hot, and he's got a great personality. Funny, nice, caring. He's the total package.

We also have a lot in common.

But damn I can not let Nate know how I feel towards Sam. He already doesn't want me hanging around him in general. Nate would punch Sam, and he'd hate me. Nate's like my brother. And you know how dating your brother's best friend usually goes.

Disaster waiting to happen right there.

Today was Friday. Our last day before going on winter break. I was sitting with Sam at our usual lunch table. The clock hung up on the far side of the cafeteria reading 11. My eyes scanned over the words of my english book that sat in my lap, studying up for a pop quiz people have been mentioning all day.

"Does the girl do nothing but study?" Johnson's voice made me look up. He was sitting down across from me. Gilinsky beside him. Nate settling down right beside me. I smiled up at him.

"Gotta make highschool count." I laughed putting my book down.

"You put too much effort into this whole school thing." Gilinsky added.

"Just want to do something different from before at my old school." I shrugged. Avoiding eye contact with any of them.

It may have been almost two months since I've know these guys, but that's not enough for them to know much about me. Or at least all the things Nate knows about. The things people wouldn't be too comfortable talking about.

Nate's hand grabbed at mine that rested on my lap underneath the table. The Jacks and Sam were talking, so they didn't seem to notice his actions.

"What?" I questioned, looking over at him.

"You ok?" He asked.

"Ya I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?"

"It's just I know you're not completely comfortable with mentioning things back in Reighmound."

"Nate I'm fine. Don't worry about it. All of it doesn't really bother me all that much anymore."

I looked away from him and over at Sam. Nate let go of my hand just in time as Sam glanced down at me. Our eyes making contact. Smiles appearing on both of our faces.

He was such a cutie.

God I wish there wouldn't be a huge problem with him and me and Nate. If he wasn't friends with Nate I'd go and ask him right now to go on a date or something. I'm not afraid to do any of that.

It's gonna suck going two weeks without seeing Sam over winter break. No way can I hangout with him alone. Nate would have both of our heads. And I can't be around Nate if we were to hangout. That's too much of a risk. Even sitting next to him right now is a risk. Everything puts us at risk really. Everyone will soon find out about us. I know this whole secret thing isn't going to last long.

After school me and Nate just decided to go back home and chill. We sat in the basement in his room, talking about Christmas and what the family did for the holidays. I was very excited to have an actual Christmas with people I enjoy.
