My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 6

✴✴✴

"So this is the new kid?,"

I looked up at Ryan and nodded. "This is Sam."

Sam gave him a nod and I smiled.

"Sam. These are my friends, Sarah, Quinn, Xavier, Ryan, and Raven."

"We have another girl with us too but she's making up a test right now and her name is Kayla, and you've met Cass already," I smiled.

He gave them all a smile and then looked around the courtyard.

"So Sam. Where are you from?," asked Xavier.

"I'm from Jersey but my dad switched law firms and here I am."

Jersey? That's pretty cool. I've visited there one time and that was it but it was a business trip with my parents and I didn't really get to enjoy it.

That was another part of why I didn't like to spend time with my parents.

They'd only drag Blake and I on trips we didn't want to go on.

But I'm over it now because at least they're putting in an effort to try.

"That's so cool. Jersey is like one of the coolest places to live."

"I guess you could say that," he said giving me a small smile.

So we pretty much got to know Sam a lot more better throughout the lunch period.

Sam is actually a pretty cool guy.

But I particularly found out more about him. It seemed like he opened up to me more.

He had a little sister named Darcy. He's 17 and his mom is a stay-at-home mom and she also works from home. Apparently she's a game system marketer which basically means she promotes all game systems like, Wii, PlayStation. Etc.

We were currently in 8th period which was College Marketing.

We got assigned partners and of course I chose Sam. He was the only person in this class that I talked to. Everyone else were either girls that sent multiple glares at me, football jocks that hit on me, and a couple of sophomores.

"So want to come to my place after school and work on our project? I'll provide great snacks?"

He chuckled at that. "Sounds great then."

I smiled. "Great because I wasn't going to take no as answer."

He just shook his head and laughed.

I was happy that I made him laugh. It looked like he hardly laugh.

I was beginning to wonder if he had ever had any friends back at his old school.

"Mind if I catch a ride with you. My mom had to take my little sister to her dentist appointment and my dad is going to be home around 6."

I looked to him and nodded. "Of course."

Hey. Headed home with Sam to work on a project. I'll text u later.

With that I hit the send button which was going to Cass.

She wanted to know if I could stay after school with the guys to talk about the carnival but I really wanted to get a good grade on this project if I wanted to get accepted into the FIT. It stands for Fashion Institute of Technology.  I want to have my own fashion company Twinkle Chic. I want to call it that because I want it to stand for girls that can shine brighter than what they really think they can , for all shapes and sizes. I've put a lot of work and thought into it.
