When The Lights Go Down

Sam Smiles

Tuesday Morning

*B shuffles through her locker trying to find all her things she needs for her first block of classes when she receives a tap on the shoulder*

(Bailey) *Smile* Hey Sam

(Sam) *Smiling* Hey...I didn’t get a chance to run into you yesterday, thought I would see how the rest of your weekend was…

(Bailey) uhh…painful

(Sam) hungover?

(Bailey) yup *popping the P*

(Sam) ugh that sucks

(Bailey) sucked even more because I got busted the second I walked in the door and my dad smelled it so he hid all the pain reliever the next day

(Sam) harsh

(Bailey) mmhmm…what about you? How was your weekend? You look…less fuzzy today *smiles*

(Sam) *chuckles* it was good, so-uh how is the whole Jake situation going?

(Bailey) not good, I have this big bruise from him grabbing me and my brothers saw it and roughed him up a bit…so for payback yesterday he ended up getting me kicked out of class and then in English he was talking crap about me so I slapped him and I'm fairly certain I’ll have detention today.

(Sam) Jakes an ass

(Bailey) Why do you ask ?

(Sam) *shrug* he has kinda been bragging how you guys are going to get back together

(Bailey) that’s not going to happen

(Sam) well, this isn’t the first time you guys have broken up…

(Bailey)  this isn’t the first time he has cheated on me,  he had me convinced it was my fault for being gone so much with my brothers so I took him back like an idiot, but I’m here now and he cheated on me again so now I see he’s just an ass and he will never change. So yea…we will NOT be getting back together

(Sam) good to know… *smiles* listen, I have to go, but you have first half lunch right?

(Bailey) yup *Smiles*

(Sam) K, maybe I'll see you then *smile*

*B enters her first period class and sits down*

Bailey’s Inner Monologue

Ok is it just me or was Sam just flirting with me? Was I reading too much into that? He is cute…like REALLY cute…I can’t believe I hadn’t noticed that before

*B’s thoughts are interrupted by the teacher handing her a slip of paper*

Detention….fantastic.

*B quickly texts Kevin before the class begins*

(Bailey Text) have a project after school will you pick me up @5?

(Kevin Text) yup, I'll tell mom c u then

(Bailey text) tnx!!

-LUNCH-

*B walks in deposits $1 into the vending machine for her sour patch watermelons and plops down next to Livie at their usual table*

(Bailey) oh my goodness sake I am so flippin happy you are back, you are never allowed to be sick ever again am I understood?

(Olivia) *giggles* yes ma’am

(Bailey) I am serious so much crap has happened while you were gone and I couldn’t reach you on your phone 

(Olivia) yea my phone is kinda out of commission right now…

(Bailey) why? What happened to it?

(Olivia) last Thursday night I went out to dinner with dad …long story short they had those auto flushing toilets in the bathrooms and I sat my phone on the back of the toilet and it accidentally dropped in and then it autoflushed and it was gone.

*B busts out laughing*

(Bailey) Only you I swear…Hollywood doesn’t write shit that funny.

*Livie shrugs*

(Olivia) anyway Dad hasn’t had time to go get me another yet with me being sick and him working so he promised I'd have a new phone by this weekend. What’s up, what did I miss?

*B fills Olivia in on her New York trip , the sneaking out and busting Jake drama… Sam coming to her rescue, getting busted , the hangover…then the Jonas throat stomp and things leading to her current detention*

(Olivia) Holy frick B, You ooze drama

(Bailey) I know, right?

(Olivia) so what did your mom say about detention? I know she is all uber strict with the school stuff.

(Bailey) didn’t tell her, I told Kevin, he is covering for me and picking me up…

*Sam walks up and sits next to B*

(Sam) Ladies…

*B smiles and cocks her head toward Livie raising her eyebrows*

(Bailey) I was beginning to think you forgot about me

(Sam) *smile* that I could never do, so-um sour patch watermelons…. you are a health nut then? *joking*

(Olivia) those things are a food group in B's world

(Bailey) hey, I could have worse addictions!

(Olivia) Yea, like repeatedly dating assholes who cheat on you and get you detention.

(Sam) OH she’s got you there

*B slaps Sam on the shoulder playfully*

(Sam) so you got detention huh?

(Bailey) *waves her detention slip in the air* can’t wait…I’m so very excited

*A big smile spreads across Sam’s face*

(Bailey) what? What’s the smile for

(Sam) nuthin'….I have to run, I’ll see you later Olivia…Bye B *smile*

(Bailey) bye 

*B watches Sam as he leaves the cafeteria*

(Olivia)mmmhmmmmmm

(Bailey) what?

(Olivia) I know that look….

(Bailey) what look? I don’t have a look

(Olivia) mmmmmhmmmm
