ALL FOR YOU

CHAPTER 8

Ethan's pov:

I couldn't sleep, but it was freaking hard to stay awake. Why the hell am I like this. Am not supposed to care if she's mad at me or not, but I do care, I should at least know my offense. I got up from my bed and walked up to the window. I opened my own and stretched out my hockey stick and knocked on her window. She opened the window after a few taps.

"what?" she asked and I came out and sat properly on the window.

"I wanna talk to you"

"it's late, I have to get up early tomorrow"

"I know, I know it's late, I won't take much of your time". I said and she was quite for a while before taking the same position as me.

"what did you want to talk about? "

" I just wanted to know if I might have something to upset you"

"and why would you think that"

"well you've been awfully quite ever since that stuff with Andrew at school"

"look, am just confused okay". What is she confused about. "this whole thing going on in school is just.. I don't know if I want to involve myself in all this"

"what does that mean"

"you, Aiden, Thelma, am tired of all of you."

"I don't understand"

"Do you really think that the reason Aiden has been after me is because am new in school? No Ethan, it's because of you. The few weeks I knew you, I'd admit I wasn't feeling terrible most of the time but I don't think I want to be tangled in your Web. Am sorry, I've got to go" she said and jumped into the house.

"Sammy wait" I yelled and she stopped dead in her tracks. She turned to me, her eyes glassy. Great.

"what did you just call me?"

"See I had this puppy once and I called her Sammy, you guys have a lot in common so I just thought that-" I started explaining, but she cut me off.

"that name... " she started, a lone tear running down her cheek " d-dont ever call me that again"

"why not"

"BECAUSE MY MOM..." she started yelling, but stopped abruptly, as if realising that she said something she shouldn't have. I could tell she was trying to hold back tears, but she wasn't doing quite well as more tears slipped.

"hey, what's the problem" I asked.

"good night Ethan" she said and shut her window but forgot to pull the curtains. I jumped from my Window to hers and peeked inside. Okay am pretty sure I sound like a stalker right now, but I wanted to see what made her cry. She wasn't on her bed though. She sat on the floor, and placed her head on her knees, with her hands hugging them as she cried. I sat by her window until It was close to the time I knew my mum was going to come check up on me. I jumped back into my room and laid on the bed wondering what the hell I did wrong. I mean it's just a nickname. Right?

Samantha's pov:

I walked into class, and they all stared at me. I know I looked hideous, but did have to may it so obvious. Someone was on my seat next to Ethan which was a relief cuz I've been trying to avoid him. It would have been perfect except the only free seat was the one beside Aiden.

"well well well, isn't fate wonderful" he said resting in his seat, with me totally ignoring him.

"you just had to sit with me didn't you?" he asked with a smirk as usual.
