As I step outside of my high school, I'm instantly chilled to the bone, as the bitter mid-October wind whips around me.
"Two more weeks Samantha... Two more weeks." I mumble to myself as I begin the long walk back to my house.
"Two more weeks till what?" I hear somebody say from behind me. As I turn, I see Simon White, walking faster to catch up to me.
"Oh, hey Simon." I stutter.
'Come on Samantha! Be flirty! Don't be a fool again!' I tell myself.
I've had a crush on Simon since the 7th grade, and I'm now in 11th grade, and I've never had a decent conversation with this kid because my tongue gets tied every time I see him.
"Hey, so, what's in two weeks again?" He asks, smiling his perfect smile.
"Oh, my mom's getting me a car." I say, looking down, as I begin to play with my hair, as I see the others girls do when they talk to guys. It's so beautiful out today, minus the bone chilling wind, the leaves are turning from their natural green color to bright oranges, reds, and yellows. I love living in the woods.
"Sweet." He replies smoothly, slipping his hands into his pockets.
"Yeah, I like walking though, it's amazing, living in the woods, having to walk through it to get to school, its very relaxing to me." I say, looking up into his deep blue-green eyes.
"I agree, there's nothing I enjoy more, besides talking to you." He says, smiling widely at me.
"You, enjoy talking to me?" I asked shocked.
"Yeah! I just never know what to say to you and every time I try to talk to you, it's like I lose my voice." He admits shyly.
"So do I." I say, blushing like an idiot.
"So, do you want to maybe hang out tomorrow after school?" Simon asks, a look of hopefulness in eyes, which assures me that this isn't a joke.
"Sure, I'd love too." I reply happily, trying not to scream over the fact that Simon White asked me to hang out.
"Great! Well, here's my cell number, you should text me later." He says, handing my a piece of paper with a phone number on the inside.
"Thanks, I'll do that. Well, I've got to get going Simon, I promised I'd make dinner tonight." I say, as I turn on my heels and begin to walk away.
"Your late Samantha." My step father says, as I walk inside.
"I was talking to a friend, you know, because, unlike some people in this family, I still have a life." I say bitterly, walking past him and into the kitchen.
"Don't talk to me like that young lady, you better have some respect for me, I'm you father now." He says, walking after me, cornering me to the wall.
"You'll never be anything to me David." I say, trying to find a way around him, but he's got me stuck in the one spot where the counter's corner is rounded.
"Your being a major bitch you know that." He hisses at me, leaning towards my face.
"Go brush your teeth." I say, turning away from him.
That was a huge mistake. As I said that, David locked his hand around my throat.
"Excuse me? I thought I told you to have some respect for me, trust me Samantha, I'm a lot bigger and stronger then you, I could do anything to you and you couldn't fight me off." He says, putting one hand just above my waist, and the other hand on my face, forcing me to look at him.
"Go ahead, rape me, watch were it'll get you." I snarl, looking him in the eyes.
'What is the matter with me!? Did I really just tell him to rape me?! God I'm so dumb!!!' I think to myself as I see him consider this.
David eyes me carefully. "That would be quite easy for me to do, but, you have to make dinner and the other kids will be home soon, so, I won't do that..... Yet." He says, stepping away from me and walking back into the living room.
I quickly make dinner, desperately wishing I could leave the house.
"Kids, dinners done." I say quickly. I hear some shuffling around, then Ashton, Ashley, and Mike are all in the kitchen, quickly getting to their seat, apparently hungry. David and my mom are the last ones in the kitchen.
I sit as far away from David as possible. He seems to notice my nervousness, and smiles, knowing he's frightened me with his words just 45 minutes before.
"So Samantha, how was school?" My mom asks me, looking up from her meal.
"It was fine. nothing new." I reply quickly, wanting to finish my meal so I can leave the house.
Since my dad was killed when I was 12, I've suffered from severe anxiety, and David doesn't help in the least.
"Are you okay Samantha? Did something happen today? You look very anxious today." My mother says clearly worried with my body language.
"Nothing happen. I'm just not hungry, and I really need some fresh air, can I please be excused from the table?" I ask quickly, hoping she'll realize that I need to get away from David.
"No, this is a family meal Samantha, you may leave when everybody else is done with their food." David says, thinking he has some kind of fatherly advantage over me.
"I asked my mother, not you David." I snap at him.
"Do you not remember the little conversation we had earlier Samantha?" He says bitterly.
I swallow hard, looking pleadingly at my mother.
"Yes you may be excused Sammi, Why don't you go take a walk over to Brittany's house for a little bit, she always seems to calm you down." My Mother says, smiling at me.
"Thank you mom." I say, quickly standing, and leaving the room.
I run upstairs to my room to grab my jacket, and my wallet. I honestly was starving but I couldn't stand being in the same room as David for another minute. As I walk back down stairs and head for the door, David comes out of the kitchen and walks towards the couch.
"You'll be home in an hour got it?" He says.
"I'll be home when I want to David." I say and exit the house before he can respond to my snide comment.
