Two Sided

[21] 30 Seconds of Courage

Sam woke up the next morning a little disappointed considering she didn't have to go school today, but then the thought of seeing him, aka the new guy, the next day at least stirred her to have a good attitude. She knew they had the same professor so that meant they had the same class which meant that she still had a chance of seeing him sooner or later, but Sam couldn't help but want to see him sooner. The whole day she had off she spent doing homework and playing with Milo. She couldn't help but the thought of the new guy she had seen out of her head, and what made it worse was how she practically remembered every feature about him. He was tall but not to tall at least a little taller then Sam, he had brown eyes but she felt she could get lost in them forever, and he had brown straight semi long hair. On top of all that he had the same skin tone as Sam, and that just made her laugh because she never thought she would be into someone who was the same skin tone as her. So for the rest of the day Sam kept his image in her head long with doing her homework while playing with Milo.

When Sam woke up the next morning she couldn't help but smile. She got up spent longer then she ever thought she would picking something out to wear, but the catch was she didn't want to wear just anything. Sam wanting to look nice but she didn't want to expose to much, and when she finally figured it out she wore black converse, with skinny jeans, and a frailly light blue and white stripped shirt that exposed part of her back. After she showered she had to decide on makeup, but she didn't want to wear to much but didn't want to not wear any at all so she decided to stick with mascara and eyeliner. What felt like hours getting ready Sam was finally was finished, and was ready to leave. Since Sam wanted more of a chance to talk to him she tried to get there a little latter to try and sit with him, but she got there a little to late and ended up sitting farther away from him then she wanted.

All Sam could really do was suck it up and deal with what she had, and if that meant acting like it didn't bother her she would try. So Sam found an open seat, then sat down, and got her stuff out to take notes. The whole lecture she had the same feeling as before, that someone was watching her, and tried to not let it bother her. Once the lecture was over she quickly packed her stuff up tp talk to him but she was a little to quick cause she was partly stuck waiting on him to leave, but once he headed toward the door she stepped out to start walking out too. Just as they were walking out she had about 30 seconds before she lost her chance so she took it.

"Hi, I'm Sam" she said happily.
"Hello, I'm Matthew" he said awkwardly.
"So your new here to the university or the whole town?" Sam asked.
"Both" Matthew replied trying to keep from walking to fast.
"Oh well you should like give me your number...haha I mean if that's not weird" Sam said with hot cheeks.
"Sure" Matthew said smirking.
"Do you text a lot?" Sam asked quietly.
"Honestly no, but now I have a reason too" Matthew said smirking at Sam. All she could really do was blush and that's exactly what she did.
Once Matthew had given Sam his number she walked off. The next lecture flew by and before Sam new or she was at her apartment with Milo playing Xbox with herself. "Milo, I don't get it I sent him a text and all the other person said was wrong number.....do you think he gave me the wrong number on purpose?" Sam asked Milo sadly. The rest of the evening she spent staring at her phone and watching American Horror Story while eating twizzlers.

When she went to school the next few weeks seemed to go really slow, and she noticed that Matthew wasn't there. Day after day, lecture after lecture he didn't show up. Not even in the middle of class, and this got Sam worried. At first she figured he was sick but then after a week she figured he wasn't. Not only did he give her the wrong number but it seemed like he went MIA too. Sam couldn't help but he partly did this on purpose, but the most she could do was go with it even if it sucked.One thing was for sure and that was when she saw Matthew again she would find out what's going on.
