My Own Happy Ending

Chapter 9

As I walk out the door I run into a person. I mumble apologizes and look up and find its Miracle standing in front of the door with her arms crossed.

"So what really happened at his house?"

"Nothing," I say defensively. "You know Samuel he's weird." I push past her. She catches up with me and gives me a suspicious look. "You would tell me if something is wrong right?"

I nod my head. "Of course of course I would tell you everything that's bothering me."

Little did she know that there was a double meaning to that sentence.

The bell rings signaling that I was late to class. I say farewell to Miracle and run to class. I get there as soon as the teacher was closing the door thank fully she sees me and opens the door with only a stern look.

I walk in and sit next to Samuel who was talking to his friends, Michael, Harley.

Harley was Samuels right hand man but he gives me weird vibes. I always see Ashley giving him weird looks that makes me feel like theres something going on. He had emerald eyes and short black hair.

Harley signals with a jerk of his head and a smirk to Samuel that I was sitting behind him. Samuel turns around and grins at me with a glint in his eye. I narrow my eyes and face forward trying to ignore him without seeming like I was ignoring him.

He flicks my ear and i flick my eyes over at him. "What do you want?"

"Nothing just your attention." Harley snickers and Michael stays quiet.

"Well now you have it. Can I help you with something?" I say sarcastically.

He shakes his head. I heave out a sigh and face forward again. I see Harley in the corner of my eye walk over to me and bend down close to my ear and whispers, "Ashley's fun to mess with.".

I freeze, growing worried and say, "what did you do to Ashley?"

He laughs quietly and backs up. I'm not even going to entertain him. I'll just ask Ashley at lunch. Michael goes to his seat along with Harley. Michael didn't even say anything. He really is a shy guy.

"Did you ever find out how to change the language back?"

I shake my head. I hadn't even thought about it, but I had figured out it was Greek. With what happened on Friday it was pushed to the back of my mind.

He sighs and says, "I guess I can change it back." I turn and look at him to check if it's really Samuel.

"Really..."

"Uh yeah I guess so... Unless you don't want me to then I don't care."

Slowly I give him my iPod and give him a weary look. He takes it from my hand. He starts tapping on it and hands it back.

Carefully I open it and the numbers are in English and unlock it fully and check everything I can understand everything. I look at Samuel.

"Why did you do that?"

Ignoring my question he states,"you have never said my name."

I frown and search my memories of ever saying his name to him. Of course I've said his name to my friends but not to him.

"Why would you care?"

He shrugs. "I don't. I'm just wondering," he pauses,"usually girls are screaming my name... In bed." He grins.

I give him a disgusted look. "Well I will not be one of those girls."

He grins more and leans closer. "Mmmm I don't know about that, babe."

I scrunch my face up. "Don't call me babe. I'm not your babe. I will never be your babe."

He laughs which annoys me more. I scowl and sit forward again. The teacher had already started. He is incredible distracting.

"----so get together with your partners and start working."

I put my head down on the desk. I was hoping she was going to lecture today. Plus I just stopped talking to him.

I feel a tap on my shoulder. I look up and Samuel is looking at me.

I pick my head back up. "Okay can we get some work done?"

"Oh yeah, i..."

"Hey Sam, I had a great time with you last night."

I hear an annoying voice say. It was Heather. He turns around and said, "Oh yeah who wouldn't?"

Wow, I guess Friday meant nothing to him. Oh wait it meant nothing to me either. So it doesn't matter... Right?

She giggles. "Yeah, how about we get together again on Friday."

Pushing down the jealousy that I definitely didn't feel, making me want to rip her head off. I most positively didn't want to rip her head off. I look at "Sam." Waiting for his response.
He seems to be considering the question. He glances at me behind him then looks back at Heather.

He shakes his head. "Sorry can't me and Nicole here,"he puts his arm on my shoulders," we have to do a project thing on Friday"

Happy and irritated that he didn't ask if I had any plans Friday before he made plans with me. But then the happiness over coming that feeling because he was choosing me over Heather.

Heather turns her gaze on me as if she hadn't noticed me this whole time and frowns. "Who would you want to hang out with this big nosed fiend."

My heart drops then flares up. I feel my face getting hot with embarrassment and fury. I clench my hands into fists to keep me from punching her in the face. Soon all I see is blurry images due to tears but I force them back refusing to let them know that that remark bothered me.

I want my best friends here.

I suck in a breath to say something. Hopefully not even worse and worth it but before I can I hear Samuel speak up.

"Everybody Heather." His voice his concentrated and low like he's holding back from doing something.

"If I hear you are insulting her again you will be black and blue and in the earth."

I take in a breath quickly. Did he just insinuate that he would kill her for insulting me? Part of me was flattered that he cared... He cared... Wait he cares?

Heathers face is pale and she looks like she wants to cry. I feel smug. She gives me a last look and staggers away. I look at Samuel and he's breathing hard staring at his desk with his face red and clenched fists. I put my hand in his shoulder and he jerks away and storms out the room with Mrs. Paul yelling after him to get back in to class.
