"Fuck" Sam whispers

"Can I talk to you three for a moment?"

The security guard says to Nate Jack And Sam.
The kid behind the security guard is laughing. Might as well beat this kid up myself.

They're walking down the hallway and Sam's got his fists clenched. He better not go for a fucking round two.

"Hey Amara!"
I turn around to see Cameron jogging to me.
"What was that all about?"

"Oh it was just some fag calling me a whore because of the picture with Jack"

"Oh i've been meaning to ask you about that"

Here we go

"It's not real, why would I do that?"
I blurt.

"I figured, but I just wanted to make sure" he doesn't look totally sure though.

"So now that that's over.. you wanna come over tomorrow?"
He says looking down.

" Aww look at nervous cam, so cute. Of course I wanna come, what time?" "5?"

"It's a date"
I say smiling.
"Great"
He kisses my cheek and walks off.

"Ooh someone's gotta boyfriend"
Johnson says from behind.

" Shit I forgot you were there!"

"Happens all the time"
"Aww""

"Come on let's just go bail them out"

We walk to the office and ask the secretary where the boys are

" they're going to be a while, I suggest you guys head off to class before you are late and in trouble also"

" thank you ma'am but I have to wait for my brother, we have to stay together"
I say trying to put a worried look on my face.

"He'll be fine, along with the other two boys." She says looking at Jack.

" Have a good day now kids"

"Thanks"
I mumble, Looking disappointed.

We walk out of the office and start walking to class. I have first period with my brother and now I have to sit here by myself, scared as hell about the state he is in.

I walk towards the door.. but pass it. There's too much on my mind right now.

I'm walking towards the front doors when someone calls out my name.

I ignore whoever was calling me and decide to head to the gym.

Not really an ideal place to go, but playing gets my mind off of things.

I switch the lights on and grab one of the basketballs

I decide to turn the light off because there is still some light from the sunlights

after a few misses, shots, some tears and a corner shot, i hear someone open the door.

I ignore whoever it is and keep shooting.

"Amara?"

I turn and see Cam walking towards me, he sees me and his smile vanishes.

"what's wrong" He says sternly but while staying calm.

Honestly half of me wants to run into his arm, but the other half is telling me not to move.

Guess which side is winning?

"nothing i'm fine"

"do you really think i'm going to believe that bullshit?"

I drop the ball softly and walk over to him.

"I'm just stressed, and worried.. What's going to happen to Sam? If he gets suspended one more time they're going to kick him out. I already have to deal with this photoshopped shit, I'm just not up for any of this right now"

"I understand, but Sam is going to be able to hold his own, wherever he ends up going, and we'll get to the bottom of the picture okay? We just have to make sure we focus on the happy things"

Yeah, WAY easier said then done.
