How to Change a Bad Boy

Chapter 2 - Challenge Accepted

I'm sitting at my desk in my room wondering what to do now that I've finished my homework, but my mind is blank. Mom’s at work, so I decide to call Serena and Beck to see if they wanna hang out. I dial Serena first, and she answers after the second ring.

“Hey Sammy! What’s up?”

“Hey Siri, I’m bored you wanna hang out?”

“Yeah sure I’m not doing anything, Should I call beck?

“Yes please, I’ll get some movies and popcorn ready, see you in 5?”

“Sounds good! See ya!”

With that I hang up and head downstairs. Not knowing what movie to watch, I gather 5 of my favourites and decide to leave the choice to the girls. I walk in the kitchen and pop a bag of popcorn in the microwave setting the timer. As i stand and wait for the kernels the pop, i hear noises coming from upstairs. Now, let me just say. Ive seen plenty of scary movies, and they were great, really terrifying and good at sending chills down my spine. But this was actually happening, and i much preffered watching it happen to the people in the screen. Though if this was a haunted movie and it was a ghost, i wouldnt be scared at all. Im one of those people who would be so excited to see a ghost that i wouldnt be running away, id chase it. And id want a picture with it, and if it really wanted to, id let it kill me, just because i think it would so awesome! Yeah i know, im a weirdo.

Once again though, unfortunitely, this was not a movie, and whatever was making that noise was not  casper the friendly ghost.

I turn the corner of the kitchen and face the staircase. I turned all the lights off when i came down, and was kicking myself for it now. 

I hear the noise again, but louder this time, like a big thump. I slowly make my way upstairs and hear the noise again, coming from my room. I gulp and slowly creep on my knees to my door. I probably look like an idiot right now but I don’t really care. I reach my door and right as I'm about to push it, it swings open revealing a dark figure standing above me. I scream in a pitch so high id probably win an oscar for it, and creep backwards on the floor until my back hits the wall.

The figure starts walking towards me with their hands covering their ears until he kneels in front of me and i see his familiar face.

“Holy crap Sam what the hell!?”

“Michael?” I squint my eyes at him and he turns the hallway light on. Sitting in front of me is my boyfriend, Michael, with a very worried look on his face. He inches closer to me examining my face.

“Are you ok? I'm so sorry I didn’t mean to scare you!” He explains as I breathe a sigh of relief and throw my arms around his neck tackling him to the ground.

“I missed you so much! What are you doing here I thought you stayed with your parents until December? And why the hell did you climb through the window? Theres this new invention called 'the door' ya know!” He propped himself up on one elbow and I did the same after letting him go (which I didn’t really wanna do). He gave a slight laugh at my rushed words and finally spoke,

“Well firstly, I missed you too, secondly, I climbed up ‘cause I wanted to surprise you like old times, and finally actually I said I was only going to stay with my parents until I find a place of my own, and well, I did” He gave me a bright smile, which I returned.

“Wait so, you're staying?” I asked slowly and carefully, not wanting to get high hopes, he laughed again.

“Yes Sam, I'm staying.” I squealed and threw my arms around him again, and he lied on his back with me on top of him. I lifted my head to look at him, and smiled a genuine smile which is something I haven’t done since he left. He gently put his hand on my cheek, and I looked lovingly into his eyes. We both smiled again and finally closed the gap between us and he kissed me gently. His lips were so soft, and I got the familiar tingles across my body. We were about to deepen the kiss when we were very rudely interrupted.
