To Dream A Dream

Jimberly is not a cute couple name (Sam's Pov)

"Hey, Car-Car, what's up?" I replied. "WE HAVE TO TALK NOW!" Caramel screamed like a banchee into my phone as I pulled my ear away. Somehow, I knew she was going to do that, so predictable actually. "Kayy, whatever, why so sudden though?" I asked unsure. Caramel has been acting differently. "DRESS UP, WE'LL BE THERE IN 5!" She answered so fast, I didn't dodge that scream. "OW, CARA-! Hello?" I heard a click on the other line. "...Car-Car?" I shrugged and I jumped as my phone vibrated.

From: Caramel

4...

I jumped up and ran upstairs to change. I quickly tucked my 'I don't trip, I do random gravity check' shirt into my sweatpants and somehow managed to snatch a bag on the way out, but didn't grab a pair of decent shoes. I jumped into the car with my hair frizzy. "Where're your parents, Sam?" Cassidy backed out of the drive way. "Gone... Like always," I mumbled the last part. "What was that?" "Gone." "Oh."

"Where's Jenna?" "Already at the mall," Caramel replied. I was excepting Caramel to tell me what she wanted to talk about, but decided it was best if all four of us were here. Cassidy glanced at me, "That's what you choose to wear?" She asked kinda disgusted. "Five minutes, Cassidy. FIVE, REMEMBER?" She went silent after that. We walked into the mall and I suddenly regreted it. "Ok, so, first we have to find Jenna." And I stopped listening then because I saw Jamie. I hid been a plant as Cassidy and Caramel walked away, leaving me to look lonely and lost and dumb and ugly by myself! I turned the other way and I met the queen of divas. Kimberly. "Hey, Sammie-Hammie!" I *cough* fake *cough* smiled. "Hi..." "What're you doing here?"

I looked up at her, "I'm hunting zebras." "More like Jamies." She smiled, " Listen stay away from him, he's nothing but trouble." She coughed, changing her tone. "He doesn't like you." Ow, I think I heard my heart crack at those words. My heart was completely crashed. Dying. Holding onto a single thread of hope. "He's with me." I looked at him. His sweet, sweet smile. Those bright eyes... Those auburn- he looked up at us and Kimberly waved. His smile vanished. I guess he doesn't like the sight of me. He shifted from his seat and hurriedly made his way over, but I ran. Ran away from that face with sadness and concern at least that's what I'm hoping it was. Ran from the arms I wanted to wrap me. Ran from the person I cared for so much. I ran into the bathroom. I guess I was so caught up in the moment, I hadn't noticed that I started to cry. I don't remember feeling the hot tears roll onto my cheeks. The pain, it was so unbearable. I wiped away the tears. Smile. My lips curved up, but looked crooked.

I couldn't even smile right. I sighed and pinched my cheeks for color. I walked our and at the exact time Cassidy dragged me into Jumba Juice. "Where were you?" I was about to answer, but the pain demanded to be felt. "Nevermind that, so I've been noticing something weird since the sleepover and I wanna talk about it," Caramal started.
