Just Other Teen?

Chapter 6: Trouble

RIGN! RING! RING!

Goddamn alarm. I slapped my phone so the stupid alarm would turn off. Time for school/ talk to Jake about what happened last night.

Get your lazy ass out of bed already Sam.

Isn't the inner voice meant to be motivating?

I got up and went into the bathroom. And picked up my clothes. Shorts and hoodie today. I love hoodies they're my life.

I brushed my hair and put it into a bun which eventually is gonna get fucked up anyway.

"Sam are you up yet?!" Mom yelled from downstairs

"Yeah mom I'm on my way down now!" I yelled back

On my way down I slipped into my sneakers.

I got my bowl and put my cereal and milk in. After a few minutes the bus beeped the horn.

"Bye mom!" I hugged my mom and got my school bag.

"Bye honey" she replied

I got out of the house and onto the bus. I sat next to Amanda. Jake was also there.

"Hey Sam!" Amanda exclaimed.

"Heyyyy!" I replied

"Hey Jake aren't you gonna say hi to Sam?" Amanda asked Jake. Why did she have to say that?

"Um... Yeah..." Jake ruffled his hair "hi Sam"

"Hey Jake" I tried to sound as casual as I could but there was shakiness in my voice.

"Ok guys what's wrong? Why are you two acting all weird now?" Amanda butted in.

"Nothing's wrong Amanda... Don't worry about it..." I said to her.

"Fine whatever don't tell me then" she replied back in a cold tone.

The bus stopped and the door opened. "Alright everyone have a nice day" Greg (the bus driver) said. We all got into a queue to get out of the bus.

"Bye Greg" I said to him before I left.

"Bye Sam" Greg might be old but he has a really kind heart.

Time for Chemistry. I hate Mondays, they suck. I just wanna go home and sleep. Me and my bed can be best friends. "Earth to Sam, do you copy?" Amanda waved her hand in front of my face.

"Yeah?"

"Start explaining missy" I had a bad feeling that she might say that. Jake trusts me not to tell anyone his secret. Oh well I'll just cover it up along the way but I have to get advice about the kiss thingy.

I looked around just to make sure Jake wasn't around. Thankfully he had already gone.

"Me and Jake almost kissed?" It sounded more like a question when I told her...

Amanda's jaw hung open "WHAT?!" She said. "When? How? Why?"

"It was on the weekend. He was over at my house and..." ok I need something to cover up the part where Jake tells his story "I ate so much chocolate that I eventually fainted" smooth Sam, really smooth "when I woke up, Jake was looking at me and then we moved in closer but then mom came and Jake left" hopefully she believes the story...

"You fainted from eating too much chocolate?!" She started laughing. Just to make it look casual I decided to laugh too.

"Yep" I replied, popping the 'p'

"That's funny"

"I know right"
