Could It Be? (A Sam Woolf fanfiction)

Chapter 9

The kiss lasted for about 5 seconds, then we broke apart.

"Do you feel better now?" he asked me.

"Yes," I said, smiling.

"Good, do you want to go watch a movie?" he asked me.

"Um, I'm actually not really in the mood..." I said.

"Why not? Are you okay? Should I not have-" he said alarmed.

"No, no, I just want to know what you did after I left the school. Did Emily sat anything to you? Did you say anything to her?" I said.

"We said a few things to each other, nothing that really mattered," he said.

"Oh, okay, I'm just worried about going back to school. Kat looks mad at me...and I don't want to sit with them at lunch." I said, remembering how Kat wouldn't look at me.

"You can sit with me if you want, my friends are cool," he said.

"I don't know if they will like me..." I said.

"Oh c'mon, who wouldn't like you?"

"Apparently some people..." I mumbled.

"Just sit with me. Now let's go watch a movie. I'm in the mood for Star Wars!" He said, laughing.

"No, I am not watching that," I said. But he came over and picked me up off the ground.

"Ahh, Sam! Put me down!" I screamed, but mostly laughing.

"Haha never!" he said back as he carried me downstairs.

We got downstairs and he set me on the couch. We couldn't stop laughing, until it got to the point where we couldn't breath.

"Hahaha, oh my gosh, it's been so long since I laughed that hard," I said, out of breath.

"Ya, me too," he said back.

"So, what movie are we watching?' I asked, remembering it was his turn to pick.

"Star Wars," he said.

"No!" I said, laughing at the same time I said it because I knew he was kidding.

"Okay okay, how about...Insidios 2!" he said.

"No, I hate scary movies, they are so...scary," I said.

"O come on, that's the point! And we have ice cream, so if you eat it really fast, you'll get a brain freeze and forget how scary it is," he said.

I laughed. He was so funny, but he said that like he was serious. I really like him.

"Okay fine." So we went into the kitchen and got chocolate ice cream, which was his favorite.

We spent the rest of the night watching the movie, eating ice cream, screaming and laughing. It made me forget about all of the things that happened with Emily.

After the movie was over, it was only 7:30. Sam clicked off the TV and looked at me.

"What?" I said as I looked up at him.

"Nothing, you're just so beautiful," he said. For once, it felt like he actually meant it. I would usually just ignore a comment like that.

"Thank you," I said as I smiled.

We sat there for a couple minutes, his arms wrapped around me and my head on his shoulder.

Then he got up and stood in front of me.

"What are you doing?" I asked, confused.

"I have a question," he said.

"Yes?"

"Well, you are a really good singer, and you said I am good, so I think we should try out for American Idol," he said.

Wow, I hadn't even thought about that. But that would be so cool! I know that Sam would go really far, and maybe I would too.

"Omg, Sam, that would be awesome!" I said as I jumped up and hugged him.

"Great, I'm so glad that you said yes. I really want to try out," he said as he hugged me back.

"I do too, omg I'm so excited!" I said as I smiled.

"Well try outs are in two weeks, so do you know what song you are singing yet?" he asked me.

"No, but I have a few ideas."

One Week Later

As I sat on the couch browsing through Instagram, I noticed a picture of Kat. It was a picture of her with Emily at Starbucks.

After a week, we still haven't talked to each other. I sat with Sam at lunch for two days after what happened, but then started sitting with my biology partner, Miranda Salters. We have actually become good friends, for only knowing each other for a week.

I still didn't know why Kat was mad at me, but it was starting to bug me. She is my best friend.

"Hello?" she said on the other line. I decided to call her; I wanted to clear things up.

"Hey, it's Alyssa," I said, hoping she wouldn't hang up.

"Oh Alyssa, hey. . .I got to go-" she said, but I stopped her.

"Wait, Kat, I want to talk to you, I want to know why you are mad at me," I said.

"Why would you care?" she asked.

"Because you are my best friend! I miss you!" I said.

"But Emily said that you were only pretending to like me," she said.

I was stunned. How could she have done that? I never even did anything!

"Kat, she was lying. I swear. Why else would I have put up with you for the past, like, eight years?" I said, laughing. I heard her laugh a little bit too.

"I guess you are right. I actually don't know why I would believe her, I just met her...I'm sorry," she said.

"I'm sorry too. So are we good?" I asked.

"Ya, we are good," she said back.

"Great, because I have so much to tell you!"

I told her about everything that's happened; mostly me and Sam's dates and American Idol.

"Omg, your going on American Idol??!! You need something to wear!" She said, excited.

"Okay, we could go right now if you want, auditions are next week," I said.

At the mall, I ended up getting a pink loose skirt, a ruffled white top, and a necklace. I decided I would just wear a pair of shoes that I had at home.

It was nice to be hanging out with my best friend again.

One Week Later, Audition Day

As I looked in the mirror on the day of my audition, I began to get a little nervous. Actually, I was really nervous.

I remembered that Sam was the only person that has heard me sing.

I liked what I was wearing. I put some white heels with my outfit and curled my blonde hair.

I was done getting ready, so I went downstairs and went on my phone.

Then the doorbell rang. Sam was coming to pick me up at 2:00, and it was 1:55. I got up and opened the door.

"Hi Sam!" I said as I opened the door.

"Hey Myers! You look great!" He said as he gave me a hug.

"Thanks. So, ready to go?" I asked.

"Ya, lets go," he said.
