More than Friends?

Hi my name is Savanna,Savanna Grace Manning. And my life forever changed when Samuel Asher Stone or Samuel for short, moved to Santa Monica,California.

I was a very quite girl. I made good grades and had my nose in a book so much I wasn't aloud to read in some classes in school. But that never stopped me to read at home. When I read, I thought the author understood me.

I was a hopeless romantic in books,and I imagined that one day the perfect guy would come. Just like in the books. Even though the authors where probably cat ladys and never had a bit of romance. I still hoped that that one guy would come and be the guy I read so long for.

My family was a church based home. My mom was extremely religious and cried way to much. We where a basic Christian family. Even though my mom was extremely religious my parents didn't in force anything like our modestly, language, and with my mom boyfriends but my Dad on the other hand, every boyfriend I ever had, if you could even call them one, my dad new more about them then me. My sister Elise, was out of the house so I was like a only child except I had a demon little brother Lucas, that just hit puberty. Its scary to see him grow up so fast but the scarier thing is how many girls he hits on.

One of my dad's rules was that he really didn't want to share me with any other guys but him and my brother so it stayed like that for a while. Until sixteen year old Savanna secretly dated . Every single realationship crashed and sometimes I thought I was going to be that cat lady all my favorite book writers where. I went back to books. Never anything like the Shades of Grey series, but just cute little love storys.And I gave up on dating for a while,until Samuel moved to town.

It was Sunday and we of course were on our way to church. I was wearing a long to the floor dress. It was thin and see through on the bottom skirt part,the slip under just hit my lower thigh. The bottom was black and the top was white. The top was short sleeve and had silver studs on the shoulders and long slit down the back of the shirt until the top of the high waisted long skirt touched. I wore silver sandals and a long silver necklace with little charms on it.

It was the first week of summer and it still felt like spring. As we drove up to church I took in the new landscape of varieties of flowers,and the vast green plants .

We walked in and took our seats. I was looking around for Scarlett when I saw her, I waved. Scarlett has long blonde naturally straight hair with a medium figure,her eyes are A mixture of blue and mostly green. She wore little to no makeup but she was perfect without it. She was wearing a light blue high low dress with a thin white belt at her waist that she showed me earlier,this week.She was a good church friend,but we weren't really that close I noticed a new family sitting directly behind her and her family to.

Their was a boy that looked around my age and a younger girl a little older looking than Lucas. He had dark brown wavy hair,and tan skin with a freckle on his neck. He had broad shoulders,and a white button up shirt on.But thats all I could see. His sister looked the same,but with long dark brown wavy hair, that covered her shoulders so I couldn't see what she was wearing.Then he turned around. He had tempting dark brown eyes,and full pink lips,his jaw line firm,and he had a freckle above the left side of his lip and smaller freckles on his cheeks,and nose. He had tan skin and his eyebrow game was strong,and I could tell that he was tall around 6.2 even though he was sitting down. Man he was cute.

After staring at him without knowing I came back to the realization that I was staring and all of a sudden he smiled. Directly at me. It reminded me of a quote I read "When I saw you I fell in love and you smiled because you knew."

(SAMUEL POV.)

I looked back to look at the clock and was distracted when I saw a beautiful girl. She had curled light brown to dark blonde Ombré hair to her bottom with long bangs or a piece of hair pulled back,and piercing blue eyes that would make any guy want her,her lips perfectly plump and pink, and her face features soft and delegate, she wore makeup but it was natural and not caked on. She was skinny but not to skinny and she was tall,probably four inches shorter than me. Man she was pretty.

(SAVANNA POV.)

The church service was just ending now so I got up to leave for Sunday School. To my surprise as I walked out the mystery man walked out behind me.

He said, "Hey?" I turned around and did a friendly closed mouth smile. "I saw you in the chapel and I couldn't help but ask your name?" Savannah? You know you could be a rapist for all I know. He chuckled softly,man he was even hotter standing right by me."Yeah I'm a rapist that goes to church with his family,well I know your creative now." I giggles slightly. So what's your name? "Samuel." That's a nice name. "Yeah thanks my parents gave it to me,so you can thank them. Wait did I say that aloud sorry I'm just nervous. Your gorgeous you known that right?" I giggles again but this time a little louder." "He chuckled, thanks uh hey maybe we should hangout some time?" Yeah! That would be fun give me your phone. I put my name in and my number then handed it back to him. I then gave him my phone ,and he did the same,then handed it back. "Thanks, I'll text you when I get home ok?" Slightly blushing I said,Yeah sure.

We took a long looked at each other again until Samuel said,"You look around my age can you tell me where the tenth graders,or fifteen year olds go? " Yeah of course. We slowly walked together to the room. Then Samuel said,"Don't forget to text me!" How could I forget. I said as we approached the room I could here the people in there.

Our church in all is very small so our group is pretty small having a 2:1 ratio of guys to girls. As we get closer I can here the guys. We stood in front of the door. I said ok this is it. I named the guys then the girls then said you pick, and walked over to sit by Scarlett. The guys openly invited him to sit with them but he was still sitting next to me. He then whispered,"Thanks,for helping me get here,and find a seat. Really thanks." I commented back to his remark just as the teacher walks in to start class.I think I'm going to have a good summer after all.
