There and Back

Chapter 6

The next day at school, we had Mr. Randolph first.

" Good morning class. Yesterday, I only had you for attendance so today we're going to play a little game." he said, with a huge smile.

" I hope it's not one of those stupid games we played in first grade." Kate whispered in my ear.

" Mrs. Morgan, would you like to share something?"

" No, just that, I don't want to be treated like a 1 year old." she snapped.

" Just for that, mrs. Morgan, you have got yourself a detention." he said

" Why don't I just have it now, that way I can skip this stupid class."

" What are you doing?" I asked through gritted teeth.

" I hate this guy. Every year I seemed to have him! He moved to this school from the middle school. Like me!" she replied out loud.

" Two detentions Mrs. Morgan." he snapped, " Now, no more interuptions or I will have you suspended."

" Shut up Kate!" I whisper yelled at her.

" Fine."

The rest of the class was alrirght other than the intense staring between Mr. Randolph and Kate. Somehow, Kate lasted without getting suspended. At lunch we saw Sam, John and Jake sitting at a table. We walked over and straight away started talking.

" Mr. Randolph gave me detention." Kate blurted out.

" Again? He's at this school?" John asked, shocked.

" Mr. Randolph's like a stalker. He's every where." Sam whispered into my ear.

" Yup, he's never at one place long." John added.

We talked about him a little while longer when I noticed him looking in our direction.Good thing I noticed him too because that conversation was lasting forever.

" I was thinking maybe we could go to the movies tonight." Sam said.

" Yea, but I wouldn't be able to go because I have 1 and a half hours with Mr. Spoilsport after school." Kate mumbled.

" Well if Kates not going, I'm not going." John said proudly, " Anyway, Randolph gave me detention too."

" Jake?" Sam asked.

" Na, got lots of homework." he replied sitting there with lots of papers in front of him.

" I'll be able to go. I'm not going to leave you alone at a movie theatre." I said with a grin.

" Yay!" Sam exclaimed, " Just me and Kristina."

At the end of the school day, I met up with Sam. He was standing by a car, swinging around keys.

" Looks like someone got their drivers licence." I said, poking him in the belly.

" Yea, mom and dad got me the car yesterday." he said with an ear to ear smile on his face.

" Cool, so let's get going!" I said excitedly..

Sam opened the door for me to get n then ran to the other side to get in himself. We drove for a while in complete silence.

" So, Kristina," Sam started, " I was wondering, since it's only the two of us, after the movie we could maybe go to dinner? I'd pay."

" That sounds great!" I replied, enthusiastically

We were out until about ten o'clock. After Sam payed the bill, we got in the car and Sam drove me home. I must've dozed off because when the car stopped I could hear Sam open my door. I was never a heavy sleeper so it half- woke me up.

" Shh." Sam whispered as he took of my seatbelt, " Go to sleep. I've got you." and he picked me up and took me over to my house. When he knocked on the door, I heard it open.

" Oh dear, come in Sam." mom said

" Sorry about waking you up." Sam apologized whle stepping in, " It's just that she fell asleep in the car."

" No, no, it's alright. Anyhow, it's a bit late for driving, would you like to sleep here for the night?" mom asked.

" I'd be delighted to Mrs. Roset." he said polietly.

" Call me Mary," She said, with a grin, " You can sleep anywhere other than my room."

" Okay thank you." he said and walked to my room. He placed me gently, down on my bed and went to ask my mom what I normally sleep in.

She probably told him i sleep in my underwear, I thought. By the time he got back up, I was out cold.

At miidnight, I could feel someones arm wraped around me. I could also hear snoring right next to me.

" Sam, get up." I sad sleepily wacking him wth a pillow.

He yawned and asked, " Is it morning already?"

" No, but your snoring woke me up." I said turning to face him.

" Sorry, now go back to sleep." he said pretending to close my eyes for me. I tried to sleep for a while and when I finally gave up trying. I lay there for a bit listening to Sam's steady breathing. I finally felt my eyes close and my body go limp.

Beep Beep Beep

I heard my alarm go off. I turned around to wake Sam up then I noticed how cute he was asleep. He had a bit of stubble and messy hair. I hit the snooze button and crept downstairs to make breakfast. I made pancakes and waffles seeing as I didn't know what he liked. While I was making coffe, I heard someone thumping down the stairs.

" Good morning!" I said cheerfully handing Sam a cup of coffe.

" Good morning." he said sleepilly while hugging me with his free arm, " Mind if I have a shower after breakfast?"

" Nah, oh and by the way, mom left me a note that said school's been cancelled for today. She's taken Megan to a daycare and she left us her work number if we needed anything." I said leaning into him. He still hadn't put on a shirt yet so I could see his abs. It was so hard not to look at them so I ended up looking into his eyes, his beautiful blue eyes.

Damn, I thought, He's all beautiful.

" MMMMMM! Waffles!" Sam yelled

" Dig in." I said.

After lots of waffles and pancakes later, Sam ran up to take a shower.

" Hey, Kristina!" He yelled down to me, " Do you have anything I can shave with."

" Yes, because I shave every morning." I said sarcastically, " You can just leave it."

He came back down with the shirt and pants he wore yesterday. He plopped down on the couch, turned on the tv and patted his lap. I walked over and plopped myself down next to him. When I sat down Sam muted the TV and turn to look me in the eyes.

" Kristina, I need to ask you something serious." he said as he took my hands. I could see in his eyes that he was nervous about something.

" Okay." I said. He looked so cute when he was trying to be serious. His eyes twinkled as I looked at them. His unshaved face looked so tense when it was always relaxed. I heard him mumble something but I couldn't make it out really easily.

" Sorry, what did you say?" I asked. I could tell whatever he was going to tell me was a little hard for him.

" W-will you be my girlfriend?" he asked shyly.

" Yes!" I screemed.

" What?" he asked excitedly.

" Don't you listen to your girlfriend?" I replied smuggly as I plopped down on his lap to give him a hug.

" You are going to be my first girlfriend." he said , pecking my cheek.

" And you'll be my first boyfriend." I replied turning to face him. Our faces were merely inches apart.

" I guess here is a first for everything." Sam managed to say before pulling me in and pressing his lips against mine.
