A Little Bit of Everything and Everyone

Just Friends? (Sammy Wilk) pt. 2

A few moments after Sam leaves, Jennah comes in and sits at her desk.

"You guys are done studying already?" she asks.

"I guess," I tell her. I move from my desk chair to my bed, occupying the space my best friend was just in.

"Woah, what's wrong?" Jennah questions, apparently catching sight of the depressing look on my face.

"Nothing, I'm fine."

"No you're not. Selena! T! Get in here, Rachel is having a crisis!" Moments later we're all squished onto my little twin sized bed.

"What's up?" Tiana asks.

"Sam is totally ditching me for Stas and I'm trying not to get in the way of his relationships but I've barely saw him all semester. We promised that college wouldn't split us apart but it kinda is. I miss him. But I can't tell him that because it'll make me sound like a jealous girlfriend and I don't wanna sound like that."

"Sam's kind of an idiot for letting a girl get in between him and his best friend since birth. Didn't the same thing happen when he was dating that Claire chick?" Selena asks.

"Yeah. Almost the exact same thing. Except I'm not friends with Stas, she's just a girl in my math class."

"Rachel, we all can see the way Sam looks at you. He'd do anything for you honestly. You should just tell him what you told us. He'll understand."

"Wait, what do you mean 'the way Sam looks at me'?"

"Like he'd take a bullet for you. Like he would cross oceans for you," Jennah tells me.

"Like you're the greatest thing that's ever happened to him," says Selena.

"Like you're the only person in a room full of people," intercedes Tiana.

"Honestly, if I didn't know any better, I'd say he was in love with you," Jennah continues. My eyes widen.

"In love with me? No way. I'm totally not his type."

"Rachel you're everyone's type. Why don't you just admit, to us and yourself, that you love him too?"

"I do love him. Like a brother. Nothing else."

"So it doesn't bother you to see him with girl after girl?" Jennah asks.

"It doesn't bother you that he's always with Stas?" Selena questions.

"It doesn't bother you that he doesn't ever seem to have time for you because he's with her?" Tiana intercedes. I sigh.

"It does bother me I guess. I don't know. I don't want to start something to see if it works and then ruin our friendship."

"Girl you've been best friends FOREVER. Nothing could ruin your friendship," Tiana tells me.

"So what do I do?" I ask the other three girls.

"MAKE A MOVE!" they all yell at me.

"Uh when? He's out with Stas right now and I'm supposed to be working on a group project."

"Just go to his room in like an hour and see if he's there. Meanwhile, you can change because no offence but you look kinda ratchet homegirl," Jennah tells me. I narrow my eyes at her.

"Just sayin'," she says. I crack a smile as I push her off the bed so I can get up.

"Not funny Rach," she says from the floor. The rest of us laugh.
