More Than Friends (Sam Pottorff fan fic)

Chapter 1: Putting everything on the table

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

My alarm rings, waking me up at 6;30 which should be just enough time to straighten my hair an pick out something for the first day of 12th grade!

That's right I'm a senior bitch!

While just finishing straightening my hair my phone starts buzzing on my night side table, I check to see who's calling me... The screen reads *sam my bby :* is calling* I answer and Sam informs me that he is picking me up 10 minutes earlier to talk

Why do we need to talk? Is something wrong? I hope that boys aren't leaving on tour again! I would have to survive 4 months without the boys! That would be absolute torture!

I pull out a pair of white high-wasted studded shorts and a light pink crop top and my baby blue toms and slip them on. I run downstairs to find my dad standing in the kitchen eating. I run to the fridge and grab an apple. I then leave and walk out to sams car without saying a word to my dad. He truly frightens me. The car ride was quiet at first, then sam cleared his throat and said "excited to be a senior?" I nodded my head as a reply. Confused he said "whats wrong?" "nothing, I'm what did you want to talk about?" he toke a shaky breath and let out "Marley look, We've known each other since pre-k and just a friendship isn't working out for me.." "so, you don't want to be friends anymore? We've known each other forvever we can't just end our friendship, I didn't do anything wrong... I don't think so anyways" I responded. Sam seemed shocked "No Marley, I don't want to end our friendship.. I want to be more than friends, I've been in love with you for a couple years now, I was just scared to tell you and that it might end our friendship.."

I know how sam is, he can be a bit of a jerk to girls sometimes, he's had some major screw-ups before and what would happen if he broke my heart, I always go to Jc for advice and all of O2L lives together, so if sam did break my heart I could never go there and ask Jc for advice, or anything for that matter. I don't know if I want a relationship with sam, he had been a total asshole in past relationships with girls, he would really have to earn my trust.

His next few words shocked me at first, he said "Marley, you know I've screwed up in the past, but can I please take you out after school and show you how good I can be too you?". We pulled up to a stop light and he glanced over at me. I took all the time I needed to make a decision. I looked over to him and my hazel eyes met his dark brown.

I replied "Yes you can, and yea I do know how you've screwed up in the past, which means you will really have to earn my trust if you want more than a relationship with me.." He nodded in agreement and put his foot on the gas. Minutes later we pulled into the school parking lot. All of the freshman were being loud as shit, so it took me a minute to realize sam said "meet me at my car at the end of the day"

My schedule is all over the place, I've got classes ranging from biology to history! My daily schedule is Math, Biology, Lunch, History then Science. 4/4 of my classes are with Jc. I have Biology, and History with sam. Biology with kian as well. Then me and all of o2l have Lunch, and History together! I walk into math and sit next to Jc, sam went and sat with his friend Dominic 'Dom'. Our teacher is Mrs.Rosar, she's a total pushover,, You basically walk into her class with a 100% and if you get lower than 50% on a test she takes 1% off your final grade. Jc looks over to me and asks "are you coming to the o2l house after school?".

I don't know how to respond, did sam tell Jc about taking me out? Did he want the guys to know? Should I tell him? Marley, shut up you tell Jc everything! TELL HIM

"No actually, sam is taking me out after school" I blurted out. Jc's face showing shock.. "Finally" he let out and I glanced at him confused. He said that sam has been telling him for almost a year that he likes me and has been waiting to ask me out! The bell rings and I walk down the hall to biology, and sit next to sam. The entire class sam nor I said anything to each other, this teacher was Ms.Milani, she was a total bitch, so even if sam wanted to say something he couldn't. Class was finished and sam said "I'll meet you and the boys in the caf" and rushed out of class. What's going on with him, why is he so rushed? I walk to the caf and grab a tray, fill it with food then go sit with the guys. 30 minutes later, sam isn't here still. They boys all questioned where he was and I shrugged an kept eating. I finished my food and got up to go search for him. I looked out the windows of the back of the school to see something that had formed tears in my eyes..
