As I woke up for school, I immediately dreaded the day. I never imagined school without Aria, and it's not like I had any other friends. I slowly got ready, listening to music and sipping on some hot chocolate. As soon as I was done, I made my way to my car and was unfortunately off to school. The day went by fairly slowly until Sam and Nate stopped me in the parking lot during lunch.

    "Hey, Cor" Sam said grabbing my hand. I looked at him with a confused look. "Have you seen Jack?"
    "Why would I have seen Jack?"

    "Don't you have art with him?" Nate asked me and I slowly nodded my head "So did you see him in there?"
    "I don't think so. I had my headphones in and worked on my project the whole time." I began to walk away until Sam began talking once again, the last thing I wanted was any sort of contact with any of them. Sure, these two didn't do anything but I still would rather avoid their company.

    "He's not at school, he never misses school. And he hasn't answered any of our texts or calls. Nate left during third period to his house but no one is home. His car isn't even there. We're worried Cor, we thought maybe he talked to you?" Sam asked looking completely hopeless

    "He hasn't said anything to me. Have you asked Jaye?" I cringed at even saying her name

    "Yea, she doesn't know either" Nate spoke

    "Well..." I sighed "I wish you guys the best of luck, I'm sure he will come back to school tomorrow" I smiled at them and finally walked away to my car. As I looked up, Sam was still staring at me while I started up my car so I could run the heater. But he quickly turned around as we made awkward eye contact and walked away. That was odd, I do hope Jack is okay.

As I arrived home, I opened up my laptop and began working on my essay. I wasn't due until finals, but I figured I may as well get it done since I have no social life at the moment. I sat in the guest house family room listening to christmas music and writing about how Gatsby was so great, when I heard the front door open and close.

    "On a scale from one to ten, how shitty do you think my day went Sasha?" I giggled typing

    "Hopefully one" I heard from a voice that was not my sister I completely jumped when I turned around

    "Sam, what the hell are you doing here? At my house? With no warning?" I looked at him as I stood up from my couch

    "I'm sorry, I just didn't know where to go and before I knew it,  was here" He said looking down

    "Well, did you need something?" I said

    "Someone to talk to" He scratched the back of his neck shyly, and I slowly smiled.

    "What's up?" I walked towards him

    "It's stupid, and I usually go to Jack about these types of things but he's nowhere to be found. Nate is high as a kite, and Johnson is busy-" Sam continued before I cut him off

    "Hey, it's okay. I'd love to talk to you. What's going on?"

    "I um, well I have feelings for this girl. But I know that I am not supposed to have feelings for this girl" He looked flustered

    "You know what? Let's go for a drive" I smiled standing up and grabbing my keys. I decided to drive Sam through the Hollywood Hills as he spoke about his dream girl.

    "Thank you so much for this Cor" I turned to look at him, he saw smiling and looking out the window

    "I actually may have needed this more than you did Sammy"
    "Huh? What do you mean?" He asked

    "Well, I mean Aria and I aren't friends anymore and you guys seemed occupied with that Jaye girl. I don't know, I really enjoyed your company tonight" I blushed

    "Are you serious Cor? I could not ever see myself caring more about Jaye's current lip gloss emergency than your amazing company" He began as I parked facing a cliff drop off, which showed all of LA.

    "Sam" I turned

    "No, I don't think you have noticed, but me and the guys really care about you. You're one of our best friends Cora" He looked me in the eyes, and I could tell that he was being completely genuine.

    "Thank you so much for saying that-" I smiled

    "I mean it" he nodded. It was getting dark and I figured we should start heading back home, on the drive there Sam and I spoke about countless different topics.

    "So you're saying, that you would rather fly than teleport" I giggled

    "Oh 100%" He laughed as well

    "There's no way, if you teleport than you are automatically where you want to be"

    "But think about how dope it would be to fly places" He shook his head

    "Agree to disagree I guess" I laughed once again. We parked outside my house and right next to Sam's car. "This was a lot of fun" I smiled

    "We definitely have to do it again, you're amazing" He said which caused me to blush. Don't get me wrong, Sam is such a cutie. But I don't think I could ever like him, at least not right now. Plus, no matter how many times I see Jaye flirting with Jack, I'm still stuck on him. I hugged Sam goodbye and made my way back to my house. So much for a finished essay.
