Wicked Games

Chapter 3

The first week of school passed by slowly, it was weird getting into the swing of things again. Not to mention that Sam thought he was best friends forever with Alex so he always ate lunch with us. Well, he ate lunch with them. I woke up Saturday morning around 9:30 and walked down stairs to an empty house.

Austin-

Went to Chapel Hill for the weekend with Dad to visit Grandma and Grandpa. We'll be home late Sunday night. There's money and food in the fridge.

Love, Mom

"Great my parents have more of a life than I do." I huffed and went to the cupboard and poured my self a bowl of Frosted Flakes then went up stairs to take a shower.

Showers were always a time of reflection for me. Whether it was some random occurrence that happened throughout the week or over thinking some life situation.

Flashback:

"Shhh Sam we have to be quiet." My words were slurred as we stumbled drunkly into my house.

Sam laughed, "I'm being quiet. You're the one who's yelling."

"Austin? Is that you." Dad called from his room.

"Yeah Dad I'm just getting some water." I tried not to laugh as I answered my Dad then grabbed Sams hand and pulled him into my room.

"Austin?" Sam whispered as we laid on the overhang of my house looking up at the stars.

"Yeah?"

"Come to Florida with me. I couldn't imagine a year with out you."

"I'll look into it." I smiled up at the greatest thing I had.

I hated the fact I chose Florida Gulf Coast University because of Sam. I remembered calling him right after I made my verbal commitment. He was so happy we could stay together, I still have no idea what went wrong. I don't remember ever upsetting him in anyway, I don't remember ever doing anything to really piss him off. My parents loved him, his parents loved me. When I told my mom that Sam and I had broken up she thought I was joking. I wish I was, I really wish I was. After I finished my shower I got dressed and grabbed my computer and walked downstairs to sit on the couch in the living room where the wifi is better.

New Message from: Alex

Austinn facetime me I gotta talk to you.

"Alex hey whats up?" I asked

"Nothing but I found out some information about why Sam transferred."

"What?!" I gasped and sat up.

"Okay so apparently the school recommended he transfer because he had an inappropriate relationship with a teacher."

My eyes got huge, "Shut the fuck up you're lying."

"Swear my friend Madison told me that the teacher that he had it with left this year too."

"Holy shit Alex. I wonder what happened." My voice trailed off as I thought of all the old teachers Sam would tell me about.

"Well if you would just be friends with him we wouldn't have this problem now would we?" Alex gave me a look and then looked back at his computer.

"I don't intend to be friends with someone who fucks me over like that."

"Yeah but Austin you should at least give him the benefit of the doubt and talk to him." Alex tried explaining but there was an awkward silence after he said that, "Soo Austin what are you doing tonight."
