Our Never Ending Love..// Sam Pottorff

Chapter 16

Sam's POV

I went to the counselors a few days ago, she and I talked about schools, and my grades. Apparently my grades are good enough for UA, but if I want a scholarship I need to apply now.

I have always been involved with sports and school activities, so it should be easy to get recommendations from teachers.

"Hey babe, let's get out of here for the day... Maybe you can help me with college apps?" I say coolly.

"What? College apps! I thought college wasn't your thing! But still college yay!"

"Yeah, I know I said that, but if I want to be anything in life... College needs to be my best friend." I debate whether or not to tell her I am applying to UA. She's looking at me "like tell me what you are fucking hiding", I don't know if I should look away, or continue the awkward stare that's going on.

"What school are you wanting to apply to?" She questions me.

"Well... I was talking to Mrs. Acosta and she told me my grades are outstanding, and she said that with all the activities, and sports that I have been involved with, it should be easy to get recommendations from all my teachers." I ramble so fast she probably didn't even catch what I said.

"You still didn't tell me what school." She giggles. She's so cute!

"Oh yeah, we'll my top three are UCLA, UT Austin, and UA." Her eyes light up, almost like I lit a fire inside her. She doesn't speak, I start to get worried.

"Sam! UA! Really, we are going to be together forever!" She jumps on me.

"Really? You don't think I'm a stalker do you?"

"No! Of course not, I think it's better! But I don't want you coming if you are trying to follow me. I want you to follow your dreams and not come with me to chase mine, if that makes sense?" I start to think am I going for her or me.

Laila's POV

When Sam tells me about UA, I feel over the moon. Sam and I will be that couple that gets married. Take it down a notch Laila, your going a little overboard here.

"Babe, can you take me home after school, so I can pick up my laptop and essay folders for UCLA so you can physically take the essay to the dean." I trail off and catch staring with a French fry between his fingers.

"Sorry, your just so beautiful!"

"Oh shut up" I swat his arm. "I think we have passed the puppy dog phase dork."

"I'm sorry I just don't think you realize the beauty of yourself. I love you eyes, so big and when they squint when you smile. Your nose, and when something bothers you, you crinkle like nobody is watching. And your smile, it's my favorite feature. When you look out of the corner of your eye, then flash a full bright smile." He lifts my chin and I look in his eyes. What's up with him.

"Are you drunk or high?" He laughs.

"No! Just having fun." Oh my shit he's high. What the hell I had no clue he was one of those.

"Get off of me. I'm taking you home. I can't believe you right now Sam!" I push his arm off and walk towards the exit of the diner. He follows behind, giggling.

I get to his place, and see Jc's car there. I pull into his driveway and take a breather before getting out of the car. When I look over to him I see him fast asleep. I go in and leave him in the car.

"Hey is anyone home?" I yell.

"Yeah I'm here upstairs. It's me Jc!" He yells back.

"Can you come down here for a minute. I have a little situation!" He comes down and I guide him to the car.
