Skinny Love

Chapter 4: Awkwardness

Forth period

Sam's POV

"So far, today is going just swell.", I grumbled.

"Well today just started and I bet it ca-"

Before Maribel could finished she was knocked down by someone. You see this is why you don't run in hallways. I look to see it was the guy who sits next to Collin in homeroom. This was an awkward situation since the guys was looking straight into her eyes while on top of her. But I found it cute she was looking into his eyes too.

"S..Sam...a l...little help here?"

Theres my cue. The guy got off of her and I took out my hand so I could help her get up.

***RING!!!***

Great we are late. "Come on lets go. We don't want to be any more late than we are to Social Studies." I was already walking but Maribel was frozen. "Maribel!!"

"Oh uh coming."

Maribel's POV

I was frozen. Even though I saw Sam walking away, I still didn't move. The way he looked at me got me feeling weird. God, guys are weird.

"Maribel!!"

"Oh uh coming." I felt so weird...I wonder if he felt it too. We entered class and soon after us, some others came in late too.

"It is the second day and are still getting used to your scheduale, I will let you guys off the hook but I expect no more tardiness.", Mrs.Bue said.

I started thinking about him again. Get him out of your head Maribel! I chuckled. What a way to meet someone.

"Whats so funny?"

"Hm...oh nothing just that a guy ran into me." I said sarcastic.

"Ms. Anderson and Ms.Venezuela. Please no talking while I'm talking."

"Sorry Mrs.Bue. It won't happen again."

"Better not."

***RING!!!!***

Have I been thinking that long? It feels like I just got here.

Sam's POV

I think something is wrong with Maribel. She was always quiet but never this quiet.

***RING!!!***

Finally! This class was long and boring. Although its an easy grade.

"I'll pass out your homework on your way out."

My stomache growled. I was hungry. Good thing its time for lunch.

On our way to lunch, I noticed that Collin kept staring at me and his friend kept staring at Maribel. But every time I look at him, he smiles and shakes his head. What is wrong with that dude. My head is starting to hurt from thinking. "Sam, are you ok?" I turn to see Collin. "Did I hit you that hard with the ball?"

"Why do you care?"

"Because...um.."

"Exactly." Before I even gave him a chance to reply, I ran off to walk with Annemarie to lunch. Why does he care, sure he was the person who hit me but he still laughed at me. He confuses me so much.

"Sam? Samantha?"

"Huh?"

"Come on they called our table. Lets go get food!"

"Alright alright I'm going Alice." We got our lunch went back to our table. I was happy you could sit anywhere you want and that the lunch room was mixed with all the grades. We sat at a long table that fits at least 12 people. It was me, Annemarie, Ellie, and Alice. "Wheres Maribel?"

"I don't know, probably got lost... again."

I was eating when Maribel came with her tray, a girl, and her guy friends. "Hey guys!", she sat down along with her friends and they immediately filled the table,"This is my niece, Jade."
"Are you saying you have a secret sibling that had a child?"

"What? No! Its actually really complicated to explain but it has to do something about brothers and uncles."

"Okay then. Well I'm Alice, thats Ellie, Annemarie, and Samantha."

"Okay nice to meet you all."

"Maribel whos that guy sitting next to you? Is it your boyfriend."

"Eww no Alice thats my cousin!"

"Dammit! Everyone is your cousin!"

"Not my fault I have a big family!"

I hate it when they start arguring. I hope the year goes fast.
