I was grinning in my seat, and not even the fact that I was going home could dim my happiness.
Ten minutes later and he’s parked outside. I open up my door, and move to leave until he pulls me back inside.
“What is it?”
I fold my arms, sadly trudging behind Samuel as he unlocks the door to his house. I felt like I was intruding, just plopping into their lives without warning."My parents are most likely asleep, so you don't have to worry about them," Samuel says, and I nod. "Are you hungry?"I shake my head. It
The entire trip downstairs I practiced what I was about to tell his parents.I would apologize for being such a pest, and then I would tell them that I would be on my way as soon as possible and that they did not have to worry about me."Loa!" Victoria exclaims as soon as I round the corner into
S A M U E LI had been waiting outside my truck for over thirty minutes, and there was no sign of Loa. I thought that maybe she had to stay back for something . . . or maybe she was just feeling a bit shy after the kiss, but when 30 minutes became an hour I immediately became worried.As soon as I walk into the hall, I ignore all the hushed whispers, and blatant stares, relieved when I noticed that Danielle was still here.

“So . . . I have a basketball game coming up . . .” Samuel trails as I lay on his chest, the ground wasn’t exactly comfortable, but it would do just for tonight.“Mhm . . . “I tell him so he can go on.“And I’d like you to be there.” The stars that
“Danielle, wait!” My slippers slapped against the polished floors loudly as I chased behind the short girl that was practically storming through the place.She waits until we’re outside before she turns abruptly and glares at me. I was panting by the time I had ceased running, and she just crossed her arms, waiting.“What . . . why are you so mad?” I ask her.“Some best friend you are Loa. When was the last time we spoke?” I feel guilty as I knew she was going to say this and I
