"Sam! Sam, Wakey Wakey, We're at school." I feel a hand on my shoulder and a warm, soft voice speaking in my ear. I blink open my eyes and see our high school, then turn my head and see Shane, kneeling beside me. "S-Sorry," I stutter, rubbing my eyes, "I must have fell asleep." He smiles and offers me a hand pulling me up. "No worries" and he starts walking off, immediately he is surrounded by girls, sluts more like it and I feel Katie's arm slide into mine. "So, are you in love with him yet?" She asks with a teasing smile. "Not yet and I don't think I ever will." I laugh and we walk into school, watching Shane with his horde of sluts following him, touching his hair, trying to slide their fingers under his shirt. He smiles and lets them. I feel disgusted and they guys don't looks as pleased. Matt takes a long look at Katie and then glances at me. My eyes widen a little and I get out my phone to text Matt. 'You like her?!' I text. Then I open my locker, grabbing my books and heading to my first period class. Math.. Ugh.. Why must I learn about you? My phone vibrates and it says: 'Yeah I do, But don't say anything! I mean it Sam' I smile and text: 'Your secret is safe with me.' and it really is. I wouldn't tell one of Matt's secrets if my life depended on it. He's my brother. I can't betray him. Ever. He's all I have. Yeah, we have our parents but they aren't ever around. Since I was 14 (And now I'm almost 17, Matt 19) I haven't really had a Mom. The boys living with me are more family then I could have ever imagined. Matt threw ever birthday party I've ever had, made sure I was well clothed and fed, and gave me all the love in the world. His friends even though they annoyed me and sometimes really hurt my feelings (not that I told them), they loved me unconditionally. It was like one big family. Ms. Peterson, started to drone on and on about Parabola, Its like this fancy grid in a U shape. I started to doodle in my notebook, knowing Matt could help me with this later. Katie, who was sitting next to me whispered, "I cannot wait till the last day of school" I nodded in agreed meant. Our last day of school was only a week away. I was so excited! Then I was also sad. My brother and his friends graduated this year. We were all going to the College Station in Texas not far from our home, but I wouldn't see them at school and that tore my heart up. That meant less time with Shane.. I thought. Wait?! I thought that!? Oh my god! I'm going insane. Focus Sam. Focus on Math. Oh thank lord the bell rang. I jump up and out of my seat. Running into the hall I hit my head on a hard chest, before I fall I feel a pair of strong arms holding me up. "You know babe, I'll always give you a hug if you want one. You don't have to run at me." Chris says with a chuckle. I push him away. "Shut up Chris, You know I hate this class." he shrugs and smiles. Seeing his groupie of sluts coming, he slips away to go see them. They squeal and grab his clothes, touching his hair. Its sickening. The last thing that boy needs is more attention. The day drags on and the only good time was in the cafeteria where we ate some pie. I love pie. It tastes amazing. All soft and creamy. "Miss Matthews. Are you listening?" The teacher snaps. I shake my head and say, Nope! Popping the 'P'. "Well I hope you like detention then." I smile and nod. "Of course, I get a lot of extra nap time in there." The class snickers and chuckles. My teacher slams down the book he was holding. "This isn't a joke Miss Matthews. Straight to the principals office. Now." I smile and nod getting up. "You might want to consider detention yourself Sir, You seem a little cranky." I hear the laughter from my classmates as I close the door and make my way down the hall to Shane's car. Screw detention. I am not sitting in detention for an hour. I slide into Shane's car and close my eyes, drifting off.

~~~ Shane ~~~
I pull her out of the car and start walking towards my class. I don’t really care which one. I just know Sam’s not gonna be near me. The sluts surround me and I try to shake them off. They cling to me like glue. It sickens me. Yeah I’m a player but I don’t want them around me 24/7. Lately none of them have satisfied me. I glance over and see Sam talking to Katie. They laugh and Sam shakes her head. They start toward their own classes. I see Sam glance at me and I let the sluts touch me, hoping to make her jealous. Instead her face twists in disgust and she flings her hair over her shoulder, walking away. I sigh and shoo the sluts away. Uncaring about them, they go off to bother someone else. I walk into the classroom and Matt pats me on the back. “Alright. Spill.” I look at him confused. He sighs and looks me dead in the eyes. “I can see straight through you bro. You have a thing for someone. And its not an ordinary someone. Its special. Who?” I look at him nervously, my head was screaming Sam. But I couldn’t tell that to her overprotective brother. Best friends sister is off limits. Matt’s eyes soften and he touches my shoulder. “You can tell me anything Shane. You know that.” His eyes show a little hurt that I wouldn’t be completely honest with him. Guilt pierced me in the gut. This is the guy who protected me and I couldn’t tell him the honest truth. I was falling in love with his sister. I lower my voice and glance around. “I think I’m falling for your sister.” Matt looks at me for a second, weighing his options then he smiles. “I couldn’t think of a better guy for her.” I break into a giant smile. “But you better treat her right. I don’t want her having a broken heart cuz of you.” I nod rapidly and start daydreaming about Sam. Her long hair, her body, mostly her eyes. Gosh, Anybody could drown in them. I walk through the class in a daze not really listening or caring. I pretty much had straight A’s. I was having a good day till I reached Reading. I knew I had to concentrate in this class. ‘C’mon Shane, Last class. You can do it.‘ I thought. I had dyslexia and it was really hard for me to read. I was pretty good at writing, just reading gave me trouble. As the class went on I kept mixing up the letters. I could barely understand. Finally, I just got up and ran out. Not caring where I was going I went to the parking lot, making my way to the car. I just wanted to go home. Sleep. Forget about life. I reached my car when I felt a hand on my back and a slutty sugary sweet voice talking to me. Oh lord. Cherry. God, she is the biggest slut ever. I don’t want to talk to her at all.

I wake up, hearing a knock on the window. I look up seeing Shane and some slut in front of the car. I wrinkle my nose in disgust. Cherry, is her name. Big boobed, blonde, long legs, no brain at all. She sleeps with everyone who asks. She disgusts me. They're talking, I duck down to listen and they won't see me.
Cherry: Awww Please Shane? Just one ride.. I'll make it worth your while. I can tell she winks and takes his hand. I think Shane ran his hand through his hair. I peek up to watch. Yep, he did. I know him to well.. Freaky. I turn my attention back to the pair.
"I don't know Cherry.. I'm not in the mood." He replies, glancing at the ground. Cherry gapes at him.
"Not in the mood" she shrieks, staring at him in shock. Obviously it was her first time being turned down. 'About time' I thought. He nods and she takes a step toward him. Pressing her boobs against his chest and grabbing his hair, twisting his head down so she can kiss him. I gasp softly and tears well in my eyes and I feel.. jealousy? Jealousy?! What is wrong with me?! Shane pushes her away and wipes his mouth in disgust. She glares at him. Then without a backward glance, she stalks off. Shane shakes his head and heaves a deep sigh then climbs into the car. Stupid of me though I left my bag in the front seat. He smiles and turns around. I do a small, stupid wave at him. "Hi," I say, glancing up at his face. He smiles and waves back. "Did you skip class?" his voice is gentle. Not what I was expecting. "No, I got detention and I didn't feel like being there." he nods and starts the car. "Lets go home then." I jump into the front seat and look out the window, watching the land as we drive. Nothing special about our town. Just an ordinary town in Texas. "Are you gonna tell Matt?" I ask softly. Still staring out the window I hear him sigh. "No, I won't. But please, Sam, its the last week of school. Two more days. Don't get in trouble again. I'll make a call to the school and tell them you felt sick and I took you home early." I glanced at the clock and realized we were both out of school early. I look at his tired face. "Why are you skipping?" I ask, raising my eyebrow skeptically. He sighs and lowers his head. "I just.. I didn't want to be in the classroom anymore. Couldn't handle it." I think in my head. Then it pops up. "You were in reading weren't you?" He gives a slight nod and I reach out to him. I gently touch his shoulder, and he seems to relax. "Its okay Shane." I say softly, stroking his shoulder softly. He nods once. Shane has dyslexia. Reading and writing are hard for him and he's a perfectionist. Making it even more stressful for him. I remember staying up late at night helping him study for a big English Exam or a reading project.

~~~ Shane ~~~
I shake my head and climb in the car, wiping my mouth in disgust. Ugh. That was probably the worst kiss of
