Life is Just a Way to Pass Time- The Average Life of a Less than Average Girl

“Yeah, ‘Spongebob’ is cool, but I still rather watch the ‘Rugrats.’” Sammi argued with Sam playfully.
“Whoa, there. ‘Rugrats are a classic, I’ll give you that, but, I mean, c’mon! ‘Spongebob teaches life lessons!”
Sammi scoffed. “Like what?”
Sam grinned mischievously. “They taught us….’ It's not about winning, it's about fun!’ annnnnd…”

“Don’t. Even. Sta-”

“F is for Friends who do stuff together.
U is for You and me.
N is for Anywhere and anytime at all.
Down here in the deep blue sea!”
Sammi slapped Sam’s arm lightly, knowing that now she would have Spongebob songs stuck in her head all day.
“Sam! Now I have that song stuck in my head!” she said in mock-anger.
“Sing-along with me!” he cried out.
“F is for Frolic through all the flowers.
U is for-…Come on, Saveria. What is U for?”
Sammi sighed. Who can resist a Spongebob sing-along?
“Ukulele.
N is for Nose picking, chewing gum, and sand licking.
Here with my best buddy.” They finished the song together, just in time to meet end up in the back lot of the school. Sammi slowly felt her smile fade and self-consciously adjusted her hair so it fell over her shoulder, as if to hide her face.
“Hey,” Sam put a hand on her shoulder. Sammi’s heart fluttered.
“Hmm?” she asked, avoiding his eyes.
“Why’d you do that?”
“Do what?” Sam turned her around to face him. His eyes were blue. Really crystal clear blue.
“You know… Your smile disappeared. And you got all quiet.”
“I..uh…I don’t know.” She looked down, hating herself or blushing so hard. He gently pulled her chin up so that they were looking in the eyes. They leaned close. Closer. Sammi’s eyes closed.

“Sammi!” Her eyes snapped opened and she backed away from Sam, blushing even more. Sam sighed in frustration and ran a hand through his hair. Sammi looked around to find who had called her. There- Savanna was walking towards them.
“Uhh…did I interrupt something?” she asked, smiling for a second before grabbing Sammi and pulling her aside.
“Really, Sav? We were kinda in the middle of something.”
“Shuddup, I know. But Jake got into a fight.”
“What!? Is he OK? How bad did he lose? Wait, WHO did he fight?”
“He’s fine, but pretty beaten up. Obviously he lost. He’s the dumb ass that started it. I told him to let it be, but he just-“
“Savanna, can I know what the hell is going on? WHY did he get in a fight?”
“Some jackass told the school he was gay!”
“But…who?” Sammi asked.
“Well the only people who know that he is bi are you and me.”
“ I didn’t say anything.”
“Wait! Mark knows!” Savanna said suddenly. “Remember? Remember when we were at your house?”
Sammi did remember. Last year, Jake had been in a really bad mood. Like, he was pmsing…except he’s a guy and everything. Well, Savanna, Jake and Sammi were at Sammi’s house, on the porch. Jake had broken down and told them how confused he was and confessed that he thinks that he was bi. He cried on Sammi’s shoulder. Sammi and Savanna weren’t surprised. They both already had him figured out. But Mark was also there. He was getting his little sister from Sammi’s house, and had come out on the porch at the exact moment Jake confessed. This was a little before Mark changed, even though things were a bit tense between him and Sammi. But Jake trusted him then, Mark promised not to tell.
“He told?” Sammi asked.
“Who else?” Savanna said.
“Well, where is Jake? Is he okay?”
“He’s in the French room. Madame C let him in after the fight.”
“Let’s go, then!”
