SAMANTHA'S POV – JANUARY 3RD

The last couple of days have been great for the most part. I had not seen or heard from Greg and I had been spending all of my time with the boys and Missy. Nick, Eric, Jasper, and Marc had really became quite good at skateboarding. Nick had caught on the fasted while Jasper took a while to catch on. Despite what I had said, I did participate in helping finding it fun and distracting. Jasper was constantly in one of his moods but I can't really blame him. He fell a lot. I tried not to laugh but Missy didn't even try to hold back the laughter making me lose it. But they all got the hang of it with minimal damage. But the fun was about to end and I knew it. School was starting back tomorrow and I was dreading it. School used to be my favorite place helping me escape my life at home. Now that I have been with the Rivers', I didn't want things to go back to the way they were. I am a nobody. Jasper and Marc were popular. They hung out with the in crowd. There was no way the others would allow Marc to bring a loser like me into their social circle. Missy was new and since she was with Jaz, she had a free ride to popularity. I would be alone once again. The only thing keeping me going is the fact that I would be coming back here after school and things would be fine. At least I hoped they would. What if anyone found out I stayed with Marc? That would not be good for Marc or Jasper. Marc graduates this year and there is no way he would want me to ruin his last year along with Jasper. What if things got complicated for them and they decided I shouldn't even stay here anymore? I would have to go back home. That thought scared me to death. I had become close to all of the Rivers and Missy. I had tried keeping my guard up and, to some degree, it still was. Although I have gotten too close already. I need to slack off and prepare myself for the inevitable. Aaron would be gone in a little over a week. After that Marc will realize I am more trouble than I am worth and send me away. I know it is coming.

"Sam? Are you ok? Missy, Jasper, and I were wondering where you were." Marc said coming into the guest room where I sat on my bed playing with the beautiful amethyst on my finger. I hadn't even realized I had been doing it. I quickly released the ring and looked at Marc.

"Yeah I am fine. Just staring off into space like the ding bat I am." I said with a chuckle hoping he believed it.

"You're worried about starting back school." He stated knowingly as he walked over and sat next to me. I sighed and looked down at my hands.

"Everything will be fine. You will have me, Missy, and Ben Ben with you." He said trying to reassure me. I gave a half smile still not convinced. He may mean that now but after a few days back in his old routine, he will forget all about me.

"But you have your friends and I am sure they will not be too welcoming to the thought of you being friends with me. It would be bad for your image and I don't want to ruin you and Jasper's senior year." I smiled as if it didn't bother me as much as it clearly did.

"You know I don't care what others think. Plus, Jasper and I are the most popular. Do you think that my being friends with you will have us overthrown so to speak? And even if they didn't like it I wouldn't give a shit. They don't decide who I am friends with. I do. And Jasper would say the same thing." He grabbed my hand, as if trying to convince me what he said was true. I nodded my head not wanting to talk about it anymore. He gave me a reassuring smile before pulling me into a hug. I loved his hugs.
