When the darkness comes (Sam witwitcky)

A new car at the party

Sometimes being one of the popular girl at school is a nightmare. Especially when there's some people that bitch about you and find you shallow. Which I wasn't. People will do anything to get close to you and pretend to be your friend or even so they can be 'noticed' for a day. Or the fact that every guy that's a jock or even into any sports wants to date you because you're 'hot'. I knew everyone in school, not in a 'I hate you and I'm popular' way but because I liked to know people, even if I didn't talk to them, I knew their names and a little about them.
Like that guy for instance,
I looked over a few tables away from me in my classroom to see a random guy sitting listen to the teacher go on and on about these reports we were doing on a family member.
That guy, his name is Cameron Figures; he's in the tennis team. A good guy that's very smart with a lot of friends. He wasn't a nerd or anything just really clever.
Then there's Cassie Waters. My best friend.
Cassie was standing at the front of the class finishing her report on her uncle who was in military. Casie lived with her father, her mother died in child birth failure of her unborn sister. She was one of the kindest girls I knew. And she was an amazing friend, we have known each other since we started high school and we were on the netball and hockey teams together. We were very fit and sporty girls.
"Skylar and Matt Temple, you're up!" Mr Hosney called. I rolled my eyes as Mr Hosney used my full name, What was wrong with just calling me Skye like everyone else did? My brother and I stood up from our seats and headed over to the front of the class. Siblings done the project together and we were the only ones. We were twins. Not identical but very similar. Matt and I had the same dark brown hair colour and blue eyes. He was a little taller than me and he had a lot of muscles that basically could beat the crap out of anyone. He was very sporty, a jock in fact with his best friend Trent. Trent was actually my boyfriend. We had been going out for maybe a year and things were going well. I just didn't like it when he started a fight.
My brother and I stood in front of the class and I opened up the velvet box filled with army medals so all the class could see while Matt started to speak. "Today my sister Skye and I would like to do our report on our father William Temple. Our father was a brave Captain of his team."
"Our dad had earned many medals as you can see here. He was rewarded for his bravery, ideas and for giving his life which saved 41 innocent woman and children" I said. "In September 2010, William Temple saved these people by taking on 4 terrorists who would have lit a building of innocent people on fire In Syria. The terrorists had been targeting innocent lives and when our father knew that was their target he attacked while waiting for his team to arrive at his location"
"He attacked the 4 terrorists by shooting them down but he had also been shot in the stomach. When his men got there they were too late. They found their captain dead from the blood lost. He had saved the lives of families and for that he received a bravery medal for giving his live for others." Matt said sadly.
"His medals were given to his family. And we have always kept them in safe care. We lost a brave man that day. William Temple was an amazing father to us. He was a loving husband and he has and will never be forgotten or replaced." I said sadly.
The class clapped like they did after every presentation. And Mr Hosney asked us to sit down while he gave calculated our marks. "Well done Skylar and Matt. You both get an A" the teacher smiled.
I gave a small smile to Matt who was at the table next to me. 'well done' I mouthed.
'You too' he smiled.
"Congratulations babe!" Trent whispered leaning over and kissing my cheek and wrapping an arm around my shoulders.
"Mr Witwicky!" Mr Hosney called snapping Sam out of his daze from looking at the clock. He quickly gathered his bag and headed to the front of the class, emptying out the contents on the podium at the front. Sam and I had lived across the street from each other since we were 10 and now we were both 16. I hardly talked to Sam he was too shy whenever I tried speaking to him.
"Sorry I got a lot of things" Sam said as he sorted out some things. Trent quickly made a rubber band sling shot and took a wrapped up gum wrapper and fired it at Sam. I rolled my eyes and smacked Trent's arm.
"People! Responsibility!" Mr Hensoy yelled.
"So...for my family genealogy report. I decided to do it on my great-great-grandfather, who was a famous man, Captain Archibald Witwicky. Very famous explorer. In fact he was one of the first men to explore the arctic circle, which is a big deal." Sam said opening up an old looking map and pointing to the arctic circle. "In 1896, he took 41 brave sailors straight into the arctic shelf."
"So that's the story right? And here we have some of the basic instruments and tools used by 19-century seamen" Sam added making the class laugh and giggle like toddlers. I was surrounded by idiots sometimes. Mr hosney held up the quiet sign which no one would listen to. Sam ignored the laughing and continued with his selling picking up some item "This here is a quadrant which you can get for 80 bucks. It's all for sale, by the way"
"Like a sextant here" someone said. More laughter. The quiet sign went up again but yet again didn't work. I couldn't help but smile at Sam for wanting to make some money. "$50 for this which is a bargain. These are pretty cool. These are my grandfathers glasses. I haven't quiet gotten them appeased yet but they've seen many cool things"
"Are you going to sell me his liver?" Mr hosney asked. The room went silent as we all looked at the teacher and sam. "Mr witwicky this isn't show and sell. It's the 11th grade. I don't think your grandfather would be particularly proud of what your doing."
"I'm know. I'm sorry. It's just, you know, this is all going towards my car fund. You can tell your folks. It's on eBay. I take pay pal and cold hard cash too. And this compass makes a great gift for Columbus Day" Sam said quickly before the teacher could cut him off.
"Sam!" Mr hosney shouted.
"Sorry! Uh, unfortunately my great-great-grandfather, the genius he was wound up going blind and crazy..." Sam said then picking up a very old brown newspaper then circling the image with his finger. "...drawing these strange symbols and babbling on about some giant ice man that he discovered-"
Sam's presentation finished then when the bell rang for the end of the day. Everyone stood from their seats picking up their bags and heading for the door. "Might be a pop quiz tomorrow, might not!" Mr hosney shouted.
Trent wrapped his arm around my shoulders and we headed for the door. Matt was walking behind us with some other guy on his and Trent's football team. As we all walked to the door I heard matt hiss to someone "eyes off my sister" I rolled my eyes and ignored him knowing he was being his over protective self.
We all walked out side the school and headed to the car pack. Trent's truck and Matts car were parked beside each other.
"I'll pick you up in an hour" Trent smiled pecking my lips.
"Okay"
"Wear something pretty." He teased.
"Only if you do" I shot back before turning to Casie who was walking over. "hey you going tonight?"
"Yeah, is Trent picking you up?" She asked.
"Yeah, he'll pick me up in an hour so we'll be there bout 5" I said and hugged her.
"See you there, bye!"
"Bye!" I smiled climbing into the passenger seat while Matt got in the drivers seat. As I buckled my seat belt I saw sam running down the school steps waving a piece of paper in his hands heading for his fathers car. I couldn't help but smile at his excitement which probably meant he was getting his car.
-----------------------------------------------
(At the lake party-Sam's POV)
I pulled up my new yellow and black Camaro with Miles in the passenger seat we looked out at everyone that was surrounding the lake. Lots of cars were pulled up on the side and I just so happened to pull up beside Trent's jeep. Great. The lake was was surrounded mostly by popular people and I could see Skye Temple's twin brother Matt. He was very protective of Skye so everyone had to be careful incase Matt didn't like the boyfriend or whatever. I knew that if Matt was here then Skye would be too so Skye must be close...there! Skye was over sitting on the hood of her brothers car with her best friend Cassie they were talking and giggling. Skye looked great. She was wearing denim shorts, a blue vest top that matched her eyes and a pair of white wedges. Her hair was down in loose curls that ran down her back.
"Oh my god. Oh my god dude! Skye is here!" I said to Miles. We both stepped out of the car and straight away caught the attention of Trent, Skye, Matt and the rest of the football team.
"Am I good?" I asked Miles as I tried fixing my hair. "Your good, man" Miles replied
Miles and I started walking near the area Trent and that were in. "Just don't do anything weird, alright?" I told miles.
"Hey bro, that car. It's nice" Trent said looking at My new car. I could see out the corner of my eye Miles throwing his jacket down and climbing a tree beside us all. I mentally rolled my eyes and face palmed. "So, what are you guys doing here?" Trent asked.
"We're here to climb this tree" I said trying to sound cool but I totally failed.
"I see that. It looks-" Trent began looking at Miles strangely. "Uh, looks fun. You know I thought I recognised you, you tried out for the football team last year right?"
That brought back a lot of horrible memories. I did try for the team but ended up getting tackled and a near concussion which ended up my mom had to come get me. I noticed Skye and her friend watching us all now so I had to look cool!
"Oh no! No no that...no. That wasn't a real tryout. I was researching for a book I was writing" I lied.
"Oh yeah, what's it about?" Trent smirked "sucking at sports?"
I pulled out a fake chuckle towards the captain as his team mates came a little closer. "No, actually. It's about the link between brain damage and football. No it's a good book. Your friends will love it. It's got mazes in it. You know it's got colouring sections, pop up pictures. It's a lot of fun."
"That's funny" Trent said taking a step towards me. Suddenly in a flash Skye was standing in front of Trent blocking his path.
"You know what? Stop" she said sternly.
"What are you doing Skye?!" Trent said clearly annoyed.
I quickly turned around glaring at Miles who was hanging upside down in a tree like a monkey.
"Get out if the tree" I hissed angrily.
"What?" He said innocently.
"Get out now!"
When miles got out of the tree we both walked back to the car. "Well done miles, I said don't do anything weird and you climb a tree. Skye and everyone was totally watching!"
Miles ignored me and jumped in through the car window. Really, can't use a door?! I leaned against my car and watched as I saw Skye arguing with Trent only a little bit away from me and my car. Their shouts were all hearable but they were shouting over each other that it was complicated to make out words except the last line that was said.
"It's over!" Skye yelled in Trent's face before quickly turning away and heading for the exit to the lake. Trent stood shocked and I was silently loving the look on his face. Matt tried to follow her but she quickly turned around and pushed Him away then said something to him that I couldn't hear but obviously hurt Matt as he didn't move but watched his twin sister leave.
I watched as Skye walked away heading in the direction of her house. Which I knew was miles away since she lived across from me. As I leaned against the car I suddenly heard the radio start to play "who's gonna drive me home tonight?"
"I'm gonna drive her home tonight" I said to myself. This was it, this was my chance. Now to deal with miles....
"Dude, you have to get out of my car!" I told miles as I leaned in to look at him through the drivers window
"What?!" He yelled in annoyance, shock and disbelief.
"Dude please, this is my chance" I begged.
"There's no point! She'll never go for people like us, man! Come on bro, you can't just leave me here!" Miles complained.
"Miles, just get out my car!" I shouted frantically.
Miles quickly climbed out of the car and I slipped into the drivers seat and quickly sped off after Skye ignoring about whatever Miles shouted at me.
