The next day, Colby pulled up to Sam's driveway for picking him up so they can get breakfast together. Is he waiting for a blond boy, he pulled out his phone telling him that he's arrived. Colby clicked off of his phone, put it in his pocket as he waited for him to come out of the house.
It's 6:10 in the morning, woke up quite early for taking a shower and picking up a certain blond boy for getting some breakfast. He doesn't really like school morning meals but he loves a restaurant with fresh food, so does Sam.
Colby looks at Sam's front porch once he heard a door shut, making him watch Sam walking towards the dark violet-purple-haired boy. The blond boy is wearing his signature leather with a white shirt underneath, black ripped jeans with a nice pair of shoes. To Colby, even though Sam looks badass but he always has cute a body form.
Wait cute? Since when did Colby start admiring him again? He thought those types of feelings went away ever since he and the blond stopped talking. But, why now? He thought it was nice to have his friend back but he never expected his feeling somehow came back all sudden.
"Hey! Ready to go?"
"Yeah, let's go." Sam nodded, as he got on Colby's motorcycle, putting on the extra helmet for safety purposes. Wrapped his arms onto Colby's waist before the dark violet-purple-haired boy drove off.
When they got there, the two boys stepped into the restaurant of Denny's opens 24 hours and serves breakfast all day. Smelling fresh food in the air when people are eating their food makes Sam and Colby hungry.
The host leads them to their table but the booth is made for two people which is perfect for them. The people might think the two boys went on a date but their simple friends just got breakfast before school started. Sam and Colby sit down on the seat across from each other. The host handed them their menus and walked away.
Colby feels his phone vibration, knowing he got a text. He pulled his phone out of his pockets turn it on and saw a text from Shea. He gets on the messaging app to see the full text. He honestly feels so bad because he hasn't told her what's going on with him and Sam. He was planning to tell her but he is so busy with his schoolwork, the play, and spending time with Sam, ever since they get along.
From Shea🦋:
Hey, Colbs. Are we walking to school?"
He ran his hand through his violet hair, thinking how he could tell her that he's hanging out with Sam.
To Shea 🌸:
Actually, can I get a rain check? I'm having
breakfast with Sam at Denny's.
From Shea🦋:
Wait- what? How many chapters do I miss?
To Shea 🌸:
A lot. Look I'll explain later
because it's a very very long story.
From Shea🦋:
Ok. After school?
To Shea 🌸:
Yes, meet me at the
auditorium after school.
Seen at 6:30
"Shit." Colby mumble, putting his phone down and he ran his hands on his face, trying to calm himself down. He honestly couldn't lie to her cause he never lies to his loved ones.
"Hey, are you ok?" Sam assured, looked at him confused.
"Yeah," Colby sighs. "I forgot to tell Shea about me and you are getting along really well."
"Are you going to tell her?"
Before Colby could answer, the waiter came to ask the two boys what drinks they want. They told him the water is fine as he had written it down on her notepad and he asked them if they're ready for their order.
Sam told him he would like pancakes with two-piece of bacon. And Colby is getting a French toast with two eggs and two bacon. The waiter told them it will be out shortly.
"So... anyways. We tell her together and you coming with me." Colby sipped his water.
"Colby, I don't think Shea would be appreciated that cause... she hates me."
"She doesn't hate you," He pauses. "She strongly dislikes you very much."
"Jeez, thanks," Sam said bitter, rolling his eyes. "I don't know, Colby." He sighs through his nose as he sits back thing whatever if he should come with him.
"Come on, give her a chance." Colby touches Sam's hand and looks at his ocean eyes. "Look. Here's the deal; You'll come with me and talk to Shea. And I'm not letting her insult you."
Sam slightly blushes when Colby touches him. He hates he feels so flustered around him every little thing He near with. The other day, he thought about his sexuality if he's straight or not. But this day... he doesn't think he's straight at all, he feels his heart drop from his chest. "Okay."
What is happening?
❦❦
"So, let me get this straight," A black jet-haired girl said. "Evelyn, the most it girl in this school, recorded a fake video and recreating a fake Colby saying those things, trying to break you two up?" She moved her hands trying to put the pieces together.
"Yeah, pretty much." Sam clicked out of his phone after he shows Shea a video.
"Well," She breathes as she faces them. "What are you guys going to do?"
"Do what?" The blond boy furrows his eyebrows as she looking her confused. "We. We're not planning to do anything." Sam determined.
"Why not?" Shea responds give him a weird look. "She hired a guy who pretends to be someone that he's not. That's legal."
Colby sighs, looking at the blond boy sitting in front of him from the different row of seats. "She's right, what if Evelyn does it again with the other students."
"Colby, like you, said; you never talked to her. But I did talk to her, she always acts like she's innocent and no one will believe us."
"Sam-"
"No! I was so stupid enough to believe her about you betraying me. She's a good liar or really good actress." He said didn't realize he raised his voice.
"We'll figure it out, we just need a plan before we go up to her and demanding for an answer." Shea trying to confess him.
"Guys," Sam groans in frustration. "You don't know what she is capable of!! Look, I'm sorry for being a dick right now but... I don't want to go through that again." He stands up and throws his bag onto his shoulders. "If you want to get her back. Be my guest, but please. Please leave me out of this!"
He left.
Just like that.
Sam doesn't want to go through a situation like that again because of Evelyn. Shea and Colby have never talked to her before because you don't want to mess with her. She's like a spider crawling and sneaking around her prey before you get stuck by her web. Sam doesn't want to go back to her trap again.
"Are you ok?" She took his hand as comfortably as his arm is resting on the armchair.
"Yeah," Colby smiled at his best friend, he thought about what Sam said before he continued. "I understand about his decision because he doesn't want to make some mistakes before. You should see his face when I first told him that it wasn't me; I saw so much guilt in his eyes. Tears in his eyes as he looked like he was about to cry." He answered quietly, glancing down as he messed with a loose thread of his black jeans. "He has no idea... someone is pretending to be somebody else exists. He heard of catfishing but... never in real life, in person before."
"So, what are we going to do? We can't sit around and do nothing. We have to stop her before she did the same thing with the other students. Can you imagine if she went to college and did this situation all over again? Like what Sam said, 'No one will know what she's capable of." "
"I think, I have a plan, but it doesn't involve Sam because I respect his wishes."

After a few moments later, Shea went home needing to take out her dog, Max, since her parents still working. The students are in the front stage doing their daily routine; practicing their lines, working on the backgrounds. They notice Mrs. Moore is stressed and mumble herself as she's ranting and pacing around because the play is in two weeks.
Sam and Colby walked up to her decision to calm her down. She's has been an amazing drama/theater teacher, she always helps her students whenever if they're struggling.
"The play going to be great and everyone is finally getting good in their roles," Sam spoke calmly.
"Yeah! Bianca, Estella, and Elijah are almost done with the backgrounds. They told me, they have one more left and they're finished. And they looked amazing." Colby smiled.
"Yeah? Well, show me by doing good on that stage" She jokingly as she chuckles.
Mrs. Moore decided to make her student go up to the stage for rehearsing the play scene by scene in order, Montague and Capulet's families leads to much bitterness. Romeo Montague manages an invitation to a masked ball at the estate of the Capulets and meets Julian their son. Their families are enemies. Romeo and Julian figure out a way to pursue their romance, but Romeo is banished for his part in the slaying of Julian's cousin, Tybalt.
The ending was really sad when two lovers planning to run away but someone didn't get the note. But ended up their time, so they can be together for their way. No parents can't tell them what to do, even though their families are rivals and the two boys can't be together.
After they're done practicing for the whole play, the students have an amazing practice for the first time in a while and it goes almost perfectly. After that, the cast decides to call it for a night, they have been practicing for hours, they deserve to take a break.
One of the cast members named Elijah, he has dark-skinned with dark brown eyes and his face shape is rectangular among facial hair. He told everyone to come to his house for a movie night as they should celebrate an amazing practice and they all agree.
