Ferocious (Chapter Fourteen) by Chykwrites(m): 7:12pm On Sep 14, 2018 |
Luke, Rick and Blake hurried past that gravelled plain of the lake and ran towards the grassy area. "Samantha!?", Luke shouted. "Are you okay!?", Rick shouted. The three boys stopped right where the girl was sitting, thier hearts in thier mouth. Samantha was on her feet now. She spun slowly to meet them and revealed what looked like a really large toad, right on top of her left Chest. "Get it off!", She cried, looking hysterical and disgusted at the same time. "Get it off!" The three boys dropped thier shoulders in relief and Luke in particular, raised his hands to his waists and Clenched his Jaw, with a mixture of anger and relief written on his features. Blake chuckled and turned to go back to the lake,then he tapped Luke's shoulder. "Yep", He said. "She's a keeper". As Blake left, Brie and Samantha jogged over and finally met the boys. "Is she okay?", Courtney asked. "Is someone gonna get this thing off me?", Samantha shouted, her voice louder now as the slimy creature made its way up her shoulders. Brie just dropped her shoulders and crossed her arms on her chests, shaking her head. "You've gotta be kidding me", Brie said. Luke moved forward and picked the toad off her shoulder and then gently placed it on the ground, where it hopped away. Hour watched it move, till it disappeared into the forest. He turned to Samantha with pursed lips. "Happy now?", He asked. She said nothing. She just kept dusting the dirt on her shoulder that the toad had left. She couldn't raise her eyes to look Luke in the eye, hell, she couldn't look anyone in the eye. She was so embarrassed for screaming like that because a toad, even though she really hated frogs. She felt his cold hands on her shoulder and then raised her eyes to meet his. "It's okay", Luke said with a smirk. Samantha stared at him for a while an realised,for the first time, that Luke actually had green eyes. She could not explain it, the way his smirk immediately put her at ease, it was amazing. "Y'all city girls don't have frogs in New York?", Brie's voice seemed to spoil the moment. Luke sighed as Samantha turned to face her. "That was a Toad", Samantha hissed. "...not a frog". "Whatevs", Brie scoffed. "But it didn't mean you had to shout like you had a lion on you or something, it was just a fucking frog". "Okay thanks," Samantha said and then turned to Luke. "I got". When Luke saw Brie narrow her eyes at the girl, He knew this was far from over. "You know", Brie started. "You're in no position to be giving an attitude around here". Samantha raised her head to the sky and sighed, dropping her shoulders in exhaustion. "This Bitch is unbelievable". "Brie", Courtney said. "That's enough". "No it's not, Courtney", Brie hissed. "Someone needs to put Kim Kardashian here, in her place". "Kim Karda-, Are you serious right now?", Samantha frowned. "Okay Brie", Luke said as he raised his hands. "Just Stop". "You may think you're better than us, but you're nothing", Brie hissed with a Condescending sneer. Rick stood at the sidelines, with a smirk on his face, watching. Samantha's jaw dropped at the hatred on Brie's face and she wondered where it was coming from. She just couldn't understand. "Is there something you wanna tell me?", Samantha hissed. "Sam, just let it go",Luke whispered into Samantha's ears as he pulled her back. "You should Listen to him", Brie uttered with a smirk. "Brie, seriously!", Courtney cried. "What?", Brie uttered as she spun to face her friend beside her. Samantha said nothing as she Clenched her fists and stared at the Blonde girl before her. She wanted to hit her so bad because she could feel.her Blood boiling in her veins. She saw a confrontation like this coming from a mile away though, just that she didn't expect it to be this obvious and open. "Take me home please", Samantha said as she tore her eyes from Brie and moved away, walking towards the car. "Yeah", Brie called after her with a Chuckle. "Walk away". The teens stood and watched in silence for a while as Samantha walked to the truck. Luke then spun back and glared at Brie. "Nice going", He scowled. "Anytime", She smiled with a shrug, before she spun and headed back to the lake leaving Courtney,Luke and Rick behind. "You should go check if she's okay", Courtney said to Luke. He nodded and began jogging over to me up with her. Courtney then turned to face Rick who had been standing behind her in silence. He met her gaze with a Mischievous smirk. Courtney rolled her eyes and shook her head, and then she made her way back to the lake. "You're coming?", She asked. "Just a Sec", Rick called as he headed towards the grassy area. "Need to pee first". On the drive back home, Samantha didn't say a word through out. She knew the silence was beginning to get to Luke because she could see him stealing glances at her. He was even evading the shortcuts they had used on thier way to the lake, just to make the journey a little longer, but Samantha didn't look like she cared. "Look", Luke finally said. "Brie is always like that, you've just got to ignore her". Samantha said nothing. "She's honestly a nice girl once you get to know her", He said. Samantha was still quiet, but within her, she felt sick at the fact that he was defending her. She was his friend after all and they knew each other before She knew Luke. One thing Samantha couldn't understand though, was how people always said those words. "He or She, is a nice person once you get to know them". "Bullshit". She always thought that was the Lousiest line ever. If you're really a nice person, you would be nice to everyone you meet, including those you meet for the first time. First impression was what it was all about, that's what Samantha believed. She then turned slowly to face Luke, staring with a look on her face that was a mixture of Disgust and disappointment. "To think that he's even defending her". "What?", Luke asked. Without a reply, She faced the windscreen again. Luke sighed. "Okay", He started. "I know you're gonna say this is all my fault and that I should have just left you alone when you didn't -" "Luke, Listen, I don't give a Bleep about your friends, or what you thought, or...whatever", Samantha fired. "Just take me home". Luke titled and looked over at Samantha. He couldn't even tell if she was angry or tired. What scared him the most was the indifference in her face. "She really didn't Care, did she?" He licked his lips and turned his face back to the road. Samantha stole a glance at the boy beside her and saw an expression she had never seen on him before. The happy, fun, Mischievous look was gone and that sort of made her guilty a little. He still stole nervous glances at her though when she wasn't looking, but like she said, She didn't care. She had to admit, He did have a look on his face that made her realise he had mended everything up. When they finally got home, Samantha Pushed the door open to get out. "Wait", Luke said. "Listen...I-" "Goodnight Luke", Samantha said as she came out of the truck, slammed the door and headed straight for the house. Luke sat there, watching the girl, until she disappeared into the house. "Goodnight", The green eyed boy sighed. 1 Like |
