Nick glared at Chris. "What the fuck are you doing?!" He asked angrily, glaring bullets at Chris.

Chris looked taken back. "What? Do you know this kid?" He asked, his mouth gaped open like a fish.

Nick darted his eyes towards Sam. He gave a nod. "Of course I know him! He's..he's my prey." He lied.

Chris blinked and let Sam down, harshly. "Oh sorry, bro. Didn't know I was crossing my boundaries." He explained, putting his hands up in mock surrender.

Nick smirked and stalked over, grabbing Sam by the wrist. "I have some...business to take care of." He stated.

Sam's eyes widened with fear. He looked up at Nick and saw him wink at him. Now I get it. "Wh-What do you w-want now?! I-I already did your homework!" He asked, feigning fear.

Chris smirked. "Heh, well I guess I'll leave ya to it. Seeya Nick. Bye loser." He said, waving them goodbye.

As soon as Chris left, Nick busted up laughing. Sam looked at Nick in awe. "C-Can you let go of my wrist now?" He asked quietly.

"Oh yeah! Sorry." Nick said, dropping Sam's wrist. "Hey...are you alright?" He asked, kneeling down to Sam's level.

Sam bit his lip and nodded. He felt his cheeks heat up, Nick's face was centimeters from Sam's. Sam quickly averted his grayish eyes.

Nick frowned. "Hrm..I think you're lying." He said bluntly.

Sam looked at him. "I-I'm not!" He stammered.

Nick frowned and lifted a hand to Sam's cheek. He pressed lightly, making Sam wince. "See you are not okay." He stated.

Sam sighed. "Why a-are you being nice to me?" He asked with a strange emotion, glinting in his eyes.

Nick shrugged. "I dunno. You just...intrigue me." He informed.

Sam felt his heart tighten. He blushed and looked at his feet. "O-Oh.." He said.

Nick chuckled. "Are you blushing? Thats so cute!" He gushed.

Sam snapped his head up, his face fire engine red. "A-Am not!!" He whined, slapping his hands to his cheeks.

Nick chuckled and flicked Sam's forehead. "Yuh huh!" He teased.

Sam pouted and turned away from Nick. "Hmph!" He huffed.

Nick's face drooped and grabbed Sam's shoulders. "Aw, hey! Look at me!" He begged.

"I don't think I want to." Sam said poutily, crossing his arms in a huff.

Nick placed his head in between Sam's back, making Sam freeze. "Aw c'mon! I'm sorry!!" He whined.

Sam quickly jumped away and put a hand to his beating chest. "Okay g-geez!" He said.

Nick jumped up and did a victory dance. "Yay~! Sammy forgives me!" He cheered childishly.

Sam sweatdropped. "Sammy?" He asked, feeling slight pleasantness in the nickname.

Nick grinned and held a hand out to Sam. Sam blinked and took his hand lightly. Nick pulled Sam to him. He ruffled Sam's hair. "Whelp, lets get to class. Don't want you to be late." He suggested with a wink.

Sam nodded. He remembered..He thought with a smile.

"What are you smiling about?" Nick asked, snapping Sam out if his thoughts.

"O-Oh. Nothing i-in particular." Sam stuttered.

Nick combed and imaginary beard. "Do you alwaays stutter?" He asked.

Sam blushed and looked at his toes. "I-I don't kn-know.." He mumbled.

Nick laughed and poked Sam's cheek. "Well lets go." He said.

Sam nodded and followed Nick out of the library. "Sooo..wanna hang out after school?" Nick asked.

Sam turned red and fidgeted. "U-Uh...sure." He replied with a small smile.

Nick grinned and gave a fake salute. "Whelp! Time to get to class! Goodbye Sammy!" He said, waving Goodbye.

Sam gave a light wave and chuckled slightly. He walked over to his next class with a boost of confidence.

*****
After school, Sam was waiting patiently against the school's gate. Did he..forget? He thought sadly. He sighed and closed his eyes. He slumped against the column.

Suddenly, Sam's wrist was grabbed and he was pulled away from the school and into an alley. "L-Let go of m-me!" He yelled, trying to get out of his kidnapper's grasp.

The kidnapper covered Sam's mouth with their hand. After a few moments, a hoard of girls went running by the alley's entrance. After they left the person let Sam go, sighing in relief.

Sam looked at the person and saw that it was the dumb strawberry blonde jock, by the name of Nick. Sam pouted and turned away and was about to stomp home. "Hey! Wait!" Nick called, grabbing Sam's hand.

Sam felt his heart leap and he looked at Nick with curious eyes. "What?" He asked.

"Where are ya going?" Nick asked, releasing Sam's hand.

Sam crossed his arms. "Home. You don't just kidnap people." He said.

Nick's eyes widened in delight. "Sammy! You just talked to me! Without a stutter!" He proclaimed.

Sam blushed and he avoided Nick's eyes. "I-Its only because I'm angry with you." He said quickly.

Nick laughed and put an arm around Sam's shoulders. "Whelp lets go to my house!" He suggested cheerily.

"H-Hey wait!" Sam exclaimed, trying to pull free.

"What is it now?" Nick asked grinning.

"I'm s-still annoyed." Sam huffed, crossing his arms in a pout.

Nick grinned. "Annoyed? Why would you be?" He asked, cocking his head to the side.

"Duh! Y-You kidnapped me." Sam declared, pointing an accusing finger at him.

Nick had a blank face. "Ohhhh! Sorry Sammy! About that, a group of girls started to chase me so I needed to run away from them." He explained.

Sam felt jealousy. He huffed and turned away from Nick. "S-So.." He stammered.

Nick grinned. "Are you jealous?" He asked with a teasing tone.

Sam gasped, surprised by Nick. "What?! D-Don't be absurd! I-I'm not jealous.." He mumbled, his face flaring a bright red.

Nick grinned and wrapped his arms around Sam's waist, over Sam's arms. "Don't worry Sammy~! No need to be jealous~!" He cooed.

Sam's eyes blushed a bright red and shoved Nick away. "W-What are you d-doing?!" He asked shocked.

Nick smirked and gave a peace sign. "Heheh! Got you~!" He teased.

Sam glared playfully at him. "Lets go.." He mumbled, lightly grabbing Nick's sleeve.

Nick blushed. He looked at Sam's blushing face. Sam had his eyes averted and was looking anywhere, but Nick's eyes. Nick chuckled. He is sooo cute!! H grinned and grabbed Sam's hand. He pulled Sam along, they walked to a nice neighborhood.

Sam and Nick didn't realize they were still holding hands. Nick subconsciously interlaced their fingers. Sam felt his hear leap. He smiled softly. H-He's holding..my hand! He inwardly cheered. Wait...did I just get excited..? He wondered with a blush.

Sam walked in silence as Nick talked his head off. He couldn't stop staring at their hands. He suddenly crashed into Nick's back. "H-Hey.." He mumbled.

Nick laughed and let go of Sam's hand, much to Sam's disappointment. "We're here!" He cheered.

Sam nodded and stared at Nick's house in awe. "Whoa...its so big.." He said, not realizing he didn't stutter.

Nick grinned and pulled Sam inside.
