Hey guys!

Well I did promise my friend an update. And a complete update. Now, I Will Not Bow doesn't exactly fit the chapter, but since Sam's not giving up on getting Alex, I let it slide. Also, Jake's the one in the picture.

I'm gonna try something new this Chappie. The plans aren't in order... Hope you like it!

Enjoy!

Wow, Alex is the only one whose burned me that bad since... what? Third, fourth grade? Yeah, it's been a long time. Guess I should just forfeit the bet then...

YEAH RIGHT! I mean sure, I like the guy, but way too much is riding on this bet. I can't lose my place on the archery team. They would suffer devastating losses like they did three years ago, before I came.

Alex has been making my heart secretly doing jumping jacks for the past two years. His black hair was always in an eternal quiff. His green eyes shone in a way the made me wish I had them. But the one thing that was bad about him was that he was too damn skinny.

Rumor is that he gets abused by his dad. I want to protect the kid. I've noticed he comes to school in long sleeve shirts and sweatshirts. Maybe he cuts?

Oh well, that'll all change when I began to date him. Yep, I'm confident about it. There is a 100% chance that he'll fall for me sooner or later.

Speaking of Alex, here he comes. Time to make my move.

"Hey, Alex," I say as I walk with him. "The movie theater has a marathon coming up. What to go with me?"

"No," Alex replied and walked away, leaving me stating there like an idiot.

Well, there goes Plan alpha. At least I have 23 more to go.

•Plan Beta•

"Hey, babe!" I greeted cheerfully as I caught up with him. Alex snorted and looked at me with a pissed expression.

"What do you what, Sam?" He said, exasperated. I smiled my signature smile and decided to give it a try.

"I was wondering if you'd like to come with me to a restaurant?"

"No."

•Plan Gamma•

I slicked back my hair and strode next to Alex.

"'Sup?" I asked in all cool voice. "You, me, fireworks at the park?"

"No, and get the fuck away from me." Alex said without looking at me. I pouted as he left.

•Plan Zeta•

"Hey-" I started, walking next to Alex.

"No," he said. I frowned. He didn't even let me finish my sentence.

•Plan Psi•

I sighed and took the rose out of my locker and walked to meet up with Alex.

"Hi," I said sweetly and gave him the rose. "Come with me on a date?"

Alex looked at the rose, thinking. Then he bit his lip and looked at me.

"No." He said, walking away. His rose. I gaped at him.

I tried EVERYTHING and he still said no. I mean, what else could I do. Usually most of the guys and girls are just so flustered around me they say yes right away. Why wasn't Alex doing the same thing?

I pouted as I skulked down the hall to my locker.

"Giving up, Sam?" Jack asked as he walked towards me. I glare at him in response.

"No, now leave me alone, I'm having a shit day," I bleakly said as I walk to my locker. What haven't I tried? Oh, I know, I could beg on my knees. But that's not ever gonna happen cause Sam Morelli DOES NOT beg. Not even for a bet.

I sighed and walked to Alex's locker. "Alex will you go on a date with me, please?"

Alex looked shocked at this. Then, he regained his composure.

"I'll think about it," was all he said before walking away. Well, I guess I'm screwed.

My locker combo was easy to memorize. 09-88-67. I grab my backpack me my car keys.

The drive home was long and sad. Well to me it was. I couldn't bear the though of losing my place on the archery team. I couldn't. I promised my team that I wouldn't. I can't break that promise, I just can't.

There was another thing I couldn't bear. Alex had said no to my date requests twenty-five times. That was quite a bit tommy heart. The guy I like doesn't what to date me.

I get into the driveway of my house and park the car, staying there for a few extra minutes. I felt so numb inside. I've never been refused a date. And especially not 25 times in a row.

Was this how all those people felt when I said no to them? Wow, I never really believed in Karma but apparently, this was it.

"Mom, I'm home!" I shout as I walk into the house and take my shoes off. My mom appeared from the kitchen and smiled at me.

"We have Lasagna today," she said in an odd European accent. You see, my mom almost never speaks English so she has a pretty thick accent. I don't since I alomst always speak English. My dad had pretty much the same accent as my mother.

I smile at her and walk upstairs to my room. My blue door came into view as I reached the top. I opened the door and plopped my backpack down onto my desk. I flop into my Spider-Man covered bed and moan in annoyance. I really hope Alex says yes cause the last thing that I need now is for me to get forced off the archery team.

I don't know when, but I soon feel asleep on the soft memory fome mattress. For some reason, my dream involved Alex.

"Alex!" I shouted, running through a dark house. For some reason, I couldn't bear the thought of not finding him. The vine form this dream told me I couldn't afford to lose Alex, like he had become my entire life.

"Sam?" A familiar voice shouted, thought It sounded very faint. That's the person I was looking for.

"Alex!" I shouted again after hearing a terrified scream.

"Sam!" He shouted again. "Help me!"

"I'm coming!" I shouted back. I couldn't move though. It was like my feet were glued to the ground.

"SAM!" Alex shouted again. No! I can't get there in time!

Some time later, I could move my feet again. When I finally found I room, Alex was inside of it, but he was dead.

I gasp as shot up out up. What- what was that about? Why would I try to save Alex. Why was he dead??

"Sam, dinner!" My mom shout. I grasped my chest where my heart is to calm it down.

"Coming!" I shout back.

Why did I have that dream? Was it some short of sign of what was supposed to happen? I don't know. I just hope Alex says yes.
