Twisted Endings Series-Short story number 2-Gothic Angel

I look at her. Her sparkling eyes, her beautiful brown hair, her crystal lips....She is so beautiful, yet unattainable. She was so beautiful to me...such a wonderful sight. She was a goddess in my eyes....

"Sam, what are you doing?" I look at Trina startled.

"Nothing. Why?"

"You were staring at Lia! Why were you staring at her?" I look her in the eyes, trying so hard not to blush.

"I was staring at the scenary behind her. Why would I stare at Lia?" The bell rings. Thank God! I watch as Lia walks into the school. Her hair flowing behind her. Her crystalized lips smiling with her sparkling teeth showing. She was just so beautiful. But we came from different families, different ways....We were very different.

School was just a formality in the way of me being with Lia. Everyone would stare, and I don't think Lia liked me like that....I know for sure she doesn't. I have gone out with her, but they weren't dates....Only as friends....How my heart beats for her....Every second I have with her I wish it was alone. I love her so much...but no one can know....

"So...Sam, tell me who you like!" Rachel said walking home with me after school.

"No one..." I silently dream of Lia. I see Lia and I together...happy. How I wish this was not a dream. How I wish this was such a reality! How I wish I could be with Lia forever...forever and a day.

"Well Trina said she saw you staring at Lia....Do you honestly like her?" I look away, and I try to stop it...but I can't stop the red rushing to my face. I turn beet red, and look away. "This is not possible! Wow Sam....I didn't know...."

"Don't tell anyone, please?" I stare into her eyes and plead. I get down on my knees.

"Oh gosh, Sam. Get up!" she laughed a little, "I won't tell anyone. I promise." I walk home feeling a bit better. I trudge up the stairs to my room while I only grunt to answer my parents. I close my door, and fall on my bed. I stare at the ceiling. What can I do? I love her so much, but yet....Yet I will never have her. She will forever just be a figment in my dreams, and my imagination, because I can only have her in fantasy. Reality is just too hard for me....Should I tell her? What should I do? I roll over and get the books out of my book bag. I try to concentrate on studying, but I can't. Being 17 and liking someone is just too hard. I let the text book fall on the floor and I slowly fall alseep.

I walk into school the next morning. Everyone looks at me. They either snicker, or they whisper. What has happened to me? Do I look okay? Am I wearing something that looks horrible? Why is everyone staring at me like I'm from a different planet? I walk to class, as everyone stares me down.

I take my tray, and I sit down at a table. Everyone at least isn't staring at me anymore. Desiree comes over timidly and sits beside me. She looks at me like I have three eyes.

"Will someone tell me what the heck is wrong?" I scream.

"We all know," she whispers.

"And what would that be?"

"About Lia...." I stare at her in shock....I run and find Rachel outside eating lunch in the school yard.

"Rachel! Why would you do that to me?" I scream at the top of my lungs.

"I told Trina! I had to!"

"But you promised!"

"I'm sorry! But..." I stare at her and burst out in tears. Rachel looks at me, "Please don't be mad at me....Trina blackmailed me. Lia knows. She is kind of freaked out, but I promise....It's going to be all okay."

"No! No it isn't!" I run to my locker, and grab my bag. I run out of school and run to my empty house. I quickly unlock the door and go to my room to write a letter. I stain the page with my tears as I write it, and pack up my belongings. I take my bank card, and clean out my locker at school. I end my schooling then and there, and I tape the letter to Rachel's locker. I walk out the school, and I leave....

[Author's note: This is now in third person]

Rachel walked up to her locker, and saw the letter. She opened it....

"Rachel,

You know who this is. I am informing you that I have taken all the money I have, with my scholarship and moving to New York. I cannot take this anymore. You have all made my like a living Hell for what you did to me. Yes I am different, but don't treat me that way. I love Lia so much, and please tell her that. Tell her I love her beyond the stars, and I will always and forever love her. Yes, I do love her, and it's written right here.

These tears that fall is my pain leaking from my soul, and to be so cruel and treat me so different was not right. I just need to get away now. Away from everyone there.

Goodbye,

Samantha"
