Unknown Contact Calling

Hmmm who could this be? I thought.

"Hello? Who's this?"

"Boo.. It's Al.. Uhh I got your number from your mom.. I tried to call your home phone number and Luckily you haven't change it yet.. So uhh.. I asked Mimi for your number.. I hope that's okay.. Uhh I'm in the city. We're back."

"Al?"

"Yeah.. I hope you haven't forgotten me yet.. But if you have.. It's Allyson Reed.. your.. Uhhh your.. ex-uhh.. ex.. your.. friend I mean.. yeah.."

"Oh no.. no.. Of course I do remember Al. Well it's been four years.. and I was just surprised.."

"Yeah I know.. Sorry for being MIA for 4 years.."

"No.. No.. It was a mutual decision remember? You don't have to apologize for that.."

"Still.. I should've at least talked to you.. Or Mandy.. Or Mike.. and Andy.. I shouldn't have left like that.."

"Hey Al.. I said it's okay.. You're still our friend.. That won't change.."

"Yeah.. Um.. Do you think we can hang out? Well.. Of course with the rest of the guys.. You know.. Like the old times?"

"Uhhh yeah.. Of course.."

"Are you free this weekend?"

"Sure.. I'll let them know.."

"Alright, can you text me their numbers? So I can tell them personally that I'm here.."

"Of course.."

"Alright.. I'll let you go now.. Um.. See you soon.. I miss you.. Boo.."

"Alright.. Bye Al.."

"Bye.."

I can't believe that Al is back. She still addressed me with that nickname. When we're still together she would always sing that song for me. That's her favorite song from Usher. If she still calls me that, then it means..

Ugh. I hope not.

I don't want things to be awkward with her. I love Sam. But I wouldn't want to hurt Al's feelings. Then, she still calls Mom "mimi" Mom adores Al like Mandy since both of them were my closest friends during middle school. Mom knows that Al was special for me, but she didn't know about Al and I's relationship then. I should inform Sam about this. She has the right to know right? Ugh.

Samantha's POV

"Allyson Reed huh? alright.. I'll try to set you up with her.. Thanks again Clark.. I owe you a lot for this.."

"Don't worry about it.. bye!"

I need to call Amber right away.

RING RING RING

Me: BABE!!!! I have something to tell you!!!!

Amber: You sound pretty much excited about it.. Hit me..

Me: Well.. I already have Shane's memory card.. Clark said that our picture is in this little chip.. though we're not sure if Shane did make a copy of it.. I'm pretty much hopeful he didn't.

Amber: Really!!??? Wow. Clark is something else. That's great babe..

Me: Another good news though.. I have a brighter idea. I think I'll beat Shane to this. I'll change my display picture on all my social media accounts with this one. This way everyone we'll have an idea about us.. I know we're not yet official.. But is it okay for me to do that?

Amber: Of course! Yeah! That's great! I'll change mine too.. Send me the picture so we can do it at the same time. Uhhh I also have something to tell you..

Me: Oh.. What's that?

Amber: Remember Ally?

Me: Ally?

Amber: uhhh Ally.. my ex-girlfriend..

Me: ...

Amber: Sammy? You still there? Babe?

Me: Is it Allyson Reed?

Amber: How did you know her full name? But yeah that's her.

Me: Clark.. He asked me a favor to hook him up with the new girl.. She just transferred school.. and he heard that she'll be joining the cheerleading team...

Amber: Transferred? She didn't mentioned that..

Me: So you already talked huh?

Amber: She called.. and yeah.. But Sammy please don't be like that.. She's my friend you know..

Me: and your ex.. and she's a good person.. Well pretty much good looking too.. according to Clark.. Can we talked about this later.. the team's already here.. We need to practice.

Amber: Sammy.. you know I don't like to end any of our conversation like this right? I feel like your upset with this.. and I don't want that babe.. Please..

Me: ...

Amber: Sammy.. Babe?

Me: Sorry.. I don't want that too.. I'm just being je- childish.. Sorry..

Amber: No babe.. You don't need to apologize.. Can I come over tonight? So we can talk?

Me: Of course.. Will you stay over?

Amber: Can I?

Me: Of course babe.. Thank you.. I mean thank you for telling this to me..

Amber: You know that I'll always be honest with you right? and I don't need to keep this from you.. I have nothing to hide.. and you have nothing to worry about.. I love you and you have my heart. Please always remember that.

Me: Alright.. Alright.. Don't make me blushed. I love you too and thank you for loving me back. We'll talk later okay? Oh.. and we'll change our display pictures right?

Amber: Of course babe, I love you. Have a safe practice.. Can't wait to see you. Bye.

Me: I love you more. Bye.

Amber's right. I have nothing to worry about. She's her ex-girlfriend and I'm.. Well I'm.. God! Amber and I are not officially together. I'm not in any position to tell that "ally-girl" to back off. Are we even dating? How will I introduce myself in front of Ally? How will Amber introduce me to her? As her friend? God!!!

Hi I'm Sam.. Amber and I are exchanging I love you's.

Would that introduction be okay? Of Course not! I would sound crazy.

Aaaarrggghh!

"Hey Sam! I didn't know you want to be a rockstar someday.." My thoughts were interrupted by Sofi.

"Uhhhh no.. Amber's ex-girlfriend is back.. What will I do Sofi!?? What if she wants Amber back!? What if Amber realized that she still love her? What if-"

"Hey! Calm down okay? First, you don't have to do anything. Second it's not you who needs to do anything. It's Amber.. and I doubt Amber would do anything to hurt you okay? How did you know about that?"

"Amber told me.."

"See? She told you.. Don't worry to much. She cares for you, Amber cares about how you will feel about it that's why she told you. So don't stress too much. I doubt that she's pretty as you." Sofi winked at me when we heard our cheerleading adviser called our attention.

"Alright everyone!! Gather around! We have 3 girls who would tryout to get into the team. Girls, I'll call your name one by one and state your age and nickname."

"Gretchen Sy"

"Here.. I'm 18, Chen for short."

"Perry Matthews"

"Hi! 17, just Perry."

"Allyson Reed"

"Hi Everyone! I'm 18, please call me Ally."

Then there she was. A blonde like me with a grayish blue eyes. She looks very friendly and sweet. With that elegant beauty and positive aura, how can I compete with that?

"Oh no. Yeah, your right Sam. Now you have to worry." I heard Sofi whispered. This can't be happening.
