• "Sammie! Wait!" i yelled after my best friend. i gulped down air as fast as i could, she was running me way to hard. "Come on you sissy! If you want to make it on the track team you have to run faster! No pain no gain!" she yelled back at me. my feet stumbled under me and i lost my balence. my face hit the ground like deadwieght. "Owww." i said sitting up rubbing a sore spot on my head. Sammie ran back to me, "Are you ok?" she asked touching my black hair. "Remind me again why im doing this?" i asked. she smirked at me. "'cause if you dont you dad is ganna beat you down with a shoe." she opened her mouth and let out a loud laugh. i rubbed my head again then stood up. i rolled my eyes and walked away, Sammie came running after me. "Aw come on, i was just kidding." she said with a frown. a smile slid across my lips and i randomly hugged her. "i know." she laughed at me, "Haha! put me down!" she giggled. Sammie suddenly got seriose. "did you hear about the lake? another girl was drowned there..." she said looking at her feet. I put my arm around her, "Are you still upset about what happened there? i told you...nothing like that is ever going to happen to you again. EVER." i said with a straight face, looking at her wavy brown hair and perfect face. She was like my sister, i had to protect her. "come on!" she jumped. "lets get some ice cream!" she said happily. i smiled at her but when she turned it faded from my face. *if she holds all that saddness inside, she might...* i shook the thought from my head and contenued to walk with her.
