Chapter 3

Byron's POV

It's been weeks since Samantha joined our group of friends, I notice changes around me.

1. I keep laughing, and that's not healthy.

2. I always stare at Samantha in silent.

3. I always got lost in Sam's eyes.

4. The bullies have stopped their ways.

5. My heart keeps beating irregularly, when I'm around Samantha.

I guess, joining Tyron's group, and opening up to all of them isn't as bad as I thought it will be. I actually met other Tyron's friends, but that's for another time.

"Byronnnnn!" Samantha waved at me, I smiled, waving at her too.

"Saaaaamyyyy!" I run towards her, ruffling her hair as she scoffed.

"Stop ruining my hair! Jeez!" She said, fixing her hair back in it's normal way. I laughed at her cuteness.

"Why are you late?" I asked her, and she smiled at me sheepishly.

"Don't tell me, you stayed up all night to watch eminem?" I told her nonchalantly, she nodded at me, I sighed.

"Come on! You know Eminem is my role model, of course I'll do that! Although, i should have just studied last night" she said, scratching her head, as I shook my head at her.

"You and your fangirl heart!" I said, pushing her temple. And she just sticked her tongue at me, i chuckled.

"Byron! Sam! Over here!" Gary said, as we approach them.

"Hey guys!" She said, fist bumping with Drew.

"Why are you late Samantha Guin?" We all flinched at her voice. Samantha slowly turned around.

"Mom?" She asked him, and she just pushed her forehead away.

"You watched videos of Eminem again? You know won't get to debut if you keep doing this." She said, and Samantha just smiled at her.

"Ohhh? Admit it! I'll debut soon, just you wait Mom!" She said, and she just shook her head at her.

"I'm so sorry about her, she's really troublesome. You're free to call me when she needs some whooping from me, okay?" She said, glaring at Samantha, who just scoffed at her. We chuckled at her behavior.

"Don't worry ma'am! We will surely call you when she needs whooping!" Tyron said, and he chuckled.

"Please, just call me Vanessa, you're already my daughter's friends. " She said, and we all nodded at her. She flicked Samantha's forehead and whispered something in silent.

"Stop, staying late at night. Just so you can watch videos of Eminem! I'll really tell your Dad to whoop your ass next time!" She said, making Samantha nod in defeat. We looked at Tyron who is silently laughing, hearing what they're talking about. I only hear 'Whooping' 'Videos' and 'Ass', nevermind.

"Ugh, fine! As in return, you'll give me Eminem's signed album? Please, please, please?" She said, looking at her with her puppy eyes. Vanessa, rolled her eyes in defeat.

"Fine! But, we had a deal okay? You will stop staying up aaaall~ night. And i'll give you Eminem's signed album, okay?" She said, and she just nodded at her. Vanessa bid goodbye to us, ruffling Samantha's hair and left.

"Ugh! What's with you guys, ruffling my hair all the time?" She said as she fixed her hair. We chuckled at her, I pinched her cheeks.

"You're cute~! That's why!" I said, as I stepped away from her. And opened my locker to get my things.

"I-I'm cute?" She asked herself, as the others cooed.

"Oooh~! That was smooth Byron! You really learned from the best." Gary said, and I saw Harris rolling his eyes.

"You're not the best you always made girls cry, tss." He said, scoffing at him. Gary smirked at him.

"You're just jealous Harryyyy~!" He said, and the others started teasing him, I chuckled at them. I looked at Samantha, who is looking at me. I smiled at her, and she looked away while blushing.

As we're rehearsing our steps for our performance, someone knocked in our door. Tyron opened the door, and Vanessa along with Mr. Guin appeared.

"Hello guys! Let us introduce oursleves. She's Vanessa Guin and I'm your music teacher Fey Guin!" They said. Tyron cleared his throat.

"Let us introduce oursleves too! 2! 3! We're TGHDOBRS!" We said. They smiled at us, okay. I'm feeling nervous.

"So, we're here to monitor and see what you guys have been working on! Vanessa told me about your progress and We're anticipating for your performance!" Mr. Guin said, and we nodded at him. We all took our hoverboards, and we go to our posistions. Suddenly, as I was remembering the steps, Sam walked towards me.

"Byron, I'm nervous. What if I fell? What if I messed up the choreo? What if--" I cut her off, ruffling her hair.

"Those are just 'What if's', so? What if you messed up? You'll learn from your mistakes, and took it as a lesson, okay? Good Luck!" I said to her, and she sighed in relief.

"Thank you Byron~!" She said, and hugged me, shocking me in process. I patted her back, and she walked towards her posistion. Gary patted my back, i looked at him in surprise.

"I saw that~ how is your relationship with her?" He said, and blushed.

"I-i don't know! Leave me alone, jeez!" I said embarrased at him, he laughed at my reaction and walked to his posistion.

"Okay! Are you guys ready?" Mr. Guin, asked us. We all nodded.

"Good Luck!" He said, and played our song

¦ 3 minutes later ¦

As we catch our breaths, I saw Vanessa looking at Sam with an amazed expression. She must been really proud of her.

"You're concept fitted with all of your personalities. I love it, I hope all of you will debut soon! Good luck." Mr. Guin said. We smiled at them and Vanessa walked towards Samantha.

"Brat, you did great! Greater than my expectations from you. I hope all of your hard works will be paid off soon!" she said patting her haid and she just chuckled at her. Her smile is so... beautiful, I cannot see myself looking away from her...

"Byron? Are you okay?" Harris snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Y-yeah! I'm fine, why did you ask?" when I asked him that, Gary and Drew started snickering. I raised my brows on them.

"If looks can melt anyone, Sam has already melted" Tyron said and the others teased me, I looked away from them. Ugh, these guys. I looked at Samantha again, what are you doing to my heart Sammy? I cannot see myself to stop these feeling of mine.
