I slammed the door to my locker. Another Valentine's Day by my flipping self. I turned to see my friend Kelly and her boyfriend Sumter. God, was he attractive. Wavy, brown hair, gorgeous ocean blue eyes, and a smile that even Cupid himself would kill for. Kelly waved at me as she held my—her boyfriend's hand. I kept him burning jealousy down as i looked at her forcing a smile her way.

"Hey, why the long face?" She asked me. Why the long face? Because I was trying to keep myself from melting into a puddle by the way Sumter was looking at me. It was somewhere between a look that said, 'hey, you're cute, so I'll dump your bff and date you,' and a soft smile. His eyes were hard to tell only that they were scanning my body lazily.

"I...it's Valentine's Day, and I don't have a valentine," I confessed. What I really wanted to say was, 'it's Valentine's Day, and I want to your boyfriend to be my husband.'

She made a pity face which I wanted to smack right off. "Don't worry, you'll have your true love soon. Come on Sumter honey." She kissed him in front of me before heading down the hall with him. I swear I saw him look back at me and but his lip which made me sigh. I gasped relaxing that I can't fall for my best friend's boyfriend. I sighed walking down the hallway to my next class: chemistry.

When Mr. Smith was going over the vocabulary for tomorrow's test, I was daydreaming about Sumter and I. We were in the park, and he picked me up bridal style and spun me around. Of course, he put me down, and right as he was about to kiss me, I heard Mr. Smith call my name.

"Samantha, could you tell why you're pucking your lips out like you're kissing the air?" He asked crossing his arms. The whole class laughed at me and it was so embarrassing. When class was over, I ran out as fast as I could running into Mr. Hottie himself, Sumter. He held me in his arms while giving me a charming smile.

"Why hello there beautiful. I've been staring at your sexy body for a very long time now, and Kelly is nothing compared to you Sammi. Go out with me, be my Valentine, and I'll be yours." What he did next surprised me. He leaned forward before I could say or do anything and kissed me with those wonderful lips. Of course I kissed back just to hear Kelly's screams of dismay.

"How could you?! My best friend and my boyfriend! We're done Sumter, and don't ever talk to me ever again Sammi!" She screamed before running down the hall in tears. I didn't care. I had Sumter and that's all I need.
