BEFORE WE BEGIN

@bemorejeremy DREW THESE AND I'M STILL FREAKING OUT (and I freaking love Sammy lil' tum!)

OKAY NOW LET'S GET TO IT!

Time: When Phoebe and Sammy were only friends

Sammy sighed as he got out of bed. One of the few things he hated about being real and alive? Waking up at an ungodly hour for school. It's not like he had anything new to learn. He used to literally be a supercomputer, he knew everything.

Still, he did have a few friends at school. He had Kamala (he's from Hawaii and Sammy absolutely loves his name), Vivian (who is dating Kamala), and last but not least, Phoebe. 

Sammy wasn't sure what to make of Phoebe. For sure, he thought they were interesting, but they didn't always get along. They were both constantly bickering and flirting at the same time.

Sammy got dressed and went downstairs to eat breakfast. He had a system: Wake up, get dressed, eat breakfast, apply makeup, and make up his hair. It was as simple as that. 

But that day? Hoo, boy. 

As soon as he walked into the kitchen, his senses were overwhelmed. 

Jeremy and Michael (who had spent the night) were running around the kitchen gathering random ingredients for... something. Sammy was pretty sure something was burning. 

"Um... what's going on?" He asked. Jeremy smiled and ran over and gave him a quick hug. '

"Breakfast!" He said, keeping his arm around Sammy's shoulder. 

"I'm pretty sure it's the end of the world." Sammy countered. 

"Listen, Gordan Ramsy, we're trying our best!" Michael yelled. 

"What are you even trying to make?" Sammy asked. 

"Cereal."

"Be serious."

"I am. Being serious," Jeremy said. Sammy didn't say anything, he just stared at them. 

"Alright," he said after an uncomfortable amount of silence "I'm out. I'll starve." He walked away and proceeded to continue getting ready. 

He walked to school, instantly regretting not eating any breakfast. In the long-run, though? It was worth it. 

Someone shouted his name. Sammy turned his head to see Vivian running towards him, her black hair in a long braid. She jumped on his back almost causing them both to fall over. 

"Do you have food?" Sammy asked. Vivian narrowed her eyes.

"I give you a nice, friendly, happy greeting and you ask for food?" She asked. Sammy nodded.

"I skipped breakfast." He said with a shrug.

"Why?"

"Would you eat burnt cereal?"

"What? Okay, I think I have something I'm willing to spare, hang on." She reached into her bag and pulled out an apple. Sammy snatched it from her hand and started chowing down. She looked at him, a disgusted expression on her face.

"Do not judge me for my sins," Sammy said. Vivan scoffed and rolled her eyes. 

"Whatever," she smirked.
"Sooo... how's it going between you and Phoebe?" She teased. Sammy almost choked on his apple.

"I'm sorry, what?" Sammy managed to say after almost dying. Again.

"It's obvious you like them. There's no need to be shy. I know I'm your best friend, I won't tell anyone, I swear! I won't even tell Kamala!" It sounded like she was begging. 

"You and I both know that you and Jeremy are my best friends, and if I were to tell anyone, it would be Jeremy. I do not like Phoebe in that way. They're cool, but I'm not sure if they're my type." Sammy explained, his face a little red. Truth be told, he did have a crush on them, but he didn't want Vivian to have that kind of knowledge. Vivian wasn't the best at keeping secrets. He will never repeat the same mistake. 

 Vivan jumped in front of Sammy and pointed her finger in his face.

"A-hA! You're not sure, which means you're questioning whether you like them or not! Samebe confirmed!" She yelled. Sammy lightly slapped her hand away.

"That's ridiculous, you're so we- wait. 'Samebe'? Why?" He asked. She shrugged. 

"It's cute, okay? I ship it. Besides, it's no secret that Phoebe likes you. I just need a confirmation from you." Vivian said. 

"They don't like me like that."

"As much as I love you, you're a clueless moron," Vivian said.

"If that ain't me in a nutshell," Sammy said with a smirk. 

"Yo!" A voice said. Vivian and Sammy turned their heads to see Kamala running towards them. He put his arm around Vivian.

"Hey, babe." He said. Sammy had to hold back his gagging. He had no problem with those two dating, of course, but god damn those nicknames really got on his nerves for some reason.

Vivian and Kamala were talking about something when someone poked Sammy's shoulder. He looked to see Phoebe. Their red hair in a pony tail, and standing at least three inches taller than Sammy. Sammy was not the tallest person you'd ever meet, meaning he is smol. Sammy is smol confirmed. 

"What's up?" They asked. Sammy went to describing the burnt cereal incident.

"Yikes. That sucks. Hey, I think I have some beef jerky? Do you want some?" Phoebe offered. Sammy was hesitant because you never knew what to expect with Phoebe. However, at that moment, he was too hungry to care. 

"Yes, please." Phoebe reached into their bag and handed one to him. He snarfed it down. 

"Ew. You're disgusting sometimes." They commented. 

"You're disgusting." Sammy retorted.

"Is that any way to speak to someone who just gave you food?"

"No... sorry."

"And I forgive you. See? This is true friendship. I'm glad you're learning a thing or two from me." Phoebe said with a smile, nudging Sammy's side with their elbow. Sammy laughed.

"You're impossible." He said.

"I know. Isn't it fantastic?"

Before they could continue their discussion, the bell rang. Phoebe sighed for what was probably an inappropriate amount of time. 

"I'll see you at lunch!" Vivian said to everyone. They all nodded and headed their separate directions.

Everything was going the same as usual (which is to say, unbelievably boring. Although, someone did almost catch on fire in Science. Sammy wasn't sure, but he was pretty sure the kid's name was 'Dan'. But Dan was not on fire, so) and he couldn't wait for lunch.

FINALLY, after what seemed like an eternity, lunch arrived. Once he was sitting with his friends, he took his phone out and texted Jeremy.

TheSamMan: Hey-o

Jermmy: Shouldn't you be learning things?

TheSamMan: Listen m8 it's lunch time

Jermmy: Oh mkay

TheSamMan: Okay so do you think anyone's ever had an allergic reaction to celery???

Jermmy: Why are you like this

TheSamMan: Hey, I'm just trying to find some answers!

Jermmy: Why?

TheSamMan: Science

TheSamMan: Anyway, how's it going so far?

Jermmy: Good. Michael almost passed out tho

TheSamMan: What? Why? Was the burnt cereal getting to him?

Jermmy: No, I'm pretty sure it's because he ate too much of my pie

TheSamMan: You have pie?

"Sammy!" A voice yelled. He looked up to see his friends staring at him. 

"...What did I miss?" He asked. Phoebe huffed and looked away, their face red.

"Nothing important apparently," They mumbled. Vivian awkwardly laughed. 

"Sammy? A moment?" She asked. She didn't wait for an answer. He grabbed his arm and pulled him away from the group. 
'What were you doing?" She demanded. 

"Texting my brother. Why?" He asked. Vivan huffed. 

"Didn't you hear what Phoebe asked you?" She asked. Sammy shook his head. 

"They asked you on a date numbnuts! And you just stared at your phone! You're the dumbest genius I've ever met!" She whisper-yelled. 

"Wait, Phoebe asked me on a date? Like actually?" Sammy asked. 

"YeS, THeY dId gO apOLoGisE!" She said, her voice cracking. Sammy nodded and ran back to the table, Vivian in close pursuit. Vivian grabbed Kamala's hand and dragged him away, much to his confusion.

Sammy sat next to Phoebe and instantly started apologising, explaining that he wasn't paying attention. 

"Listen, man, it's okay, really." They said. Sammy shook his head. 

"No, it isn't! I should've been paying attention, I'm sorry!" He quickly said. Phoebe put their hand on Sammy's mouth, causing him to stop talking. 

"Samuel Heere. I am telling you that I forgive you, and if you keep apologising, I will throw this sandwich in your face," Phoebe said. Sammy nodded and Phoebe moved their hand away. 

"So... Vivian told me that you asked me out?" Sammy said. Phoebe nervously laughed. 

"Yeah... I kinda did." They admitted. 

"Well, I'd be happy to go out with you. If that's still okay? Um?" Sammy muttered. Phoebe nodded in response. 

The whole exchange was very sweet but very awkward. It was really awkward.

~later~

"DUDE, YOU HAVE A DATE!? WITH WHOM!?" Jeremy yelled. Sammy covered his ears.

"Silence yourself! And it's with Phoebe!" Sammy quickly said. Jeremy gasped and smiled. 

"Oh my god! This is amazing! Where are you going to go? Did you ask her- sorry, them! I'm still getting used to it- out? Did they ask you? I NEED DETAILS!" Jeremy yelled while shaking Sammy's shoulders.

"Calm down you walnut, or I won't tell you anything!" Sammy threatened. Jeremy stopped shaking him and gasped.

"You wouldn't." He whispered.

"Try me."

Jeremy narrowed his eyes but stopped talking. 

"Okay, so we were wondering if you could drive us to the park later today. It's too far for us to walk and you can drive pretty okay. And, yes, they asked me." Sammy explained. Jeremy looked like he was about to explode with happiness, but thankfully he kept his mouth shut.

"Yes, I will drive you to the park! Me and Michael are supposed to meet Rich and Jake there anyway, so it won't be a problem!" Jeremy exclaimed. Sammy sighed.

This was going to be one long day.

OKAY I'M SORRY BUT I REALLY NEEDED TO WRITE PHOEBE AND SAMMY STUFF BECAUSE THOSE TWO ARE REALLY CUTE 

THIS WASN'T MY INTENTION

ALSO YES PHOEBE IS TALLER THAN SMOL SAMMY AND LIKES TO BE THE LITTLE SPOON WHEN SNUGGLING 

Okay, I should probably stop yelling and get back to good grammar. 

Anyway, the next bonus chapter will probably be RichJake.  

Alrighty, until next chapter!

Stay awesome fabulous t-rexs!
