the bell rang, releasing the entire school for lunchtime. sam texted michael asking where they should meet, and he told her he'd be waiting outside of her classroom since he was just down the hall. and true to his word, there he stood in his blue haired glory, smiling brightly as she stepped over the threshold.

"michael!" sam said, reaching up with her free hand to touch his newly dyed hair. his eyes closed in pleasure, leaning into her touch. her fingers threaded through it a couple times before her hand went back to her side. "it looks kinda nice." she teased, rolling her eyes and pulling her phone out of her back pocket.

"aw, i thought you were gonna say i look sexy." michael pouted, taking sam's textbook from her arms so she could text with both hands. "who ya textin'?"

"luke, he wants to know where i am."

"clingy much?" michael scoffed. "we literally just got out of class, like, not even a minute ago."

sam shrugged, taking her book back from the boy with a silent nod. the two walked back to her locker where she stuffed everything inside and grabbed her purse, double checking for money. when she finally locked everything back up, she flicked her hair over her shoulder and turned to look at michael, who was leaning against the wall with a stupid grin on his face. "so, where are we gonna go?"

"food." he answered simply. michael grabbed sam's wrist and towed her along, slowly slipping his hand into hers and hoping she wouldn't do anything about it. their fingers intertwined behind his back and he couldn't fight the smile that made his way onto his face; he had to bite his lip to choke it down.

when they finally made it to his car, they both slid in and michael exited the student parking lot, driving through town and pulling into a pizza place, much to sam's dismay. "i've ate so much pizza recently, i think i'm gonna die. and you work with pizza all the time, how can you possibly want to eat it? c'mon, can't we go somewhere else?" pouted the girl, leaning back in the passenger seat.

"nope." michael killed the engine and got out, waiting for sam in front of the car. "don't worry about paying, i gotcha."

"but--"

"shhh," he said, reaching for her hand in the same fashion as before. sam didn't even notice that he did so; their fingers locked together with ease as they both stood in line. "so, how has your day been?" asked michael, having to look down slighty to see sam's eyes.

she frowned. today wasn't the best for her, actually. luke texting her every 2 seconds about being out with michael wasn't helping her mood. "it's eh. not spectacular, but not awful. just one of those days."

the blue haired boy jutted out his bottom lip in a cute pout. "aw, i'm sorry, sammy." he stroked her knuckles with his thumb. sam was now aware of the action; her eyes flicked down their clasped hands, but she made no move to take hers back. it actually felt kind of nice. "tomorrow'll be better."

"i hope." she blew out a long breath, stepping forward as another customer received their order. "how 'bout you, blue?"

michael laughed, finding it amusing that she rhymed. "i have blue hair dye on my neck and behind my ears and people keep saying they liked the orange better. kinda making me regret dying it, but hey, anything for the girl that loves me, right?" he teased, smiling with his tongue poking between his teeth.

sam covered her face with her free hand. "oh my god, stop, you suck!" she laughed. "we can move up now."

"oh, right." michael recovered from staring at their intertwined fingers. "hey, can i get two pieces of pepperoni pizza, with extra pepperoni?" he told the cashier, who nodded and gave him the total. michael paid and the two waited on the side for their order. neither of them were exactly happy about having to let go of each other when they received their food, but both refused to show it.

the two sat down next to a big window. sam took a big bite out of her slice before unattractively dropping it out of her mouth. "ow, shit, that's hot." she fanned her mouth, taking a sip from michael's sprite and sucking in cold breaths.

michael smirked, sipping from his straw. "we just inadvertently kissed. i just kissed you, sam hodgens."

"sorry, i didn't realize we were twelve."

"ouch. that hurt."

sam tried again, blowing on her pizza before eating it again, a small whimper falling from her throat. michael raised an eyebrow as he bent over his plate to eat his too. sam laughed behind her hand, swallowing and wiping her mouth with a napkin. "you know what?" she said.

"what?" michael asked, not really paying attention. he was more focused on trying not to let his cheese drip off.

"i think this may be the perfect pizza."

the boy immediately perked up, setting down his food and smiling widely. "really?"

sam nodded, laughing when michael did a little dance in his seat. "yes!" he cheered, clapping his hands excitedly.

"but,"

michael immediately stopped moving and frowned. "but?"

"you didn't make it, so it doesn't count."

"sam!" michael groaned, reaching across the table to squeeze her free hand. "you make everything so difficult."

she giggled at his frustration, looking at the way her hand fit in his large one with a small smile on her lips. "hey, if it makes you feel any better, i do think you look nice with the blue hair. maybe better than the orange."

"...just a little bit."
