The heavy rains made Danny regret inviting Sam over.

What was I thinking? He asked himself. That you'd finally be able to tell her how

you feel, stupid.

Danny couldn't believe he was about to tell her.

"Danny?"

A familiar voice knocked him out of his thoughts.

Sam! He thought!

"Danny, let me in! It's freezing out here!"

"Sorry Sam," I apologized, opening the door and letting her in.

"You said this was an emergency. It better be! You made me walk two blocks in this rain!"

Danny's face fell, and Sam regret what she had said.

"I didn't mean it that way…" She trailed off. "What did you want to tell me?"

Danny took in a big breath, "Sam, I –"

He was interrupted by the sound of the phone ringing.

"Not now!" Danny yelled in exasperation. Sam almost burst out in laughter.

Nonetheless, he went and answered the phone.

"Hello?" Danny said.

"Is this the Fenton residence?" the caller said. "This is Mrs. Mason. Is Sam there?"

"Yes, she is." He replied.

"Could you be a dear, and tell her to come over? It's urgent. Thanks." She hung up before

Danny could answer.

Meanwhile, Sam was getting worried. Danny had been on the phone for only a minute or

two, but she couldn't help but think something had gone wrong. She didn't know why Danny

had called her, but she wanted to tell him how she felt about him.

Danny came through the door, looking more harried than usual.

"Danny, who was that?" Sam asked.

"It was your mom. She said you had to come home immediately." Danny sighed heavily.

"Well," Sam shifted her gaze. "Bye. I'll see you tomorrow."

Danny didn't even bother saying goodbye. He saw her out the door, and went up to his

room.

Typical of Danny to see me out in the rain, and not even bother to give me an umbrella!

Sam thought.

She pulled down her hat, and hugged her chest tightly. She ran crying in the rain, knowing

Danny could never like her, and would probably run away from her if she told him.

If I ever get the courage to tell him, that is.

The next day, Sam saw Danny put something in her locker. She was so nervous. So many

thoughts raced in her mind.

Maybe he found out I love him. Maybe he doesn't want to be friends with me anymore!

She walked slowly towards her locker. It took only two minutes, but it seemed like

forever.

When she opened her locker, she grabbed the note with shaking hands. It was unsigned,

but she knew it was from Danny. It said to meet him at the park after school. She smiled

to herself. She couldn't wait for school to finish.

­­­

School was over ten minutes ago, but Sam hadn't shown up. Danny was starting to think

she wasn't coming. He was about to leave, when he saw a familiar face running towards him.

Danny started to speak, when Sam said, "Danny, I love you!"

Sam thought he would be shocked, angry, sick, or all of the three. Instead, he grinned.

Sam was very confused. She was even more flabbergasted when Danny grabbed her hand

and started walking to his house.

On the way, Danny told her how he felt. The two were overjoyed.

"Imagine how much trouble those three words could cause!" Sam said, laughing. It

was the first time Danny had ever seen her smile. He thought she looked beautiful.

"Sam," Danny said. "This is the start of something beautiful."
