Summary: So, after the amazing kiss I got from Austin at the football game, I thought everything would fall into place. But when I woke up that morning two weeks after, I realized it wouldn't when I quickly ran to the bathroom and threw up. The sad thing is, I never had sex with Austin. Because this baby isn't his. Maybe I shouldn't have done what I did?

A/N: Alright, so I'll admit, I love Sam/Austin as a couple, but I think this story will be really good in terms of what happens between Sam and Austin, Sam and Carter, and Carter and Austin. As you know, Sam got accepted into Princeton, so juggling school and motherhood will be a HUGE challenge for her, that is, if she decides to keep her baby or go to Princeton. Nearly all characters from the movie will be back, including Sam, Austin, Carter, Campus DJ (who I will name), Shelby, Rhonda, Ryan, David, Eleanor, Bobby, Gabriella, Brianna, Mr. Farrell, Terry, Madison, Caitlin, Mr. Ames, Sam's father (flashback), and, of course, what would the story be without Fiona. There will also be many new characters introduced.

The story is titled Aloha, due to the only line we got in the movie that suggested Sam/Carter.

I DO NOT own A Cinderella Story or any of the characters from the movie. I only own the characters that are of my own invention and the storyline.

Also, for this chapter, italics will be scenes from the movie, and regular print will be what I added to it.

Aloha

Chapter 1: That Chapstick Really Works For Him

by: ronaldbiliusweasley

"Sam!" called Fiona, knocking four times on the door. "Go away!" Sam cried, continuing to cry with her face on her pillow. "But Sam," said Fiona, opening the door and stepping inside, holding a plate of cookies with a letter sitting on top,"you've got a letter from Princeton."

Sam perked up and lifted herself to a sitting position on her bed as Fiona shut the door behind her. Sam was feeling good and confident, hoping the first word she read from the letter would be "Congratulations". Fiona handed Sam the letter, smiling at her as she did so. Sam half smiled as she opened the letter and began reading. Her heart immediately sank when she read the first line. "We regret to inform you that your application to Princeton University has been rejected."

"What does it say?" asked Fiona, pretending to sound sincere. Sam looked up and sighed, her eyes wet from the tears. "I didn't get in," she said, trying to stop more tears from falling. Fiona mouth formed into an O and she gasped loudly. "Oh no! And you studied so hard!" she said. Sam sighed once again and said, "I can't believe I actually thought I had a chance."

"Sam, I'm heartbroken," said Fiona, a sad look upon her face. "Life can be so unfair. Well, just look at the bright side. You have a job at the diner for the rest of your life," said Fiona, actually speaking as if this were a good thing. Sam looked at her as if she was stupid. "You want a cookie?" asked Fiona, holding the plate up to Sam and taking one herself. "Mmm, they're so moist," she said, as she took a bite out of one. Sam gave her a dirty look and Fiona took that as a cue to leave the room. Sam shoved the letter away from her and lay back down on the bed, her head on her pillow and crying her eyes out.

It took a while for Sam to finally recover and sit up on her bed, ripping the letter from Princeton to pieces and shoving the plate of cookies to the end of her bed. The day had been a total disaster. Austin could barely look at her after the skit, after he had found that "Princeton girl" was her. How could he do that? That wasn't the guy she had talked to online, the guy she had fallen for.

Sam could only think of a few people who could help her get through this. Who would help her get better. Sam got off her bed and walked quickly to the door. She opened it and ran into Brianna, who still had black goo under her eyes. Sam pushed right past her stepsister, who was pointing at her and laughing, and rushed down the stairs. Fiona was sitting on a chair in the front room, sipping water out of a glass while watching something on the television.

"Oh, Sam," she said, noticing her stepdaughter, who was rushing through the house like a madwoman. Sam grabbed her keys off the stand near the door but stepped back to look at Fiona. "I know you're still upset about that awful school not letting you in, but the bathrooms getting a little dirty, would you mind cleaning it up tonight?" said Fiona, actually trying to sound sweet. Sam didn't want anymore arguments, not now at least. "Yeah, sure," she called, already out the door. She shut the door behind her and stepped outside. Her car was sitting in front of the house, and she ran to it and hopped in the front seat, starting the engine.

She pulled onto the street and drove for a few minutes and finally reached his house. His fathers Mercedes had still not been repaired, so he had to resort to getting a rental until he could have his car back. The black Taurus rental, however, was not in the driveway, and neither was Carter's mothers car. Sam walked to Carter's doorstep and knocked, relieved when he answered the door as she was not sure he'd be home yet.

"Sam!" he said, immediately pulling her to him in a bone crushing hug. Sam wrapped her arms around him as well, beginning to cry silently into his shoulder. "Oh my god," he said, releasing her and keeping his hands on her shoulders. "You left so quickly, I wanted to run after you but I couldn't get through the crowd," said Carter, rubbing her shoulder gently.

Sam stepped inside and Carter closed the door behind her as they both stepped into the living room. "Where are your parents?" Sam managed to get out between sobs. "They're at work, come on let's go in my room," said Carter, taking a look around. The living room was a mess, as his parents had papers spread everywhere.

Sam followed Carter back to his room. It had always surprised Sam that Carter's room was pretty normal for a teenage boy. The only absent thing from his room were posters of women and dirty magazines. He had a dark green bedspread on his bed, a desk covered with textbooks and papers, a large TV with an XBOX, VCR, and DVD player, and a few movie posters on his walls. Carter sat down on his bed and Sam followed, sitting down next to him, still crying.

"Sam, listen, Shelby was a stupid bitch for doing that to you, along with her little followers," said Carter, trying to cheer her up. "I know, but I don't even care about them! Austin couldn't even look at me Carter! He couldn't even look at me, after everything we've been through!" Sam cried. "Sam he's just now realizing everything you two have been through. A minute before he found out, Princeton girl was just someone he talked to on the internet, it had to have been hard for him to finally figure out who she, or you, were," said Carter, putting his arm around her shoulder and rubbing her gently.

"But he gave me this look, Carter, like I had somehow betrayed him! I never betrayed him, he just didn't want it to be me!" Sam cried into his shoulder. She lifted one leg onto the bed and turned so that she was facing him. She threw her arms around him and he held her tightly, only wanting her to feel better.

Suddenly, Sam wasn't Sam anymore. She didn't know who she was. Her body felt so numb, and something like revenge coursed through her veins and filled her head, and all she could think of was hurting Austin, hurting him in any way for what he had done to her. She had never experienced anything like it before, but it was overpowering her. She could feel it taking over her body, and her mind.

Suddenly she pulled back from Carter, looking directly into his eyes. Carter tilted his head, giving her a questioning look as she stared at him. He tried desperately to search her eyes for what she was doing, or what she was feeling, but he never expected her to do what she did next.

Sam slowly leaned forward and placed her lips on his. The chapstick he always had with him was definitely working, as his lips were moist and soft. Carter used his hands to push her off of him. "Woah, Sam, woah, woah, woah, what the heck are you doing?" he said, looking at her with confused eyes.

Sam smiled at him and shook her head no back and forth a few times. "I don't know, Carter, but I need this right now," said Sam truthfully. She didn't know why this feeling was telling her to do this, but it was. It was telling her to get revenge. And it was telling her that her and Carter were going to be alone for hours and that it would be okay afterwards. That everything would be okay.

She leaned forward to kiss him again but he had already pulled away from her and stood off his bed. He was pacing around the room as Sam watched him. For some reason the tears were escaping from her eyes and she was watching him pace back and forth, waiting for him to sit back down.

"Sam, I...this is crazy, we've known each other since we were little kids, I mean we saw each other in diapers practically, and now you're sitting on my bed and-and you're...d-doing that," he said, motioning to where they had just been kissing only a minute ago. Sam looked up at him seriously and stood off the bed. "It doesn't have to mean anything Carter," she said, not knowing where the words were coming from, not knowing who the girl she was being was right now.

"It? Sam are-are you saying you want to-to...you know?" he said, once again motioning to the bed. He had been keeping his distance from Sam ever since she had stood up, staying on the opposite side of the room. Sam walked closer to him and he back against the wall. "Carter, listen to me. I just had my heart broken. I want to do this," she said firmly, looking up at him. Carter could not believe his ears.

This was Sam. Sam Montgomery. The girl he had known for years. The girl he had made mud pies with when they were little. The girl he had went to the playground and played with when they were little.

Then again she was also Sam. The girl he had once kissed in the second grade because his mother told him to. The girl he had spent nearly every waking moment of Elementary School and Middle School with. The girl who, in the past few years, he admitted, had grown into a beautiful woman.

"Sam, I-I just can't," he said, trying his best to convince her. Sam got closer to him, and he could see just how sad she was, just how wet and puffy her eyes were. "Please, Carter," she begged, looking into his eyes, "please."

"Sam," he said, looking down at her and swallowing loudly, "this is just a one time thing right? I mean, it won't happen again, right?" said Carter, looking at her. "Yes, Carter, a one time deal, never to happen again. I've never really kissed a guy, as you know and were reminded of earlier today, and I'm a virgin," she said, making him swallow loudly once again.

"I'd rather my first time be with someone I know is always going to be here for me, rather than some guy who will leave as soon as he gets what he wants," said Sam. Carter looked down at her. "But what about Austin?" Carter asked, trying to make her see reason. Sam didn't answer for a moment, thinking carefully about what her response. She finally decided on two words she knew would seal the deal.

"Screw Austin."

She pushed herself against him and pushed her lips against his.

Okay, so I know this would never happen. But that's why its a fanfic! lol. Basically Sam is pissed off and upset, and all teens make mistakes when they're confused like she is. And as of now, I have no idea who Sam will end up with. She could end up with Austin, Carter, or even a new character I introduce. Just because the description of the story has Sam and Carter in it and its category is romance DOES NOT mean she will end up with Carter. So please keep reading to find out!

So I hope you like it and please come back soon to read the second chapter, which I hope to have posted sometime this coming for reading and please R&R.
