Author Note: So you probably want to kill me, but yes, it's finally out, after what? Like nearly 7months? I'm not proud, trust me. My friend I mentioned? He spammed my email inbox with like 64 messages just because I hadn't updated. So thank him, your brilliant reviews, and a humorous crazy story I read last night for this update. It all inspired me. hehe.

Also, the story is set in England, so they attend a Sixth Form College, Sixth form is basically the same as college, I myself don't know the exact difference even though I live in England. People just say a Sixth form is better than a simple college? But writing Sixth form takes so long so I'll just refer to their school as a college. Hope that makes sense. Please enjoy...

Chapter four

Killer Barbie and her Grimy Gossip

-

I woke up this morning in an unfamiliar room, and my first thought was 'Oh my god, I've been kidnapped!' Then all the events from yesterday came rolling back into my brain as it slowly started functioning. And let me tell you they were not good reminders, because I then realised I have another two weeks to spend with this loony boy called Sebastian.

Yes, that's his full name which I forced out of him yesterday before going to sleep. Although I kind of figured it out anyway, I mean what else could Seb be short for? Sebanthony? Is that even a name?

My victory was short lived however as now he's taken a liking to calling me Samantha.

I slowly trudged out of bed and made my way to the bathroom, which was attached to the guest bedroom. I do love his house. So after doing the usual morning necessities, I contemplated over what to wear, even though I only had like three outfits. Eventually I settled on a nice pair of skinny jeans and fitting top. I was sitting in front of the mirror having applied some light make up, and fixing my hair when I heard loud knocking on my door, and before I had time to respond it flew open and four boys came tumbling in.

I jumped a bit freaked out and the hairbrush flew out of my hand hitting one of the boys on the head. The dressing table which I was sat at is beside the door so I did not hit him on purpose, he was just….there. Plus he was already on the floor since he fell when the door opened, so it's his fault for intruding!

"Oww!" Hairbrush boy said rubbing his head. "Seb, you said she was weird but you didn't say she was aggressive!"

"Yeah, and you didn't mention how fit she is either," said another boy standing behind said boy with a smirk on his face.

I didn't know whether those things were compliments or insults. So Sebastian has been talking about me? My eyes roamed over the four intruders and I noticed Seb was amongst them. I caught his gaze and shot him my best evil eyes, he responded with a wide grin. "Morning Samantha," he said.

"Morning Sebastian" I said through gritted teeth.

"Me and my friends here thought we could….take you out for the day?" he suggested.

"And who might these friends be exactly?" I said gesturing towards them all.

"Oh yeah, forgot about that. Right, this is Tyler," he said pointing to the boy I hit with my hairbrush. His sandy blonde hair which is cut in some funky hair style similar to Seb's was spiked up and his light brown eyes held friendliness in them as he shot me a grin.

I smiled in return "Sorry about the hairbrush."

He laughed lightly "No worries."

"This is Nathan" he said pointing to the boy who had described me as 'fit'.

His light brown hair was slightly long, a few strands falling into his brown eyes and his smirk was still on his face as he gave me a slight nod, which I responded to with a slight tilt of my head.

"And this is Andrew," he said pointing to the boy beside him who hadn't said anything yet. Andrew nodded at me too, why do boys do that? Andrew's hair looked short from what I could see underneath his era cap.

So I guess their descriptions don't really help, since well…..anyone can have brown hair and blue eyes, but….who knows if they're really good looking? But let me tell you, I think I was one of the luckiest girls in the world to have all four of them in my room because they are pretty damn sexy.

Mwahahaha, are you jealous?

You best be!

"Now that introductions are over, and you boys all know this is Sam, shall we get going?" asked Seb.

My mind went blank for a moment, what was he talking about?

"Wait! Where do you want to take me?" I suddenly asked my thoughts coming back to earth.

"Err…" Seb looked around at the boys.

"Well, what do you want to do?" asked Andrew. The first thing he'd said so far.

My face lit up with joy "I want to go shopping," I really do love shopping. I know it sounds typical because I'm a girl (even though not all girls like shopping actually) but it's just fun. Plus the fact I have hardly anything with me so I need to buy clothes and such and now would be the perfect opportunity.

All the boys seemed to roll their eyes. "Alright….shopping it is," said Seb.

"Okay! But wait….I don't have any money," I said frowning.

"Hmm….we could pay for you," suggested Tyler.

"What? No way! I can't take your money, you have no idea how much I shop. Plus I have nothing with me here so I have quite a lot to buy and that will cost….a lot," I said.

"So? I don't know if you've realised but Seb here is pretty rich, with cash to spend, and so is Nathan. Take advantage," Tyler spoke smirking suggestively. "Plus I don't mind giving you some money and I'm sure Andrew won't. There's nothing wrong with treating a sweet girl such as you," he finished winking. Heat rose to my cheeks as I blushed at his comment.

"Err…" my eyes roamed over all of them, they all nodded at me. "But…. I buy so much…."

"If you're really bothered you could always pay us back later. Let's just go, and we'll see, yeah?" suggested Nathan.

"Fine, give me a minute then," I gazed around the room and grabbed my jacket and slipped my mobile in my pocket, I had charged it last night. If it had been charged yesterday I would have been able to call my parents and would not be in this situation! I then finished brushing my hair and put it up in a high ponytail, applied some more lip gloss and slipped that in my pocket too and then I was set to go.

While I was getting ready I realised the boys had been standing watching me. "You should have left your hair down," said Seb lightly.

"But we're going shopping; I'm a girl on a mission. And when I'm on a mission, my hair must be up!" I explained, hiding a blush and secretly storing the information in what he had said.

They all gave me a strange look. "Oh you wouldn't understand, you have short hair and you're boys!"

"All set then?" said Tyler.

"Yes!" I replied enthusiastically, and then we were off.

We reached downstairs when Seb pointed out I hadn't eaten. So they waited for me while I had some toast in a rush, I wasn't very hungry anyway.

Once we were outside the house I realised there was another car in the driveway, an Audi R8. What is with these boys and their bloody cars? Are they trying to make me even more jealous?

"Oh...my god. Whose car is that?!" I said staring at the Audi.

"That would be mine babe," said Nathan stepping forward.

"Oh," I said, my excitement coming to a halt. The others noticed and laughed. "Why do you guys insist on calling me babe?" I asked.

"Because that's what you are," said Nathan.

"Whatever," I said rolling my eyes.

"Can we just go?" asked Tyler, I could tell he was getting impatient.

"Do you both not drive?" I asked.

"Oh we all drive, it was just easier catching a lift," explained Andrew.

"Oh, right. I am so jealous right now. Not only can you drive but you have sexy cars too," I said staring at the Audi longingly.

"And we're sexy too!" cried Tyler.

"Pssh, you wish," I said turning away.

"Oh, that hurt babe. That really hurt," Nathan joined in clutching at his heart.

"Wanna' know what really hurts?" I said walking towards him threateningly. He stared at me wide eyed.

"You really are aggressive aren't you? First throwing a hair brush at me and now trying to kick Nathan in the balls," Tyler said in a dramatically sad voice.

"Don't forget the shoe she chucked at me!" joined in Seb.

"It was an accident!" I exclaimed. He will never let me live that down will he?

They all laughed and soon we were off. Seb insisted I catch a lift with him and I reluctantly accepted, still weary of his driving habits. But I didn't want to go in Nathan's car either as I felt it would boost his ego too much. Tyler came with us because he persisted he couldn't bear to be apart from me. That left Andrew and Nathan who went in his car.

The drive to the shopping centre took about 15 minutes. We made our way from the parking lots using the lift and I looked at all the shops with wide eyes shining with joy.

"Are you guys sure about this?" I asked again. This time they looked a bit uneasy, I think it was due to the glint in my eyes, but they nodded nonetheless.

Soon I was off, dragging them with me from store to store. When I went to try on things Nathan suggested coming with but I rolled my eyes and said a disgusted 'You wish' in return he gave a miserable pout.

In three hours I had ten bags all in the biggest sizes from the stores. I had been to Republic, River Island, Top Shop, Dorothy Perkins, Miss Selfridge, Schuh and JD sports. I bought tops, jackets, jumpers, jeans, skirts, jogging bottoms and much more especially SHOES, in all different styles. Oh, and some jewellery too!

We walked out of Schuh and the boys slumped down on a bench dropping the bags at their feet's, exhausted. So perhaps I don’t need all the clothes while I'm staying with Seb, I mean I won't wear that much in two weeks. But I couldn't resist, I'll pay him back!

I'd also noticed how Seb had taken it upon himself to pay for everything. It wasn't that the others didn't offer, for some weird reason Seb just butted in and gave me a smile insisting it was his 'treat'.

"You were serious!" moaned Tyler.

"About what?" I asked confused, standing in front of them.

"About your shopping," he replied. I gave him a puzzled look.

"How can a girl shop so much?!" asked Andrew. I shot him a sheepish grin.

"We know a lot of girls, but believe me when I say none of them shop like you!" exclaimed Nathan. I rolled my eyes, was he serious?

"Seriously, they take their time and it gets annoying and all. But you're like on a roll. One thing to the other continuously just buying and buying!" said Seb.

I laughed. "Well, if you know what you want and like, just buy it! That's what I think anyway. Sorry for spending so much, I'll pay you back!" I said.

Seb shook his head, "It's not that. I just find it amazing you don't get tired."

"Oh, but it's so much fun, plus I'm making up for all the shopping I would have done if I was in France!" I said grinning.

"Can we eat?" spoke up Andrew. The rest of them nodded in agreement.

"Sure," I said. Maybe I could shop while they were eating, because I still needed to buy undergarments and such and I really didn't want to do that with them.

We started walking towards the food courts and I hung back, tugging on Seb's arm. He looked at me and said "Yeah?"

"Erm…while you guys eat…could I just pop to the shops again? I need to get something else," I said.

He gave me an incredulous look. "More? Can't you just eat with us and then we can all go together?" he stated the obvious.

"Err….I wouldn't want to drag you guys with me again, especially since you're all tired…." I said.

"Oh, we don't mind. Just come and eat first, and then we can go together," he insisted.

I huffed in annoyance but followed anyway. I decided I'd eat quickly and then go.

We went to KFC and the boys ordered so much. I just got some Popcorn Chicken, Chips and Chocolate chipped cake for desert.

"You really don't eat much," said Andrew, observing my food.

"I do…..just not as much as you," I said.

He laughed, "I'll let that slide."

"Well she ate all my pizza yesterday," spoke up Seb. "And then she squashed the last piece."

"What?" they all said through chuckles and mouths full of food; definitely a sight worth remembering.

"It's a long story!" I said cutting in. Seb rolled his eyes but dropped the subject.

Tyler asked, "So what now?"

"I have a few more things to buy….I could meet you guys later?" I suggested.

"Or we could all go together," said Nathan.

"But…I feel bad dragging you with me. You could go….do something, while I shop" I persisted.

"We're really not that bothered about going with you," said Andrew.

"But…" I trailed off trying to think of an excuse.

"What's the problem anyway? What else do you need?" asked Seb.

"Sebastian!" I groaned.

"Samantha!" he mocked.

"I need….simple necessities" I said slowly. They all stared at me blankly for a while.

"Oh! Girl stuff, like….pads and tampons?" said Tyler loudly, I swear a few heads turned! Understanding dawned on all their faces - I went bright red.

"Amongst other things," I mumbled.

"So, we can still come, we don't mind!" said Nathan smirking.

"But I don't want you there!" I finally shouted.

They all laughed at my obvious pain. "It's too late now babe," said Seb standing up.

We all threw away our trash and I rushed ahead, trying to lose them. I made my way to La Senza and grabbed any sets of bras and underwear that I liked, checking they were in my sizes and rushed to the till. Only then did I realise I had no money on me, since the boys (or should I say Sebastian) had been paying. I groaned in frustration, apologised to the cashier and told her I'd be back in a minute.

I walked out of the shop and found the boys grinning at me. "This is not funny!" I scolded.

"It really is," assured Seb.

"Oh, just shut up and give me some money," I said.

He shook his head and walked inside the shop, the others following him with cocky and insufferable expressions. I followed inside and made my way back to the till, my head bowed down and the heat rising to my cheeks.

The girl at the till looked at the boys in a 'come hither' kind of way, especially Seb. I don't know why, but all of a sudden I didn't like this girl. Maybe it was because she didn't understand my feminine pain and I felt she should have given me the undergarments for free rather than making me go through this.

I nudged Seb to hurry up but he took his time, although he managed to sweet talk the girl into giving us a 50 percent discount which I found rather amazing.

Nevertheless, I decided I did not want to go through that torture again; luckily I had gotten enough undergarments in La Senza even in my hastiness. Once inside Boots I rushed through the pads and tampons isle grabbing all I needed while the boys laughed at me. I would have been okay, since I'm only staying with Seb for two weeks; if it hadn't been for the fact I'm due on this week. I then grabbed things like a toothbrush (although Seb had given me a spare at their house), shampoo etc. After Seb paid again, I was done.

"All finished," I said once we were outside the shop.

"Finally," they all said in unison. I checked the time, it was around 5pm. We all kind of just stood around in an awkward silence pondering over what to do next.

"Err…" I started inelegantly. But then I was rudely interrupted by an uninvited individual.

"Sebastian!" I heard a shrill voice cry.

I covered my ears as a reflex and slowly turned my head in terror to see where the horrible sound had emanated from and was met by a horrific sight.

My eyes went wide at the sight before me; it was Killer Barbie!

The glowing locks of blonde reached down below her shoulders, her bright lip gloss shining in the light and the layers of foundation clearly visible. Her mascara was so heavy her lashes were all practically stuck together, and the blusher was so dark it looked like dodgy tan marks. Her body was uncovered by a short mini skirt, and a tight top accompanied by a belt. She wore some killer stiletto heels and had a hand bag which I'm sure contained other deadly weapons like poisonous perfume.

A scream escaped my throat when I looked at her, but I quickly held a hand over my mouth, the look of terror gleaming in my eyes.

Samantha's handy book of rules: Trying to escape The Killer

Rule number 1: You should never significantly expose yourself to The Killer!

Everyone turned to look at me, including Killer Barbie, my breath caught it my throat. She gave me a long considering look and raised her perfectly sculpted brow before returning her attention to the boys.

"Sebastian, where have you been?" she ordered.

"Oh you know, around," Seb replied nonchalantly. I watched the scene before my eyes while slowly inching my way closer to Tyler for protection.

"Why have you not been answering my calls?!" she demanded.

"Oh, I didn't realise you'd been calling me," he said offhandedly.

The Killer Barbie sighed in frustration. "What are you all doing here?" she questioned glancing at all the bags in the boys hands.

"We're shopping with Sam here," Seb said walking over towards me and putting his arm around my shoulders.

Is he mentally unstable?

Is he trying to get me killed?

Most like yes, but that's not the point here!

Kill Barbie glared at me and Seb's arm menacingly, if glares could kill I would be 10 feet below the ground by now. I shuddered inwards and attempted a small smile.

Rule number 2: Do not impose as a threat to The Killer.

Remind me to kill Sebastian if I get out of this alive.

Remind me to haunt him if I die.

Rule number 3: Try to make it evident that you are in fact not a threat and only have good intentions.

Oh my dear Superman, I have not heard from you in a while.

K.B also known as Killer Barbie gave me a cold smile, only slightly tilting up the corner of her mouth.

"Sam, this is Georgia, she goes to our school," Seb explained.

I don't think I've explained everything properly. Although Sebastian has moved in next door to me, he doesn't need to move Sixth Form College because it turns out his college is only a fifteen minute drive from our houses. His old house is on the other side of his school in like the opposite direction, so I guess the college is kind of in the middle of both his houses. My college is also quite near, it takes about the same amount of time to get there as Sebastian's, but it's in a different direction.

Does that make sense?

I know that some people know like lots of people from different schools in the area, but I don't really keep up with who attends what school. So I doubt I know anyone from Sebastian's school even if it is pretty near. I've probably passed them in the area, or seen them shopping but taken no notice of it, I'm quite oblivious like that. I mean I'm not a social outcast, me and my friends get invited to parties and we go to them too, I just….don't pay attention to everyone. I have enough people in my own school as it is, I don't need to know all the people who attend all the other schools, do I? That's why I didn't recognise any of Seb's friend, or K.B.

"So how do you know Sebastian?" Killer Barbie asked whilst giving me the evil eyes.

"Well….I don't really…." I began to say.

"We're living together," Seb provided for me.

I heard the boys snicker around us whilst K.B started to turn slightly red; she was ready to attack.

Repeat Rule number 2: Do not impose as a threat to The Killer!

Somebody prepare a fire extinguisher!

She's gonna' blow!

"We do not!" I exclaimed.

"Oh really?" she asked. This was my one and only chance to save myself from the wrath of Killer Barbie. At the same time it really angered me that she thought she could barge over to us and try to kill me without expecting a fight.

Rule number 4: Play the killer at his/her own game!

Who needs Superman when you've got Samantha Power? This is Power puff style!

"No, not exactly, Sebastian has moved in next door to me, you might have heard? He's helping me out so I guess I am staying with him at the moment, we've been really busy, maybe that's why he hasn't been answering your calls?" I said smiling sweetly.

I heard the boys trying to hold back their laughter even more, and I bit my tongue to stop my own.

Killer Barbie huffed in annoyance. "So what school do you go to?" she asked.

"Fairview," I answered. Her face twisted into an expression of deep thought. I could hear the knots and bolts working inside her brain at great speed.

"Oh my god, are you Sam, Sam?!" she questioned, as if that made all the sense in the world.

I rolled my eyes. "Care to enlighten us with what the hell you mean by that?" I asked.

"You're the girl who went out with Dean Thompson," she exclaimed, emphasising Dean's name.

The boys turned to stare at me. Okay, what the hell just happened?

How does she know me…and my love life?

Is she a stalker?

My eyes turned wide; first Sebastian now her.

What is with these people?

"Err….yes…and?" I asked warily.

"Dean Thompson is like the most popular guy in your school. Everyone knows him," she paused patiently, as though waiting for me to say something. I didn't, so she continued, "He cheated on me, with you," she explained.

Oh shit.

"Heh….what?" I asked nervously.

"You're Samantha, come on, you're like the most popular girl in your school. Don't act so innocent," she spoke bitterly getting annoyed.

Okay….most popular girl in my school?

I thought about it for a while. I guess I do get invited to like every social event. Random people do somehow know me…

Gosh, I really am oblivious.

"Okay, ermm….I highly doubt I'm the most popular girl in school. So maybe you've heard of me randomly. And yeah I did go out with Dean, but that was like a mistake. He's a complete jerk, so to be honest, be happy you're not with him now, because he's really not worth it," I said.

"You dumped him," she said with wide eyes, as if trying to tell me something gravely important.

"Yeah…he was a prick," I said.

"But, you're like the first girl to ever dump Dean. I was going to be that girl, I was going to dump him," she said grumpily.

Oh gosh.

Rule number four: If caught in a tricky situation with The Killer…run.

And that was exactly what I did, I ran.
