This is going to be my first long story. Enjoy! :)

Carly's POV

I had the best Friday ever! You're probably wondering why? Well, Eric Walton, the hottest guy on the Football team just asked me to be his girlfriend. He is so amazing and hot that it hurts! He has dark brown hair, crystal blue eyes so beautiful that they sparkle; he's got strong muscles, can lift up heavy weight and always stays in good shape.

"So do you want me to walk you home?" He asked me.

I felt my cheeks turn a bright pink. I could feel my heart melt into goo. "Sure. Let me get my bag first." I answered.

I skipped to my locker feeling like a princess who was going to marry the most handsome prince in the world. Freddie walked over to me with his usual friendly smile. "Sup?" He asked.

I don't have to worry about hurting Freddie's feelings anymore. I think he got over his big crush on me. He might like Rhoda Perks, who I caught him winking at. He found her very attractive and drop dead gorgeous. All the guys wanted her...well except for mine of course.

"You know Eric Walton from the Football team?" I asked.

"Yeah. What about him?"

"He asked me to be his girlfriend!" I exclaimed, overwhelmed with happiness. I jumped up and down grabbing Freddie's hands. I was like an excited little girl getting a new toy.

"That's awesome." He replied, sounding just as happy as me.

"I know." I smiled as I caught a glimpse of Eric at his locker. He was talking to some of his friends who were also on the Football team. He saw me, waved and flashed his award winning smile at me. I felt myself wanting to blush again.

I turned back to Freddie. "He's taking me to a movie tonight. So what are your plans for the weekend?"

He shrugged. "Well I uh, I planned on watching some horror movies but my mom blocked all the channels that are over the rating G. She thinks I'd be better off watching Zeebo The Dinosaur, some show like that."

"Wow, so your mother still pretty much treats you like a baby and controls your life?" I asked as I chuckled a little.

"Yeah, she's probably going to baby me till I'm in my fifties." He answered, trying to make a joke out of it.

I kind of felt bad for Freddie. It must be hard to have a mother who won't let you have your own freedom and is always treating you like a baby. I remember my mother. The last time I've seen her was when I was six. My Dad was going in the military and my mom was sick and died. I was very sad because she meant everything to me.

Eric walked over to me and put a hand around my back. "Are we ready to hit the road?" He asked.

I smiled. "Let's do it."

We walked out of the building hand in hand like any happy couple would. Tonight was going to be one of the best nights of my life. I am sure this time that I have found my guy. I know I'm only sixteen and that's a lot to say, but he's so sweet and handsome, can you really blame me? Sparks fly when I'm with him. I watched as a few beautiful blue birds flew over to nearby trees. It was beautiful and it looked like those two blue birds were in love, just like me and Eric are.

Pretty soon we entered the apartment. He even opened the door for me. Such a gentleman. Along the way he was telling such great jokes and I mean GREAT! I was cracking up. I have never met a guy that could be this funny and interesting. Sure Griffin was cool. Until I found out about his Peewee Babies obsession and that's all he can think about, but I have a feeling that things are going to be different with Eric. He is going to make me feel more special and loved than any other guy I have dated in the past.

We entered my loft. Spencer was in the living room making another sculpture, like always. This time he was making a dinosaur made out of pottery clay and sand. Spencer raised his eyebrow as he saw Eric.

"Who's this dude?" He asked, wanting me to give him deets.

I laughed. "Oh, this is Eric Walton. He goes to my school. He's the same age, same grade and he's on the Football team. We've been hanging out since last month when I was showing him around and he just told me that he liked me and asked me to be his girlfriend." I explained, smiling as I remembered the first day we met. It felt like just yesterday.

Spencer and Eric shook hands. "Pleasure to meet you. Want to see some of my best sculptures I've been working on?"

"Well actually I was just getting ready to leave." Eric tried to explain as politely as he could.

"So um, I'll see you tonight?" I asked, wanting to make sure that our movie plan wasn't changed.

"See you around sixish." He answered in his flirty tone that made me go weak to my knees.

I smiled as I watched him leave our apartment, then I turned my attention back on Spencer. "Your sculpture is really getting good."

He grinned, taking pride in his work. "Thanks. So my little sis has another boyfriend?"

"Yep, but he's not like the other boys I dated. He's different. He's very sweet and nice, and also he's on the Football team. My kind of guy."

I skipped to my bed room and shut the door. I decided to listen to some music on my iPod. I played the Headphones On song. It's a pretty good song and my all time favorite.

Freddie's POV

Ever since Carly told me that Eric asked her out, I've been feeling jealous. The truth is, I'm not over Carly. I just try not to be too eager because as I got older, I realized girls don't want guys who come across too eager. They want guys who keep cool, so I've been a good friend and tried my hardest to except the fact that she doesn't love me but it really stings. I have been in love with her for five years, ever since the day I met her I have always hoped and dreamed of us someday getting together. I sighed as I opened the door to my apartment. Sometimes I just wish that I never took Sam's advice and ended things with Carly. We probably would have still been together and I could have been that boy she was holding hands with.

I was interrupted by my thoughts when I heard my mother call my name. She told me that it was time for my tick bath again. I keep telling her that I don't have flees, I'm not a dog! But she doesn't listen. I bet Eric is one special dude to have Carly. He sure is definitely lucky. Eric is the kind of guy that any girl would want to date, especially Carly.

He's the guy who's on the Football team and me...well I'm just the boy next door, in the apartment across from Carly's.

I was so bummed, so I grabbed for my iPod that was on my night stand, placed the ear buds in my ears and listened to some nice music. I even had the song that Carly and I danced to at the Groovy Smoothie last year. It's one of my favorites.

I remember the very first day I met Carly. I was being picked on by some jerks who were calling me a nerd and trying to shove my head in a locker. Carly walked right over and told them to stop. She was the only one who wanted to be my friend. She helped me pick up the books that I dropped, helped me up and asked if I was okay and that was when I knew I was in love, right when my eyes met her and she gave me hope on making friends. There was one thing I didn't like, the fact that she was friends with Sam. I don't hate Sam so much now, I'm used to her constant verbal and physical abuse, but then I couldn't stand her. She always took my stuff, called me mean names, she even made fun of my crush on Carly.

Carly found out about my crush the week after we met and she told me that she just wants to be friends and it seems like nothing is going to change. I guess Carly isn't the girl for me after all and maybe I should move on.

i got a text message on my Cell Phone, it was from Sam. It read:

I'm in Carly's apartment,

She told me to text you, she wants to see you

and blah blah blah,

so get over here you dorkwad!

With lots of hate, Sam

Oh and ps, Carly will never love you, EVER!

I sighed as I read the last part. She was right about that. It's been five years, if Carly was ever going to love me, we would have already been together by now, I can't compare to the Mr. Awesome Eric, Football guy and I couldn't compare to any of the other guys that wooed Carly.

I texted her back.

Coming you meat loving freak.

I turned off the phone and left my apartment. I entered Carly's loft and spotted her in the kitchen, pouring herself a glass of Diet Peppy Cola. "Sup?" I asked.

She smiled at my attempt. "Hey, did you get Sam's text message?"

I nodded. "More than you'd imagine."

"She insulted you again, didn't she?" She asked knowingly.

"Same old Sam, nothing ever changes. So where's Sir Eric at?"

"He's going to be here in like, oh my gosh, one minute!" She panicked. "How's my hair?"

I smiled. I liked it when she got insecure. "You look great, like always."

"Thanks, I better get going, make sure Sam stays out of trouble for me." She replied.

Their was knocking at the door and there he was, Mr. awesome, dressed so nicely and Carly was drooling over him. I didn't want my jealousy to show. I had to keep my cool. After all, this guy makes Carly really happy then I guess I should be happy for her.

"Who's this guy?" Eric asked.

"This is Freddie, one of my best friends and he's the tech producer of iCarly." She answered.

"Were you two in a relationship?" He asked.

"Oh no, not at all, God no."

I felt my heart sink when she said that. I guess our relationship that we had after I saved her life didn't mean anything to her. I slapped myself mentally. Stupid Freddie, stupid Freddie. I should have never broken up with her in the first place, I didn't want to but it was wrong to date just because she was taken back by my heroic actions.

"Good, then you are one lucky girl to have me." Eric replied.

They walked out, hand in hand. The sight made me sick to my stomach. Sam had a smirk on her face as she saw the expression that my face held. She playfully slapped my back a few times. "Well, it looks like someone's jealous." She told me teasingly.

"Jealous? What? No one's jealous. I'm over her." I lied.

"I ain't buying, you're a bad liar Benson. Take my words, Carly will never love you. She's too good for your face, your feet and any other part of you."

I sighed. "Can't you ever be nice to me?"

"I could but I don't have any respect for you." With that, she slapped me hard in the face.

I moaned. "I just wish I could be her guy."

"Aha!" Sam exclaimed. "I knew it! You're jealous Benson, admit it!"

I sighed. "Fine, it's true okay? I'm jealous."

And there you have it. Freddie admitted it! The truth came out. Now what? And what do you think of this Eric guy?
