chapter 1: object of their desire

Freddie's POV:

I never get "swooned" over. I never cause those glazed eyes, longing sighs, weak-at-the-knees moments I've witnessed so many times from my two best friends. I just sit on the side-lines, dousing myself with bitterness, then proceed to drown myself in technology. I detested watching the pattern repeat itself.

"Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa…" Carly sputtered her alarm as she pointed prominently and shook her remaining hand at her partner in crime. Yes, this moment was a crime, a crime against all forgotten tech geeks.

"Hubba-hubba!" Sam commended the passer-by. Her intrigued eye-brow raised as my grimace did from behind. I examined who the show-dog was that they were worshipping. The person they approved of… the vipers.

Oh, him.

My despise was interrupted, "I wants me some of that!" Sam announced, doing some sort of dance that I would normally find funny if I hadn't know the reason.

"Mmmmm… good to the last drop" Carly fantasized, eyes closed, sliding down her locker slightly. I made an obnoxious throat-clearing noise to remind them of my presence.

Sam's eyes snapped over to me, "Oh, Fredwad, don't interrupt us. We're discussing a real man."

I felt all my compacted rage boil to the surface, "And I'm not one?" I hollered, breaking my rule to keep my cool during these events.

Sam's face contorted into an evil smile as she chose between different possible come-backs. Carly, having seen this interchange before, jumped to my rescue. "Sam, no!" she ordered. The blond beast bit her bottom lip, holding back all her natural instincts.

Carly knew we were all on dangerous territory and took out the big guns, "Hey Sam, I wouldn't suppose you would like some…" she dug through her bag, "mystery lunch meat?" she dangled the package back and forth a few times before it was snatched away.

Sam groaned in pleasure as she ripped the slices apart in record time.

Carly smiled in triumph at me "Well, that should occupy her for about…" she began.

"DONE!" Sam proclaimed.

Carly stared with wide eyes because her little plan didn't pull through, but I just shrugged, I wouldn't expect any less from Sam.

"Now that I'm done with this beef" Sam tossed the empty baggy over her shoulder, "let us continue with that beef." She pointed to the object of their observation.

Carly, leaving my side, slipped into her dreamy state once again as she gawked at the guy.

I tried not to gag. "What's so special about him anyway?" They both opened their mouth to answer, "Wait, you know what, never mind." I rolled my eyes and started to walk away to get to my next class.

My resentment took control of me for a second and I turned around, "You know you guys don't have a chance with him right?" they both shot me insulted glares, Carly's was more heart-broken and Sam's was more "you-will-be-broken", I did my best to recover, "because he doesn't speak English."

"What?" Carly gaped before flicking her eyes back to match this new information with his image.

"Yeah, he only speaks Spanish, he just moved here." I continued explaining, the words came out more sour than I meant them to be. I didn't know I would hate him so much until I saw those two make those faces at him.

"And how would you know that?" Sam challenged, putting a hand on her hip.

I looked between both of them before answering. If I had known all the trouble this would get me into I would have kept it to myself.

"Because I'm his translator."

HEY-O! Yeah, starting a new story… I know, I really have to keep up with my already going ones… but this idea just ate me up! Can't you just taste all the possibilities!

How do you like the story? Do you like the idea? Have any hopes or suggestions? ARE YOU EXCITED! Please review, it makes me feel good and it helps ;)

I know I usually write in all bold, just kuz I kinda want a "thing", but I thought I'd try a story without it. not a big announcement, but I thought I'd share. Don't worry, it's still by mixwe!
