New story! Enjoy.

~*Sam*~

I wake up to black. I slowly lift my head and realized my face had been buried in my pillow it as I slept. I stretch my arms, still slightly wincing from the harsh morning light that streamed into my pupils. I look around my room, and yawn. As my feet hit the floor a chill shot through my spine. I was wearing a tank top and shorts in the middle of winter, so of course I was freezing. I walked lazily over to my dresser and picked out my attire, put it on and set off to Carly's. As I went to shut the door, I found a note.

Sam

I'm gone to Vegas for a few days. Feed the cat, and keep the house clean, you little turd. Lock the house if you stay at Carly's.

Mom

I slightly smiled at my mom's "detailed" note. This was nothing new, leaving for no good reason. But, whatever. It doesn't really bother me, just as long if she doesn't spend all of our freaking money. I shut and locked the door, and was off to Bushewell Plaza. I took a deep breath in and out, letting the cold air into my lungs. It was just cold enough to see your breath. It was a pretty pleasant walk, short and sweet. I arrived at Carly's apartment door, in about 10 minutes. I took out my phone to see what time it was, and the clock read 11:30 AM. Just as I was about to put my phone away, and knock on the door, I get a text.

From: Carly

Hey WAKE UP, and get over here! Spence has got a surprise for us!

I roll my eyes, and smile as I knock on the door. I hear shuffling around and Spencer swiftly opens the door reveling me to who ever was inside. He was wearing his captain's hat, the one he got when he won the boat from that television network. I couldn't help but wonder why.

"Oh, hey kiddo! Carly's in her room."

"Cool." I simply reply, letting myself in. I walk straight up the stairs, and burst open the door to Carly's room.

"Hey! I just texted you. I didn't even know you were up." She says with a laugh. She was laying on the bed, on her stomach reading magazines, her phone close by.

"Yeah, I got it as I was about to knock on your door. What was this "surprise" Spencer had for us?" I ask, curious.

"Umm, I dunno. He wouldn't even tell me. I'm guessing it has to do with why he decided it was an awesome day to wear the stupid hat. " She said, marveling.

"Where's Fredweird? Is it his surprise too?"

"Yeah, I sent him a text earlier this morning. He should be here any minute."

"Oh JOY." I say sarcasticly.

"Oh, shut up. He's your friend."

"Yeah, that dweeb should count himself lucky, now shouldn't he?" I ask, my voice still dripping with sarcasm. She just rolls her eyes in reply. Just then, King Nerd himself, pokes his head inside the doorframe.

"Everybody decent?" He asks.

"Not anymore…." I say, nonchalantly. He ignores me. Strange….. Maybe he didn't hear me.

"So what's this big "surprise" Spencer has for us?" He simply asks..

"She doesn't know anymore than me and you, diphead," I snap. No response. He completely ignores me. What is going on with this dope? Let's try something different.

"Hey, Freddie!" I yell, grabbing his shirt collar. I don't know why this is so irritating to me!

"That's better." He says.

"What's your problem? Are you on crack or something?" I ask.

"Nope. I've just decided not to respond to the stupid names you give me."

"Oh, well isn't someone growing into his big boy pants?" I say, a smile on my face.

"So no more name calling?" He asks.

I scoff. "As if. Nub." I add, letting go of his collar.

"Looks like I'm not responding to you then." He says, calmly, a smug look on his face.

"Your loss. I bet you couldn't even go a full 24 hours without talking to me."

"You're on." I raise an eyebrow.

"Fine. But if you lose, you have to kiss…..MANDY!" I say, laughing histarically.

He looks slightly queasy, but his queasy-ness quickly turns into smug-ness.

"Okay, but if you lose, you have to kiss me." He says, crossing his arms. I stop laughing.

"Uh…why would you want to kiss…me?" I ask, my voice shaking slightly.

"I don't, but you can do that pressure point thing that makes me black out, and kiss me then, so you have to go through the whole thing, while I sleep like a baby." Wow, the nubfreak had really thought this out. I couldn't back down. I never lose.

"Fine, it's a bet." I say trying to sound strong. I offer my hand to his.

"You guys are ridiculous." Carly says, collapsing onto her bed.

We shake hands.
