I'm Not Her
Chapter One
Sam's P.O.V.
Carly and I stood by our lockers waiting for the bell to ring for class.
"And oh my God Sam, you won't believe how awesome this store is! I don't understand how you could NOT want to shop there! It's amazing!" Carly was ranting about some stupid store that had just opened at the mall. For the third time this morning. I rolled my eyes and resisted the urge to throw the Fat Cake in my hands at her face to get her to shut up about it already.
"There was this adorable pink skirt and these really nice heels-"
"Hola mi amigas." I turned and saw Frednub walking towards us. "Nub." I greeted him, flicking him on the forehead as soon as he reached us.
Freddie rubbed his forehead and said, "Oops, I meant: Hola mi amiga, CARLY. Oh! And hello to you too, Spawn of Satan." I rolled my eyes and stuck my tongue out at him.
"Good morning, Freddie!" Carly said sweetly. Freddie's annoyed expression softened and he gave her his adorable half smile.
Woah, wait, did I just say adorable? I meant dorky! 'Cause there's no way in hell I think anything about Fredbutt is adorable. Not his smile or his laugh. And most certainly not his gravy brown eyes that make me want to melt- ugh no! Brown eyes. Plain, regular brown eyes. That look incredibly sexy when he's smirking at me. Augh, pull yourself together, Sam!
My little rant to myself was interrupted by Freddie's deep- no, nubbish voice. "See that, Demon? Carly's always so sweet to me. Why can't you be like her?"
I felt a tight clench in my belly, as if someone had taken it in their hands and squeezed it as hard as they could. I felt a warmth in the back of my eyes. Why was I feeling this way? Before any emotion could break their barriers, I slipped a mask of indifference on my face. "Well, 'cause I don't want to be some weak, frilly daisy. No offense, Carls," I said, tilting my head towards my best friend. Carly just laughed and ruffled my hair.
Freddie rolled his eyes and then smiled triumphantly. "Maybe that's why you can't keep a boyfriend."
I smirked. "At least people want to go out with me." To my surprise, Freddie just kept smiling. "What's with the smile, Fredcreep?"
"I've got a date this Friday night. With Michelle."
I snorted. "Noseworth?"
"Nope, Davies. The hot one."
Carly let out a squeak of excitement. "Wow! Way to go, Freddie!"
I just raised my eyebrows. Michelle Davies was dubbed one of the hottest girls in our junior year. A bunch of guys said she was great in bed. *Cough* slut *Cough* He asked her out and she said yes?
"And get this, she asked me out." Ack! There it was again. That tightening in my belly. The warmth behind my eyesballs. I huffed.
I watched Freddie's smile shift into a smirk. "Jealous, Puckett?"
Yes. "No, thoroughly appalled that someone like her would want to go on a date with a nub like you. Makes me wonder what that chick's been smoking."
The annoyed expression returned to Freddie's face. "You know, Samantha, don't think that just because you believe that I'm some unattractive nub that every other girl believes that, too. Right, Carly?"
Carly smiled. "Of course, Freddie. And as your unofficial, but official, sister-like figure, I give Michelle Davies my blessing, even if some people say she's kinda sleazy."
The bell rang. "Ha ha. No she's nooot." I watched Freddie pull Carly into a one armed goodbye hug and that clenching feeling was there again. Chiz.
He turned to me and said, "See? More Carly-niceness. You really should try to act more like her." Then he turned his back and started walking towards his first period. I slammed my locker shut and turned to see Carly looking at me worriedly.
"Sam? You okay? It looks like you might puke. Oh God, are you going to puke? C'mon let's get you to the bathroom before-" I cut her off.
"I'm fine. Besides, if we go to the bathroom, we'll be late to class. Let's go."
"You, worried about being late? Now I know something's wrong!"
"Oh hardy har har, Carlotta. Now let's just go. Briggs'll have my head on a plate if I'm late for her class again."
