Chapter1: iTry to Be Nice
Sam's Thoughts:
Munching on a bacon sandwich in the middle of the road, on the way to Shay's place.
Random things are running through my mind. But one thought has gone to dominion. It was the thought of finding myself to be nicer than usual. I wonder how would it be if I'm gonna try to be nice at least for a day. I am now in the front of Carly's apartment, knocking for the first time I think. I have to be nice, you know..
" Hi Carls.." I greeted
"Hey!" Carly greeted back. ughhh..She didn't even notice my effort!
"Wait..are you really Sam? Why did you knock? Sam never knocks on my door!" Yes! She noticed at last!
"Don't worry, it's really me Sam. Just trying to be nice , you know."
"ahhh..ok. You worried me there."
"Well, why have you think of somewhat changing your image?" Carly continued.
"uhhhmm.. seems in the mood. Ok, no more questions. Just savor it, coz I don't think it will last long."
"ok.. just curious, you know, coz I'm still your bestfriend. Just wanna be a part of everything that's happening with you."
"Alright then, but don't get too dramatic."
"By the way, what's our plans for today?" I changed the topic.
"uhhmm..Think we've got to rehearse iCarly today. Freddie will be here in a bit."
"Ok." I answered shortly. I don't want to speak long coz maybe I can't control my words after hearing that 'DORK's name. I know what you're thinking, that I'm getting back to my vicious behaviour. Sorry, just can't stop. At least I'm not saying it aloud.
Moments later..
Someone's knocking on the door , and I think I know who is it. Carly grabbed the knob and Freddie entered. Yeah, the same kid with those chocolate brown eyes and hair. ohhh, Can't resist looking on those charming eyes. No. Stop. Just concentrate on being nice ok?
"Hey!" I called, pertaining to Freddie
"H..Hey?" He repeates as if asking. Yeah, he doesn't know what's happening, probably wondering why those words did not come up with any mean names.
" Yeah, Hey.." I repeated, resisting the urge to tease him. I'm still trying to be nice. I have to finish my mission. I've started it, I'm gonna finish. That's the Puckette way.
"Huh?" he uttered, wondering. "I can't understand.." he continued.
" She's trying to be nice for a day. Are your questions answered?" Carly explained to Freddie. Yeah, she always kills the thrill. But thanks to her, I don't have to explain it myself. So I won't have to fight Freddie, imagining that he'll laugh after I finished explaining.
"Ah ok..one of your games huh?" Freddie exclaimed to me after hearing Carly's explanation.
"No, just one of my trials.." I answered him sarcastically.
"Well, I think you're doing a goood job." Did he just complimented me? I can't believe he did? I was thinking that he won't go this easy about this, and try teasing me to ruin my day and plans and games,as he have said.
"Well, thanks?" I answered as if asking, as if trying to confirm that it's a compliment.
"Ok, guys, think this conversation is getting too long. I think we better go upstairs and start rehearsing." Oh, Carly, you always ruin the moment!
After iCarly Rehearsal:
"So, want to grab some Smoothies?" Carly asked.
"Sure, my treat.." I answered without hesitation. Yeah, you got it right..I'm gonna treat them for the first time. Remember the so-called 'game'?
" Huh?" They mumbled simultaneously in amazement.
"Yeah. You heard me right.."
"Wow, Sam..I think I'm starting to fall in love with you.."
Freddie's Thoughts:
Oh my gosh! What did I say? What did I do? No way, Sam's gonna find out I'm in love with her.
Those words run through my mind as both Carly and Sam stared at me as if they've seen a ghost.
"uhhhmm..of..of..course, I'm kid..dd..ding!" I mumbled through the words while I'm hoping they would buy it.
"Yeah, right, of course, he's kidding!" Sam immediately answered as if she totally bought my answer. I was shocked to hear that! Sam is helping me, as if she knows everything although she's the last person I want to tell the truth.
" Yeah, of course HE IS! Who would think he is telling the truth?" Carly followed sarcastically. I really love the way you take things easy, Carly.
And then we all burst to laughter, although I'm not laughing with my whole heart. Because, I know in my heart that what I've said is true..
Sam's Thoughts:
We're on our way to Groovy Smoothies. But it seems that I'm in a different world. I'm still stunned with those words of Freddie. "Wow, Sam..I think I'm starting to fall in love with you." Man, those words strucked me like thunder! I can't resist thinking and hoping if only those words were true. But , as of our mouths.. he is kidding.
Now I know how does it feel to be nicer..it feels good, considering the fact of hearing those 'compliments'.
At least I've tried..and I know I'm determined to last it longer..
