a/N: Here's another multi-chap fic. This is drama! Yeah, you read it right. The funny thing is, I am a girl who hates drama and cheesiness and stuff, but I always write drama! I don't know why, but those things just pop up in my head. Well, I hope you enjoy the story.


Chapter 1: I Wanna Die

Here I am listening to the song 'Lucky'. I sighed. Am I really lucky to be in love with my best friend? Maybe yes, maybe not. But what if my best friend is in love with my other best friend. I sighed again.

Okay let's see, on the plus side, it's good that he's my best friend, I've known him since we were in our diapers, and I know he doesn't hurt girls for no good reason, he could be trusted, he's really nice and sweet and very caring, and above all, he's perfect. Well, not too perfect. Perfectly imperfect!

On the minus side, he'll never love me back. He's so head-over-heels with Carly, and nothing will stop him from loving her, not even me, his best friend. I always remind him that Carly will never love him back, but he keeps ignoring my advice. He only looks at me as his friend or some enemy. Or frienemy as some calls it. That's it and nothing more. I can't blame him for loving Carly. I mean, everyone loves Carly. She's really nice and sweet, plus, smart and really hot. All the boys are after her and picks her over me. She's perfect for Freddie. And I'm nothing compared to her. I know that I should hate her. But I can't. I wanted to, but I can't.

We've been closer than usual since our sophomore year. That was after our first kiss. But we agreed to never bring it up, ever. Maybe because it doesn't mean anything to him. Just one simple kiss. That's it. But for me, it meant A LOT. But we're so close, that he even calls me with a regular nickname, Princess. I love that nickname. But I call him mean nicknames, but he knows I don't mean it. I think. Well, I hope.

But some of this days, I'm going to tell him how I feel about him. But I don't know when or how. Everything should be perfect by that time.

We were alone in the studio. He was triple checking his equipments before the show. Nerd. I'm here sitting in the bean bag, fiddling with the index cards that Carly made - that I never read - and Carly is nowhere in sight.

I think this is a perfect time.

I was staring at him. And I wish he hadn't noticed me.

"Hey, Fredlumps." I called. He looked down to me, away from his equipment.

"Yeah?" he asked and then turning back his attention to his dork stuff.

"Can I tell you something?" I said.

"You're already telling me something." He said.

"Haha." I fake/sarcastic laugh. "I meant something important." I said seriously.

"Fine. Shoot." He said as he glanced at me.

"Freddie, I-I think… I think…" I stuttered.

"Wait, did you just called me Freddie?" he asked surprisingly. I just shook my head.

"I think I'm in—" right there, when I already have my courage, Carly walked through, cutting me right in the middle on what I'm saying. Nice. Very nice.

"Hey guys, look what I've got!" Carly announced. We both got surprised and looked up to her. "It's the new pearphone!"

"Whoa, really?" Freddie asked excitedly as he rushed towards her and took the pearphone.

"Oh yeah!" she answered bubbly. I stood up, put a grin on my face - I hope they don't notice it was fake - trying to hide my upset face.

"That's so cool!" I said excitedly.

"Oh, it's the latest pearphone. It got a lot of apps and is very high tech. This must cost a fortune!" Freddie informed as he examined the phone.

"Where'd you get it?" I asked curiously.

"My dad gave it to me for my birthday." Carly answered.

"But your birthday is until next month." Freddie reminded.

"Yeah. But he have to send this to me this week. Since next month, they have a mission thingy and are not allowed to be distracted. Well, for him that is, since he's the new general or captain thingy." Carly informed.

Of course she doesn't know what her dad's new position is. All she think about is herself anyway.

Okay that was really mean. I can't believe I just said that to Carly. Maybe she really just don't know his dad's new position. Yeah. Maybe she just doesn't know.

"That's great!" Freddie and I said in unison. And that's another thing I like about us. We often speak in unison and sometimes, we even finish each other's sentence!

"I'm so happy for your dad." I added.

"Yeah, whatever." She said, not taking her eyes off her phone. I flinched at her comment and raised as eyebrow at her. but she didn't saw. She and Freddie had their eyes glued on the new phone. I just shook my head.

Then something beeped and Freddie took it from his pocket.

"A minute before the show guys." He announced.

Well, that didn't go well. Thanks to Carly. Yup, always Carly. Maybe next time.

2 days had passed. It was the weekend. I'm heading Carly's apartment, but I was thinking of going to Freddie's first. You know to tell him how I feel about him. I was getting closer to the 8th floor. I took the stairs to build up some courage while walking, and at the same time thinking of what I should say.

Soon I reached 8th floor. I was walking down the aisle (in between their doors) facing straight ahead then looking back and forth on my left to my right. If going Carly's and tell him some other time or go straight to his door and tell him how I feel. I think I've been standing there for 5 minutes or so until I made up my mind.

I'm going to the door on my left. I turned to my left raised my clenched fist, ready to knock. Having dilemma if I'm going to continue or not, the door burst open and Freddie ran over me, knocking me off to the ground, not even noticing me and ran straight ahead to Carly's door.

"OW! HEY!" I yelled before he could turn the knob. He stopped and looked down to me.

"Oh hey Sam. What are you doing at the floor?" he asked dumbly.

"Oh nothing." I said sarcastically. "I'm just chillin' here."

"Oh, okay." He said as said as he started turning the knob again. He went inside, without even helping me up.

"What the heck?" I yelled. I stood up and marched inside the door.

"Carly, what's the emergency?" I heard Freddie yell from the kitchen talking to Carly. Of course Carly. It's always Carly.

"I'm just kidding Freddie. There's no emergency. I'm just—" Carly started but I interrupted her.

"What the hell Dishrag!" I yelled angrily.

"Oh hey Sam!" Carly greeted excitedly.

"Why the heck did you just leave me there on the floor, in the middle of the hallway, after knocking me down!" I yelled on top of my lungs as I walk closer to him.

"Well you said you were just chillin' there." Freddie defended.

"I was being sarcastic you diphthong!" I yelled as I thumped him in the forehead.

"Why would Sam be chilling in the middle of hallway?" Carly butted in.

"That's what I'm talking about here!" I shouted.

"I don't know. Because she's lazy?" Freddie said. Okay, that hurt. I know that I'm lazy, but I don't like somebody tell that to my face, especially if that somebody is the person I'm in love with. And because if that, I slapped him. Hard. Then I marched towards the couch.

As I plopped down on the couch, I turned to Freddie and gave him a deadly stare.

"I'm not done with you Benson." I threatened. "You're lucky I'm really tired." I lied. Then I looked at the TV and took the remote and went channel surfing.

Okay, that didn't go well. I didn't pictured it to be this way.

A week had passed. And here I am again. Building up courage to tell him how I feel. We're at school. He was putting his books in his locker. I walked towards him.

"Hey Freddie." I called.

"Oh hey Princess. Wanna grab so—" he paused as he stood up. "You called me Freddie again. I think you're gonna tell me something. And I'm really sorry about the hitting you off to the ground. I really didn't mean it."

"It's okay." I said. "And yeah, I'm going to tell you something."

"Is this the same thing you were supposed to tell me last week."

"Yeah." I smiled. 'He remembered?' I thought, blushing a little.

"Oh, okay. Go ahead."

"Well, you see I-I'm kinda—" I started. My throat is getting dryer and dryer.

"Oh wait. I need to tell you something first." He interrupted.

"What?" He looked around and saw that there's no one in the hallway.

"I need your help." He said.

"What help?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow.

"I need your help to win Carly's heart." He said straight. I swear, my heart just stop beating for a second or two.

"Wha-what?" I croaked. I can't speak since my throat is dryer than ever. I can't believe this is really happening. It must be the apocalypse! I never knew that Freddie would go farther like this! Asking for my help! To win Carly's heart! That's so insane.

"Come on. Just this once Sam. I've never asked your help before." I just stood there, my mouth open. I tried to speak, but nothing comes out. "I mean, I helped you before." And now, I closed my mouth and raised as eyebrow at him. 'Cause I have no idea what he's talking about. "You know. About the Missy thing. I totally gave up that school at sea thing just for you, so Missy would be away from you."

"Well, how come you didn't tell me that?" I said snapping out.

"I don't know, it just didn't come up."

"Whatever. But that thing is different!" I pointed.

"So? If you help me with this one, that would make us even."

"Yeah, not really. I told you, I don't play even. But Frednub, desperate much?" he ignored the last part of what I said and started speaking again.

"Come on Sam. I know it's crazy and really stupid."

"Well, it really is." I added, but he ignored it.

"And I know you would say that Carly will never love me back. But I know that I really have a chance on her this time. I noticed she was getting closer to me and kind of flirty. So I think that she's falling for me too. So, please Sam, help. Help me to make her believe that I really am the one for her." he said. He did not just said that. I wanted to laugh at his face and make fun of him for being so corny. But instead, I just stared at him, dumbfounded, my mouth hanging open again, not a single word or sound is coming out of me. "Fine, if you won't help me, then I guess I'm just gonna have to ask somebody else." He tried to turn around but I stopped him.

"Wait!" I said. He looked at me. I looked at him directly into his eyes, his eyes full of hope, and I know that he meant what he said.

"Are you ju—"

"Are you nuts?" I whispered. I am really shocked. I can't believe that he would be like this.

"No! How could you say that? I love Carly! And I'll do anything for her." he said. And with that, I knew that I really have no chance with him. 'Cause he's eyes says so. And if you heard something fall and break like a fragile glass, it was my heart.

"You really sound so desperate." I said quietly. But he didn't heard me.

And right then, Carly walked in.

"Hey guys. I'm waiting for you in the cafeteria!" she said cheerfully. Freddie and I are both shocked. "Why do guys look like you just saw a ghost."

"N-nothing." Freddie stuttered. I said nothing. And there she goes. Stepping on my broken heart.

"Let's go then!"

Here I go again. I knew today's going to be it. It's been 2 weeks since he asked for my help. And I gave him no help. I didn't want to help 'cause 1) I love him and why would I help him make Carly fall in love with him; and 2) I don't do matchmaking. He tried 3 attempts but all of them failed. I knew he has no chance with Carly. And every time I hear his failure, my heart is slowly going back to its original position.

So here I am, in the Groovy Smoothies, waiting for him since he said he wanted to meet me and tell me something that he cannot say through phone. Maybe he's gonna tell me that he's giving up on Carly. That would be sweet. Well, I'm 90% positive. I don't know about the other 10% though.

I heard the bell rang. I looked at the door, and there he was.

"Hey Princess!" he greeted with a huge grin on his face. He seems really excited. Okay, my prediction is not really like that. I expect him to be all sad and teary.

"Hey Nub." I greeted back. "So, what do you want to talk about?"

"I'll tell you later. First, what do you want me to get you?"

"The usual."

"Got it. Stay." He walked to the counter and ordered our smoothies. Soon he came back with two smoothies on his hands. "One for you and one for me."

"Thanks." His smile is still plastered in his face. "Why smile so much?"

"It's the news I got you."

"Then, spill it!" I said impatiently as I sip on my smoothie.

"Carly and I are finally dating!" He announced. I spit out the smoothies in my mouth.

"What?" I yelled.

"I told you, Carly and I are da—"

"No, no, no, no, no." I said fast, interrupting him. "I heard you! That's not what I meant. That was just an expression."

"Oh okay." He said. "Aren't you happy? Oh, why bother asking. I know the answer anyway."

"I can't believe this." I said.

"Me neither!" he said excitedly.

"You're back together?" I said still in shock.

"I know right? And the hero thing is finally not the reason she loves me. She loves me for me!"

"She really said that she loves you?"

The grin on his face still hasn't come off. "Uh-huh!"

I really can't believe this. My heart just got ran over by a big truck. It got crushed so hard. And it really hurts. I wanna die. Right now. God, would someone just plant a bullet in my brain right now.
