Foolish Games

Jewel

You took your coat off,

stood in the rain.

You were always crazy like that.

Freddie watched through the peephole as Sam walked up to Carly's door, soaking wet, and tried to open it. When it didn't, she banged on it, screaming, "Carly!" at the top of her lungs. Freddie stepped outside into the hallway and shut the door, leaning against it.

"Forgot your jacket, Sam?" he asked, smirking.

"Jackets are for the weak, Fred-weird," said Sam, only turning to him for a split second before turning back around to continue rattling the doorknob. "I take whatever nature throws at me."

And I watched from my window;

always felt I was outside

looking in on you.

Freddie rolled his eyes. Sam was in her own little world, where all the things she said made sense to her, while he stood on the outside, thinking she was crazy. But Freddie briefly wondered if all that Sam said had a deeper meaning than what he was hearing.

You were always the mysterious one

with dark eyes and careless hair.

You were fashionably sensitive

but too cool to care.

Freddie growled to himself as Sam shook out her wet blonde hair, resulting in water being sprayed all over him. He coughed and sputtered; Sam had a lot of hair, and in that hair was a lot of water.

"It's just water," said Sam, rolling her eyes as she continued to shake out her hair. "Don't cry, Fredward. Carly!" Sam banged on the door some more, literally shaking in her Converse.

You stood in my doorway

with nothing to say

besides some comment on the weather.

"Ugh!" said Sam, banging on the door one last time. "Well, I guess you'll have to entertain me. We can ramble about something meaningless. Great weather today, huh? That's Seattle for you."

Freddie swallowed.

In case you failed to notice,

in case you failed to see,

this is my heart, bleeding before you,

this is me down on my knees.

Freddie didn't know how to respond to Sam. He was suddenly overwhelmed with feelings for her, feelings that he didn't know how to express. Feelings he'd never even felt before. Now he was just confusing himself…he didn't want to think about this.

And these foolish games are tearing me apart…

And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart.

You're breaking my heart…

No, Freddie thought. Forget it. This is Sam you're thinking about. You could never like her. She doesn't care about you, anyway.

But Freddie couldn't help thinking that Sam probably did care, she just didn't want to show it.

"So? How 'bout the weather, dork? Hello? Dork?"

Excuse me,

think I've mistaken you for somebody else.

Somebody who gave a care,

somebody more like myself.

Freddie sighed. Of course she didn't care. But he blew it off. It's not as if he cared if she cared, anyway. He replied, "It stinks."

And these foolish games are tearing me, they're tearing me,

they're tearing me apart.

And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart…

You're breaking my heart…

And there's my first songfic! I hope you like it. I know it's probably cheesy, but it's my first try. Read and Review!
