Author's Note: So, I wasn't sure if I was going to write another fan fic, but I just love Seddie so much I had too. :D So, here's iNeed Your Help. You can expect another update soon, because I really like this story so far. D
"Well, monkey granola, we could just write holy note cards all day long!" Ruben protested as Sam walked away from him. She turned towards him, confusion obvious in her eyes. "I can't even understand you kid! Would you stop following me?" she demanded. Ruben merely sighed, stepping closer to her. "You're a bold kid," she said, going to shove him, but he easily moved out of the way. Surprised somebody had actually avoided one of her attacks, Sam merely spun around on her heel, attempting to get to her class, but she could hear the boy's footsteps behind her.
Sighing loudly as she turned back around, she threw her hands up in the air. "I don't know what you want, Ruben! I can't even understand what you're saying!" she swatted him away from her with her history book, but- as usual- he neglected to get hit by her attacks. "I took kung fu on a crowded beach during the sunset, if you know what I mean," he explained, smirking at her as she raised her eyebrows, her expression that of obvious disgust with the boy. "No, I don't know what you mean! You better keep away from me, though, unless you want to get…a purple nurple on the heels of a giant yeti!" she threw her hands in the air again, unsure how to keep the boy away.
He looked offended for a moment, but bounced back easily. "I don't know what you're trying to say, Sam," he shook his head. He took another step towards her, but she merely grabbed Gibby as he went to walk past her. "Sam!" Gibby protested angrily as she dragged him back to her by his shirt collar. "Gibby, would you keep your friend-," she started, but Ruben pulled his friend away. "Ruben trained in a bunch of self defense classes," Gibby explained, and Ruben sighed. "I already told her that!" he said, and Gibby glanced back at Sam, shrugging. "Keep your loony friend away from me, before I shove you through that air vent, Gibby!" Sam gestured towards the floor, and Gibby backed away. "I can't get stuck in that air vent again, Sam!" he screamed as he ran away. Sam chased after him, Ruben close on her heels, as she spun him around.
"Ruben, tell Gibby what it would take for you to leave me alone!" Sam demanded, and Ruben shrugged. "You should've just asked! All you need is me to be a brand new cupcake face to bask in the sunlight with!" Ruben said, and Gibby laughed, high fiving the boy. Sam grabbed the back of Gibby's shirt, shoving him into a locker before she pulled him back. "You have five seconds to tell me what's up with the freak before I drag you back to the air vent- and this time I'll make sure Carly doesn't call for help!" she snapped, and Gibby quickly threw his hands into the air to show he was giving up.
Sam folded her arms as she stared at him. "One…two…" she started, and Gibby cried out quickly, "Stop! I'll tell you! He just wants to go out with you," he said, and Ruben nodded with a smirk. "That date we had was like parachuting through the winds of Saturn!" he said, and Sam rolled her eyes. "Until you ran out screaming- no, wait, it was still like drowning in the 'winds of Saturn!'" she snapped, heading away quickly towards Carly and Freddie, who were waiting for her next to her locker.
"Where've you been?" Carly asked with her head tilted to one side. "Ruben won't stop following me, Carls! The boy wants to go out with me again!" she said, shaking the girl's shoulders violently. Carly's eyes widened as Freddie grabbed Sam's shoulders, pulling her away from Carly. "Thanks Fredward," Sam said, her eyes narrowed at Carly. "I don't see why you're so mad at me-," Carly started, but Sam interrupted angrily, folding her arms. "You set me up on a date with that freak!" she snapped loudly, and Carly winced. "I didn't think he'd go so…overboard- you can't really blame me for this. Freddie," she said, giving Freddie the look she always did, expecting him to agree with her.
With a small shrug, Freddie said quietly, "Sorry Carly, but I've got to side with Sam. That boy is a freak. Look," he gestured towards where Ruben was standing at his locker, watching. "I can't even understand what he's saying all the time! For all I know, he could be threatening me, or asking me out! I could be accepting, for all I know!" Sam screamed in Carly's face, her violent movements causing her hair to swirl around her face. Freddie put a hand on each girl's shoulder, and for a moment he stared at Sam- until she turned and looked at him with confusion. He dropped his hands off their shoulders quickly, glancing over at Ruben.
"Fighting isn't going to solve anything. We have to…find out how to make sure Ruben stops trying to go out with you, or something," he said, his head tilted to the side as well- in confusion. Sam stared at him for a moment, then looked at Carly, letting loose a loud sigh. "Freddork's right, I guess. Any bright ideas, Carls?" she asked, and Freddie and Carly stared at Sam in amazement. Carly had never seen her best friend this worried- and Freddie wasn't exactly sure why he couldn't take his eyes off of her for those few seconds- but then he ripped his eyes over to Ruben, watching quietly as the boy stared at Sam in a way that made him uneasy.
"Well…get a new boyfriend, and then Ruben will realize that it'll be impossible for you two!" Carly said enthusiastically. "There isn't a loser in this whole school I would consider," Sam rolled her eyes. Carly and Freddie exchanged a glance- Sam's man hating ways had hit a high after she dumped Jonah. He went around the school now spreading rumors about things he and Sam had done- and spreading rumors about things they hadn't done. "Sam, I know Jonah hurt you," Carly said, her voice small, but Freddie interrupted with an annoyance which- for once- wasn't directed at Sam. He watched the boy they were speaking of walking towards them, and he looked away. "Why don't we just hook the loser up to a wedgie bounce again?" he demanded, and Sam looked away. She didn't exactly want to defend herself again about the reason she never wanted to talk to him again- and Jonah's appearance gave her that break- which she wished she didn't have for once.
Freddie stared awkwardly as Jonah approached him, holding out his hand for a shake. "Hey Freddo, haven't talked to you in ages," he laughed, and Freddie glanced over at Sam, who recoiled from them both with a sudden vulnerability in her eyes. When she saw Freddie looking at her, she quickly covered it up, but she stood on the other side of Carly, who merely glared at Jonah. Freddie looked back at the boy, looking down at his hand and back at his face with a stony expression. "What's your problem, Fred?" Jonah demanded, with his expression a mixture of confusion and annoyance as he let his hand fall back to his side. "Oh, hey Sam," he said when he looked over at the blonde, who glared at him. "Get lost, Jonah." She snarled at him.
"Come on Sam, no hard feelings," he rolled his eyes, reaching over to stretch an arm around Sam's shoulder, but Freddie placed his hand on the boy's shoulder, pushing him several feet away. "I don't think we should talk anymore- and I really don't think you should talk to Sam, either," he glared, dropping his hand back to his side as Carly and Sam watched on with surprise. "What's Freddie doing?" Sam leaned over to Carly, asking in a whisper. "I don't know, but I think he's helping you," Carly whispered back, and they exchanged a raised eyebrow. When they looked back, Jonah was rolling his eyes. "What's your problem, Freddie?" he demanded. "You hurt Sam, Jonah. She's my best friend," he said, his voice quiet as he avoided looking at his old friend. "Okay, whatever. Later," he rolled his eyes again as he walked off, passing by Ruben, who watched him with interest.
That was when a smirk lit up Sam's face, and Carly looked at her with confusion. "What are you thinking?" she asked as Freddie walked back over to them, looking at Sam's growing smirk with fear as she stretched her arm up to put around his shoulder. "Hey Freddie…" she drifted off, and Freddie's eyes widened.
