iSam, Like Freddie

It started out just like any other day. I was making fun of Freddie, and hanging with Carly. We were at the park.

"I just love to see random squirrels at the park!", said Carly. "You know what I'd like to see at the park?", I said. "What, random ham?", asked Carly.

"Hey! How'd you know?!", i responded. We all laughed, and it was clear that we were enjoying the day. I don't know what it was about Freddie. Maybe he was wearing some kind of meat cologne or something, but I knew that something was different. Well, at least something was different with me.

This little kid with an icecream cone came walking by, and tripped on the sidewalk. She fell, and so did the icecream cone. She started crying, and Freddie rushed over to her.

"Hey there. Are you OK?", he asked. "No", cried the girl. "My icecream's gone", she said dissappointedly. "What's your favorite flavor?", Freddie responded quickly. "Vanilla...", said the little girl. Freddie ran over to the icecream guy, and came back to the girl with an icecream. He knelt down and smiled at her as he handed her the icecream. He then walked away, and waved goodbye to her.

Something about that made me think...Is this the Freddie I've been making fun of this whole time? He's not a nerd....(Well, yeah he is sometimes...but still...) He's a sweet guy....I wish I had someone like that.

So, we went back to our apartments(mine being Carly's), and I signed on AIM.

Freddie was online.

SAMLIKESHAM:Hey Fredward. Nice thing you did for that kid today :-)
TECHBOYFRED:Thanks haha. It was no biggie.
SAMLIKESHAM:No, it was really....sweet.
TECHBOYFRED:Really? You complimenting me? Is this a prank?

Sam immediately felt guilty for all the times that she had made fun of Freddie or made him not trust her.

SAMLIKESHAM:No...I've changed :-)
TECHBOYFRED:That's cool :) Hey....in spirit of the new change thing, wanna go grab a smoothie?
SAMLIKESHAM:Sure!Meet me at Carly's in 15?

This was so unlike me. But my mind was racing. Was this...A DATE??? If it was, that'd be amazing, but scary, but AGHHH. I really wasn't sure what to expect. So I just ran up to Carly's room and put on one of her outfits that she'd never worn. I knew she wouldn't mind.

The doorbell rang. I exhaled slowly, and made my way over to the door.
