Sam's POV
I was at Carly's apartment, like I always am. Anyways, Carly and I were eating some strawberries and watching Seattle Beat when Spencer came rushing into the room.
"Um, hey, Spencer…" I greeted, kind of confused. He came out of nowhere!
"Hey, Sam, Carly," He replied quickly. He was starting to stifle through the fridge in the kitchen.
"Um…whatchya lookin' for Spence?" I asked.
"Ugh, we don't have any!" He shouted to the open fridge.
"Have any what?" Carly questioned.
"Banana Nut Bread!" He shouted. We laughed.
"What do you need banana nut bread for?" I asked, curious as to why he was acting all crazy for a loaf of bread.
"I was going to make this huge sculpture made out of banana nut bread! It was going to be huge! It was going to be a fan or something like that!" He shouted, not once turning to look at us. I mean, he WAS on a mission.
"OK, well stop freaking out, and let's just head to the grocery store really quick." Carly said.
"OK," Spencer said, shrugging his shoulders, very calm…like nothing had happened. I laughed at this.
"Well, we'll be right back, Sam," She said, "We're just going to go to the grocery store-"
"Yeah, yeah," I ignored, "Just buy some ham for me while you're there."
So that was that, and I continued watching Seattle Beat.
Spencer and Carly just shrugged and walked on out the door.
I kept watching Seattle Beat, still eating strawberries, when a knock came at the wooden door. I opened it, and I saw a guy dressed in plain blue and he was very skinny and tall.
"Um, Samantha Puckett?" He questioned, reading the box.
"No, Hilary Duff," I stated sarcastically, "And who's caring?"
"I'm Bill, I deliver packages," He started, "Your mom said you might be here. She gave me the address and pushed me out because she wanted her and her new boyfriend to continue to make-out."
That's Mom alright, I thought, And that's probably Tim…or Jim…Greg…? While I was in my thoughts, the stupid Bill guy interrupted them. "Um, Miss, hello? This package is supposed to be sent to you."
"Whatever, just gimme it!" I shouted at him. It was quiet and he was still standing there. I shot him a weird look.
"Get outta here Bill!" I shouted, annoyed. He ran away. Guys always did that when I yelled. I just shrugged, closing the door behind me. I wanted to open up the package, but then I didn't. What if it was a message from the police again, with the GPS chip and everything? But I was also curious. I figured I could just run away from those idiot cops, so I just opened up the cardboard box. I flipped the flaps open as I took out an envelope. It read:
Samantha Puckett! Congratulations! You won the Shirley's Spaghetti Eating Contest! You won a getaway for two for 1 week to Rome! You'll be able to enjoy the best spaghetti in the world ever!
*REQUIREMENTS*
Remember, you MUST have another accompany you or no free tickets. It's dangerous without someone there with you. We recommend you take someone who can speak Italian.
Behind that, it had two airplane tickets for tomorrow. Tomorrow? I mean, how was I supposed to find someone on such late notice, and on President's Week Break? Everybody already had plans! And no one I knew knew how to speak Italian! Wait, doesn't Carly know how to speak Italian…
Of course! I thought. She would go with me! She said she'd take me to the Meat Festival since I missed the last one (Stupid Missy), but I guess we could change our plans! She speaks Italian too! I was so happy I had won! I had eaten an adult spaghetti plate from Bean Plant (A/N: Olive Garden) in less than 45 seconds. They gave me a notice that I had won, with a trophy and a ribbon, but I didn't think I'd get to go anywhere, too! Me, Carly, and spaghetti=happy Sam! That spaghetti contest wasn't even that hard!
I waited eagerly to tell Carly the good news. It felt like forever had passed when Carls and Spencer were finally back.
"Hey, Sam," Carly said in a disappointing voice, "Listen, about the Meat Festival…"
"Change of plans!" I exclaimed, "We're going to ROME! FOR FREE! TOMORROW!"
"Wait, how'd you get THAT?" Spencer asked, knowing that I'm not the type who usually gets free stuff from somebody who's not him.
"Because I won that spaghetti contest last month!" I shouted, "Two tickets baby!""
"Yeah, but didn't they already gave you the trophy and ribbon, they didn't say anything about tickets to-"
"I know! How amazing is this?" I screamed, interrupting Carly. "And guess what best friend I'm taking…" I added in, rubbing the tickets in front of her face.
"I can't."
"Ugh, why? It's not a scam!…I think…"
"It's not that."
"Then what is it?" I questioned, honestly wondering why she wouldn't want to go to Rome.
She paused. "Grandad wants me and Spencer to go with him to celebrate Grandma Anne's birthday. We missed her last one, and we promised we'd be there. We forgot it would be tomorrow until he called us while we were at the grocery store."
"But…if you don't go then I won't be able to go!"
She looked sad and felt guilty, so I said, "It's OK. I'm not used to that kind of flying stuff anyway."
After a few moments of silence, Carly and Spencer looked at each other, and then stared at me in a very peculiar way.
"What crazy stalkers?" I looked at them creeped out.
She grabbed my shoulders and shook me.
"Take Freddie!" Carly exclaimed, a smile appearing on her face.
That was when the screaming started. Yes, SCREAMING. They kind of took a couple of steps back.
"Freddie?"
"Come on, Sam!" She exclaimed. "You wanna go!"
"Yeah, but not with Freddie! That's like repeating high school all over again! And you know me! That's torture!" I shouted, still not happy with Carly's "fix" to my problem.
"Come on!" She said.
I hesitated, trying to find an excuse. Then, I remembered something. "Do-Doesn't he already have plans to go to Florida to see his sick cousin? What's her name, Melissa?"
"Nope!" She shook her head from side-to-side. "They ended up not having enough money to go, and this was the first time his insane mom was going to let him go alone on a plane! He could have that chance! Please just take him!"
"But his mom wouldn't allow him to go with ME."
"Sam, she was going to let him go on a plane ALONE. She'll have some peace at heart knowing that he at least wasn't alone!"
"But he can't speak Italian!"
"Yes, he can!" Carly exclaimed, "He, being Freddie, wanted to be in another class with me, so we both took Italian!
I was going to say no yet again even though I couldn't find a good reason, but she gave me that puppy-dog look that I could never say no to. So I finally agreed.
"Fine! I'll invite the stupid nub!"
I hated that she had an advantage for me to say yes with that puppy dog face. She also had the advantage for Freddie to say yes because of his love for her. It was truly sickening.
"Yay! Eeep!" Carly squealed. "Well, me and Spencer are going to go pack up for the trip to Grandma Anne's. All of us will meet here at my apartment to say bye! Cool with you, Spence?"
"Sure."He replied. Spencer went to his room, and Carly started back-walking up the stairs to her room as well. As she did this, she demanded me to go ask him, as she left into her room.
I opened their wooden door once again as I headed into the hall. I took a deep breath, using that to procrastinate. I hesitated once more.
"You said you would!" I heard Carly's voice screamed at me. It sounded so real, it could've been real or just the conscious she molded into my head over the years I've known her. I took a few steps and saw his door.
This is it…I thought, You're Sam Puckett, you can do anything…as I knocked three very soft times (even for ME! Like, Carly soft) on that door…his door…
He answered it. "What do you want Sam?"
I was tongue-tied. How was I going to put this into words?
"Uhh…Sam? Why are you here?"
I sighed again. I finally knew how to explain it.
But what I didn't know was that I was about to say the words that would start the best adventure of my life.
Dun-dun-dunt! I kind of have most of the story planned out, and I never have it planned out and I've been working on Dialogue Essays, so I hope this is at least exceptional, like with all my stories!
I was going to update it tomorrow, but I'm going to my friend's house so we can work on yet ANOTHER project! I have 3 just this month! Even in Choir!
Well, I hope you enjoyed it! This story is going to get better! I'm thinking it will be better than all my stories!
