"Hey…"
I turned around, trying to contain the butterflies in my stomach. I looked Freddie right in the eyes. Those beautiful eyes…
"I hate you." He said it with a grin, so I knew he didn't mean it. "I hate you" is pretty much a phrase that I say to him every day. I'm kind of sorry that I started saying that ever, because he doesn't know how I really feel.
"I hate you, too." In my mind I secretly replaced the "hate" with a "love".
I saw him watch me walk away, but I hope he didn't see too far past the fire escape, because when I got down the hall, I looked in the sky and whispered "Thank you SO much!"
When I got back to the studio, iCarly was over. No meatball war. I guess we will do that next time.
"Hey Sam, what are you happy about?"
Oh crap. I didn't know I was still smiling.
"Oh nothing…" I licked my lips, hoping Carly couldn't see past my lie.
"Please tell me you apologized to Freddie." Carly looked at me like I tried to kill him or something. Yes, I know, I beat him up and tease him, and pull pranks on him, but it's all in good fun!
"Yes, I apologized… he took the apology better than I expected." Oh my gosh, wasn't that the truth.
"Good. Let's clean up. We need to figure out something to do with these meatballs."
I looked at her and raised my eyebrows. "I think I can take care of that…"
