Disclaimer: I do not own iCarly

Freddie

"I want you to kiss Carly and tell her how you feel." I stared at Sam.

"What? But I… I don't like Carly anymore." I tried to hide the lie in my eyes. I've worked so hard to make it seem like I had gotten over her. I was hoping our friendship would grow stronger that way. I wasn't going to let Sam ruin it.

"Don't lie to me Benson." She poked my chest. "I know you still like her and its making her miserable that you act like you don't."

"Yeah right, Sam."

"I'm serious, she likes you and if your dorkyness makes her happy, however sickening that thought it, and then you need to tell her.

"Yeah, and why should I believe you?" I glared at her.

"Well, maybe because Carly is my best friend and I want her happy. Unlike you, I could care less if you were happy or not." I sat down on the couch in shock. There is a slight possibility of me and Carly being together.

"I still don't believe you. I have no reason to."

"Just go kiss her and tell her how you feel."

"Yeah, and make a fool of myself if she doesn't like me back." I scoffed.

"Fine, then go ask her." Sam walked out, I'm assuming to go back to Carly's or to find some ham.

I walked into the hallway towards Carly's locker. She stood there looking breath taking, as usual.

"Hey Carls. How ya doing?"

"Hey, Freddie. I'm great." She smiled and my heart leapt.

"So, I have a question I was just wondering…"

"Hey Carly, I'm reading for iCarly this week."

"That's great Gibby, so you got everything?" Carly smiled and he nodded.

"Yeah." They chatted for a few minutes and I slapped myself internally. Finally he walked away, and I tried again.

"Anyway Carly, so I was just wondering. Well I had a question…" Bring. Bring. Bring.

"Sorry Freddie. I have to get to class, we'll talk later. Kay?" I nodded and she gave me a hug and walked off to class.

"Ugh!" I groaned and banged my head into the lockers.

"You shouldn't have beat around the corner Freddo." Sam said, as she climbed out of her locker.

"What, what were you doing in there?" I peeked into her locker; somehow she had managed to renovate her locker and had a hammock in there.

"Oh, nothing. Just taking a nap. But I heard your little conversation with Carly. That went well. Next time just get straight to it." She pulled her back pack and a turkey leg out of her back pack. She then left to go to class. I went back to banging my head on the locker.

"Hey Carly. I got you some lunch. You know how the cafeteria food is."

"Aww thanks Freddie." She smiled at me and my heart just melted.

"Didn't you have a question for me earlier?"

"Yeah, I was well, I'm just wondering if you like me?"

Carly

"What?" I cleared my throat and felt my mouth go dry, my heart stopped momentarily. "Heh, no. and I mean you gave up and you know how I see you. Psh, ha no." I giggled nervously. I would tell him, if only I didn't have a fear of rejection.

"Oh… okay. Yeah I just wanted to make sure you know. 'Cause yeah. You know I'll see you later." He paused and then walked away but for a second I thought I saw some sadness in his eyes.

"No, Freddie, I don't like you. I love you." I leaned against the wall and slid to the floor. A locker opened and looked over to see Sam crawl out of her locker.

"I'm not even going to ask."

"Why didn't you tell the boy?"

"I told you Sam, he over me, he's moved on. I don't want to tell him, just to be rejected."

"Ugh, don't you get it girl? He still likes you. He wanted to know if you did so he could tell you. Jeez you people are so complicated." He likes me? and we could be together? And I just ruined it.
