Mistletoe and 2011
No Resolution For The New Year
Happy New Year!
Okay so if you don't know the tradition of kissing during New Years here it is- Some people believe it is good luck (for the New Year) to kiss someone the very first minute of the New Year, when the clock strikes midnight
Carly laid out the bowls of chips on the table awaiting the guests to arrive. She knew the bowls would be messed up at the end of the party but she wanted everything to be all in place and neat. Suddenly a loud bang came from the door of her living room. She quickly opened it and saw Sam with a huge 2011 hat on.
"Happy New Year!" She cheered and blew her noise maker, piercing Carly's ears.
"Well I see someone is as excited as I am for the new year." Carly told her.
"No I just want the food." Sam admitted. Carly pointed her to the snacks table in the kitchen and continued setting up.
"Hey Sam? Can you save some of the food for other people?" Carly yelled over her shoulder as she struggled to move the couch out of the room to create a dance floor.
"I don't know if I would be able to ignore this huge temptation." She stood before the large table and stared at the endless amount of chips and soda.
"Sam, control yourself and come over here to help me move this couch." She hesitated but turned around to help Carly out. After the couch was moved both Carly and Sam sat on the stairs quietly waiting for people to arrive.
"So are you going to kiss anybody tonight when the clock strikes midnight?" Carly interrupted the silence.
"Yeah right!" Sam said.
"Oh, why not..." Before she was able to say anything else Freddie busted through the doors with a mob of their friends behind him.
"Time to party!" He yelled.
"Yay!" The crowd cheered.
"Okay everybody! Snacks in the kitchen, I'll turn the music on. Hey don't touch that!" Carly screamed and left Sam sitting by herself on the stairs. Freddie made his way to Sam and noticed her still sitting down.
"Happy New Year Sam."
"You to Frederly." He smirked at his name he's been called so many times.
"Why are you sitting?"
"I don't know." She said.
"Well come on let's have fun." He reached out his hand.
"No offense but that's not really a tempting offer." Freddie rolled his eyes.
"Come on." He complained. She got up and they both headed to the dance floor. It was unbelievable to Freddie that Sam was actually dancing with him but it didn't last a while. As each song past it felt that both of them drifted apart and they each ended up on either side of the dance floor. Freddie looked around for Sam for a while but left and headed for the kitchen. He got himself a bottle of Peppy Cola. He was still searching for Sam though and it was hard because of the amount of people in this one little apartment. He heard a laugh he knew only belonged to one person. He glanced at where he heard it and saw Sam still dancing but with a guy Freddie didn't recognize. She looked happy, smiling so big and dancing like no one was watching her. But someone was watching her, Freddie couldn't keep his eyes off her. When his eyes finally left her it was to see what time it was. His watch read 11:50. It was almost midnight and he was alone, Sam was with someone else and he couldn't even find Carly.
"I'm going to get something to drink." Sam said to the mysterious guy she was dancing with. She headed over to the snacks table but stopped when she noticed Freddie standing alone. "Hey!" She said.
"Hey."
"What's wrong?" She questioned that sadness in his voice.
"Oh, nothing." He didn't want Sam to be down on New Years so he didn't bring up him feeling alone.
"Hey, weren't you the one that said to have fun?" She tried to cheer him up.
"Yeah. You know what? I'm fine, forget about it." He told her.
"Well, then come dance with me."
"What about him?" He pointed to the guy she was just dancing with.
"Honestly, he smells really bad." Freddie laughed and Sam shot him a glare. "Hey, I'm not joking. I could barely breath." They ended up both laughing after what she said.
"Hey can you guys do me a favor?" Carly came out of no where interrupting Sam and Freddie's laughing.
"What's up?" Freddie asked.
"The only thing I've been doing through out the whole party was making sure nothing bad happened and now I really have to go to the bathroom." Carly explained.
"And how does this have to do with us?" Sam joined the conversation.
"Can you guys watch over the party so I can go to the bathroom?"
"Well yeah," Freddie easily volunteered. He looked at his watch again and it said 11:57. "But Carly, it's almost midnight your going to miss the celebration."
"Oh whatever, there's always next year." She said while she turned and ran straight to the bathroom.
"Looks like your not going to get your midnight kiss from Carly." Sam sarcastically told Freddie.
"Ah whatever, I didn't even want to." He said.
"Why not?" Sam asked.
"Twenty more seconds until the new year!" A random guy screamed. All of a sudden the whole room was counting down. Sam and Freddie joined in.
"Ten!" The crowd of people chanted.
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
"Seven!" Freddie heard Sam squeal next to him.
"Six!"
"Five!"
"Four!" He turned to Sam and they locked eyes.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!" The room was suddenly quiet to Freddie and Sam all they could hear was 'Happy New Year!' in the background.
"Happy New Year." Freddie told her.
"Happy New Year." Sam replied. But that's all they did, stood quietly staring into each others eyes. While everybody found someone to kiss, they stood silently in the middle of the room.
Well Happy New Year! (Soon anyway)
