*Sam POV*

I waited for Freddie to come back. I knew something was up because why would Carly ever need Freddie's help on a school project? Carls is plenty smart and doesn't need him.

Freddie finally came back after about 10 minutes and I grabbed him right away.

"Did the stupid mood reader work or not?"

He nodded, "Yeah, and a little better than I thought it would."

I didn't get what he meant by that and he saw this and opened up his laptop to show me the screen. My eyes got wide from what I saw and looked at him. He gave me a look and I pushed him away from me.

"What did she say? Does she know? What happened? What was her reaction?" I couldn't stop myself from asking all these questions. I was so worried. 'What if she found out my feelings?'

"Calm down Sam. I doubt she thinks that it's her that you're in love with."

I quickly socked him in the shoulder, "Shut-up idiot! Don't say that so loud!" I told him in a harsh whisper. The last thing me and Carly needed was a bunch of rumors going around.

"Ow! Fine, sorry. But anyway, she was really shocked and she completely zoned out for like 5 minutes."

"Really? I wonder what she was thinking…"

"Me too. But forget about that for now. Lets take a break."

"Agreed. I'm starving." I walked past him and left the room for my locker.

I got to my locker and took out my ham sandwich. I took a bite and my thoughts went to Carly. They always do. 'I wonder why she zoned out, what she was thinking about. I always hoped there was a chance she'd like me the way I like her… Who knows, maybe this is the time I should tell her my feelings.'

I must have been way out of it, because I didn't notice the pretty brunette of my thoughts right in front of me until she spoke.

"Sam!" She looked at my sandwich, "Ham?"

I smiled, "Uh-huh."

"Extra ham?"

My smile got wider, she knows me too well. "Uh-huh."

She got quiet and I stared at her as she looked down. I tilted my head and gave her a curious look. She came back to earth and smiled at me. "So how's Brad?"

"Brad's cool." I said casually and took another bite of my sandwich.

She gave a knowing look and said,"Would you say… Very cool?" and poked my shoulder with a smile. I gave her my signature bored look and raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?"

"I know you're in love. And you're in love with Brad! Admit it!"

"Uh oh…" I thought to myself.

"I love ham, I'll admit that." I looked at her right in the eye and her eyes didn't match her happy smile on her face. They looked clouded with… Sadness? I wasn't sure. I mean, I can't read minds but I can come close when it comes to Carly. But right then, I couldn't tell. She was hiding it.

"You can't kiss and snuggle ham." She said with a smirk. I had the urge to tell her that I didn't want to snuggle ham or Brad, I wanted to snuggle and kiss her, but of course I was too chicken. 'Ha, Sam Puckett- a chicken…"

Instead I pretended to snuggle my sandwich and kiss it. Carly laughed and playfully pushed my shoulder. "C'mon Sam. I know you love Brad."

"Sorry, its time for me to turn my back on you now." I turned away from her and closed my eyes to try to calm down real quick. 'If this goes on then I might slip up.'

She went around me to be face to face with me. I opened my eyes and looked at her. "I know you're in love Sam. You wanna know how I know you're in love with Brad?"

"Sure, please share."

"When Freddie tested his mood app on you it said 'in love'"

"Who said his app really works?"

"Hmm… He did say he wasn't sure about the accuracy of the app."

"See? Case and point. Who knows if it even works."

"Well does it?"

"No!"

"Yes it does! You know it does."

I shook my head at her and told her, "I'm going to eat my ham in peace." I turned and started to walk down the hallway towards the stairs.

"You can't bury your love in ham!"

I yelled over my back, "I can try!"

As I walked away though, I couldn't help but think, 'She's probably right…'

Me, Brad and Freddie worked on the app more to make it easier to use for anyone that has a PearPad. I got bored quickly though and left to sit outside on a small patio. I took a drink of my water bottle and debated how to tell Carly.

"Hey…" Carly came outside and sat next to me on the step. She sure has great timing.

"Hey." I took another sip of my water.

"Look, I know its scary for you to put all your feelings out there, cause you never know if the person you like is going to like you back."

I stood up. "Carly, I don't wanna talk about this right now."

She stood up also and came close to my face. "Sam, everyone feels that way." I looked into her eyes. Those deep brown eyes. She stopped talking for a second and looked into my eyes. I looked down at her lips real quick then looked back to her eyes.

"But… You never know what might happen if you don't-"

I placed my hand on her cheek and pulled her into a deep kiss. Her lips were stiff for a second but she gave in and kissed me back. The kiss lasted for only 5 seconds (Yes I counted) but it felt like an eternity. I pulled my lips from her and looked into her eyes.

She was dazed and I moved my hand from her cheek and took a step back from her. "Sorry…" I said and ran away. I didn't wanna see her reaction; I was too afraid that it might be bad.
