Chapter 2- The mysterious Freddie
Carly wasn't proud of herself for standing up to , and freaked everytime he passed. Sam laughed at this, since she thought it was ridiculous. It was cute they way she crinkled up her nose when she laughed. Lately, I have been thinking like that and making cute little moves to hint that I like her. I don't know when that started, but since I let down Carly after I saved her life, I realised I didn't like her, but her looks. She was only beautiful to me, and now she isn't even beautiful to me. Oh well. Carly taps me, and Sam looks up from her chicken, mashed potatoes, and corn. "Can I talk to you, you know, in the hallway, alone?" Carly says. I look at Sam. "Yeah...Sam, we'll be right back." I say. She nods. I walk out into the hallway. "What's up?" I say, hoping she doesn't still love me. "Freddie, do you like Sam?" she asks. I check behind me at the cafeteria door, but Sam isn't there. "OK yes! I do! Is it obvious?" I ask looking a little nervous. Carly nods, but then continues, "But, not to Sam because she's blinded. Her heart is broken too much, so she can't tell hints at love." I looked away, a little embarrassed. "Freddie, I thought.." Carly began. I stopped her right there. " I did, but, I don't anymore. Don't ask why, OK?" I said, a little more gentle than I started off. She looked down, then walked by me. "Carly..." I begun, but she just walked away, into the cafeteria. I walked back in, only to see Carly acting completely normal. "Fredlumps, tell me what that was about." I looked at Carly, and she said, "Your choice, Freddie." I looked away from both of them, then left the cafeteria. I didn't want my heart broken by another girl.
I was sitting at my table, in shock that Freddie just made a dramatic exit. I felt compelled to help him though, almost like I new something special might happen if I did. I kind of wanted something to, but I was reluctant to admit it to myself. "Fredalupe?" I questioned. He turned around, looking upset. I walked to our lockers, and put my arm around Freddie's shoulder. He looked at me. "Love." he said. I gave him a confused look. "You know love stabs us every time. Love treats us like enemies, murders our hearts when we try." Freddie said. I looked in his eyes, as he remembered Valerie, Carly, and that other strange girl, Magic Maleka. I remembered Jonah, and the guy at my party, I don't even remember his name. "Why didn't we think of this before?" Now he was closer, his arm around my shoulders. He was now dominate. "We know how it feels, the most. I used to like Carly, but, eh. We can treat each other right." I could smell his minty breath, I popped a piece of gum before going out here, luckily. "Sam, we should be together." he finished, kissing my cheek. I felt myself blush. "I agree, completely. You know I would too. Your speech, it's right, and I don't like to admit it, but I am falling in love with you Freddie." He looked surprised. "Ha! My real name. Sweet." he said. "Don't get used to it." I said with a smile. "What..." we heard Carly say.
