Here's another installment of Hidden Meaning. Hope you guys like it!

Disclaimer: I don't own iCarly!


Sam's POV

How did that guy find out? I've been trying so hard to keep it a secret, and a random viewer claims to know what it means. First, I'm gonna e-mail this guy and see if he's right. If he is, I'm asking him how he found out. It's not like someone can just ask me that and I'll say the truth. That's as probable as Frothy getting a job.

So far, I only slipped once. At the dentist, when Carly found out about the kiss I shared with Freddie. I hate laughing gas. From what Carly told me, I told her that my thumb was missing then I told her that I liked fried chicken, which she took literally, and then I told her about the kiss. She didn't understand the hidden meaning in 'fried chicken', so I guess I'm in the clear.

Even though that is true, I don't think that they are completely unaware of my feelings. I bet Carly has figured it out by now, or at least suspects it. I mean, when I saw them at the Groovy Smoothie on the night of the Girls Choice Dance. I saw them dancing and was clearly jealous, and I'm sure at least one of them noticed it. Unless they were too busy dancing with each other. To this day, I didn't know why I felt like that.

"Let's get this guy into questioning!" I said. I typed in the e-mail that Freddie gave me and typed in my message.

Hey, Sam Puckett here.

Listen, you claim you know what the hidden meaning in 'fried chicken' is.

What is that?

I demand an answer, you better have one.

Sam.

PS: If you're online right now, add my screenname on Doors Messenger. It's 'samjpuckett'.

After I sent my message, I opened Doors Messenger expecting a reply. And a reply came. Quite fast, by the way. There was a notification on the screen of Carly's kitchen computer. It read:

SeddieSp1der has added you to their contact list, accept?

I had already e-mailed him, I wasn't gonna back out now. I pressed Yes.

SeddieSp1der's name showed up on my contacts list. Through an amazing coincidence, his personal message was 'Listening to Running Away by AM'. That's the song that was playing when Freddie and I kissed. Some serious chizz is going on, I'm sure.

The conversation I had with Sp1derp1g went on like this.

SeddieSp1der: Sam Puckett?

Samjpuckett: Yes, are you Sp1derp1g?

SeddieSp1der: Yes, I am.

Samjpuckett: Okay, do you know what the message is?

SeddieSp1der: Yes, I do. I assume you want to know how I figured it out.

Samjpuckett: Obviously!

SeddieSp1der: Well, I started watching your webcast from the start and I noticed the way you treated your coworkers. You work well with Carly and sometimes with Freddie Benson. You throw him off the stage, you give him wet willies… I saw that you kept ripping on him, and then I read this quote on a message board: "If a girl constantly rips on a guy, it means she has a crush on him." And then it clicked. You must have a crush on Freddie Benson.

Samjpuckett: W-what? You got to be joking...

SeddieSp1der: Am I? Think for a bit, and describe Freddie.

Samjpuckett: Okay, I like proving people wrong. :D Freddie's a dork, totally and completely. I know that if it wasn't for iCarly, I wouldn't even be friends with him.

SeddieSp1der: Okay, what's his eye color?

Samjpuckett: Brown, why?

SeddieSp1der: What do you think about his eyes?

Samjpuckett: W-well, they're brown, just like his hair, and brown's my favorite color. He is a dork, but he can be really sweet sometimes. Once, this friend of Carly's came back to town and was getting Carly away from me. Freddie won the School at Sea program and gave it to Missy so that I wouldn't be sad. Also, he's really smart and into computers and technology and stuff

SeddieSp1der: And you say he's a dork?

Samjpuckett: Yes, I said that twice already.

SeddieSp1der: If you had the chance to get another tech producer, maybe a better looking one, would you?

Samjpuckett: Yes, I… I would…

SeddieSp1der: Would you really?

Samjpuckett: No, I wouldn't.

SeddieSp1der: Why?

Samjpuckett: You know why.

SeddieSp1der: I do, but I want to hear it from you.

Samjpuckett: You won't hear me say it.

SeddieSp1der: Thenlet me read it. Why wouldn't you?

Samjpuckett: Because he's my dork.

SeddieSp1der: And why is he your dork?

Samjpuckett: Because I… I like him…

SeddieSp1der: That's a good girl. Do you know how you're gonna tell him?

Samjpuckett: I don't think he likes me like that.

SeddieSp1der: Oh, don't you? Come on, his speech on today's iCarly was evidence enough. If I was madly in love with a girl named Sam, I wouldn't come up with that quote.

Samjpuckett: What quote?

SeddieSp1der: The moon one.

Oh, that quote. I haven't thought much about it because I was so upset someone knew my secret.

Samjpuckett: Oh, that one…

SeddieSp1der: I think I know of something that might help you. There's a website called FanFiction .net in which people write about their favorite TV shows, games, whatever. I think there's even a music category, but I digress. Look for "Seddie". If you can't do it, ask Freddie. You will find something that will amaze you. You can't imagine the number of people who believe and do their best to ensure that Seddie becomes true.

Samjpuckett: But what is Seddie?

SeddieSp1der: When you get to the website, you'll find out. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go.

Samjpuckett: Wait!

SeddieSp1der: What's wrong?

Samjpuckett: How will I tell him? I don't know…

SeddieSp1der: Worry not, Sam. Words will find their way to you. In the meantime, watch a bit of TV's channel 141. It'll help. :)

Although this chat was a bit helpful, it brought me some questions that I didn't know how to answer. Questions like: How to tell Freddie? Does he already know? Will he accept it and not laugh? These questions tormented me.
