iWill Always Love You Chapter 2:

iMissed This

Sam was sitting in the middle of her boring Geography class. Her, Carly, and Freddie hated that class. And to top it all off, it was at the beginning of the day. Everyone moaned about how much notes they were taking that particular day. Mr. Kimball really wanted to enforce the concepts into their little minds.

"O.k. class projects on my desk!" Mr. Kimball announced as the class was finally over and everyeone ran out to get to the front lobby for an announcement about graduation.

"What the heck do you think this announcement is about?" Sam asked as they made their way down the stairs to the already impatient crowd.

"I think it has something to do with location." Freddie said. "They never did tell us where the grad ceremnony was going to be held."

"Could be." Carly said. "Or maybe they're canceling it all together." Everyone just looked at Carly. "Who am I kidding?"

"Well looks like we're going to find out soon enough." Gibby stated as the graduation comitee made it's way downstairs.

"O.k. people please settle down!" Ms. Briggs stated into the Ridgeway bullhorn."We will now make an important announcement about grad."

"Now as you all know that grad will be held here at Ridgeway once again." Principal Franklin said. Everyone moaned. They always did it here.

"It will now be held on JUne 18th 2011. That way we can get rid of you guys a lot more quicker." Mr. Howard said of course he was directing that comment at Sam.

"Can't wait till I get out of here either Mr. Howard." Sam said while everyone just laughed.

"Now please sign these forms and have them brought back to me by next week. These forms will tell your parents or guardians of the changes we made to the dates." Principal Franklin said.

"Now for the students attending the Europe trip..." Mr. Howard began.

"Can I leave?" Sam asked.

"Yes please." Mr. Howard said annoyed while \sam left to go give another sophmore a wedgie.

"As I was aying, the trip is in a few weeks." Everyone cheered. Sam apparently was the only one that wasn't going.

"Now I expect you all to get everyhng packed these comming weeks." Principal Franklin stated.

"This a one month tour of Europe so please come fully prepared." Ms. Briggs stated.

"Can I go without a shirt?" Gibby asked.

"NO!" Everyone screamed. They all thought that was really getting old and they were basically just tired of it.

"o.k. so now we are all clear that we meet here first before taking that stupid train to the airport?" Ms. Briggs asked.

"It is not stupid!" Mr. Howard said. Everyone just looked at him. "It happens to be economically friendly."

"Yeah a crowded train with 500 students. Way to go Howard!" Ms. Briggs stated.

"O.k. moving on. We get off the train at around 6:00 in the evening then dodge traffic to make it into the airport. We check in, and the flight leaves at 12:00 midnight with or without youi." Principal Franklin siad.

"I would much rather prefer the without part." Mr. Howard stated.

"Howard!" Everyone screamed at him.

"Sorry." He simply sighed.

"O.k. now back on topic." Ms. Briggs stated. "Classes will be canceled for seniors that day." Everone cheered and screamed for joy.

"Oh my god this is the best thing that's ever happened to Ridgeway since locker 239 became available!" Freddie screamed.

"Or the time we all ditched school to go to the ice skating rink." Gibby stated.

"What?" Principal Franklin asked. Everyone just punched Gibby in the arm.

"I wasn't supposed to say that was I?" He asked.

"You think?" Carly asked.

"Anywas school will be cancled since you teens will probably try to catch as much sleep before heading out." Mr. Howard said.

"Now since ths is a one mont trip, I expect you all to be on your best behaviour." Principal Franklin said.

"Like that's ever going to happen." Mr. Howard laughed.

"O.k. are you done now?" Principal Franklin asked.

"Yeah." Mr. Howard sighed in defeat.

"Now all forms were handed in right?" Ms. Briggs asked.

"Yes!" Everyone shouted.

"Good." Principal Franklin said.

"Now that is all for the meeting enjoy your lunches." Every student ran out of Ridgeway fpr the break.

"Ready to go Carly?" Freddie asked.

"Let's go then." Carly said as the two friends left the school.

RITAS PIZZA

"I swear I've really misssed this place." Carly said taking a bite out of her pizza.

"We used to coe down here every single day after school when we were in the grade eight" Freddie said laughing.

"Remember the time Sam set up a stink bomb in the girls washroom?" Carly asked as she laughed at the memory.

"Yep. That's why she's sill banned from this place."

"I never really understood why she always picks on people." Carly sighed.

"Same here." Freddie said as he took a sip out of the soda he was drinking,

"Hey it's Sam we're talking about here." Carly said laughing.

"Good point. She'll make fun of anyone at all." Freddie said laughing.

"Hey Freddie?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you think Shane has been acting a little...you know weird lately?"

"How so?"

"Well we never get to really see each other anymore. And whenever I call, I always get his answering machine."

Freddie began to think the worst for Carly. Not answering her calls, not seeing her anymore. Could it be a sign? A sign that something bad was going to happen to their relatinship. Freddie began going through all of the options in his head.

"How long has this been going on?" Freddie asked.

"I don't know about three months now." Carly replied. "And he didn't get me anyhing special yesterday. But he tells me he loves me anyways,"

"Do you believe him?"

"Of course I do."

"Oh...then you should trust your instinct." Freddie said sadly.

"Thanks Freddie. Your such a great friend. Now who's up for some skating?"

"Lets go then" Freddie said as the two friends rushed out the door.

Freddie and Carly had really enjoyed their alone time. They really missed it when it was only them two. Sure Sam was their friend and all, but they really wanted to spend time with just them two. Whenever they were with Sam, things seemed to get out of hand. Like last week at the Groovy Smotthies she choked T-Bo for not leaving them alone. Of course, Freddie and Carly had fled the scene before anything bad can happen. Thank god Carly wasn't working night. She would have been fired for sure. Freddie and Carly had to hide in the alley to make sure they wouldn't take part in the angry mob that was for sure going to happen anytime. They had a laugh about that.

ICE SKATING RINK

Freddie and Carly were gliding along the ice with other Ridgeway students who were also done for the day. The two of them had enjoyed skating ever since they were 12. They thought of it as their favorite passtime when they had nothing else to do.

"You know I actually realized how much I missed skating." Freddie said.

"I know it's so much..." Carly fell flat on the ice and apparently twisted her ankle.

"Oh my gosh Carly are you o.k?" Freddie asked as he skated his way over there.

"I think I twisted my ankle." Carly said holding her ankle in pain.

"Can you walk?"

"Yep." Carly said as she got up. It wasn't hurting too bad so she should be able to make it back home.

"Come on. We better get home ot put an ice pack on that ankle."

"I think your right." Carly smiled as Freddie helped her up.

CARLY'S ROOM

"O.k. I think I can make it onto the bed." Carly said as Freddie helped her onto the bed.

"Want me to go get that ice pack?" Freddie asked worried.

"Yeah. And can you make hot chocolate for the two of us while your at it?"

"Sure." Freddie replied as he closed the door.

Freddie began fixing their hot chocolate just the way they liked it. Carly may be in a relationship, but he would take care of her anyday. He loved her. He wanted to make sure that she was totally comfortable. Shane may be planning something big, but when it did happen he wanted to make sure that he was there to tell her everyting was going ot be allright. Carly was special to hm, and as long as she wanted him to be in her life, then he would be there. No doubt about it.

"Hey brought you the ice pack and the hot chocolate just the way we like it."

"Thank you so much Freddie." Carly said as Freddie began to put the ice on her ankle.

"Feel better?"

"A little." Carly replied. "Hey Freddie?"

"yeah?"

"Tank you for taking care of me." Carly said as she kissed his cheek.

"Anytime." Freddie smiled.

"You know I actually missed hanging out with you." Carly said as she laid down on her pillows.

"I missed it too. I hardly see yu anymore."

"Don't worry. When we go to Europe that will all change." Carly said.

Little did Carly know that when they got there, things were going to change for both of them. Forever.
