OMG, I checked my email today and found so many from fanfiction about this story! I was so happy; this is only my first one! Thanks so much for reviewing and adding me to your alert/favorite list!

Carly POV

Sabrina and Freddie linked arms and walked away. I remember Freddie mentioning some girl he had talked to over the Internet, but I really wasn't listening, since he was talking to me while I played the greatest video game ever, Violin Hero, in the studio. Spencer came up to me and tapped me on the back. Turning around, I found him now with a burnt carrot stick and two cartons of yogurt.

"What are you doing?"
"Oh, see, I was hungry, but since there was some hobo in my room—"
"Don't wanna know,"

I turned around to see Sam glancing shyly at Griffen. I still couldn't believe Griffen was interested in Sam- not that I don't think she should have a guy be interested in her- but still- Sam and Griffen? What, has the world gone crazy?

I tapped her on the shoulder. "Yeah?" she turned around.

"Sam, I don't think it's a good idea for you to hang out with Griffen," I told her, a little nervous about her reaction.
"Don't worry, if he hurts me I'll snap his arm," she replied, glancing at him again.
"I know, I just think..." I said, trying to come up with an excuse of why she shouldn't be with Griffen, "you know, if I didn't like him for having Pee-Wee babies, imagine what it'd be like for you!"
"Carly- I telling you, it's fine. I can really tell he likes me."

What! He actually told her he really liked her? Okay, something's wrong here. First he dates me, later tells me he plays with Pee-Wee babies, we break up. Almost a year later, he comes back and says he likes Sam? There's something wrong with that. He couldn't be... oh my gosh. "Uh... okay. Be right back!"

I frantically ran around my super-crowded apartment, trying to find Freddie and that Sabrina girl. Finally, I found him, leaning on the staircase and talking to her as if they knew each other for years. "Freddie!" I grabbed his arm and tried to drag him away. But apparently, puberty hates me, because I couldn't manage to move him more than 3 inches.

"Can this wait, Car-?"
"It's about Sam and Griffen!" I almost yelled in his face.
"Fine," he gave in, "Be right back," he smiled flirtatiously at Sabrina. Weirdly, she fell for it. Not that I think Freddie is ugly, but I just don't like him that way. I thought I did once, when he saved my life, but I realized he was just being a good friend and helping me out.

"What?" he asked hurriedly, as though he was afraid of someone catching us.
"Griffen is using Sam!" I told him, watching his face carefully. He clenched his fists.
"S-s-so?" he said, acting as if he didn't care. He is the worse actor ever.
"Don't act like you don't care about Sam, just go talk to Griffen and tell him to back off."
"Why is he using Sam anyways?" he asked causally, as though we were talking about the weather, but I could see right through him.
"I dunno... maybe" I drifted off, lost in my thought. Oh my gosh! "Maybe he's trying to make me jealous!"
"Well, why can't you do it? You're the one he's trying to make jealous. And, I'm a little busy here..." Freddie nodded his head towards Sabrina who was looking around.
"Because he's my ex-! I can't talk to him, that'd be so... slimy!" What? I don't like using bad words. Spencer says it's not lady-like, although Sam doesn't really agree.
"C'mon, it's been a year! Plus, if you care about Sam, you'd do it for her, wouldn't you?" he tried persuading me.
"Please, for me?" I hoped that still worked on him.
"Nope," he remanned adamant.
"Fine, then I'm telling Sabrina that your mom still gives you tick baths!" I hoped that was threatening enough. I have a lot to learn from my female best friend.

His lips twitched, as though he was about to say no. "Fine," he gave in.
"Thanks! And you're not just doing this for me, you're doing it for Sam!" I was too happy to listen to his mumbled denials. Instead, I hugged him, in a friendly way.

"Whoa, what's going on here?" I turned around, to find Griffen staring wide-eyed at us. "You got together with the dork?" Okay, no one calls Freddie a dork but Sam (and me... sometimes).
"No, but I have something to say to you," Freddie said. When did he turn so audacious?

"Let's talk over there," he said, nodding his head towards the kitchen table. I turned kinda nervous. I tried to stay nearby the table just in case, eavesdropping on their conversation.

Freddie POV

I still cannot believe I'm doing this. Griffen is a jerk for using Sam, but using her was sick. He couldn't just ask Carly for a second chance like a normal guy? I have never met a guy so... icky (my mom doesn't let me use bad words... ever), that also plays with Pee-Wee babies.

"So, I hear you like Sam," I said as causally as possible. I'm not sure he believed it, though. Carly once told me I was the worst actor ever. I think that was yesterday when I told her her lemonade was delicious.

He scoffed, and I clenched my fists again, for some unfathomable reason. "Sam? Please. Carly's way hotter." Was this dude blind? "Anyways," he continued, "I'm just using her to make Carly jealous. No big deal, right?" Wrong. It was a big deal. Sam looked like she really liked him, and he was just using her? Carly was right.

"Just back off from Sam, dude. Then no one gets hurt." I seriously hope Carly doesn't get jealous, she deserves way better than that guy, as does Sam.

He just scoffed again. "Seriously?" he laughed, shaking the yellow table.

"What?" I said, trying to figure out a good comeback, "you gonna set Willy the Walrus on me?"

It was his turn to scowl. "Don't. make. fun. of. the. Pee. Wee. babies." he growled. I heard someone cracking up behind me... Carly? Was she eavesdropping?

I rolled my eyes, and faced Griffen again, not caring whether Carly heard what I said now. Griffen didn't seem to notice Carly at all; I guess he was just worked up about the Pee-Wee babies insult. "You just stay away from Sam," I threatened.

"Or else what, you're gonna give me a tick bath?" Okay, who told him that? Seriously, my mom hasn't given me one since... 4 hours ago. "Face it, Benson. Sam likes me, and whether or not it crushes her or not, I'm gonna get back together with Carly." This jerk! I was 99.9% that behind me sure Carly had the same expression I did.

I got up, just saving my dignity. Out of nowhere, Sabrina came and grabbed my arm. "What was that about?" she asked. She must have been watching us argue.

"Nothing," I muttered. "Just trying to helping a friend out. "

Cliffhanger! Again, thanks for reviewing, and I'll try and update soon if you guys want me to!
