Spencer Shay was dashing up and down the ladder energetically, dipping his brush into the paint each time he climbed down.
"What are you painting?" Carly asked as she entered the apartment. She still couldn't tell what Spencer was painting.
"You'll be able to tell once it's done." Spencer replied.
"So where'd you get the energy to start painting again?" Carly questioned.
"Torro." Spencer said simply. He was still painting, delicately stroking the ceiling with his brush.
"What?" Carly said confusedly.
"Torro. It's an energy drink," He said, still painting. Carly examined the black and red can with a picture of a bull on it. "They say this stuff is addicting" Carly said.
Spencer replied distractedly, "I know. But I only need it until I finish my mural."
"How long will that take?" Carly asked.
"I don't know, but it'll be faster if I drink more of this," he said, taking a swig.
'That's probably loaded with caffeine,' Carly thought, as Spencer zipped up and down the ladder.
The door creaked as Sam walked in. "Hey Carls. Got anything to eat?" she said loudly as she walked in.
"Sam, that lunch you stole this morning…" Carly began.
"It was Principal Franklin's," Sam said matter-of-factly
"Yeah, I know. I heard you blamed it on Freddy," Carly said.
"Yeah, but he ratted on me, so I had to eat it all before they could search me. So I had a really early lunch, and now I'm really hungry. Got any ham?" Sam said all this very fast and impatiently. Carly pointed blankly to the fridge, still registering what Sam said.
Sam skipped happily over to the fridge. She grabbed the entire ham, and chomped into it happily. Freddy walked in, and saw Spencer flying up and down the ladder. He stared confusedly, a question on his lips.
Carly spared him of asking it by saying "Spenser has an energy drink." Freddie picked the can and said "Torro. I've heard of this stuff. I heard it has wild side affects."
"Just shut up and do my homework for me," Sam said.
"Why?" Freddie challenged.
"Because if I don't get a good grade on this, I'll flunk world history."
"Do I care?" Freddie asked.
"Yes" Sam said. Freddie realized that she was right. When Sam wasn't bothering and bullying him, she was a really good friend. Still, Freddy avoided the question.
"Why should I? You're always being so mean to me,"
"No I'm not," Sam said casually.
"Yeah you are," Freddy insisted. Sam opened her mouth, but didn't say anything. She thought for a while, and finally said "It depends. What's your definition of mean?"
"Getting me in trouble with the principal, copying off of my essays, and calling me mean names."
"Oh, I don't do any of those things, Freddork." Sam lied easily.
"You lie so well I would have believed you, if you didn't just call me a mean name right now," Freddy said.
"Freddork's not a mean name. It's just a nickname that I call you, like how I sometimes call Carly 'Carls'."
"Yeah, but you don't call Carly 'Carl-dork or Carl-nerd'!"
"Yeah, because she's not a dork, or a nerd!"
"Thanks a lot Sam. Now why don't you do your own homework?," Freddy asked defiantly.
"Because I'm tired." Sam said. Spencer tried to help.
"Hey! Try some of this!" he said, offering her his can of Torro.
Sam took a sip, and looked excited. Freddy said "Alright, now do your homework."
"In your dreams nerd," said a hyper Sam, and she began beating up Freddy. After a long struggle, Carly was able to break up the fight with Spencer's help.
"Sam!" Carly said. "Get out of here, and don't come back until you're ready to apologize to Freddy."
"Okay, bye." Sam said as she walked out of Carly's apartment, the entire ham still in her hand. A second later, she came back, and said "Sorry Freddie," through a mouthful of ham. She stared expectantly at him. Freddie thought for a while, then realized that it was the best apology he would ever get from Sam.
"Alright," he sighed. "Let's see that homework."
