Hey guys, new chapter! My longest chapter so far and it took forever to write! So read and enjoy!

Sam POV

I walked out of Freddie's apartment and walked straight into Carly's. Freddie had helped me so much in math, even in less than two hours! He was a way better teacher than our actual math teacher. I should listen to the nub more; he might be able to teach me a lot more stuff.

"Hey, Carls," I greeted Carly when I came through the door. She was sitting on the couch watching the animal channel. I will never understand why she watched that channel...

"Hey, Sam, how did it go with Freddie tutoring you? You didn't hurt him, did you?"

"No!" I said way too quickly. "I mean...he didn't do anything to annoy me. Plus he's a really good tutor." Whew, saved. I sat down next to Carly when Spencer came out of his room.

"Hey Sam, here on my couch again?" he said.

I smiled at him. "When am I never on your couch? Do you have any ham?" I asked both Spencer and Carly. Carly answered first.

"Yeah, I bough some earlier; I knew you'd want some."

"N'aww thanks Carly." I stood up and patted her head as I passed and walked to the fridge. I looked inside her fridge and took out some ham and started picking at it.

Just as I had started to eat, Freddie walked through Carly's door. My stomach was suddenly full of a swarm of butterflies at the sight of him. Suddenly I didn't feel so hungry anymore. Why does the sight of him mess me up? Urgh!

"Hey Sam," he called and walked over to me. The swarm of butterflies in my stomach moved around again at him saying my name and coming towards me. "You left your pen and phone at my house." He took my phone out of his back pocket and the pen from behind his ear. "Don't worry, I didn't look at you phone. Just don't kill me!"

"You better not have." How much I believed him and didn't want to verbally abuse him. But I, Sam, must keep up with the 'I hate you' façade.

I took my phone and pen out of his hand and put it in my front pocket. I'm sure that I hadn't taken it out. Oh well, I probably dropped it when I was gathering my stuff into my bag.

"So Sam, when do you want your next lesson?" he asked me. To be honest, he could tutor me all day and night just so that I could talk to him and be near him. It's like when ever I leave him it feels as if I'm being attracted back to him like a magnet, but I force myself to be away from him. I hated the way he made me feel.

"How about tomorrow? I need to learn every little thing you could cram into my head. The test is only in a few weeks so I need to learn a lot...If that's okay with you..." I added lamely at the end. I cringed inside.

"Uh, yeah sure. Well, I'll tell ya tomorrow when you can come over. Night Sam...Again," he smiled at me weakly and turned away. I tried to smile back but the attraction to him was growing stronger and stronger the more he walked away. As soon as the door closed I was pulled back into reality and away from the force of Freddie Benson. But as soon as that force was gone I felt as if a small part of me had left. I hated him for it.

I sat back down next to Carly on the couch while Spencer worked on a sculpture. I was too depressed to even look at what he was building. Sigh. I was depressed because Freddie was so near yet so far away from me. Did I like him? Did I like him a lot more than I should? I didn't know my own mind! In my head I was having a fight with myself. It felt like my positive side was losing.

How could you like him?
How could I not?
Come on, think logically! He'd never like you back!
But he has been nice to me lately...
Probably so that you wouldn't beat him up! Think, Sam, he wouldn't like you because you cause him so much pain! Both emotional and physical! Let it go.

Yep. The positive side had lost.

Freddie POV

Seriously Freddie, how would Sam Puckett like you? She constantly rips on you. Only a sane person could realise that!
But maybe I'm not a sane person, though. Anyway, Sam actually listened to me and accepted all of the stuff I was teaching her tonight.
Maybe she just didn't want to go to Summer School.
You're probably right.

In my head I was going through two things; one that was completely insane and one that was completely true.

But in my head, they both seemed to make sense. Man, I was insane. It wasn't fair! I knew from the first time I saw Carly that I was in love with her. I knew it for years, but now the blonde headed demon walks in and makes everything bright and blinding in both good ways and bad. It made my thoughts shadowed and blocked – I wasn't sure if I liked Carly anymore. Sam had come into my life and made everything so bubbly and pear shaped. My life wasn't a perfect neat circle once Sam was in the equation.

It took me ages to realise I was lying on my bed fully dressed with my shoes still on. I changed into pyjamas and took off my shoes and climbed into bed. I rested my head on the pillow and fell into a deep sleep with the perfect blonde angel-demon in my mind.


"What makes life worth living is knowing that one day you'll wake up and find the person that makes you happier than anything in the whole world. So don't ever lose hope and give up, everything turns out okay and the good guy always wins." – Unknown.


Everything seemed clear now. I didn't love Carly anymore. I think I stopped loving her after we lasted about a week together. It felt like the sudden realisation was just stupid because I'd already known it for quite some time. You're an idiot, Freddie. Yep, true that.

It was twelve in the afternoon and Sam was coming over. My mom was at work so we'd have the house to ourselves to do work on math. I was determined to get Sam to an 'A' if not a 'B'. She needed the best help she could get in passing her test and I was going to give that help. Even if she refused to let me teach her anymore – even though last time she was actually listening and paying attention – I was not going to let her fail.

Just the same as yesterday there was a knock at my door and I rushed to answer it. The blonde headed demon suddenly became an angel as I saw her. And with seeing her I suddenly realised what I knew the whole time. I was in love with Sam Puckett.

"Afternoon Sam," I said to her. I mentally kicked myself for being so polite to her. Luckily I was saved when she just smiled at me.

"Hey dishrag," she said. She once again strode past me but not before taking off her shoes and putting them beside mine. She chuckled at the size difference like I had yesterday. I shut the door and followed her to the other room.

Sam POV (A/N. The first tutor lesson was in Freddie's POV, so I think it's time to see it from Sam's)

I was in love with Freddie Benson. I knew it from the time that he opened the door and lamely said 'Afternoon Sam' to me. I smiled at his lameness and how cute he was when his face changed like he was kicking himself for saying it. He always did it; I doubt he even knew he did.

I walked in and sat down on his couch where he sat down before, he sat down next to me where I sat yesterday. His house smelt exactly like him and it was a sweet smell of cinnamon and freshness. I loved it.

"So, where do you want start today?" Freddie asked. I took out my notepad and pen and put it on the table.

"Urm, I can't stand percentages. Teach me that," I said to him. I watched him get up and walk to a nearby table and pick up some notes. They had simple percentages equations on them to start off and further down the page was more percentages but harder.

"Okay, try this Princess Puckett." The sound of the way he said 'Princess Puckett' made my stomach flip, "What you're going to do is work on these ones first," he pointed to the ones on the top of the page, "and then you're going to work down to the bottom of the page and see how you do on the harder ones. What you do to start with is break them up. You know what fifty-percent is? It's half, so if you wanted seventy percent you'd separate it and do fifty-percent of it and then twenty. See?"

I nodded. I understood what he was telling me. Suddenly math didn't seem so hard anymore, Fredward Benson had helped me understand it a lot more in five minutes then I do in an hour in an actual math lesson. He was a good teacher and I was surprised that I could even concentrate with him so near with his delicious scent clinging onto him.

I worked hard for an hour and he could tell that I really understood it, so he took the notepad off of me and marked what I got right. I peeked over his shoulder and rested my chin on it. I saw that I got all of them right and I was pleased with myself for not being so distracted by Freddie's closeness. I was shocked that I could even rest my head on his shoulder without him flinching away from me, and I was glad. I could happily keep my head on his shoulder but I knew I would have to take it off eventually, so better sooner rather than later.

I took my head off of his shoulder, and by the time I had decided that I should take it off only seconds had passed.

"Well done Sam, you got them all right. See, if you pay attention more then you could get everything right in math when you're in class. I think this deserves us a little break from tutoring, you've been doing math for an hour straight, so I think you're hungry."

He was right, the boy knew me well. "Uh huh, so what've you got in the fridge for me then, Benson?" I got up off of the couch and followed Freddie to the kitchen where he looked inside of the fridge and brought out a platter of ribs. Whoa, that must've been expensive! That must be all for me seeing as he didn't eat ribs.

"Thanks Benson! Wow, this must've cost you loads!"

"Merr, I was mostly hoping that I didn't have to buy you anymore smoothies with this, but I don't think it's worked—"

"Nope," I quickly fired back. I was not going to let this pass as a 'get-out-of-buying-Sam-smoothies' card. He was going to keep buying me smoothies for as long as I need him to – which will be forever.

"Yeah, I didn't think so. So hey, has Carly done some planning on her party yet?"

"Yeah she's going to go get more fairy lights and big bowls for the party today with Spencer, she told me before I left to come here." I was munching on ribs and before now I used to not mind Freddie watching me eat, but right now I felt so uncomfortable with him seeing me with barbeque sauce around my mouth and on my fingers. I felt hesitant to eat the way I normally do.

"Aw man, my mom'll be home in less than eight minutes! You better scram, Sam; my mom doesn't know that I spend thirty dollars on those ribs!" Whoa, thirty dollars is a lot for ribs, they must be quality meat. I was finishing up the last rib so I quickly nibbled the last bits of meat off of the bone and put it back on the tray platter. I ran over to the sink and quickly scrubbed my hands with soap and wiped my mouth on a paper towel.

He walked me to the door after helping me put my stuff away into my bag. I slipped on my shoes that were next to his – my shoes looked so dainty and small compared to his.

"See ya tomorrow Sam," he said and hugged me. I hugged him back and my heart skipped a beat or two and my cheeks flushed. Quit it Sam! DO NOT SHOW ANY EMOTION!

Freddie let go of me quickly and cringed his face as if scared I was going to punch him. I hated how he was always so scared of me. I hated myself more for making him feel that way.

"Bye, Freddie," I said and closed the door behind me.

Again the feeling of magnetism and separation washed over me. How much I wanted to open the door again and be with him and talk to him. I knew Freddie a lot but I wanted to know more of him, the things that I didn't know. Like his favourite colour, his favourite toy when he was younger, his all time favourite movie – oh wait, I already knew that one (Galaxy Wars), and so many other questions that needed to be answered! Like did he have a happy childhood, what was his favourite song right now, and how many songs did he have on his PearPod? I wanted to know every little thing about him, and I didn't even ask Carly that many questions.

Carly knew a lot of things about me and I knew a lot about her but I knew nothing about Freddie Benson.

I wanted to. I needed to.
