Chapter 6

Plot: Freddie accidentally mistakes Sam for Carly and tells her that he loves her. Only thing is-she loves him back!

Thanks for all of the reviews so far! I appreciate it so much!

Freddie couldn't take their stupid flirting anymore. He abruptly stood up and stormed out of the Groovy Smoothie. On his walk home, the strangest thing happened-every girl he looked at would strangely morph into Sam's face. It was so creepy. From toddlers to grandmas, all he saw was cascading golden curls and icy blue eyes. All he could see was Sam! Freddie nearly ran to the Bushwell Plaza and into his room. He ignored his mom's attempts at conversation and leaped into bed.

He had to get his mind off of Sam. He drifted off into sleep…

Freddie stood at the altar in a tuxedo. He was waiting for his blushing bride, Carly, as she and Spencer walked down the aisle. A veil covered her face completely, but finally, as Freddie pulled back the veil, he saw Sam's face. Freddie gasped and Sam noted this. "Don't you want me?" she asked.

Before Freddie could respond, he saw Adam leap up onto the altar and he smirked, "I'll marry her." Freddie felt himself being pushed towards the back of the church where Sam and Adam were kissing.

"NO!" Freddie yelled. "She's MINE! She STILL LOVES ME!"

But the crowd murmured, "Too late. Too late."

"I'm too late!" Freddie bolted awake. He glanced at his clock. Crap. It was 3:27 in the morning. Freddie was confused as to what the dream meant. Suddenly, the answer was clear. He remembered his jealousy at the Groovy Smoothie, his weird walk home, and now his dream. It was as plain as day. Oh god, he was in love with Sam.

~A Few Days Later~

"Carly, I need to talk to-" Freddie began at her locker.

"No, Freddie, Sam needs to talk to you," Carly interrupted.

Carly walked away leaving Freddie alone with Sam. "Sam-" Freddie began.

"Freddie, let's just pretend that last week never happened. We never dated, okay?" Sam cut in.

Freddie's face fell, "Oh. Um, okay, if that's what you want."

Sam smiled faintly, "Look, believe it or not, I kind of missed abusing you on a daily basis." Freddie merely nodded. "So, everything is back to the way it was. Back to the way it was supposed to be."

Freddie thought, But what if this isn't what it was supposed to be.

~Later On~

"Carly," Freddie started as the two of them sat in the Groovy Smoothie. They were going to meet Sam here after detention ended. "I need to tell you something."

"Oh, god," murmured Carly, obviously thinking that it was about her.

"You may not like it but-"

Carly winced.

"I'm in love with Sam."

Carly dropped her smoothie. "What?"

Freddie continued, "I don't know how, but I just realized that somehow, I fell in love with her."

Carly asked, "What do you mean? Elaborate, please?"

Freddie explained, "Well, everything about her is opposite me. She's my other half. She's beautiful and now, every time I look at her, I feel warm on the inside."

Carly did the weirdest thing. She slapped Freddie across the face. "OW!" he cried.

She hissed, "You couldn't fall in love with her a few days ago? Now, she's heartbroken, finally moving on, and now you decide to fall in love with her?"

Freddie answered, "It wasn't a decision, it just happened."

Carly shook her head, "It happened too late, Freddie. You're too late."

Sam walked into the Groovy Smoothie with Adam by her side. They were laughing at some joke that he told her. "Hey, guys," Sam chirped, brightly. "I ran into Adam on my way here and I kind of invited him. Um, is that okay?"

Carly nodded while Freddie looked sour. Sam shrugged and plopped down between Carly and Adam. The seating arrangement was now Freddie, Adam, Sam, Carly.

After an awkward silence, Adam said, "Um, I'm gonna get a smoothie. What do you guys want?"

Sam grinned at Adam and they both said in unison, "Strawberry Blitz!" They giggled and Freddie rolled his eyes. Carly just said, "Um, Strawberry splat, please? And what's a Strawberry Blitz?"

Sam responded, "You'll see!" Adam smiled and walked to the counter.

Freddie whispered, "Why is he here?"

Sam shrugged, "I invited him. So, how goes it people?"

Carly answered, "Eh, things are okay. Oh, this cute senior dropped his pencil yesterday and when he bent over to pick it up, I totally checked out his butt."

Sam giggled, "Eww! Gross, Shay."

About a minute later, Adam came back over with three smoothies and an extra cup.

He gave Carly her strawberry splat and then poured half of the Blueberry Blitz into the empty cup. He added in half of a different Strawberry Splat into the empty cup. He poured the rest of the strawberry splat into the ½ cup of Blueberry Blitz and he grinned, "Ta-da! We have 2 orders of Adam Taylor's famous Blueberry Splat or Strawberry Blitz!"

Sam smiled and slurped hers. Adam was about to do the same when his smoothie slipped and 'accidentally' spilled all over Freddie. Adam groaned, "Aw, man, I'm so sorry dude. Here, lemme get that for you." Adam mopped up the dripping smoothie but Freddie just shrugged. He pulled his smoothie soaked sweater off and tucked it into his backpack. No way, was he gonna leave and give this guy the satisfaction.

Adam turned to Sam and asked, "Can I have a sip of yours?"

Sam pouted, "And what do I get back?"

Adam responded, "I'll let you beat me at boxing, next time we go?"

Sam smirked, "I beat you anyway."

Adam tilted his head, "Then, I guess I'll just have to take you out one night, won't I?"

Sam bit her lip, "Like a date?" Adam just nodded. Freddie's eyes widened.

Sam answered, "Sure. It's a date."

And Freddie's heart went flushing down the toilet.
