Chapter 9: iGet Sweet Revenge

I only needed one word to describe my day. Terrible.

Everything went wrong. Usually I blamed Karma…but this wasn't because I stole five bucks from a little boy. Well…maybe it was. But it was probably because of Freddie.

The girls had never thought of me as a threat. They thought I'd leave last night…but I didn't. Now they've made it their mission to ruin my life.

At first it was stupid stuff. They pointed at me and whispered. Then they threw all my stuff around our bedroom. Then Kate pushed me in the pool…then they ate all the breakfast. I had nothing left to eat! Not even a crumb!

Stealing my food? They've gone too far.

Freddie acted like everything was normal. I guess he was too stupid to notice what witches they all were (except for Amber) Seriously, he was really stupid sometimes. It was kinda cute…stop! God, I kept forgetting I had to play "hard to get".

"I hate those witches!" Amber said as we laid on our beds. "They make me so mad, I could just…do children watch this show?" She looked around the room like she could see the hidden cameras. "Um…I could just be really mad."

"You're not fooling anyone." I told her, smirking. "But whatever you do…I'll help. Do they have a death wish? They starved me!"

"They did you a favor. We had to eat…seriously are there kids watching us? I know it's a family show…"

I rolled my eyes. "Not the point! No one starves me. No one. We need revenge."

"Oooh, I love revenge!" Amber said excitedly. "We can burn their makeup!" She laughed. "Imagine it…"

"We can do better."

"What are you thinking, Sam?"

"I'm thinking honey…pour it in their hair while they sleep."

"You're a freaking genius! Madison and Kate will scream their heads off!"

"Totally. But who cares? They weren't using their brains for anything." She smiled. "But they'll see they messed with the wrong girl."

"Can we still burn their makeup?"

Confession Camera:

"Sam is acting strange." Freddie said, frowning. "Did I do something wrong? I don't think…maybe I just…oh, I have no idea!" He sighed. "We haven't talked since last night. And I need to talk to her. I love talking to Sam. I don't feel uncomfortable with her." He ran a hand through his hair and laughed. "Actually, I just need to talk to Mumble."

"Freddie is so mine!" Kate squealed as she applied more lip gloss. "We talked all day and he was so interested in me. I totally feel sparks…like fireworks. Hey! That rhymes…cool. I could be a poet! Right?" She frowned at the camera guy. "Hey, stop laughing! Why are you laughing? Jerk!"

"Did anyone else notice Kate following Freddie today?" Amber asked, rolling her eyes. "She's like a sad, lost puppy. I really hope she gets eliminated next." Amber crossed her arms. "When I talk to her, it's always about her. She makes me want to cut my own ears off! Wait…maybe I should just cut her tongue off."

"Honey…" Sam was ready to explode with excitement. "And Kate. Excellent."

"Can I help you?" Sam asked, staring up at Freddie from her lounge chair.

Freddie just kept staring. She was so cute sleeping…

"Freddie!" Sam shouted, throwing the bag of chips down. "Stop. Staring. Do you know how creepy you look? More than usual."

"Sorry." Freddie mumbled, but he kept staring at her. She was even cute insulting him.

"Freddie, stop that! You're officially creepy. Are you happy now?" She put her hands on her hips. "Do you feel proud?"

"You'll kill me anyway, so yes." He grinned at her. "I'm sorry I interrupted your important nap. But making you angry is the only way to get your attention."

"We don't have to be together all the time, Freddie." Sam stuffed a handful of chips into her mouth and started to walk away. Freddie grabbed her arm. "Let go of me!"

Freddie didn't let go, but he stepped back just in case. "Please tell me what's wrong."

"Please come back to reality."

"Sam!"

"Fredward!"

"Sam…" Freddie stepped closer and his life flashed in front of his eyes. "I'm not stupid. If you tell me…you can go dream about running through a field of fat cakes!"

"God, if it makes you go away…" She sighed. "I feel like an idiot. You kept saying you want to know me better-"

"I do, Mumble."

"Stop calling me that!"

"Sam…" He whispered in her ear. "I do want to know you. More than anything."

"Well, you're doing a terrible job." Sam frowned. "All we do is kiss…we're not learning anything about each other that way."

"Oh, I don't know. I've learned a lot." His laugh turned to groaning when she pulled her arm away and punched his shoulder. "Um…forget I said that."

Sam started to yell but she blushed instead. Stupid Freddie! Why did he have to say stupid things? Why did she like it? She'd never felt like this before. She was falling for Freddie now…but would she still feel like this when she knew the real Freddie? They were so different…how could the love last?

She really hated this show.

Carly grabbed a handful of popcorn and ignored Melanie shouting "Stop hogging all the food!" She and Melanie couldn't look away from the TV screen. Sam was opening up to Freddie a little more every day…even if she didn't realize it.

"I don't like Amber." Melanie said, grabbing more popcorn. She was craving salty stuff. "She could steal Freddie away from Sam!"

"But Sam is friends with Amber." Carly said. "And stop stealing all the popcorn!"

"Hey, I'm eating for two." Melanie patted her baby bump. "I think this baby inherited Sam's love of food."

"Oh, I changed my mind. I'll never babysit for you."

"Carly, you promised!"

"Yes…but I've already got Sam. I can't handle two starving girls stealing all the food from my fridge. And stop eating all the popcorn! We. Are. Sharing."

Melanie patted her baby bump again. "Do you really think I care?"

"Probably not." Carly sighed, watching Sam and Freddie argue.

"So where's Spencer?"

"He's at Socko's." Carly sighed as the phone rang. "Who's calling and why can't they wait until a commercial break?" She didn't want to miss a thing! What if they kissed again?

"I'll get it." Melanie offered, reaching for the phone on the table in front of them. "Hello? No, I'm not Carly Shay…but I'm a friend." She listened for a minute. Carly was too busy watching Love Ain't Reality to notice something was seriously wrong.

"Who called, Mel?" Carly asked when Melanie hung up. Melanie didn't answer. "Mel?"

"Y…your grandfather." Melanie whispered as Carly realized how small and scared she sounded. "He's coming to Seattle."

Carly turned off the TV. "Is something wrong? Mel, what did he say? What happened?"

Melanie shook her head. She didn't know Spencer as well as Carly and Sam. But she knew he was the nicest adult she'd ever met. And he was healthy! How could this have happened to him? She wiped a tear from her eye.

"Melanie?" Carly asked again, knowing something bad had happened.

"We need to go to the hospital." Melanie finally whispered. "Spencer had a heart attack."
