Sorry if the second like, fourth of this confuses you momentarily. I'm just going to tell you first off that it's Freddie.
Also, thank you guys soooooooo much for all the reviews on this story! It makes me soooo happy reading all of them! Thank you sooo much! :))
So anyway... read onn!
"Where's Carly?" I ask once we've calmed down.
"She said she'd be late. Spencer had some meeting with the fire dept. and she needed to be there."
"Oh..." I say. I see movement over Freddie's shoulder and Mel is waving frantically, now with a boy by her side. She motions me over.
I look back at Freddie and say, "Come on, I want you to meet somebody." I walk past him and he follows behind me all the way to Mel and the boy she's with. "Freddie, this is Mel, my roommate. Mel, this is Freddie, my friend."
She holds out her hand politely and he shakes it, "Hi," they both say at the same time.
Then Mel motions to the boy next to her, "And Sam, this is my boyfriend Logan. Logan, this is my roommate, Sam."
We laugh and shake hands, also saying "Hi," at the same time.
"So are you going to be singing tonight?" I ask Logan. He's tall, with dark blonde hair and blue eyes.
He nods, "Yeah. And I hear you'll be tough competition for me in the karaoke tournament."
I get a confused look on my face and look to Mel for an answer, "I didn't know I was singing..."
"Yepp!" she simply says. When I give her a look she sighs and says, "Come on Sam! You have to! You have such a good voice!"
"I've never even sang for you before!" I say.
"You sing in your sleep." she states, a serious look on her face.
"I do not!" I counter.
Freddie elbows me and I look at him, "You should do it." he smiles a little.
"Give me a run for my money." Logan says.
Before I can answer Brian yells that the food is ready and we all race for the table where everything is set. We grab our food, Mel gushing the whole time how good it is, and sit down at our own table. Some of the kids we were playing with join us and soon our table is full.
David sits next to Freddie and they have their own conversation. Turns out the little skater dude knows a thing or two about computers. Kelsy and Sarah sit next to me and we talk about the uncoming karaoke competition and years past.
"Logan's a really good singer!" Sarah says.
"Yeah, but you're probably going to smoke him this year, right Sam?" Kelsy asks.
I shrug, "I don't know. I've never heard him sing, much less heard myself that well."
"Is that your boyfriend?" Kelsy points to Freddie.
"Him?" I ask, pointing at Freddie and laughing the tiniest bit. They both nod. I look at Freddie then back at them, "No. We're just friends."
"That's what Mel said about Logan before they started going out!" Sarah points out.
I smile and take a second look at Freddie. He's looking at me. He quickly looks away then back at me and asks, "What did they ask?"
"Noth-" I shake my head, but the girls cut me off.
"When are you going to ask her out?" Both of them ask him at the same time.
Incredibly, I see color fill his cheeks. He looks away and takes a huge bite of his hotdog.
"We're not going out." I say, turning back to the girls.
"Sure..." they say.
After dinner, Ryan and David take off on their skateboards around the neighborhood and most of the little kids go back to jumping around on the play equpiment. They each take little breaks to see Logan or Julia take their turns on the karaoke mic.
Freddie and I sit in the front, him trying to think of a song I can sing and me denying each one and trying to change the subject.
Too soon though, it's someone's turn to sing and Freddie pushes me out of my seat. Mel then continues to push me the rest of the way up the stage and Julia puts the microphone in my hand. All of a sudden "Sparks Fly" by Taylor Swift comes onto the speakers.
My eyes go straight to Freddie looking for help. He's simply standing at the end of the stage smiling. He mouths 'Go for it' and soon i'm on the chorus.
Drop everything now, meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain
Cause I see sparks fly, whenever you smile,
Get me with those green eyes baby as the lights go down,
Give me somethin that will haunt me when you're not around,
Cause I see sparks fly when ever you, smile...
Some of the kids run over from the play equipment to watch me and soon i'm jamming out, and having fun on the stage. I do funny little dance moves and everyone laughs. By the time it ends everyone is clapping and Freddie helps me off the stage. Once I'm on the ground he wraps his arms around me in a hug. I hug him back.
"Why didn't you tell us you could sing like that?" he says, and lets go to face me.
I'm beaming and all the kids run up and hug me and say how good I was and all that jazz, pushing Freddie out of the way. I look up at him with all the little kids surrounding me and he's smiling at all the little kids, then me. I laugh, then direct my attention to all the youngsters surrounding me.
Carly shows up in time for my next two songs. I introduce her to Mel and they hit it off, talking pretty much the rest of the time. Logan is really cool. Turns out he's a really good singer and it comes down to him and me in the competition. I win though, and he's really cool about it.
Afterwards, Logan joins Mel and Carly and they talk for the rest of the night, while I am drug over to the swings and am forced to push all the little kids. Freddie helps me though, as we go up and down the line pushing all the boys and girls. It's really fun.
Carly gives Freddie a ride back to their apartment building and the rest of us pack everything up and head back home.
Dear Diary,
Today Carly and I went to a barbeque held by the shelter Sam's in. They allow them to invite people so she told Carly and I that we could go. So I went.
She's been nicer to me lately. I'm not sure how long it will last, but it's almost like we're friends. The other day she came up to me at school and asked how I was because she heard that my mom had sprayed my bed sheets with some new antibacterial stuff that I'm allergic to. It was an accident of course. She was totally serious about it too. She didn't even make fun of the rash I got or anything.
Come to think of it, she's been nicer to everyone. My favorite part of this recent change in her is watching her interact with all the little kids at her home there. When I got to the park today, she was playing tag or something with all the kids at the play equipment. I walked up and startled her. The second she turned around her face was filling with color.
I don't know about her now. I've been getting this weird feeling every time I see her. I know how that sounds, but it can't be like that. This is Sam we're talking about. Yeah granted she is really pretty and can sing like an angel, but... no. It just wouldn't happen.
So anyway, when I got home I couldn't stop thinking about the night we had. So I texted her. She said she couldn't talk because she was comforting one of the little kids that fell down when they were roughhousing. I smiled at just the thought of that. I smiled at the thought of Sam. Did you hear that?
I've got this funny feeling that i'm already in a little too deep.
Review pleaseee?
Tell me what you guys think about Freddie and how he feels and stuff!
