iSecret

I wish I thought up the idea of iCarly, but Dan beat me to it… plus I'm not that genius

Chapter 10: Hair Twirl

Freddie's POV:

I was in my last hour, Spanish class.

"Alright everyone, pair up and read the conversation on the sheet in Spanish, I'll be over here grading papers if you need me."

Gibby automatically came over to me. He was the only one I really hung out with in this class.

"¿cuál es su día preferido de la semana?" Gibby asked.

Without thinking twice I answered, "mi día favorito de la semana es el viernes"

"Okay, so I was thinking this time we could go the all-you-can-eat buffet at that new steak house." I rambled off excitedly, as soon as I heard about it I knew Sam would love to go.

But she didn't look half as excited as I had hoped. She looked unSamishly serious. I stared at her, worried, as she avoided eye contact and shuffled through her locker.

"Freddie…" she sighed and looked down, "we've been hanging out every Friday for practically two months and…"

"What is it?" I was too scared to wait through her pauses.

"It's just," she started but nothing followed. Her mouth was open like the words wouldn't come out.

I waited patently, my eyebrows meeting in concern.

"Nothing." She looked defeated, then looked up at me "Let's go."

Yeah, I was still worried, but I was overjoyed that we were still going.

"Maybe you'll feel better once we get some meat into that tummy," I poked at her side playfully. She laughed then turned and pushed me from the side. She pushed a lot harder than I (and I think she) expected because I was sent flying into the wall of the hallway. I slid onto the ground, my eyes wide with surprise.

"Aw geez Freddie, I really didn't mean to…" she started then her expression changed when she realized I was okay, "I mean, get up you dork, the meat is waiting!" she offered me a hand which I took.

She started running out the building, and since she was still holding my hand, I ran too. I was practically tripping over my own feet as I tried to keep up. I was laughing my head off for no reason in particular.

This is why I loved Friday.

Carly's POV:

I stood on the street, following a pair of people with my eyes. It was Sam and Freddie, they were running somewhere, they were laughing, and they were holding hands.

I didn't know what to make of that. I hadn't found anything to do this Friday so I was going to find Freddie so he wouldn't have to be alone again this Friday. I guess he didn't spend his Fridays alone.

I knew that they wouldn't go behind my back… but I didn't know what to make of it. Freddie would never cheat on me, and Sam was my best friend. They were just hanging out right? Just friends hanging out?

But he never laughs like that when I'm around.

I had to know what this was. I knew I was going crazy over this, sometimes I just can't control my crazy from coming out. But I had to reassure myself some how. I would just watch them… secretly… and then I would know and I could just go on with my life once I was sure nothing was off.

Freddie's POV:

"Alright, so you two can just head over whenever you're ready." the overly chipper waitress said. Sam didn't need to be told twice. She hopped up and blew past the stringy girl to get to the food.

I laughed and followed behind her. I knew I had made the right decision on where to go. I always looked forward to experiencing a place I thought I knew with her. She always made every usually mundane place fun. Like the park, McDonalds, Walmart, and, once, she had us sneak into a drive-in show. It was some kind of thriller movie, I couldn't really follow the plot because we didn't have sound (since we didn't pay) but we just talked the whole time anyway, sitting on the grass. I smiled at the memory.

We sat down. My plate had a drum stick and some mash potatoes, her plate was piled so high of practically everything I couldn't distinguish between substances.

But I did see something: apple pie. I didn't see that up there. Ooh it looked good.

I picked up my fork and reached over to have a piece.

*SLAP*

"OW!" I cried holding my injury.

"Mama don't share." She stated then stuffed her face with the pie I had just went for. I rolled my eyes and looked at my food. I wasn't that hungry. Sam always took my appetite away, but not in a bad way. It was like I couldn't fit anything else in my stomach with all the… butterflies. Yeah, I know, butterflies aren't manly. But who says I have to be all macho? I admit it! I have butterflies! Maybe if I call them moths it will salvage some of my masculinity…

"Not hungry?" she asked with a mouth full.

"Moths." I answered before thinking. She gave me a questioning look, but her mac & cheese was more interesting.

I couldn't stop looking at her since she looked up at me. She was concentrating on her plate full so she didn't know I was watching her. A soft smile lit my face. My blinking became slower and more rhythmic. It was like I couldn't focus on anything else. This has happened a few times, and I had always shaken it off, but this time I decided just to let myself enjoy it.

Subconsciously I raised my hand, stretch it over, and twirled it into her hair, her amazing golden hair. It felt better than it looked. My smile grew. Her eyes flashed up at me, she had a 'what's your deal' look to them. I immediately realized what I had done and retracted my hand.

Sam's POV:

Okay… WHY was his hand in my hair?

I guess we had been getting really close lately. I liked that. But this was just a friend thing. Because my best friend's happiness was at risk. I couldn't betray Carly in any way. But I didn't want to break this off. The only way I could be remotely happy was if I could handle these Fridays and NOT cross the line.

I better not mention the hand in hair thing… it would just make things awkward. Because I liked it, I wouldn't be able to hide that, but it couldn't happen again. No crossing of lines.

Carly's POV:

WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?!?

Are they on a date? Are they together? Are they cheating on me?!?

Calm down… just calm down…

Yeah, that was weird, but I shouldn't blow this out of proportion…

But the hair, and his hand, and the look on his face…

I gotta get out of here before I do something stupid.

Oooh, Carly knows about their little thing, what do you think? Ended too soon? Or did it end at all…?
