iTell Freddie the Truth
Carly and Sam stood in the hallway at Ridgeway High School, "So are you going to tell him?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, I was planning on waiting until the time was right," Carly answered.
"Until the time was right for what?" a familiar voice asked.
"Oh, Freddie! How nice to see you!" Carly exclaimed.
"Not really," Sam said.
"So..." Freddie started, "what were you guys talking about?"
"Oh, you know... stuff," Carly answered.
"What kind of stuff?" Freddie asked.
Sam thought about it for a minute, "Boys."
"I'm out of here," Freddie said, walking away, disappointed.
"Good one," Carly complimented.
"Thanks. Remember this as a strategy. If you ever want to get rid of a guy, just say that you are talking about boys. It always works, trust me," Sam explained, "So what were we talking about?" Sam asked.
"Boys," Carly told her.
"Oh yeah, so you are going to tell Fredweird that you like him when the time is right?"
"Yep," Carly answered.
"How about now?" Sam asked.
"Uh, sure I guess," Carly answered. She walked over to Freddie's locker, "Hey Freddie, can I talk to you?" Carly asked.
"Sure," Freddie answered.
"You know how you always ask me out and I always say that I just want to be friends?"
"Yeah..." Freddie said.
"Well..." Carly started. Suddenly the bell rang, cutting her off.
"I'll talk to you later," Freddie said, walking away.
"So, did you tell him?" Sam asked as she ran up to Carly.
"No, the bell interrupted me," Carly said with a sad look on her face.
"Aww, don't worry, there will be more chances," Sam assured her.
"Yeah, but now I have to re-live the scary moment of walking up to him and starting a conversation that leads to the words, 'I like you,'" Carly complained.
"Then don't say those words. Say something like, 'Freddie, it's not you, it's me," Sam suggested.
"Sam, that's what people say to their boyfriends when they are breaking up with them," Carly explained.
"Oh, well I don't have any other ideas. Why are you nervous anyway? You know he likes you," Sam said.
"Yeah, you're right," Carly told Sam.
Later that day, after school was over, Carly and Freddie were hanging out in the iCarly studio, "Tell him now!" Carly thought to herself, "It's the perfect opportunity!"
"Hey... Fre-Freddie?" Carly finally said.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"I just wanted to say..." Carly started.
"Dinner's ready," Spencer came in and said.
"How can this be so impossible?" Carly thought to herself.
They walked downstairs and sat down at the table.
"So, what were you going to tell me?" Freddie asked Carly.
"Oh, I'll tell you later," Carly answered.
After dinner, Carly and Freddie sat on the couch and watched a movie.
"Okay Freddie, before I get interrupted, I have to say..." Carly started.
Suddenly Freddie's mom barged in, "Freddie! What are you doing still awake? Do you realize that it's already..." Mrs. Benson looked at her watch, "7:30PM?"
"So many opportunities, yet so many failures," Carly thought frustrated.
"Mom!" Freddie yelled, "It's not even a school night!"
"I don't care, you are coming home right now!" Freddie's mom ordered.
"Fine!" Freddie yelled as his mom dragged him away.
The next day, Carly texted Freddie, "Can you come over?"
Within seconds, Freddie was knocking on Carly's door. Carly answered it, "Hey Freddie, so listen, I really have to tell you something."
"I'm listening," Freddie said.
"Okay Carly, it's now or never," Carly thought to herself.
"I... like you," Carly said, "Finally, I said it!" Carly chanted in her mind.
"Really?" Freddie asked, "I don't know what to say."
"How about 'Finally, I knew this day would come!'" Carly suggested.
"Well... here's the thing. I don't exactly like you anymore," Freddie said.
"Wh-what?" Carly asked, heart-broken.
"I'm kidding!" Freddie said.
"Freddie, that wasn't funny!" Carly yelled.
"Yeah, yeah. So you want to go out with me?" Freddie asked.
"Yes!" Carly told him as she leaned in and kissed him.
