Chapter 10: iJealous
"Did you ask her yet?" Carly asked me as we walked to class.
"Yeah!" I said proudly. "It wasn't easy, but I finally made my mom stop giving me tick baths!"
"Not that!"
"Oh." I felt myself blush. "Um…"
"Did you ask Sam to Prom yet?"
"We have a Prom?"
"Duh! It's tomorrow night!"
I sighed. "Sam is avoiding me since last night. Why do you think she'd be my date to Prom?"
Carly rolled her eyes. "Cuz you two are perfect for each other! And if you don't take her…"
"Jeff will."
Carly looked around to make sure no one was listening. "That won't happen, right?"
"Well…"
Carly punched my arm lightly. "Look, there she is!" Sam and Jeff were standing at Sam's locker. Jeff was whispering something in her ear. "Go ask her!" She pushed me towards them.
"Uh…" I said, walking up to them. "Hi…?"
"Hi." Sam and Jeff said together. Sam wouldn't look me in the eye. She still had no idea I knew she was pregnant, and I wasn't gonna tell her I knew her awful secret. She'd do illegal things to me.
"Freddie, are you going to Prom?" Jeff asked, putting his arm around Sam's shoulders. "I heard a rumor you're going with Carly Shay…"
Sam was still staring at the floor. I was tired of protecting her when all she did was hate me. If she wanted to date the guy who raped her…it wasn't my problem. Not anymore.
"Yeah. I'm taking Carly." Carly didn't have a date either, and maybe it would make Sam jealous and realize how much she loved me…or not.
"Cool." Jeff said. "Me and Sam are going together."
"We are?" Sam looked surprised. "You never…"
Jeff held up two tickets. "Samantha, will you go to Prom with me?"
Sam blushed. "Duh." She whispered, pressing her lips against his, knowing I was watching.
I hoped they got detention for PDA.

"God, why did you do this to me?" I glared at Carly. "This is how the CIA torture people!"
Carly rolled her eyes. "I need your honest opinion!" She twirled around on the podium in the Purple dressing room. "What do you think?" Her dress was hot pink, and hit just above her knees. "Do I look sexy?"
"More like a chewed wad of bubblegum."
"Freddie!"
"What? You wanted my honest opinion." I replied. You just couldn't please girls. They told you to tell the truth, but got mad when you did. Maybe I should just become a mime. Mimes never said the wrong thing.
Carls came back out a minute later in a floor-length white gown. The sequins sparkled in the light and made her look like a giant diamond."
"Well?" She asked hopefully.
"Whoa…way better. You should buy that one." I told her, refraining from saying she looked like a lollipop with her skinny body and huge head.
"Carls, can you come help me? The zipper's stuck!" Sam called from the next stall. Carly had dragged Sam along to try on dresses too. After a lot of screaming, begging, and promises of ham, Sam finally agreed to try on one dress. I was supposed to help them decide, but it was easier to just lie and say they looked good. I learned that the hard way.
"Sure." Carly disappeared into the dressing room again. She had agreed to go to Prom with me, but she still thought I should ask Sam. Well, no thanks. I didn't enjoy rejection. Once was enough.
"I hate this." I heard Sam complained from inside the stall. "I can't believe you made me put this thing on, Carls." Carly ignored her. She was just happy her plan had actually worked.
I heard Carly wrestling with the zipper. "But you look so adorable in a dress!" Carly argued. "I think you'll love it." The door swung open and Carly dragged Sam out. "See for yourself."
Sam kept staring at the floor. Her golden curls hid her face from my view. I couldn't even recognize her. The pale blue dress against her skin made her look completely unlike Sam. It made me realize how far out of my league she was.
