I'm The New Freddie Chapter 11

iFeel like Dancing

The school day seemed like it took forever. Thursday's usually do because they are right before Friday. Freddie was supposed to meet the person who sent him the text message that morning after school near the bike rack. Sam walked up to him. She was wearing sunglasses and a hat. Freddie wasn't sure why.

"You came alone?" She asked.

"Of course. Do you see anyone else here?" He said.

"Okay. This is very important Freddie. I am being completely serious here."

"That's a first." Freddie said with a small chuckle.

"Yeah Yeah. Come on Freddie. You need to drop this whole "bad boy" act.

"It's not an act."

"Oh come one! You wanted something different and you got it. A girl that leaves you holding the smoking shoes."

"She was just scared of getting caught. And she is really an okay person." Sam took off her sunglasses and stared at him. "Fine. She is kind of not a good person. But why do you care so much now?" He asked Sam.

"Because it turns out that one Carly Shay might like you now." Freddie's eyes grew wide and a huge smile spread on his face.

"Don't freak out Freddie. I wasn't supposed to tell you this. So keep it to your self. She will tell you when she is ready but in order for that to happen you need to go back to normal Freddie so we can get icarly back on the air and get things back to how they were. Or get them to a good place again." Sam said.

"Okay so I take it I need to ditch these black clothes and go back to wearing stripes and khakis?"

"It might help. You know you could still wear something that isn't black but still doesn't have stripes in it."

"Yeah, I really should find some solid colored shirts." The two stood near the bike racks for a second taking in the view of their peers leaving for the day. Sam put her sunglasses on and said, "Be careful Freddie. I don't want to see her get hurt. Or you either." Sam left and Freddie stood alone contemplating his next move.

Carly sat in her apartment after school staring blankly at the TV. It was turned off and she couldn't figure out what to do with herself. "I need icarly!" She said to herself. Spencer shoed up from his bedroom and looked at her sitting on the couch.

"Why are you yelling at the TV? It's not even on." Spencer asked.

I just hate not having icarly. There is nothing to do after school now. I get done with homework in like an hour then there is nothing to do." Carly said.

"We could hang out." Spencer said.

"I would hate to take up all of your time Spencer. You need to have your own life too. And we see each other a lot any way. We hang out all the time. No offence." Carly said.

"Well, if you are bored with doing nothing and with me. You could try to get icarly going again. I miss Sam and Freddie being here all the time. I mean not under house arrest either."

"Yeah but how to get icarly back again? Wait. You would be okay with me hanging out with Freddie again? I mean you did rip his head off of your paper Mache sculpture of the three of us." Carly said in surprise.

"Well, yeah. I mean if you guys were back to normal. As long as he wasn't acting like a jerk like now. I mean all he has to do is become the lovable Freddie version of himself again. You think that is asking too much because I hope not." Spencer said.

"I think it can be done. At least I hope so too." Carly said. Spencer went back into his bedroom and Carly turned on the TV. She flipped through but didn't find anything worthy of watching except for a few Drake and Josh reruns she had seen a million times, so she turned off the TV.

She heard a knock at the door and went and opened it. Freddie was standing there in clothes that looked like Freddie. A red shirt and blue jeans. His white tennis shoes where really white. Carly felt like she opened the door to a few weeks ago. "Can I come in?" He asked. Carly nodded and he entered.

"Hey." He said while facing the door and her.

"Hey. How are you? Got a new look?" She said.

"Yeah. I decided to give up the whole man in black look. I'm doing well.

"Is your mom still watching you like a hawk?"

"Yeah she is. She says it will be a while before I can go anywhere alone again. Which means here and home and school basically."

"So like old times?" Carly asked with a smile.

"Yeah. Like old times." They stood for a moment and Freddie said, "I can't stay long I was just wondering if you were going to the dance tomorrow night?"

"Ummm, I might be going. With Sam. We were going to go together." Carly said.

"Oh cool. Well my mom said if I go with you guys I can go as long as we call every hour and check in with her. So if you guys decide to go can you let me know? I'd really like to go and dance. Especially after all this shoplifting drama. Doing some crazy dances could be fun." He said as he went to the door and opened it. "Bye Carly see you at school tomorrow." He said as he closed the door.

Carly sat on the couch and thought. She really wanted to go to the dance. And she really wanted to do icarly tomorrow night too, especially if Freddie is back to being himself again. She had a brilliant idea.

Freddie sat in his apartment. He was doing math homework at the kitchen counter when his phone rang. He answered and heard, "Hey Freddie. It's Jen."

"Uh, hi Jen. How are you?"

"I'm doing okay. So have you thought about the dance?"

"I have. I might be going."

"Oh good because I was hoping you would go with me." She said.

"Oh. I don't think that would be a good idea Jen. I mean after you ditched me at the mall and everything."

"I'm really sorry about that Freddie. I panicked. Come on it was a mistake. I really want to talk to you about it at the dance. You know when we are slow dancing together."

"I don't think so Jen."

"Is it because of Carly? Are you going with her?"

"No. I said earlier I might not be going. My mom might not allow me to. It has nothing to do with Carly."

"Sure. I know what you want Freddie. Tomorrow night I am going to give you what you want." She hung up her phone and Freddie clicked his off as well. This girl is crazy. Freddie thought as he went back to working on his math.

Friday went by really quickly for a Friday. It was after school before Freddie realized that it was almost a few hours until the dance and he still hadn't heard whether Carly and Sam were going. On their way back to their apartments Carly told him that Sam and she were going. Freddie entered his apartment with a huge smile on is face. His mother allowed him to go as long as she drove the three of them there and picked them up. They agreed to this and Freddie got ready for the dance.

It was 6:30 and the dance started at 7. Freddie told his mom they needed to go when he heard a knock on his door. When he opened it he saw her there. She was not wearing her normal clothes but she looked beautiful. Everything he wanted.
