Chapter 11

Tears And Kisses

"Smile," I hissed.

"I am."

"Well smile bigger!"

"I can't smile any bigger!" Girffin said.

I rolled my eyes.

"Just act like your having the time of your life."

Griffin and me walked into Mia's house.

"Hey! You must be Griffin," Roxanne said walking towards us. "Mia's upstairs. She still deciding what to ware. So you guys are dating?"

Roxanne was wearing black jeans,and a 6 degrees, gray, sleeveless, scoop neck. She had converse on, dangley, sliver, earrings, a bunch of black bangles on her left wrist, and a silver bracelet on the right wrist.

"Yeah," I replied squeezing Griffin's hand tighter. "Two happy weeks."

"What about Freddie?"

"What about him?" I asked.

"If Gibby told people about my crush on him he is so going to die!" I thought.

"Nothing." Roxanne eyed Griffin funny. "Griffin?"

"Yeah?" he replied.

"Have you ever been in juvy?"

"Well-"

"You have a criminal record? Do you ware boxers or briefs? You can always tell what type of guy a man is by what underwear he wears. Do you like starwbreey smoothies? If you like the bulebreyy, banana, kumquat, it means your gay. Are you gay? Are you just pretending to be straight? Do you dye your hair?"

"I'm not gay!"

"You sure?"

"Yes! Why would you even think that!?"

"Well you two don't seem very into each other. So either Sam's a lesbo or your gay!"

"..........."

"I know! Why don't you kiss her! Maybe if I see you two that I'll be able to picture you together."

"We don't like public displays of affection," I said quickly.

"But I thought Wendy, Carly, and Freddie saw you kissing at Groovy smoothies."

"............I have to pee!" I stated.

"Thanks for sharing."

"Your welcome," I said walking towards the kitchen.

While I was speed walking away from them I over heard Roxanne ask " So do you prefer boxers or briefs?"

I hated to leave Griffin alone with her, but I couldn't stand her any longer. I was looking for Carly when I spotted Wendy grabbing random people and saying "You two will be a couple when we have a dance out back."

"Great! We have to dance, with partners!" I thought sadly spotting Carly and Freddie standing behind a island in Mia's kitchen. Carly was pigging out on ice creme, with a sad look on her face, as Freddie talked to her.

"Why don't you just tell her?" I asked waving my spoon around.

"What about you Carly Shay? Why don't you tell Griffin?"

"I....but...he..."

"When you tell Griffin, I'll tell Sam."

Before i could reply Sam came into the room.

"Hi Sam," I said, tiring to sound happy.

It was bugging me that she, of all people, would be dating my ex-boyfriend. How could she do that to me!? My own best friend, now my worst enime. Not like I would tell her. She would actually hit me. you do not want Sam to hurt you, unless you live near a hospital and I do not.

I walked towards them grinning.

"Hi," I said.

"Where's Griffin?" Carly asked, her mouth full.

Carly was wearing a blue, strapless, sweetheart, dress. Her accessories included a big, black, belt, a headband, and black Xandra pumps.

"Talking to Roxanne. She should be a cop. Shes really good at interrogating people."

Carly laughed, a little, and went back to in hailing cookie dough ice cream. I glanced at Freddie. He was looking down at the floor, his fist clenched.

"Freddie?" I said.

He looked up.

"I...um-"

"Pizza's here!" Yelled Wendy walking into the room carrying a huge pile of pizza boxes towards a near by table. After she set the pile down she looked over at us and gasped.

"Carly shay! Drop the ice cream! It has carbs!!!!" Wendy yelled.

Carly immediately drop the carton of cookie dough and her spoon. She then closed her eyes and put her hands in the air.

"Megan said not to eat fatty foods! If she saw you eating that she would make you run laps all practice."

"But Sam snuck a fat cake and Megan didn't make her run," Carly whined.

"Yeah, but Sam beat the crap out of her and got kicked off the squad. Now she is forever band to cheer again! Do you want that to happen to you?"

"Okay one, the bet ended yesterday so I was allowed to hurt her. Two, I'm so heart broken I got kicked of the squad," I said dramatically putting my hand on my forehead. "And three, that reminds me Fredward, you have to be my slave for a whole day! Starting tomorrow of course!" I said happily.

He groaned. "I completely forgot about it," Freddie said. Those were the frist words I had heard him say in the past two weeks. Well I heard him talk during iCarly, but no where else.

I smirked and Wendy laughed.

"Carly who so sad? Is this about-"

Carly nodded.

"Oh. I know what to do!" Wendy said getting a mischievous smile on her face. "You should dance! Roxanne, Mia, and me set up this dance area in the back. Its a tent with hard wood floors and there's colorful lights and snacks. I got everyone paired up with dance partners. Now you need one. If you dance, maybe you'll work off all those calories from the ice cream." Wendy said dragging her to the hallway. "You should dance with Griffin!" Then Wendy popped her head back the kitchen. "You don't mind, do you Sam?"

"No," I replied nodding.

"Great!" Wendy yelled grabbing Griffin arm and dragging him away from Roxanne.

With them all gone Freddie and me were alone.

"Nice dress," Freddie said after a few silent minutes.

I was wearing a Max and Cloe sleeveless Taffeta ruffled-hem dress. The top was a V neck and from the shoulders to my waist the fabric was plain black. From my waist band down it was gray. The hem had ruffles. To go with it I was wearing hoop earrings and a black, thick, bracelet on my left hand. My hair was down, and curly and I was wearing black ballet flats.

"Thanks. My mom made me wear it."

It was true. My mom forced me to wear this monstrosity. She wouldn't let me leave the house without it. See, she bought this outfit for herself (even though it's much too small to fit her) and she didnt fell like "breaking it in" so she made me. I felt like a girly girl in this dress. When Griffin first saw me in this he was like "I thought the bet was over." That earned him a good old kick in the shin.

"Sam! Freddie!" Wendy sang coming into the room. "I've all the people here with dance partners except for you two. So you will just have to dance together," She said pushing us all the way to the dance area tent thing. When we finally got to the spot she wanted us to dance she let go of our wrists.

"Ol righting then. You two have fun, just try not to kill each other." She said walking towards her partner, Jake.

Suddenly a drum roll blasted through a speaker and Mia came out on the small wooden stage. She had her hair in a ponytail with a black head band. She was wearing a black, Fleurish, short-sleeve, ruffle-front, top, dark blue jeans, and gray ugg boots.

"Hi! Is everyone having a good time?" Mia said into a mic.

"YEAH!" Everyone yelled.

"Great! Now I know you all have dance partners, but no music. Right?"

"Right!"

"Well that problem is solved!" Mia said nodding at Roxanne.

Roxanne click play on the remote she was holding and the song "The Bitch Song", excuse my french, by Blowing For Soup started playing. Everyone but Freddie and me started dancing. We just stood there and watched everyone else. I got a glimpse of Carly and Griffin. They were grinning ear to ear and danceing super close. I even saw Gibby holding hands with his "Girlfriend", while yelling at Obutt to get a life. Then Gibby gf and Obutt started cat fighting. Obutt pounced on his girlfriend and they fell to the floor dragging Gibby with them.

I sighed and Freddie looked at me.

"Are you going to ask me to dance already?"

"oh, um."

I rolled my eyes and put my hands on his shoulders. He put his hands on my waist. We started to sway side to side.

"Fredwad?"

"What?"

"I know you and Carly broke up..."

"Yeah."

"Why did you guys? I though Carly was your dream girl?"

"Uh....turns out she wasn't."

"What? She wasn't a good kisser?"

"No. There was just no spark."

"Uh-huh."

"Why did you ask?"

"Just wondering."

We danced silently as I listened to the song. "Your a bitch, but I love you any way, so why don't you stay......."

This song was true to me. Sam was a bitch, yet I liked her. Which I know is weird cuz she's always ticked off at me or hitting me, but all that just made me want her more. I wanted a girl who had an attitude, can kiss can fight, and looks hot without any make up. And that was Sam.

The song ended and the song "Disconnected" by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus started. I started singing quietly and Freddie joined me. We started singing louder and a little off key. I laughed.

"Don't hang up on me, cuz I'm hung up on you..." Freddie sang off tune.

"That was terrible!"

"Look who's talking." He retorted.

"Pssh. I'm way more in key then you."

"No your-"

Wendy was dancing with Jake and "accidentally" bumped into Freddie, which made him fall on top of me. We stared at each other.

Sam's hair was sprawled around her head and her eyes sparkled. The song kiss the girl started to play and I did exactly that. I couldn't help myself. I inched my face closer to hers and our lips met. Soon I gain entranced to the inside of her mouth and out tongues met. Sam touched the back of my head and she grabbed a hand full of my hair. I did the same with one hand and cupped her face with the other. Our french kissed got more aggressive, heated, and passionate.

After we finally pulled apart for air we realized what we had just done. We laid on the floor, wide eyed, felling awkward and confused over our make out session. I eventually got up and held my hand out for her to grab, but she pushed it away and got up herself. She looked away from my gaze and crossed her arms. We stood there lost in thought.

"Oh ****! I just kissed Sam! And it wasn't for spin the bottle, educational purposes, or just to get a first kiss over with. I can't believe I just kiss Sam Puckett! What if Griffin finds out? I'm dead meat! But she did kiss me back. Does that mean she likes me? No way. She'd never like me," I thought.

I closed my eyes and listen to the next song that was playing, "Things I'll Never Say, by Avril Lavinge.

I was so confused. I liked Freddie, but I thought he liked someone else. Why did he kiss me? Why did he not say that Carly and him broke up because he likes someone else. Could that be me? No.

"Fredweird."

"Um...yes?"

"What just happened?"

"I...I don't know."

I sighed. It looked like I wasn't going to heard a love confession tonight.

"Okay fine. It never happened."

"Right."

"Do you think anyone saw?"

"No. There all too busy with each other,"

I nodded. I was ready to cry. Who knew when Griffin and I could stop this shirade, or if Freddie really liked me, or if Gibby paid girls to pose as his girlfriends. If Freddie really did like me he would be jealous. He would tell me I was the girl he loved more then Carly. He would tell me that he felt the spark and fireworks I felt when we kissed. He wouldn't kiss me for no reason. He probable so was so desperate or depress he kissed me only for the sole purpose of at least making out with someone. The jerk! Well I'd have enough. Tomorrow I'd tell Griffin the fake dating was over. He could go date Carly. At least Carly showed she liked him, unlike Frednub over here.

Suddenly I felt something wet slid down my cheek. I touched it. A tear. Freddie couldn't see me cry, especially if it was his fault I was. I wiped my eyes and ran toward Mia's bathroom. I heard Freddie call my name but I was too far away to hear what else he said.

As soon as I reach the restroom I locked the door and fell to the floor. That's when the tears started coming.

Aaaaw. Poor Sam. Yeah I know you hate me. Anyway next chapter is coming up! Remember to comment/review!
