Chapter 14: iAquarium

Author's Note: Bleh, I had so much writer's block for this one! And I sort of got some ideas, but I didn't think they were too good, so I really didn't feel like writing them. I absolutely love this challenge (the 100 Word Challenge). But, it definitely is a challenge. The chapter also didn't come out good because I sort of rushed it because it was annoying me to write, haha. So I promised myself I'd get it over with. So… yeah. Sorry! I'll really try and make the next chapter better.

Freddie's POV:

Well, Sam and I were having our first date. Sort of. I wasn't really sure if she would want it to be a date or not, so I just asked her to go to an aquarium with me.

Okay, you think I'm crazy. Who asks someone to an aquarium on their first date? And also, Sam probably hates aquariums. And so do most kids in high school. But that's just the point. I couldn't care less, but I know Sam wouldn't want people to see us. Therefore, I asked her to the most random, untouched by high schoolers, place.

She actually said yes. I guess she didn't care where we were going. She just wanted to be with me. And although I actually am interested in aquariums, I really just want to be with her too. I also think that she just might understand why I picked the aquarium.

It was sort of like a first date. I think she knew I was asking her out on a date, but I wasn't really positive and that was the one thing I was scared of.

I wore a blue and white plaid shirt with a lighter blue shirt under it, and blue jeans. I wanted this to be a date. I wanted her to know that. Therefore, I bravely bought her a bouquet of flowers and I brought them to her house as I walked there and knocked.

Sam opened the door and I saw her bright white smile. She had on an orange tee shirt, in the style that she and Carly always wore. She also had skinny jeans and sneakers. The outfit seems so casual, but the way her golden locks feel on her shoulders and the way her blue eyes looked into mine, she was beautiful.

I realized that I was staring at her with a big grin, and then I almost got scared as she looked at the flowers I was holding. "Um," I said nervously, "here." I gave her the flowers.

Sam looked at the flowers, looking confused and surprised. I was very afraid that she didn't think this was a date. But then she slowly looked up and beamed. She gave me a hug and I hugged her back.

We went to the aquarium, which was pretty close to her house so we just walked there.

When we got there, we were looking at the fish and I found it really cool and interesting. But, I looked over at Sam who was next to e the whole time, and she looked really bored.

"Uh… want to get something to eat or something?" I asked.

Sam sighed of relief. "Please," she sighed.

I laughed. "I'm sorry. I like it here… I knew you wouldn't… but most kids in high school wouldn't either so…"

"No, I get it," she reassured me. "And as for now… just dating without telling the whole world would be cool. We really don't need the whole school finding out and bugging us about it."

"Exactly," I agreed with a grin.

"So, food?" Sam asked eagerly.

"Sure," I chuckled. "What do you want?"

"I'm sort of craving fish sticks," she said, and I think she sounded a bit sarcastic but she wasn't lying.

"Yeah, I don't think they'll have those here," I laughed, with a smirk. "How about some ham?"

"You know me," Sam said with a flirtatious smile.

"I do," I grinned. I bought us some ham and we ate it and she kept staring at me really sweetly. I felt like I was being watched, by someone other than her.

We were about to leave, because I knew how much she hated this, but first she thanked me. We were by the door, and Sam wrapped her arms around my neck and stared up at me. She kissed me for around five seconds very passionately. This was the first time we kissed publicly. And of course, something has to go wrong.

I opened my eyes to see two tall, familiar girls behind Sam. A tan one with dark hair and a fake bleach blonde one next to her. They had their hands on their hips and their eyebrows raised.

"We saw you together," the tan one, Tasha, the only one who talks, said. She was like the snobby girl in our grade. "We're here for like, a school project on fish or whatever. And we saw you sitting together, and now kissing? Wait until everyone finds out."

I eyed Sam and she eyed me back. We had nothing to say.

Again, not too amazing. Don't be mad at me! I'll make the next one good. Bye!
