Chapter 28: Continuation of Prom
[SAM'S POV]
"Sam, that was insane!" Shane said in ecstasy.
I just sang on stage with a bunch of people looking at me. Even though I was totally terrified at first, I had an awesome time. It was like, my troubles all washed away when I was just rocking out to the beat of the music. I was myself and best of all, I think I just overcome my stage fright.
"Yeah, whatevs." I said and turned to look at him. "And just so you know, we're even now okay?"
"Good God! That was the best performance we had ever gotten this night!" Max said.
"Totally! We whipped their heads off! They're still giving us an encore!" Austin said in glee.
"Guys, will you chill for a sec?" I said as both of them stopped bouncing around like a bunch of little four year old girls and looked at me.
"What's wrong, Sammy-pants?" Austin said as he gave me a noogie.
"Yeah, Sam-mbo!" Drew popped in. "We were just enjoying our time of fame. Come on!"
"Guys, I think what Sam's trying to say is that you stop bouncing like toddlers." Shane laughed.
"Oh!" They all said in understanding.
I chuckled as I shook my head.
"SAM!" Someone exclaimed as I was ambushed in a hug.
"Wendy girl! Whattup?" Austin cheered.
"Austin! Max! Drew! God, it's so good to see you three!" She exclaimed as she let go of me and proceeded in giving them hugs.
You might be wondering why we know these people. Let me explain. You see, Max, Drew and Austin are the members of Fiasco, Shane's band. Max, the guy with jet black hair, is the drummer. Drew, with dirty blonde hair, is the keyboard player while Austin, the guy with brown hair, is the Bass player. They all started the band when Shane transferred to Ridgeway High School. Long story short, they became a band and sometimes rehearsed at Wendy's house coz they have a recording studio owned and managed by Will, Wendy's brother.
"You guys were amazing! Just, totally awesome!" Wendy exclaimed as she looked at all of us.
"It was nothin', really." Drew said as he rubbed his neck.
"It was all thanks to Sam, actually." Austin said as he rubbed my back.
"Say what?" I asked in bewilderment. "What are you talking about, Aus?"
"Don't be in denial, Sam!" Shane said. "We all know you were the reason why they are screaming their heads off."
"Yeah! You're the best singer we have ever heard. I told you Fiasco wanted you to be the lead singer. But you refused" Max said with a pout.
"Sam, they are absolutely right!" Wendy said as she hugged me again. "You were just wonderful. You finally sang in front of millions of people."
I chuckled as then Shane, Drew, Max and Austin joined in the hug.
"GROUP HUG!" Max said in glee.
"You baboons!" I laughed.
They retreated and grinned at us.
"Sam, you should do another number." Wendy suggested.
"Oh no, I'm already even with Shane." I said.
"Even?"
"Shane told me they would only perform when I do a number with them." I explained as she nodded.
"Come on, just another one!" She pleaded. "You two can do a duet this time!"
"A duet?" I asked.
"Yeah! Didn't you two write a duet?"
"Oh yeah! What was that song called again?" Austin said as he snapped his fingers.
"It was… Ah shoot, I forgot!" Max exclaimed.
"Woah… something?" Drew said.
"WOAH OH!" Wendy snapped her fingers and pointed at us.
"THAT'S THE ONE!" The three exclaimed in agreement.
"Come on! Please? Shane? Sam?" Wendy pleased.
I looked at Shane who looked at me.
"Well?" Shane asked as I only shrugged.
"I guess we could do it." I said as Max, Drew, Austin and even Wendy cheered in glee.
"THANK YOU!" Wendy exclaimed as she hugged both me and Shane.
"We're gonna do Woah Oh! We're gonna do Woah Oh!" The three idiots sang and skipped as I laughed at how ridiculous they look.
Shane then leaned in towards me and whispered. "Remind me again why I picked three children as my band mates?"
I laughed as I whispered back. "Coz they're awesome."
"Okay, it's show time!" Wendy exclaimed as she then pushed us all out of the back stage.
"But Wends I-"
"No buts! Now, GO! Good luck!" And that was the last that I heard her talk before we were walking near the center of the stage.
The applause of the audience was invulnerable and I felt like we were rock stars. Max, Drew and Austin directly ran towards their destined instruments and I walked towards the microphone. I looked back at Shane and saw him pick up his black guitar.
"Psst! Shane!" I whispered at him.
He looked at me and mouthed a what.
"Where's your mic-"
Just as I was about to tell him where's his microphone and mic stand, Wendy suddenly popped out and placed the two objects near mine and smiled at me.
"Thanks Wends!" I smiled as she mouthed a no problem.
"Hello Ridgeway!" I exclaimed as every senior down on the floor screamed in excitement.
Shane then stood near me with his guitar draped asymmetrically on him.
"We're going to sing a song that Sam and I composed a few weeks back. It's called Woah Oh and we hope you guys like it." He smiled as I turned to the three guys behind us and nodded my head, signaling them to start.
Shane:
I candy-coat and cover everything
but I'm still hiding underneath
It's been a long time,
It's been a long time.
A thousand faces looking up at me
hands all pointing to the ceiling
Oh what a feeling.
Me:
I've got friends in highly low places.
Shane:
I'm standing on post, and I'm posted up
can't afford to lose them.
Me:
I've got friends and highly low places.
Shane:
I'll go inside when I wanna party
Grab a girl and dance
Me:
(Don't touch me)
Both of Us:
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh,
Why do I put myself in these situations.
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh,
I keep pushing myself even though
I can't take it at all, whoa
Shane:
Girl,
Me:
Yeah?
Shane:
Who taught you how to move like that?
Me:
You did
Shane:
At this pace you're at you're at you're going way too fast
Me:
Ha
Shane:
I, I saw you far across the room
It's me vs. every guy
It's your choice, you choose
Me:
I've got friends in highly low places.
Shane:
It's been a long time it's been a long time
Me:
Ha
Both of Us:
And maybe baby you can rise above the rest to meet me and
Both of Us:
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh,
Why do I put myself in these situations.
Whoa Whoa oh Whoa oh,
I keep pushing myself even though
I can't take it at all
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh,
Why do I put myself in these situations
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh,
I keep pushing myself even though
I can't take it at all,
Me:
I can't take it at all
I can't take it at all
Both of Us:
You're worth,
losing my self esteem
Your clever words mean
nothing more to me than
than a line I heard in a movie
You're worth,
losing my losing my losing my self esteem
Shane:
You're not worth,
Both of Us:
Putting myself in these situations
Me:
Oh
Both of Us:
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh,
Why do I put myself in these situations
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh,
I keep pushing myself even though
I can't take it at all
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh,
Why do I put myself in these situations
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh,
I keep pushing myself even though
I can't take it at all
I smiled as the crowd went wild cheering and applauding for us.
"THANK YOU!" I said through the microphone as we went back stage.
"That was the best!" Austin said.
"Sammy, you have to be our lead singer!" Drew suggested.
"Please Sam?" Max pleaded.
I laughed as I just proceeded in walking straight.
"You know I can't do that, you guys!" I said as Wendy appeared holding a bottled water in her hand and gave it to me.
"Come on! You're already graduating!" Drew whined as I laughed.
I thought about it. "Maybe, okay? That's just the answer I'll give you for now."
He sighed and pouted as I turned to look at Wendy.
"That was amazing you guys!" She squealed.
"Yeah, Yeah." I rolled my eyes but grinned.
"Hey Sam, you should really write more songs. That one was really good even though Shane did help you out." Max said as we all laughed.
"Anyway," Shane said as he glared at Max. "You really are a talented singer slash song writer."
"Thanks dude!" I smiled as Wendy grabbed my hand.
"We'll see you guys later. Now, go and play some more before the crowd creates a riot!
Wendy continued to drag me out of the stage and as we were out, I was surrounded by people.
"Sam, when did you start to write?"
"Sam, you're amazing!"
"You are so hot!"
"You know you're a rock star now, right?"
"Will you do another Avril Lavigne song? Sing SMILE!"
"Can you be my girlfriend?"
"Sam that was incredible!"
"Sam!"
"Sam, wait!"
"SAM!"
God! Only a few hours ago I was iCarly's co host and now people are already recognizing me as a rock star? Man, what a night!
"I told you it was a great idea to perform!" Wendy said as she dragged me towards the buffet. Finally, food!
I picked up a plate and loaded it with friend chickens, bacons and hams. I then proceeded to an empty table and ate.
"Wends, I only did it to get even with Shane. That was it." I said as I ate the friend chicken.
"What about the second one, huh?" She asked as she grabbed a piece of bacon off of my plate and ate it.
"Thwat wat foh thow!" I said. I meant to say was that was for show but it sounded like that.
"Even if that was just for show, you still performed didn't you?" She told me. "So, why refuse the suggestion of the band?"
"I thon't wa to." I said, still eating.
Just then, Freddie, Carly and Gibby appeared out of nowhere. Carly grabbed my arm and hugged me.
"Ooh Sam! I'm so proud of you!" Carly cooed.
I laughed as I freed myself from her grip. "Thanks, Carls."
"You we're marvelous! I lost my breath for a sec!" She laughed.
"Did you find it?" I joked.
"Yes, I did." She laughed.
"She was totally good!" Gibby exclaimed.
He then ran to me and shook my hand vigorously. "You are now my second Avril Lavigne!"
I gave him a confused look as he let my hand go. "Okay?"
Carly began talking to Wendy while Gibby ran to the crowd again to listen to Fiasco. They were actually singing my favorite song, Celebrate.
I see you and me
Cruisin down the freeway in my AMG
Top back with my muffler
Screamin look at me
"You did amazing." I heard Freddie said.
I looked up and noticed his perfect brown orbs shinning and it made me want to melt. Yeah, I know. Love made Sam Puckett act like a lovesick nub. But, what the heck.
Lovin and Laughin
This night isn't over
Let's keep on dancin and when
We get older
We could be
"Thanks!" I smiled as he grabbed my hand and lead me to the dance floor.
I wrapped my hands around his neck and he placed hands on my waist. We were swaying to the beat of the music.
Me and you
Doing whatever that's
What we want to do
My hands are on a wheel
baby,
Just keep me close to you
No matter which way we go
I laughed as he twirled me around and go back to our previous position.
Lovin and Laughin
This night isn't over
Let's keep on dancin and when
We get older
We could be
My forehead was directly on his as we were swaying.
"Earlier if someone told me you'd sing tonight, I would laugh at them." He said softly as I chuckled.
"And if someone would have told me that we would be dancing to my favorite song, I would've knocked their heads senseless." I laughed.
He also laughed as we swayed to the beat of the music.
Right now it's goin down
Let me say what we're all about
Dance dance that's your chance
Shake those bands, do that dance
Jump jump move that junk
Shake that sound and make it funk
If you want to jump jump
We'll keep goin til the sun comes up
I broke out of his grip and started jumping up and down and throwing my hands up in the air.
Let's celebrate
And throw our cares away
Let's celebrate
Celebrate
Freddie laughed as he joined in.
(It's never gonna stop
No it's never gonna stop
No it's never gonna stop
No it's never gonna stop}
"Aw, the song ended." I pouted.
Fiasco then proceeded to play a love song. I remembered that song, I just forgot the title. What was it again? Something she does is magic? Ugh! I forgot!
Though I try Before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her
In my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve as I've done
From the start
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life is before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
Oh, now I remember! Every little thing she does is magic! Wait, didn't Wendy mention something about if a love song is going to play, then it means it will be the start of the-
"Ooh, got to go!" I hear Wendy said as she ran towards the stage.
I result to call her up,
A thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me,
In some old fashioned way
But my silent tears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone
"Sam, what's wrong?" I heard Freddie said.
"Oh, it's just that the song playing is a love song." I said.
"Yeah, so?"
"I remembered Wendy said something about a love song playing."
"Oh." He said.
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life is before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
Then it hit me like lightning…
"I'll be back, Freddie!" I said as I ran towards the stage where Wendy disappeared to.
"Wends!" I exclaimed as I saw her going towards the middle of the stage. "Wends!"
"Oh, Sam!" She exclaimed.
"Who won?"
"Not yet. The song isn't over yet."
Every little thing
Yeah he aaaa [x6]
Every little thing
Yeah he aaaa [x6]
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing
As the song ended, I heard the gigantic applause of people who were crowding two people.
I motioned for Will to direct the light to them and he obeyed.
"And I guess the people have chosen!" Wendy said. "The winner for Prom King and Queen is…"
I grabbed the microphone from her while she ran back stage to get the crowns.
"NATE GARNER AND REBECCA BERKOWITZ!" I exclaimed as everyone cheered.
Wendy came down the stage to give them the crowns and the sashes as every senior cheered in glee.
"I can't believe they won!" I heard Shane whispered in my ear as I laughed.
"I know, right?" I laughed. "Who knew they'd be a couple since we were in middle school."
Shane laughed as Wendy guided the newly crowned Prom king and queen on to the stage. I then gave her the microphone back and walked down.
"Now, for the Prom king and queen dance!" Wendy said as she signaled The Fiasco to play.
They started with a slow long intro and the couple started to sway to the music.
I can finally see
That you're right there beside me
I am not my own
For I have been made new
Please don't let me go
I desperately need you
Nate twirled Rebecca as they danced. Even thought it was slightly creepy, it was a little bit cute. Just a little. It's still bizarre to look though.
I am not my own
For I have been made new
Please don't let me go
I desperately need you
The crowd cheered as the song ended and Nate dipped Rebecca.
"And now, for the final song of the night!" Wendy said as the two lovebirds descended down the stage. "Hit it!"
I need a kick drum,
Shane said as Max then gave a beat.
A guitar now,
Then Shane strummed his guitar too with Max's drumming.
And a bass line,
And as if on cue Austin's bass played, with the two instruments playing.
And Imma show you how,
How to rock
How to dance
How to get down,
And all I need is a piano in my track now
And with that, Drew played the keyboard. They were all playing now in tune to Last Forever.
Throw your hands
Throw your hands
Throw your hands
Throw your hands up
(whoa ohoh, whoa ohoh)
Everybody was now jumping up and down, including me of course, with all our hands up in the air swaying to the beat of the music
Cause you can't
Cause you can't
Cause you can't
Cause you can't stop
(whoa ohoh, whoa ohoh)
Can you hear me
(hey) We all shouted as Shane directed his microphone towards the audience.
Do you feel it
(hey)
If you with me (oh)
1-2-3
Cause we're here and we're now and we're all together
So let's make this last forever
Of all the stars are in the skies at night
You got to ask one thing to shine quite as bright
Throw your hands
Throw your hands
Throw your hands
Throw your hands up
(whoa ohoh, whoa ohoh)
Cause you can't
Cause you can't
Cause you can't
Cause you can't stop
(whoa ohoh, whoa ohoh)
Can you hear me
(hey)
Do you feel it
(hey)
If you with me (oh)
1-2-3
Cause we're here and we're now and we're all together
So let's make this last forever
As they finished, all I could think of was:
BEST. PROM. EVER!
Okay, DONE! WOOH! I KNOW YOU LOVE ME! COZ I UPDATED EARLY! ;) HAHAHA! SURPRISE FOR THAT! :D I told some of you that I'll update in a couple of days right? But I was bored and THIS happened. :D This was surely not so easy to write. GOD! NINETEEN PAGES? Okay, THIS IS THE LONGERST CHAPTER EVER! Even Chapter 27 can't compete to THIS! Did you see the Prom Kind and Queen Coming? HAHAHA! I thought it would be a great way to surprise all of you! :) I was thinking of Sam and Freddie, but that would be too obvious! So, I went for the not so obvious… :D Funny, right? Coz I remembered Nate turned down Carly coz Rebecca asked him already. And to think until High School, they're still dating! :O Shocking, right? xD HAHA! The duet was supposed to be High Maintenance but then I saw the error of the song. Coz there was a part that said 'MIRANDA TIME' and its Sam singing, not Miranda so I had to change the song… God, it was soo tiring. Tsk tsk tsk…
