Chapter 3: Freddy
I hate lunch detention! I want to go eat lunch with my friends. Especially Katie. Whoa! Where did that come from! I must be going nuts. Maybe it's from not eating. YES! The bell just rang!
Freddy walked out of detention starving. Summer passed him on the way to her next class.
"Here, I thought you might be hungry," she said as she gave him a small bag of chips.
"Uh, thanks?" he replied while walking to his next class. He opened the bag of chips and began to eat them.
What's her problem? Miss Perfect suddenly cares about the welfare of poor little me.
Freddy somehow got through the rest of the day without passing out from hunger (even though he ate the chips, he was still hungry). After school, the entire band walked to Dewey's together (even Zack because it was only down the street). Since they had changed in the bathrooms at school, they were a sight to see. 15 of them (Summer had a student council meeting so she couldn't make it) all walking together, most of them with outfits that had a rock band name on it and all with the same Horace Green High School backpack. By the time they got to Dewey's, Freddy could tell something was up with Katie.
"What's up Katie? You look like something's wrong," Freddy asked, immediately concerned.
"It's nothing, I just forgot my sneakers at home, and I'm stuck wearing these heels. They don't hurt or anything, they're just annoying," Katie answered.
"Oh," Freddy said before Dewey interrupted him.
"Rock and roll positions everyone!" Dewey exclaimed.
Freddy took his place behind the drums as Katie picked up her bass. As they practiced, Freddy couldn't help thinking about how Katie looked while she was playing her bass. About an hour later, it was time to go home.
"See ya later Zack!" Freddy said to one of his best friends. Zack's dad drove him home from Dewey's even though everyone else in the band walked home. Sometimes Freddy thought that Zack's dad drove him because he thought Zack wasn't safe walking with Freddy, not that he wasn't safe walking at all.
As Zack and his dad drove off, Katie and Freddy started walking home together as they usually did. Katie had left her bass at Dewey's so she wouldn't have to carry it, so she had a lighter load than usual. They were about five minutes away from their houses when Katie screamed.
"Ow! Crap! I can't believe this!" Katie screamed.
"What's wrong?" Freddy immediately reacted.
"I twisted my ankle because the heel on my shoe broke!" Katie replied.
"You shoe broke! Can that happen? Wait! I have an idea!" Freddy exclaimed.
"Wow, that's weird."
"Shut up, don't you want to hear it?"
"I guess so."
"You can hop on my back!"
"You're serious."
"Yes! Just put your shoes in your backpack, and I'll carry you home. It's not too far from here, and I'm strong. I can carry you."
"Wow, you're so modest. Wait, you actually want me to get on your back?" Katie asked laughing hysterically.
"Unless you want to walk home in one shoe and a twisted ankle."
"Oh fine." Katie said as she hopped on Freddy's back.
"Imagine how we must look. Two 10th graders in AC/DC shirts giving each other piggyback rides!" Freddy said laughing. He had to stop, he was laughing so hard. Eventually, they both stopped laughing and kept going.
This is gonna be fun.
They finally got home and Freddy ran right past their houses.
"Freddy Jones, go back to our houses!" Katie screamed in his ear.
"I don't want to!" Freddy answered.
"Then let me off your back!" Katie pleaded
"I don't think so!" Freddy laughed
"Come on!" Katie said while tightening her grip around his neck.
"Stop! You're choking me!"
"I know. Bring me back!"
"Fine."
He brought Katie back and up to her front steps.
"Well, thanks for bringing me home, even if I had to choke you for you to actually bring to my house," Katie said.
"Your very welcome!" Freddy replied. "Ummm... hey maybe you can come over later! I have some more hair dye. We can have some fun with it!"
"Okay, I'll get my sneakers and be right over!" Katie answered.
"I'll leave the front door open. I'll be in my room," Freddy said.
"Okay," Katie answered. "See ya in five minutes!"
"See ya!"
And Freddy ran back to his house as Katie went inside hers.
What am I feeling? Is this... love? I've had tons of girlfriends, but I've never felt this. No, I don't love Katie. Then why am I so happy? I do love Katie! Crap! Why does all the confusing stuff always happen to me? I love Katie! I LOVE KATIE!
"I love Katie!" he yelled before he stepped inside his house.
Did I just say that out loud? Oh well. Who cares?
But little did they know; Zack cared. And he was looking out his window and saw (and heard) everything.
Well... was this one better. It went a little fast (I think), but it doesn't end there. It gets better... and even more tense. Please review! Next chapter: Zack.
