Chapter 4½

Amber walked into the kitchen as Freddy followed.

"You know Zack's phone number right?" Amber asked.

"Uh, yeah," Freddy responded in a very sarcastic tone. "He's my best friend!"

"Yeah and I have Summer's number. You call Zack while I find something to make for lunch!" Amber shouted from the garage. (Her 2nd freezer is out there.) "Hot dogs or frozen pizza?" Amber inquired.

"How could you even ask that?"

"Whaddya want for lunch, Jones?"

"Pizza," Freddy sighed as he dialed in Zack's number.

Amber grabbed the pizza and headed into the house. She preset the oven to 400 degrees and opened the box.

"Zack's heading over and he's bringing Summer," Freddy said after he hung up the phone.

"That's cool...one less phone call on the bill," Amber chuckled.

She slipped the pizza in the oven and followed Freddy up stairs and into the guest bedroom, the room where the PS2 and computer were held. There wasn't a bed in there. Amber's family just called it that.

"Here I'll put in the DVD so like we can just start the movie when they get here," Freddy offered.

"Thanks."

The doorbell rang. Amber rushed down the stairs. She opened the door to see Zack and Summer hand in hand.

"Hi guys," Amber greeted.

"Hi Amber," they greeted in unison.

"Freddy's already upstairs. I have to go check on the pizza but you're welcome to head upstairs if you want," Amber informed.

"Yeah, I think I'll head upstairs."

"I'll meet you up there," Summer told Zack, "I'm going to help Amber with the pizza."

Summer and Amber walked into the kitchen.

"You know he likes you," Summer said as she propped herself up onto the counter.

"Huh?"

"Freddy. Zack told me that Freddy told him that he liked you."

Amber just sat there. Her moth in a perfect 'O.' Summer sniggered.

"I'm...I'm just going to get the pizza out of ov...oven," Amber stuttered.

"Do you like him back?"

"OW!!!!!!!!!! I FUCKING BURNT MYSELF!!!!!!! OW!!!!!!!!!!!!! CRAP!!!!!!" Amber shouted.

She heard footsteps bounding down the stairs.

"Amber are you okay!?" Freddy asked concernedly.

Summer just sat there and with in seconds she was laughing uncontrollably.

"Yeah I'm fine," Amber said as she ran her hand under some cold water, "You guys just go upstairs and start the movie, I'll be up in a couple of minutes. We have to eat down here and the pizza is still really hot so we'll have to wait a few minutes."

"Okay," Freddy and Zack said at the same time. Summer was still laughing.

"And you," Amber said as she pointed to Summer, "You need to shut your mouth," she warned. Summer laughed even harder.

"Sum, if you laugh any harder you'll die of suffocation," Zack advised.

They 3 headed upstairs and Amber just stood there mumbling to herself.

"I like him," she muttered. "I really, really like him."

Ten Minutes Later

"HEY GUYS THE PIZZA IS READY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Amber shouted.

From upstairs she could hear the loud footsteps of Zack, Freddy, and Summer.

When they got downstairs Amber told them she'd be right back. She ran upstairs and grabbed her lap top and brought it downstairs.

"Um...I'm going to go on the internet while we eat if that's cool with you guys."

She was pretty sure she had heard yeah, sure, and whatever come out of the 3 teens mouths, which were full of pizza. She decided to update her internet journal. She began to type.

I have Summer, Zack and Freddy over my house right now. We're having lunch and watching a movie. It's cool except for the act that my hand hurts like hell. Summer distracted me while I was taking the pizza out of the oven. She told me Freddy liked me. I was in shock. I decided to take the pizza out and while doing this she asked me if I liked him. I must have either touched something but I lost track of what I was doing and burnt myself. I have to tend to my guests now for Freddy just finished up the last of the pizza. The band always said he could eat. LOL!

aMbEr

P.S.-I like Freddy back. Blushes

Amber logged out and stood up. She walked over to where the teenagers sat and picked up the pizza tray.

"You guys can really eat," Amber laughed.

"Yeah," Freddy responded with his mouth still full of pizza.

Amber shook her head and began to wash the tray. She didn't know why she was taking care of everyone. That was just how she was. She didn't turn around but she heard footsteps going up the stairs. She assumed that her pals had headed up to watch the movie. Little did she know one of them stayed down to talk to her. She began to scrub away at the cheese that had burnt itself on to the tray.

As she was scrubbing a pair of arms wrapped themselves around her waist. She almost jumped out of her skin when she felt it. Amber whipped around to see herself staring into the most mesmerizing deep brown eyes she had ever seen. She shook herself out of the trance and focused on the boy still holding her.

"Amber, I have to ask you something," Freddy informed her.

"Yes," she answered as she got caught in his eyes again.

"Will you go out with me sometime?"

"Yeah, I'd love to," Amber said with a large grin on her face.

"Hey, I want to know if Dickey get the part!" Freddy said as he pulled Amber up the stairs.

"Dude! I know he gets the part!" Amber shouted.

"WELL THANKS!!!! You just ruined the ending for me!!!"

"Trust me I didn't!" Amber laughed.
