I'M FREE AT LAST! I got out of school Wednesday and now my summer begins! So, to start off the night, I will be posting Chapter 38 for you, my little poopies! I just love each and every one of you for reading this story still because it means a lot to me that you actually like it!

Anyway, I'll stop talking and let you enjoy this short but juicy chapter.

BYE BYE MY POOPIES!

chapter thirty-eight

"I know you don't like me."

I stared at her blankly while trying to cope with what she had said. How did she know? I was trying so hard not to show my emotions when she was around, but she figured it out.

"Uh... wha- what are you talking about?" I chuckled nervously, gripping my mug.

"Just like I said, I know you don't like me. It started when we were at Subway, and you had that angry look on your face when I was with Freddie." She smirked with her left eyebrow raised.

I looked at her trying to figure out why she said it like that and how she's staring at me so coldly. Was I right about her all along? "What?" I whispered.

"What's the matter? When you found out I knew Freddie, you despised me with that look in your eyes, and I knew how much you must care about him." She said viciously, as her tone starts to get lower in disgust. I brought my mug down and set it on the coffee table next to hers, watching her carefully. "Yeah... and I know how much you... love him."

My breath hitched in the back of my throat from her bluntness. How can she say that so beastly? So cruel? Why is she even saying this to me; is it because she loves him, just like I predicted?

I stared at her brown eyes and said, "What?"

"Is that all you can say is "What"?" She growled. I felt my throat dry including my lips as I lick the bottom of them, distracting me from actually feeling scared of her. "Listen, Samantha... I know that you're jealous of me. Because I like Freddie."

She does like him?

I was right...

"You like Freddie...?" I asked quietly, not knowing I was on the verge of tears with a small lump forming in my throat.

"Yeah... who wouldn't? I mean he has pretty brown eyes, he's smart, cute... and he probably has the best abs I've ever seen in my life." She chuckled looking down at the cushions for a spear second.

What? She... she saw his abs?

I shook my head silently as I couldn't deal with the information she's telling me. "You're lying..." I murmured.

"Really? If I was lying, would I lie about the tiny mole he has on the right side of his abdomen?" I furrowed my eyebrows thinking about his body and the location of his abdomen. My mind went to the experiences when Freddie had his shirt off plenty of times. I simply picture through step-by-step where the side of his stomach to the side of his abdomen is, to find out about the little detail.

After a moment of thinking about it, my eyes widen remembering Freddie does have a tiny black mole on the side of his abdomen...

Oh my god... it's true.

I glance at Carly once again to see she has the same smirk on her face while looking relieved. "See? I wouldn't lie about that. And I surely wouldn't lie about how his abs felt... and how toned it was." She said huskily. "I knew he felt horny somehow when we first met because of the instant connection between us. I never thought how naive you are, considering the fact that he would actually like you. Or so he said loves you. I mean come on, Freddie can have anyone he wants, and he wants you? I can have him whenever I want and there's nothing you can do about it, is there? No..." she stared at me with a scowl look on her face.

I watch her in horror as she said this to me. She actually likes Freddie; I can't believe I was so stupid to think this girl was alright. Yet she's insane! She's telling me that Freddie would never love me in a way from how he confessed his love to me.

But then something hit me.

Since I pushed Freddie away, is he going to go to Carly now? Because I didn't tell him my feelings about what he said to me and I blew that by pushing him away like he's trash. Now I'm finding out about Carly touching Freddie...

The feeling I had for her is back as I feel my jaw tensed and my eyes narrowed at her direction. Thinking about her hands touching his body makes me want to punch this bitch in the face.

The tears went back in my eyes and my lip is twitching slowly feeling myself boiling with rage, staring at her. Carly brings a smile ear-to-ear while opening her mouth to continue her statement. "And besides, he would want to come after me since I know how to make him happy." She smiled.

In an instant, I felt my hand go up and slapped her cheek with a loud smack sound with it.

Her head turns forcefully with a gasp escaping her lips.

"Make him happy? Make him happy?" I snapped feeling my body boil. "Listen, you don't know what would make him happy! And I damn well know that you're not going to take him away from me because I won't let you." I turn my full attention to her and just spoke the jumbled words that were in my head.

"You have nooo idea what you're getting into because if you ever touch Freddie anywhere, I will beat your ass and slap you silly to make you realize that he doesn't belong to you! You don't even know him as I do, we've been friends since our whole lives, and he is an amazing guy so you guys wouldn't fit!" I spat. "And one more thing to put the icing on the cake, you don't love him because you've only known him for a short period of time."

"Freddie is mine, and he will always be mine because I'm in love with him!"
