You believe that life is full of misery
Nothing more than bits of history
Lonely people marching down the street
Till the day is done
Or do you think that you could live a fairy tale
laugh at all of those who say you'd fail
day by day you'll do the things you love
things they'll never do
Even when they tell us were not old
What do they know in this cruel world
You're the only one that matters to me
I like Freddie Benson.
I, Samantha Puckett, like, like Fredward Nathaniel Benson.
I kissed him.
Twice.
Freddie Benson.
And ME!
I should be in shock.
Carly was when I told her. Then she started Happy Dancing. I was glad. I mean I didn't know how she was going to take it and then she ended up being happy for me - I mean for us - and it was just nice.
I like Freddie Benson.
He makes me feel warm and soft on the inside.
I tried to fight the feeling.
I couldn't Imagine that he would even remotely like me back.
But he does.
Freddie Benson Likes me.
He kissed me back.
Twice.
He asked me out.
Like on a date.
Like what you do when you like someone.
I said yes.
I agreed to go on a date with Freddie Benson.
I'm going on a date with Freddie Benson.
I'm going on a date with Freddie Benson tonight.
OH MY GOD! I'm going on a date with Freddie Benson in 2 hours!
I start rushing around my room. Digging through drawers and rustling through my closet. Everything I own is the same sort of thing that I wear everyday. What am I going to wear? I don't have anything to wear!
I plop down in the middle of my room.
Maybe this isn't worth it. I mean Listen to me! I'm sitting here on the floor upset because I don't have anything to wear. What kind of Prep am I turning into? Across the room one of the piles of clothes that had somehow started to accumulate started to buzz. I tilted my head sideways and stared at it, too tired to move. By now I remembered that in frustration I had throw my phone on the floor last night when I was trying to weasel out of Freddie what we were doing tonight. Oh Well. Whoever it is will leave a message. I lay down, defeated.
Bzzt. Bzzt. Bzzt. Stupid phone. I flopped over and dug out the dumb thing. I flipped it open and yelled into the phone
"What!!!"
"Sam!" Carly's voice yelled back at me. "What's wrong?"
"Uhrg. Its not worth it." I said laying back down.
Carly sounded mad now. "Samantha Puckett. Get your sorry butt off the floor right now."
"Its pointless. I don't have anything to wear. And am I even the kind of girl who cares about that? NO! I think not. I can't believe that I thought that I should go out with Freddie. I'm not doing this Carly."
"LISTEN UP! You like Freddie and Freddie likes you. Right now you're scared. Do you want everyone to know that you're a coward?"
"Nooo" I said weakly.
"Then get out that blue shirt. You know the one that we got in that new store with the cute guy."
I sat up. "He was totally not cute."
"If you don't get over here in 15 minutes I'm coming in after you."
"I'm coming, I'm coming. Gee, pushy much?"
I couldn't help but smile though as I went over to the closet and pulled out the exact right top. I grabbed a Low Fat Fat Cake on my way out the door, and started running toBushwell Plaza.
10 minutes later I was being ushered into the apartment and Carly started buzzing around me like a crazy buzzing bee.
"Back, Back" I said swatting at her.
"O Sam I'm so proud of you!" Are those tears in her eyes? Great.
"Carls. I'm glad that your happy for me, but I still don't think that I should do this."
"Don't be stupid. You know you want to!" She started looking at me with puppy dog eyes. She knows I can't resist those eyes.
"My hair looks like a bush." Ok so it was a long shot but it was the only excuse I could think of on short notice.
"Well then Come On! By the time I'm finished with you, you're going to look amazing!"
"Wonderful."
She fluttered around me and moved me around. I felt like a Barbie doll. It was nice though, don't get me wrong. She put some goop in my hair that mad it not frizzy and she made me wash my face with this tingly stuff and then she started to brush stuff on it. I usually don't do that much for my self. Spencer popped in from time to time just to tell me how Awsome I was looking. This was kinda fun. I should have done this a long time ago.
But eventually time started to draw to a close. My stomach started to jump. Maybe that Fat Cake was expired. Carly led me to the couch and sat me down, with strict instructions not to mess up her handiwork before disappearing upstairs. I really intended to stay all tidy like. But what can I say, By the time that Freddie rang the doorbell, I sprawled out on the couch, counting cracks in the ceiling. There are 22. But I regress. I stood up, tried to smooth out the wrinkles that had accumulated in my jeans.
Breathe in. Breathe out. Ok. One foot in front of the other. Selfconciusely I smooth down my hair. This is Ridicules! I run over to the door and jerk it over. And I look at him standing there, with a quizzical expression on his face. He has a flower. Just one. And I smile and laugh because I know that its all going to be ok.
Even when they tell us were too young
Well what have we done to upset them
Young love it looks like its just you and me
Do they hold your hand and tell you that your wrong?
Do they say your man has wandered on
Not enough its time to move along
time to quit your game
Or do they wish that you had been somebody else
played the cards that someone else had dealt
Lived your life on someone else's shelf
Waiting for today
Even when they tell us were not old
What do they know in this cruel world
You're the only one that matters to me
Even when they tell us were too young
Well what have we done to upset them
Young love it looks like its just you and me
Life's already hard why make it more difficult
And everyone is dying to know
Why do you do what you do
Because it makes youre life so unpredictable
Everyday so irresistible
You don't care what other people say
Young love your the one
AN: So here it is. As I said before the Song is Young Love by Dizzy Balloon. I would love to hear what you think or any suggestions of songs that you think would be appropriate. The Next Chapters song is going to be It's the End of the World as We Know it by REM.
