I yawned and stretched my arms as I woke up. I blinked a couple times, still tired. Then, the wondrous smell of meat came to me and I immediately woke up. I pulled the blanket off me in a rush and hurried to the kitchen.
Spencer and Carly were already chomping on bacon and sausage. I eagerly grabbed a bunch of them and piled them onto a plate. I sat next to Carls, shoving the delicious meat in my hungry mouth.
"Good morning to you too." Spencer said sarcastically. Carly laughed and said, "Did you look outside?"
"Why would I look outside while there's bacon in here?" I asked. Did she not know me?
"Look!" she urged. I craned my neck to see out the window.
"I don't see anything." I said, grabbing another sausage. Carly took it from me.
"Look!" she repeated. I reluctantly left my food and went to the window. It was snowing! It was beautiful; the city glistened in the white splendor. I watched as snowflakes fell from the sky and onto the ground. It was very blissful and heavenly. Then I remembered my plate of meat, and I sprinted back to the table.
"Well?" Carly said.
"Sweet. Now give me my bacon." I said. She rolled her eyes and handed me the plate. I heard the door open and looked to see--Freddie. He was dressed in a really big red sweater with a reindeer sewn into it. I laughed at him.
"Nice sweater, Fredwardo." I mocked. Instead of rolling his eyes or sighing at me, he just grinned.
"Nice try, Sam, but nothing you could say or do could bug me today!" he said, raising his arms cheerfully.
"Oh yeah?" I said, testing his cheery attitude, "What if I gave you an atomic wedgie?" I smirked at him but his grin just got wider.
"Then I'd just fix it." he said plainly. That smile was starting to irritate me. I hated perky people.
"Oh, stop it guys." Carly said, "Why don't we head to the park and enjoy the weather?"
"Good idea!" Freddie said, clapping joyfully.
"Yeah!" Spencer yelled, "I'll go get my toboggan and we're off!" He ran into his bedroom (who keeps a toboggan in their bedroom?) and came back not a second later, dressed fully in a coat, gloves, hat, boots, and snow pants. Carly and I ran up to her room to get our own winter clothes.
"This'll be perfect!" Melanie cried as I tugged my boots on, "Freddie's super happy! All you have to do is be nice and everything will work out flawlessly!" I rolled my eyes. I didn't want to worry making it a date with Freddie. I just wanted to have some fun. Oh well.
We walked down the steps to see the guys ready to go. We followed them, the four of us running and whooping for snow.
The park was so crowded! It was like the entire city of Seattle chose that park to play at. We eventually found a hill with no one else on it. The four of us kept taking turns on Spencer's sled. I threw a few snowballs at Fredweird, just to get him mad, but he'd just smile and throw one playfully at me. And, instead of killing him, I'd just laugh it off. I have to admit, it felt kind of…nice.
"Hey we're gonna go get some hot chocolate." Spencer said as he and Carly walked away from the hill and us.
"Don't kill Freddie, Sam!" Carly said, winking at me. Freddie sat on the sled and patted the seat behind him for me. I sat behind him, feeling very happy. Melanie gave me a look that said "Do something flirty!" I rolled my eyes at her and placed my arms around his waist. Wait, was that a flirty move? Nah, I had to hang onto him unless I wanted to go flying off the sled. He turned his head and grinned at me, and then pushed off.
I felt the wind rush through my hair. It was a good feeling, even if it was cold air. The two of us yelled like we were on a rollercoaster. It was so enjoyable. Freddie steered in zigzags constantly until he ended up flipping the sled over and landing us face first into the snow. We laughed uproariously and rolled over the ground, holding our stomachs.
"What a ride!" I yelled.
"Yeah!" Freddie replied. I rubbed some snow away from my face and turned to him. He was grinning still, looking happier than he had ever been. I realized our hands were touching the entire time after we crashed. I felt a tingle go through mine, like an electric shock. Freddie entwined his fingers through mine. It was a surprising move but I just gripped his hand tight.
He moved closer to me and our legs touched. Another shock. I stared into his chocolate-brown eyes, seeing my reflection in them. I kept staring intently at them until I felt something brush my lips.
Freddie was kissing me.
It was a cold kiss, since we were both frozen from snow in our faces, but it warmed me up in a way. I closed my eyes and just enjoyed the moment. When he pulled away his grin wasn't toothy anymore, but just a half-smile.
I looked up for a second to see Melanie giving me a thumbs-up. I smiled.
"I wanted to do that since Carly's party." Freddie whispered, making me look back at him.
"Kiss me?" I asked, though it was obvious.
"Yeah." he said quietly, "Sam…I think I've fallen for you."
Holy chiz on a chizel.
One of my favorite Sam lines! Okay, I think I'll start updating more often; just review!
