Chapter Four

The Seattle Betrayal

Kissed her. The screams turned into Oh My God's when I kissed Sam. Not just because of me doing the tongue with Sam, because Gibby was kissing Carly.

Gibby

I made my move. I kissed Carly on the lips. Really. I had it in my brain in for a while, but it was happening. Right here, right now. She didn't kiss back. Her eyes were wide (and I mean WIDE) open. But after a minute of me kissing that vanilla chapsticked Carly, I let go. And that was followed by a hard slap in the face by Carly and her screaming "What the HELL?"

Freddie stopped kissing Sam and they both looked at us. Everyone was looking at us. Even Nora muttered 'weird'. "Orenthal Cornellus Gibson! What the HELL are YOU DOING?"

"You guys are on a date?" I said, trying to play dumb.

"Soosh yeah!" Carly said looking and directing her anger to Freddie and Sam, Freddie putting a dumb smile on his face.

"Sorry?" Freddie said sarcastically.

"Now it not the time to be messing around! You knew I was gonna kiss her and you sabotaged it! I'm you're best friend! How could you! I don't care if you saved my life or not, but now I'm gonna make sure BOTH of your live is a living HELL!"

Carly marched out, but before turning into the hall, she said clear as day, "I'm gonna destroy you Benson."

Freddie

The movie continued on, being the part where no one gets killed for a while. Holy chiz. I just basically set myself up for the worst life ever.

Okay. Maybe doing what I did didn't work out how I planned. Sure, I just kicked my own butt, made Carly wanna kill me, got to kiss Sam again, and let Gibby get his chance to kiss Carly, but all of that wasn't good. I had to go apologize. So, I got up, Sam having the same idea as me, and went to find Carly. She was in the girl's bathroom, in a stall, crying her eyes out. I let Sam talk first, Carly not wanting to hear my voice first.

"Carls." Sam said softly, "Look, it wasn't cool that Freddie kissed me instead of me kissing you, but you have to understand why he did it."

"I don't give a crap! He's a complete... ugh!" Carly said, which made me lose it.

"Listen Carly! I saved you from public humiliation worse than what's happened. Yeah, you're into Sam, but come on. No guy's gonna date you if they know you kissed a girl. So I saved you. And anyway, why all of a sudden so you like Sam after..."

I paused for a moment. They knew what I was talking about. Sam banged on the door, soon opening, Carly letting her in. I heard their conversation clearly. "Sam, you have one more chance. Either kiss me now or sacrifice your good life for what I have planned."

Sam

I looked Carly dead on. She was serious. But if she wanted to kiss me that bad, why don't she do it herself? I mean, come on, she was gonna do it before. "Carly... I..."

"I don't care if it's a second. Just do it." She said and closed her eyes, waiting for me to kiss her. After a minute of silence, she opened her eyes. "You didn't."

"Carly, I'm not going to. Maybe someone else will, but not me." I said, swallowing my pride. But sooner than I knew it, Freddie opened the door and I turned to him. "I'm in love with Freddie."

Carly froze, then looked at me one more time. "Fine. I tried to help you. I don't deserve you anyway." She said and then walked out.

Now there were two. We stood there and the silence lingered. I finally felt the need to speak. "So."

"So." Freddie said having no idea what to say. But then he knew what to do. He kissed me on the lips, his minty-ish and popcorn breath lingering into my nose. We kept kissing, let go, and continued. We may as well kiss while Carly's not around to make our lives the worst. As we kissed, a thought haunted me. What was she going to do? But that thought went away when Freddie reached his arm back to close and lock the stall. Now my tongue was messing with his, and it felt so good to be kissing Freddie Benson again.
