The Spring Fling
(ACTING OUT BY ASHLEY TISDALE AND I GOTTA FEELING BY THE BLACK EYED PEAS)
Carly's POV
"When? Friday night at 7:30. What? The spring fling. Where? The school gym." Sam read off of a flier i gave her.
"Yeah. Sounds like fun right?" I asked.
"No."
"Oh come on. I helped come up with the idea to have one this year. There's going to be karaoke, Guitar Hero, dancing, a contest to win a pear computer, and free ham!"
Both Freddie's and Sam's heads shot up as I said computer and ham.
I smiled.
"So, you guys will come right?" I asked.
"Sure." Freddie said.
"Do I have to ware a dress?" Sam asked.
"Yes."
"I'm not going."
"But there's cute boys, fat cakes, free ham, karaoke, Guitar Hero, and a chance that you could win a computer!"
"Then bring me back some ham."
"Saaaaaammmm!" I whined, making my puppy face.
She tried to look away, but too late. She saw my face and her armor cracked.
"Fine, but that ham better taste good." She said.
I clapped my hands and jumped up and down.
"Cool. Then after school we can go shopping!"
She groaned.
"Freddie, dress nice, okay?"
"Yeah, yeah." He said.
I smiled really big.
Mel's and my plan was working, so far.
Sam's POV
"Too, too, too pink." I said trying on a pink spaghetti strap dress.
I had tryied on 21 dresses so far! 21! They all were too fluffy, furry, ruffled, girly, see through, silky, tight, loose or pink.
"Carly, we'll never find a dress for me. I don't look good in any of these."
"Hmmmmmm." Was all she said while she disappeared around the corner following a lady pushing a cart.
Carly had already picked out her dress so she was helping me pick out mine.
"Here try this one one." She said running towards me.
"Well? How does it look?"
"Whoa! You definitely need to get that one!"
After I changed we went to the men's section of the store to find Freddie. He was standing in line holding his cloths for the dance in a bag.
"Finally you guys are here. I've been waiting for an hour!"
"Stop whining and just pay for our stuff." Said Sam.
"Why should I?" He asked.
"Because it's poliete and gentlemen like."
"So in other words, you forgot your wallet."
I glared at him and Carly started laughing.
After we bought our stuff we headed to Groovie Smoothies.
"You wanna by a donut? It's on a stick."
"No Tibo." I said.
"But it's on a stick."
"She said no Tibo." Freddie said sternly.
"Are you sure?"
"No Tibo!" I growled.
"How rude." He said walking away, flipping his dreadlocks behind his head.
"He is so annyoing." Carly said after he was gone.
"If these smoothies weren't so good I would never come here." Freddie stated.
"So Carly who are you going to the dance with?" I asked.
"Shane." She replied dreamily.
"How about you Fredward."
"Must you call me names?"
"Yes. Now who are you going with?"
"I don't know. Who are you going with?"
"No one, unless someone will ask me." I said.
"But I thought Pete asked you." Said Carly.
"Yeah, but I don't like him anymore."
"Oh." Said Freddie in a happy tone.
I stared at him, hoping he would get the idea t ask me. After a long pause I tried a move that always worked for Carly. I batted my eyelashes a few times and "accidentally" knocked my drink off the table.
"Oops!" I said.
Freddie quickly stood up and said "Let me get you a new one."
While he hurried off I turned toward Carly.
"That move really does work when you want a guy to go away, but anyway I need to tell you something."
My eyes got really big and I looked really excited like I waited all day to tell her this, when actually I've waited all week to tell her this.
"Yeah?"
"Um...I..I mean...You have something in your teeth."
"Oh."
The truth is that's not what I wanted to tell Carly. I wanted to ask her how to get a guy to ask me to the dance, but then she'd have to know who I liked. I still didn't know if I should tell Carly about my feelings for Freddie. If I told Carly all of Seattle would know I liked Freddie. Carly has one of the biggest mouths ever.
Carly's POV
I really thought Sam would tell me that she likes Freddie, but instead she informed me that I had something in my teeth. She could of told me that in front of Freddie, so I think she was going to tell me something important but chicken out. Not that knowing that you have something in your teeth isn't important. I just thought a new development between her and Freddie would happen. Oh well, the plan is still on, and if this plan doesn't work then I don't know what will.
Freddie's POV
I wanted to ask Sam to the dance so bad but I always lose my nerve as soon as I see her. It doesn't help that Carly's all "Be a man" and Melanie's all "You need to tell her your true feelings because the guy should always make the first move" bla, bla, bla, bla.
So when I finally got the nerve to ask her, well it went down like this:
Hi Sam. Lovely weather were having."
"It's raining."
"Yeah, so, um, I like what you've done with your hair."
She looked at me funny and said "I'm warring a hat."
"Uh, I see your busy beating up Gibby up so I'll just go."
Then I ran off.
So as you can see I'm not so good with the whole asking girls out thing.
Sorry for the crappy ending, but I couldn't think how to end it better. Anyway you know the drill, comment/review!
