i'M SCREWED Chapter 2...
"Hey Sam, Hey Freddie!" Carly called as we walked to our lockers
"Hey" we said in unison.
"So...What happened yesterday? Sam had a weird mood swing then you guys bolted to Freddie's house."
Me and Freddie exchange glances, and have a silent conversation
'Should we tell her?'
'We have to Sam!'
'Ok, so are you going to do it or shall I?'
'You'
We both turn to Carly who was standing there waiting.
"I'm pregnant."
"Whoa! Really? When? Where? What are you guys going to do?"
I looked up at Freddie 'What are we going to do?' .He met my gaze and said.
"I got this one, Ok to answer your questions Carly, Yes Sam really is pregnant,ummm...when... about a week and two days ago,where...Wendy's party,and we are not sure yet." Freddie looks down at me as he concludes I look at him and then at Cary and nod.
"Oh My God! I'm gonna be an aunt! Or a godmother!"
"Don't get too excited, we don't even know if we are keeping the baby." Sam said patting Carly's hand.
"O-Okay"
"Well don't just stand there Carly Shay! Congratulate us!"
"Oh My God! Congrats! You guys might be getting a family sooner than you think..."
Freddie looked down at me as if he was unsure.
"Everything will be ok. OK?" I whispered in his ear while Carly sorted through her things.
"OK...Sam." He didn't sound too sure. I grabbed his hand and looked around for a room where we could be alone...Ah yes the janitor's closet how cliché of me. We entered the Janitors closet (Which smelled like Fritos and socks) I looked at Freddie.
"What is WRONG with you,Benson?" he avoids my gaze.
"Nothing..."
"Do NOT start that with me. We have come so far in our relationship in the past day than we have in... the whole time we've been together! And you are NOT going to start telling me lies."
Finally he met my stare.
"Look, I'm sorry,Sam. I have not been a great boyfriend the past few minutes."
"No crap, Sherlock." I looked at him trying to meet his again diverted gaze. "Freddie I need you now more than ever. So you need to tell me whats wrong!"
Freddie looked at me.
"I-I don't know Sam...I just feel so confused about everything..."
"You think I don't? I have to carry a living, breathing person inside me. That I didn't even want! I am confused as to why this happened to me...and you...I am confused about so many things...but not about you,Freddie... Look babe, I wanna be with you but I can't do this if you just aren't ready. You HAVE to be ready. I'm willing to do this pregnancy thing on my own but it would help if you could be there for support,Freddie,I NEED you."
Freddie looked at me.
"I would never leave you. I am ready."
"Ok" I nod and then I add:
"And quit being such an ass. You're getting on my nerves a little."
"Okay." Freddie nodded "I understand."
"Alright now lets go..." I reach and grab the doorknob but let go and turn around and look at Freddie.
"Sam? Lets get out of this closet. It smells like toe jam and chips in here."
I stare at him How do I snag such a WONDERFUL guy? And then I leaned in and kissed him.
"What was that for?"
"It was for being there, Freddie Benson." I smiled.
"Well thank you for being there Sam Puckett."
"Where else would I be?" I laughed
"Haha...lets get out of here we are already late." He opens the door and to our amazement the whole senior class was staring back at us. Including the Principal.
"Oh-"
"No" Freddie finishes my statement.
"Freddie Benson and Samantha Puckett please come to the Principal's Office." Our Principal said turning and walking out of the middle of the crowd.
After he had walked away, everyone threw questions and zingers at us.
"OMG Are you really pregnant?"
"I never took you for easy"
"What's it feel like?"
"Was it fun?"
"So you ARE a slut, I knew it"
"When did it happen?"...
And then I lost it I screamed at the top of my lungs and ran through the crowd. Freddie watched me run away
"Thanks a lot! You guys really helped! You are all such asses!" Freddie said sarcastically before he ran after me. The crowd looked back at him with regret and remorse. Freddie found me in the Principals office,crying.
"Sam!" he exclaimed as he walked into the office and sat down next to me. "Are you ok?"
"Yea. I'm good. Thanks." She blankly stared at Principal Franklin.
"Hello Freddie, I was wondering where you'd gone." Principal Franklin said.
"Well, I was actually looking for Sam but...whatever."
"Okay lets get down to business. Samantha you are pregnant, correct?"
"Yessir."
"Okay then it is required of the Seattle Public School Administration to give you Financial and Medical Aid."
"Really!" Freddie said shocked "That's awesome!"
"But you both HAVE to keep up a C average until graduation in 10 months to qualify. Got it?"
"Got it!" We said in unison.
"I am very disappointed in you both. I didn't think either of you would be in a situation like this."
Principal Franklin looked as if he was about to cry. I looked at Freddie.
'I'm Sorry Sam.'
'We are both guilty...'
"You may go." He says motioning towards the very familiar door., we both got up and walked out. But he stopped us " And remember:" he said "No more telling secrets in closets...especially not that one...it smells like a foot and a bag of old stale chips got married and had kids in there...ick. " he shuddered.
We laughed and walked down the stairs to our lockers, and surprisingly the crowd was still standing there,but not by their own will. Carly was giving them quite the scolding, it went a little like this:
"I cannot believe you guys! We are classmates we HAVE to support each other!"
"It's not our fault, Sam 'Mama' Puckett got knocked up!" That hurt... a lot.
"And what? You think that justifies your actions? They deserve respect."
"Ugh!" Someone said, Carly turned to thr person and stepped directly in her face.
"Do you have a hairball Macy? I mean that's where all your leg hair must go!" Everyone laughed. Macy stood there and turned red.
"Sorry" she said under her breath.
"Excuse me? I couldn't hear you well enough Cat Woman." Carly snarked...Wow she's learned a lot from me...
"I said sorry!"
"Now you didn't like that did you Macy? Being called names and embarrassed in front of the whole senior class. You didn't like it did you? Well Sam didn't like it when you all called her a slut.. and easy!"
Macy just shook her head
"Now does any one else want to say something about my friend?"
"No Carly"
"Sorry Carly"
"No"
"I apologize"
"Sorry"
"Oh-No Don't apologize to me. Apologize to Sam" Carly motioned me and Freddie from the wall we had been hiding behind.
"Sorry Sam..." they all said with lowered heads.
"And what about Freddie?"
"Sorry Freddie..."
"Good! Now go to class! As your Valedictorian and class president I can't have you guys slacking. Move it! Get out of my face right now! Thank you very much!" The crowd walked to the stairs and went to class in a single file line.
"Whoa Carls! When did you become warden?"
"Since those dweebs started disrespecting my friends." Carly and Freddie surrounded me with a group hug.
"Ok...Ok, Those dweebs aren't the only people that have to get to class!"
"Alright" Freddie said grabbing my hand.
"Well then! Lettuce go!"(AN:I mean lettuce.)
AT CARLY'S APARTMENT...
" Alright so what are you guys going to do?" Carly said as she walked to the fridge and got a soda.
"I don't know..."I say holding my stomach.
"Well...I have an idea...if you guys wanna hear it just say when..."
Freddie looked at me and groaned a little.
"We do need help Freddifuffles"
"Alright lets hear it!" Freddie said and claps his hands turning to Carly who is now leaning on the computer desk.
"Okay" She puts down her drink "I think that because Sam you don't want to go to college right now, you should let Freddie get a degree. Then you can go to college and you'll both have jobs to support the family IF you keep the child..." Carly said
"That sounds really thought out Carly. I like your plan!" Freddie exclaimed and turned to me "How do you feel about Carly's plan?"
"I think it's a great idea..." I say blankly
"O-ok"
"Freddie? Carly? Don't I need to schedule a Doctor's Appointment? I need an ultrahear...or somethin' right?"
"Sam's right, Freddie. She does need to have some doctor's appointments and ultrasounds. How will you guys pay ?"
"The school will. As long as we both keep up C- average" Freddie said look at me as I stared at my tummy. (AN:Not C minus just a C)
"I am going to be huge!...Wow I will be a mom..." I said as I rubbed my stomach.
"Mhhm... Are you guys...going to keep the kid?"
"I don't know. Sam, are we?"
"Yes,we are. It will be hard but I'm willing to do it."
"Me too..." Freddie added.
"Okay, I'll call Colombia St. Jacob's so I can schedule an appointment." Carly said taking her phone from her back pocket and started dialing. When Carly went into the kitchen Freddie scooted closer to me.
"You are so brave for doing this Sam..."
"I'm going to be a mom..." I repeated
"And I'm going to be a...a daddy."
"It's amazing, how easy it was to ruin my life..."
"I know...I know" He put his hand on my stomach. "It will be okay...everything will be okay...I hope."
"Gee,Freddie. Way to make me have faith..."
"Sorry..."
"S'okay" Carly finished her convo with Colombia St Jacob's.
"Okay, that was the doctor. He said you guys are fully paid for. He also suggested a Lamaze Class."
"La-mama?" I said
"No, Lamaze...it teaches you how to be a parent and how to breathe and stuff."
"They think I can't breath right? Ha"
"Sam..." Freddie groaned
"You guys have to go actually..." Carly said as she scrolled our schools policy on her phone.
"We HAVE to go? Freddie, I don't want to go to some dumb breathing class."
"I know...me neither..."
"You HAVE to...here's what the policy says about pregnancy...: If a student is pregnant she must attend a Lamaze class and have monthly doctor's appointments...no exceptions."
"Myeh...I don' wanna!"
"You don't have a choice ,Sam. Besides this will really help you and Freddie."
"Fine!" I crossed my arms and sulked. I know he thought I couldn't see it but he mouthed 'I'ts the hormones' to Carly. I let it slide. And then who barged in? None other than the she-monster.
"Freddie! Where have you been?" She said reaching still standing in the door...that she had broken.
"Whhhhhhyyyyy? What has the door done to anyone?" Carly exclaimed as she rushed to its rescue.
"With me, witchlady." I say looking her dead in the eyes.
"Freddie,you can't do this!You don't have to!"
Freddie stood up and walked to his mom who was now standing behind the couch.
"I don't have to? Mom, maybe you are a she-monster! How could you say that? The exact same thing happened to you!"
"No. What happened to me has nothing to do with this ...situation"
"Really, Mom? Did you not get pregnant at 17? Maybe that wasn't you who raised me all alone because you had no one to help you? Mom you are such a hypocrite! I WANT something different for Sam! I want her to have support! Don't you understand? Don't you think she deserves a life? Mom you did a damn-well good job of raising me! But I don't think you trust me..."
"Freddie..."
"No Mom! You can't keep doing this!"
"Doing what? What did I do?" She asks with spread arms.
"What did you do? What did you do! You told my pregnant girlfriend that she was a floozie, a skank, and a slut! You accused her of ,pretty much raping me! And you want me to just go home with you. So I can be little Freddie under his mom's hypocritical little thumb! I won't Mom! I just wont..."
"I'm sorry Freddie!"
"You need to apologize to her" He points to me. I look at her.
"I'm sorry Samantha. You didn't deserve that. I'm sorry that it took a good scolding from my son to realize that."
"Its okay Mrs. Benson."
"No it's not...I didn't realize how similar you are to me...and I treated you like people did me. I was wrong."
"I'm not moving back in Mom." Freddie said abruptly
"Why?"
"Because...I have to be with Sam."
"You do, so Sam you can live with us."
"I'm not sure about that...either."
"Okay, you are right not enough room." I watched as she thought hard. I could tell because she ws furrowing her brow and pursing her lips, same as Freddie does.
"Alright, I have a conclusion. How about I buy you guys a condo? Or apartment? I'll pay the rent, but you guys have to get food and baby stuff on your own. But I will help you okay?"
I got up and ran to Mrs Benson and hugged her.
"Thankyouthankyouthankyou!"
"Thanks Mom. This means a lot."
She just smiled at him and the at me.
"I think we might actually be starting a family." Carly stated finally speaking
"Yea...We just might."
