iThink Mom Knows

Chapter 4-iAm Telling You

"Freddie, are you 2 like...together?", Ms. Benson asks confused.

"Well...yeah mom, we are", Freddie replies.

"For like 3 weeks. You were totally missing everything", Sam says.

"3 and a half", Freddie corrects her.

"Oh my...well Samantha, I didn't miss THAT much...", Ms. Benson says as she hold up Sam's jacket.

"Woops...oh, and don't call me 'Samantha' ", Sam replies with a smirk on her face.

"Her name is Sam.", Freddie corrects his mom.

Ms. Benson's POV

Wow...it seems like my son really cares for her...wait...her. This-this Samantha girl? The girl who picks on him constantly and hurts his poor little feelings? 3 and a half weeks!? When did this start? Oh...my poor Freddie. Look at his elbow, it's---

End of POV

"Mom!", Freddie tries to get her attention.

"Snap out of it woman!", Sam yells to her.

"Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry, I was...thinking", Ms. Benson replies.

"About what?", Freddie asks.

"Yeah, what're you thinkin' about?", Sam asks the same.

"Oh...just...how I am going to fix that elbow of yours!! Come on Freddie, let me get you home so I can disinfect that mess!", Ms. Benson says s she covers up her thoughts. She tugs at Freddie's arm, only to see that he isn't letting go of Sam's hand.

"Freddie, lets go", Ms. Benson commands. Just the thought of her little Freddie-bear and Samantha going out just sends chills up her spine.

"Mom, I wanna stay here", Freddie looks over at Sam, "with Sam".

Sam smiles. "Come on, let him stay", she pleads.

Ms. Benson's POV

Should I??! Should I like my Freddie stay with Samantha? Or as her friends call her, "Sam". Ugh, such a boy-ish name for a young lady. Why does Freddie like this girl? What happened to make them like eachother...I mean...lo-lo-lo...

(She struggles at the word)

...love eachother...? Well...I guess I could let him stay, just until I start thinking straight again.

End of POV

"Oh, ok. You can stay Freddie", she makes up her mind.

"Thanks mom", Freddie happily replies. "Thanks crazy!", Sam says still clinging to Freddie.

"Come on babe, lets sit down", Freddie directs Sam to a seat.

Ms. Benson leave the Groovie Smoothie and remembers the note she found on the floor.

Ms. Benson's POV

Hmm...looks like a regular lined piece of paper. Probably from school. Oh, what was so important that my Freddie had to be distracted from school!? Probably Samantha...

(She begins reading the note)

You wanna meet at my place after school?

Sure, right after school?

Yeah, I'll walk you there from school.

What about Carly?

You can go to her place until she leaves.

Leaves?

Yeah, she is going to the movies with Spencer.

Oh, ok. So what are we gonna do, study?

No...we are gonna do the usual.

The usual? I like the usual.

Haha. I 3 U.

You too Freddork, you too.

Oh, by the way, I got you something.

What is it? Food?

No, ha. You'll have to see after class.

Okay.

Alright, lets act like we are paying attention.

Haha. Kay.

(In the end of the note there is a Mood Ring color key)

End Note.

Oh my healthy foods! They met up after school without my permission! But what was the usual? Watching movies? Exercising maybe? Hmm...I'm sure I can get some information out of Carly. Freddie gave her a mood ring, huh? Well, this may explain a little if I can get a glance at it while she is wearing it.
