iDress Up As Melanie
Chapter 2
Studying and Precautions

I am a criminal master mind, but if I am going to pull this off, I am going to have to do some intense studying. Melanie is up for three days. Tomorrow is her last. Tonight, when she gets back from her date with Freddie, I will go undercover. Oh yes, I will. We are both going to crash at Carly's tonight. She will gush to us about her date.

I waited impatiently on the couch, not even paying attention to what was on TV. I checked my watch again for the billionth time. The movie they went to ended at 10. It was now 10:30. It only takes 10 minutes to walk from the movies to Carly's! I drummed my fingers on my leg impatiently. Carly was yet again, talking to the guy she was totally into. She refused to tell me who it was. I was a little jealous or her and Melanie, they always had guys. I didn't.

I heard giggling outside the door. I heard Freddie say something in his low voice, followed by another giggle from Melanie. A little more chat, and then suddenly silence. My stomach tightened into a knot as my mind filled with images of what could be occuring in the silence.

"Carly! I think the Chinese food is here!" I yelled really loudly, throwing open the door in the middle of the sentence. I heard a confused Carly from upstairs, but it wasn't legible over the shock of what I walked into. Melanie and Freddie were in mid kiss, but when they heard the door open, the jumped back from each other in surprise.

"Sam!" Melanie exclaimed annoyed, while Freddie stood there with an awkward look on his face while scratching the back of his neck.

"Sorry! I thought you were mama's Chinese food!" I did a little dance when I said the last part. Act like normal Sam, trick the nubs. Freddie looked at me weird, his eyebrows up in confusion.

"You are ordered Chinese food, at 10:30?"

"Dude, girls eat insanely at sleepovers, especially me." I covered.

"Whatever, " Melanie huffed, "anyways, I had a great time Freddie. Text me?"

"Of course." Freddie smiled. He had a cute inviting smile to him.

They hugged while I stood there awkwardly. I cleared my throat.

"Bye Freddie," Melanie waved, more of the fake wariness.

"'Night Mel," And Freddie went into his apartment, and in we went into ours, but not before I looked back at him again, watching the boy I could never properly have with a deep feeling in my stomach.

"And… I think I was his first… y'know… French!"

My head was pounding. This master plan was a painful one, Melanie had boasted about her date with Freddie in great detail for hours since Carly and I told her to spill the beans. And I HAD to pay attention to each factor, and they stung me like bricks.

"I don't follow…" I said in denial, "You aren't French…"

Melanie and Carly rolled their eyes at me,

"Oh Sam, you are so INEXPERIENCED! As in French kiss!"

I sighed as she continued her rant about Freddie's newly formed arms. I was currently lying on a mattress beside Carly's bed. We could all fit on it, but I didn't want to sleep with my sister. I had told them I wasn't feeling too great and needed my space. I lay there in the dark, looking up at the ceiling.

Why did I have to like the kid? Stupid Freddie. His stupid big brown eyes, and his stupid arms, and don't forget his stupid smile! And that stupid laugh? How about his stupid smarts?

"Unfortunately…" Melanie continued, and I snapped back into the conversation, "we obviously can't try to keep a long distance relationship. We'll text, flirt a bit, but I mean, nothing big will happen. Maybe he'll just be one of those flings I get every time I visit."

I smiled in the dark. Then I realised… this could ruin my plan!

"Did you guys… establish that?" I asked, trying to make it sound like I didn't care much at all.

"Yeah, pretty much. We said while walking back it's too bad we couldn't be official and stuff."

"Ah." This complicated things. How would it work, with Melanie texting him from her stupid boarding school in Washington, and him knowing things with them were never official!

"Girlies, girlies, girlies, mama's goin' to bed to keep it down!" I announced.

"Fine fine." Growled Carly. I was almost asleep, I was finally content because I now had my master plan figured out.

"Hey Carly?" I hear Melanie whisper.

"Yes Melanie?" She whispered back.

"Whatever happened to the Chinese food? I wouldn't mind stealing a little." Carly giggled.

"I think you're a little over tired. Get to sleep silly!"

"Goodbye Melanie!" Carly said, giving her a hug outside of the plaza in front of the impatient cab man who kept honking his horn. It was early, 10 AM at least. I couldn't believe I was awake. The sun was slightly peeking out of two white puffy clouds and there was a slight breeze to the air.

"Goodbye Sam!" Melanie said simply to me, giving me a quick sideways hug.

"Buh-bye." I let out. I never got to know my sister very well, I just knew she was perfect and I wasn't, so there was no need to get close to her when she doesn't want me around.

"Goodbye Freddie!" She exclaimed nearly tearing up. Freddie wrapped his large arms around her in a big bear hug. I wouldn't mind being on the other side of that hug.

"Goodbye." He murmured softly. It was so sweet. It made me want to throw up. It botherd me that my sister was so close with my friends.

The cab driver honked again. Melanie waved again and stepped back towards the car.

"Wait! Melanie… mom's cell numbers changed… the old company found out she was scamming them, she told me to put it into your phone."

"Oh, okay. Make it fast or this guy is going to have a cow," she tapped her tiny foot impatiently.

I grabbed her expensive fancy bedazzled phone. Quickly, I moved up to Freddie's name. Edit contact. Delete contact? YES! Are you sure? YES!

This was just precaution; I knew Melanie had a strict rule of not texting boys unless they texted first.

"Here you go," I said with a smug smile on my face.

"Bye guys!"

And away she went far down the highway and out of our lives.

Or so, that's what Benson thought.
