Hey, Puckett. Actually, I guess I should start calling you Samantha…cuz read online (gotta love Google) that girls like their boyfriends to give them a cute nickname. Is that true?

Of course, you're not "most" girls. You're Sam. I mean that in the nicest way possible. Kinda.

Anyway, I decided to make it official: I like you, Samantha Puckett. I hope you like me too. Cuz we're not getting any younger…and I don't wanna die alone!

Besides, the stress of hating someone can cause wrinkles. Do you really wanna risk messing up your (perfect, beautiful, amazing, gorgeous) face? I sure don't.

But that's why I'm sending you this email. I'm in love with you, Sam. DO you feel the same way about me? I mean, that kiss we had at Saturday's lock-in…you kissed me! I want everyone to know that YOU KISSED ME!

Sorry. I'm just kinda in shock here. I've never been kissed…that way. The good way. ;)

So I guess I'm just confused. You're kinda sending me mixed signals here. So what's the deal? Are we about to make Creddie fans mad enough to drop out of school and get a job frying burgers at Inside Out Burger?

Reply soon, Freddie.

P.S. Are you using a new shampoo? Your hair smelled like strawberries yesterday :)

P.P.S You didn't see the message my mom posted on my blog…did you?

Yo, Freddork! Hmm…you probably want me to call you Freddie or something equally geeky…but Mama ain't gonna! Just cuz I like you doesn't mean I gotta stop messin with ya!

Oh, about the whole Google nickname thing? Google is soooo yesterday. Duh! Everyone uses Wikipedia now! :)

And BTW it is true sadly that most girls enjoy a cute nickname…but not me! If you call me anything but Sam, I'll give your cell phone number to a hobo! Yep…you know the one. He's been asking about you again….

*Sigh* I guess I should confess: I kinda have a thing for you too Fredbag. But don't get any ideas in that boy brain of yours (if it exists). It's a small thing. But it might grow…

I think it's kinda cute that you're worried about dying old and alone. Cuz it's so true! It's definitely a possibility. But there's another possibility: Seddie.

Um….why the heck would I care about wrinkles? Dude, we're fifteen! And FYI, I'll never get wrinkles! Haven't you ever heard of plastic surgery? How do ya think your mom looks like she's only 100 instead of…what is she….500?

Yes, Freddiaper (haha, a new insult!) I do like you. So there: It's official. So all you Creddies: Go buy a spatula and locate the nearest McDonalds!

Uh….I refuse to talk about that lock-in kiss on Sat. until I've talked with my lawyer. He's currently on vacation in the tropics, recovering from his nervous breakdown! :)

Hope you're happy, Fredloser!

P.S. How'd you know about the strawberry shampoo? It was a gift from Carly. And by gift, I mean I swapped the strawberry shampoo she bought for mayonnaise! What…life would get boring without a prank or two!

P.P.S I actually wouldn't mind a bunch of Creddies flipping burgers all day for minimum wage. Then a lot more ppl would smell like meat! MMM…..meat.
