Shipwrecked
Chapter 17(Sam's POV)
By the time Freddie had finished telling me the story, my eyes had been so watery that it was a miracle I didn't start crying yet. Him though, he had a few tears that rolled down his cheeks. It's when I realized I had never seen him like this before. I always called him a loser, a girl, a wimp, but I never DID see him crying. He looked so hurt, I almost felt sorry for him. Ah screw it, I DID feel sorry for him.
I can't believe I acted so mean to him and he never did anything wrong to me. He's always been a nice guy towards me, and towards everyone, no matter what I did to him. Yep, I knew about that cruise he gave up for me; I'm not that stupid. Besides, Wendy's my friend and also the source of all gossips at Ridgeway High. Speaking of Wendy, where is she? Oh, there she is, playing with Puna. Well, actually fighting.
I looked back at Freddie who was wiping away his tears. He then looked at me and forced a weak smile on his face. I never thought I'd say this, but he looked kind of cute. His chocolate brown eyes were piercing right through mines and the wind that blew gently made his hair a bit messy and dried the tears off his face. Though, new and freshe tears started streaming down his flushed cheeks as the smile faded away.
''Freddie, you okay?'' I asked him, putting my hand on his right cheek, wiping away some of his tears with my thumb.
''I'm... Fine.'' he said.
''Sam, don't cry.'' he continued, as for I haven't noticed the tears that were not still welling up inside me, but were now spread across my cheeks.
''But you're crying, too.'' I accused him.
''I was just trying to keep your mind off things, not make you cry.'' he said.
''Guess you didn't succeed.'' I told him and moved my hand down. We were sitting pretty close, our legs lined up against each other and shoulders barely touching. He looked deep into my eyes, as if he was trying to read my mind.
I was so caught up in his features that I didn't notice how close he was until his lips touched mine. I was so shocked I couldn't respond. He held his lips there for two seconds, then parted them from mine for a half an inch and kissed me again, waiting for my reaction. After a few kisses, when it didn't come, he pulled away and asked me:
''What's wrong?'' My answer was a slap to his face.
''Sam! What was that for?'' he asked.
''What do you think? Dude, you kissed me!'' I shouted.
''But I thought you wanted me to kiss you!''
''Where did you get THAT idea?'' I asked him.
''You were staring at me like an idiot! Did you NOT notice how close we were?'' he yelled.
''NO!'' I shot back at him. ''Jeez...'' After a minute of silence he spoke:
''Look, can we just forget about this?'' I looked at him, studying his face, his eyes were pleading for forgiveness.
''Okay, fine.'' I sighed and saw a smile that broke onto his face.
''You know, maybe we could repeat that kiss.'' What he said earned him another slap.
~Wendy's POV~
UGH! This stupid monkey won't get off of me! Okay, Wendy. Breathe! Breathe in, breathe out , breathe in, breathe out... See? There you go! Just calm down. I'm gonna get out of this. Let's see.. I move my leg that way and my hand there-Oh no! A bad move! Hand back! *sigh* That was close! Why don't I just- Aaaaahhh! Yep, that worked! She moved off of me! Just had to use my voice a little smarter than usual. (A/N: If you don't get it, she screamed.)
Okay, I should stand up and move as far away from her as possible. I'm just gonna go hide in the jungle. The water was still dripping off my body as I entered in between the leaves of some enormous bush. I looked at the rock where Sam and Freddie were sitting. They both looked really sad, though. What I saw next made me gasp for air. Freddie leaned in and kissed Sam! He continued kissing her for a few seconds and then pulled away. That was going to be fun!
She stared at him for a good five seconds before smacking him in the face. I couldn't contain my laughter. They started arguing about something and stopped when Sam finally yelled NO. They talked calmly for a minute and then Sam slapped him once again. I fell to the ground as I burst out laughing. Tears escaped my eyes and I got back onto my feet to watch the rest.
They were both yelling again with feisty expressions on their faces, though they still haven't moved away from each other. Freddie shouted looking very frustrating as he whipped his hands in the air, signaling the seriousness of the situation while Sam held her fingers in her ears, not listening to him and pretending to sing. Her mouth formed ''Lalala's'' as she moved from side to side, totally ignoring him and smacking her still wet hair around. After a few minutes he gave up on explaining and put his head in his hands. She stopped singing and put a comforting hand on his shoulder, it looked like she was apologizing.
He turned his head back to her and they talked calmly and almost reasonably, cuz them; they couldn't be reasonable no matter what. I was interested in the conversation and it's when I wished I could hear what they were talking about. They smiled to each other and Sam leaned on Freddie's shoulder. I was interested in what would happen next but I was pulled back by a strong hand around my waist.
~Freddie's POV~
''I'm sorry, Freddie.'' I felt a comforting hand on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Sam with an apolgetic look on her face. She didn't even have to say ''Please, for me?'' for me to be hers and do whatever she wants me to.
''It's okay, Sam. But I was just kidding.'' I said.
''I know.'' she claimed and I smiled. She smiled right back, though I was kinda hurt at the fact that she didn't want to kiss me. But then again, it shouldn't be weird cuz she's clearly been telling me that she only tolerates me. I was suprised when she put her head on my shoulder. We'd agreed that we would forget this. Although, I didn't want to.
''Freddie?'' I heard her voice and hoped she would do something that would cheer me up.
''Huh?'' I asked, trying to sound less interested than I was. She used my name and that could mean that something serious is about to happen. She never cals me Freddie! NEVER! Well let's hear her answer.
''Your pants are see-through.''
