Thanks guys! I love all your reviews. Now, this is Carly's perspective! Thanks for all the suggestions, they all helped loads! So, here's the next chapter!
Carly stood, shell shocked, as her friends left the scene they just created seconds ago. Everyone was whispering and gossiping around her about Sam and Freddie. Carly just couldn't believe it. Why would Freddie even kiss Sam? And did Sam look like she was enjoying it? No way, both hate each other, Carly decided as she slowly sat against the lockers, in thought. But, in a way, it made sense. All the fighting and teasing could have covered up their feelings for each other. But maybe they just wanted the teasing to stop, so they just decided to get their first kiss out of the way.
But something had been off since Wednesday, Carly thought as people moved past her. Both have been acting weird toward each other, almost like avoiding the other, and they have also been standing up for each other more often. Something happened on Wednesday, Carly thought as the bell rang. And I'm going to find out at lunch, she thought again as she stood up to head to class.
"Hey Sam, where have you been all morning? You missed class," Carly asked innocently as she sat beside Sam and started eating her lunch. Sam shrugged.
"Been destroying cars, called Briggs a weenie, the usual. I didn't feel like going to class," Sam answered as she took out her packaged bacon and ate it. Carly just smiled as she sipped her orange juice.
"Don't you mean avoiding Freddie?" she asked, causing Sam to start choking on her bacon. Carly pounded on her best friend's back until the meat finally came out of her throat. Sam took a swig of water.
"Carls, what are you talking about? Why would I be avoiding Freddie? I can skip once in a while, you know. Just because I skipped after what...happened this morning doesn't mean I was avoiding Freddie. Besides, the kiss was absolutely awful.... and if I could I'd...take it back," Sam said, but Carly, now more observant toward Sam and Freddie now that she had a feeling something happened with them, detected the hesitation in her voice. Carly just smiled.
"Of course Sam. Something's been weird with you two ever since Wednesday. Are you going to tell me, or will I have to ask Freddie?" Carly asked. Sam shook her head frantically, as if she wanted to keep a secret hidden and wanted no one to say anything.
"Nothing happened between us Carls, just the talk on Wednesday I guess made me understand him a little bit better and stuff, but I still hate his guts, and that kiss didn't mean a thing," Sam said confidentally. Carly felt a jump in her stomach, a flutter, that was basically telling her that Sam was lying. Sam really did enjoy that kiss more than she was letting on, and for Sam, denial was her strongest emotion at times. Carly sighed.
"Sam, I know you're lying. Just tell me the truth. I'm your best friend, and I tell you everything, I let you know all my secrets. You know I won't judge at all," Carly said. Sam remained strong, however, shaking her head.
"I'm not lying Carly. It's the truth, nothing happened Wednesday, besides talking, and I hated the kiss. If you ask Freddork, he'll say the same thing, and you know he won't lie to his...precious Carly," Sam said, letting sarcasm drip from her voice, some jealousy letting through as well. Carly knew it was jealousy. After all, when Jake got back together with Stephanie, Carly felt jealous, and tried to hide it. She knew what jealousy was like, and Sam was..jealous now? Weird! Carly was not determined to find out what happened Wednesday, and if Sam wouldn't tell her, Freddie would! Even if she had to blackmail him to do it.
Carly sighed as she turned toward the cafeteria doors, seeing Freddie enter slowly. Whispers started going around just then, as Carly heard Sam groan and mutter something under her breath. Freddie spotted the girls and offered a feeble smile, but Carly, more observant, could see that he didn't want to come over here.
Freddie smiled awkwardly as he sat down beside Carly.
"Hey girls," he greeted the two pleasently, but avoiding to look at Sam. Carly figured he probably just came to sit with them to show that everything was normal. Yeah, right, Carly scoffed mentally. She knew her two best friends like the back of her hand, and things were definatley not normal.
"Hey Fredweird. I'm going to get some pudding. Be back soon," Sam said, standing up and moving toward the cafeteria line. Carly took the chance to ask Freddie.
"Hey Freddie. I know this is going to be blunt, but what happened on Wednesday? You two have been acting very strange," Carly asked. Freddie looked taken aback from the question, but Carly had to ask it. Freddie shrugged innocently.
"Nothing Carly. We just talked, that's all. We understand each other a little better, and are giving each other a little less of a hard time," he answered. Carly narrowed her eyes.
"Why are you giving each other less of a hard time?" she asked. Freddie paused hesitantly.
"Because Sam is now aware of my feelings, and I'm aware of hers," he answered. Carly looked at him for a moment. There was truth behind his eyes, but also something more.
"Freddie, what happened, seriously? You can tell me, I'm your best friend. Do you think that I'll tell the whole school or something?" she asked. Freddie shook his head.
"No," he mumbled. Carly smiled as she laid a hand on Freddie's shoulder. Freddie just looked at Carly, a little startled. Carly noted he didn't look happy or anything, not like when he had a crush on her. She was now positive he was over her. Thank god, she thought.
"Then tell me. What happened between you and Sam? Cause it was more than just talking. Was today not the first time you kissed or something? Did you guys kiss on Wednesday?" she asked. Freddie looked at Carly, appalled. Suddenly, Sam came out of nowhere, startling the two.
"Hey guys! What have you been up to since I've been gone?" she asked, carrying her pudding. Carly saw some jealousy in her eyes so Carly dropped her hand. She put up a smile.
"Not much Sam. You've only been gone for a minute," Carly answered lightly. Sam laughed as she sat down.
"Oh, ok!" she said. Satisfied, Carly turned back to Freddie.
"So, what's the answer to my question Freddie? Yes or no?" she asked. Freddie was looking down awkwardly. He looked up at Carly, shooting an apologetic look at Sam.
"Ok, what question?" Sam asked. Carly smiled.
"The question was if you guys kissed on Wednesday when you went to go talk to Freddie or not," Carly answered simply. Sam's eyes definately widened, and she took a quick look at Freddie, who definately looked like he was trying to find the words to say. Carly watched both with interest. They looked hesitant to tell her. So that mean they really did kiss. Oh my god! And Carly bet they hadn't talked about it yet! She was interferring.
Freddie and Sam just looked at Carly, unsure of what to say. Carly knew they both knew she knew. Sam just offered a feeble smile, Freddie looking down awkwardly.
"Um, surprise?" Sam said awkwardly. Carly just gaped.
"Wow, I didn't really expect that," she admitted. Freddie looked up suddenly at his former crush.
"We didn't want anyone to know. It was supposed to be a quick kiss-then-forget-about-it type thing," Freddie said. Sam nodded.
"Yeah, we were supposed to hate each other right after wards and forget about it, but school brought it up again, with the teasing and stuff. No one was supposed to know about this, but then it happened again today and now, everything's complicated,"Sam continued. Carly nodded, the shock wearing off.
"Well, I don't know what to say you guys. I really just think you guys need to figure this out, so all of this gets resolved," Carly admitted. Sam nodded.
"Yeah, we do," Sam said, looking toward Freddie, their eyes speaking to each other. Carly grinned sheepishly.
"Well, what are you waiting for you guys? You two, go outside and talk. I need to think about this all, myself, finding out my best friends kissed, and all," Carly said. Sam nodded as they both stood up and walked out of the cafeteria. Carly just sighed as she sipped her juice quickly. Those two definately had a lot to talk about, and Carly just hoped they could figure it all out.
Ok, so what do you think? I think deep down, in the show, Carly is a little suspicious of the two, and I think she would react this way, shocked but sort of knew something happened. Carly, I can tell, is smart and all and could figure it out. So yeah, I hope this was good enough. Next chapter is of them finally talking and seeing if they will become a couple or not. Send in your ideas of what should happen next chapter? Couple or not?
