Chapter Nine: I hook up Sam Part 2
Finally Sam, Carly and Freddie got to their next periods, they had most of the subjects in school together but Carly a writing class were she was separated from Sam and her boyfriend Freddie. In Carly's writing class Mister Peterson collected the homework assignments for today and said while doing that: " In two we will write a big test, which is very important for your grade in this subject for the current semester, everybody is going to write an three pages essay about a subject that I will choose for you." In her thoughts Carly sighed a little bit, not about the test in general, she just hated it to get a subject by Mister Peterson chosen. Also was it very difficult for a very good pupil like Carly was, to get As at Mister Peterson's writing class because he would always find things in Carly's essays for example that made them not A worthy and that was so upsetting for Carly, she even regretted it sometimes to have chosen this class this semester.
Meanwhile Freddie and Sam were sitting in their art class, maybe they weren't the next great talented artists but they draw both well enough to get a good grade for this semester. Freddie was very bad painting at the beginning but he had gotten better and better by the time and right now he drew a wonderful red rose on his sketch block. He would give the finished picture to Carly, because this red rose reminded him of his beautiful girlfriend every time he looked at it on his sketch block. He wondered what Sam and Carly had discussed in the break after the second period for today but then quickly banned this thought from his mind, cause it wasn't his business when he was honest to himself. Finally the third period of today was over, and Miss Walker the Art Teacher said: "Ok everybody we are finished for today, anybody who couldn't finish their drawing today can do that tomorrow." With their sketch blocks in their hands all the pupils left the class room to go to their next periods for today. Freddie and Sam then finally arrived at their lockers, and met up there with Carly who was very happy that her writing class with Mister Peterson was finally over. Before Freddie could say anything to his girlfriend, Sam dragged her by the sleeve of her pullover before her and whispered: "There he is Josh Fredrickson, he is sooo cute." Carly was a little bit surprised by Sam's actions but then figured after a while that her best friend must have fallen really in love with this guy and Carly honestly couldn't blame Sam, cause he was a really a good looking boy. Never had Sam been this shy around boys, so finally Carly then said: "Go! Talk to him, make some small talk about some casual things like school for example."
"You really think I should go talk to him right now? But he maybe knows my bad reputation at Ridgeway High School, he could just ignore me because of that!"
"But he could do the otherwise, and you will only now if he likes you or not if you go and talk to him now!" Sam then finally decided to take the advice of her best friend since her childhood and went to talk to Josh Fredrickson.
"Hi Josh what's up?"
"Hey Sam nothing much, school's as boring as it ever is."
The both of them continued to talk a little bit longer, and as Carly saw that Sam was pretty comfortable by herself with the cute boy she and Freddie left her alone with Josh Fredrickson. Later after school was finally over, Sam and Carly met up alone in Carly's apartment, Freddie was busy with his friends from the AV Club at the moment. Of course they talked about Josh, since Sam had developed a crush on him she just couldn't stop talking about him. She just wanted a date with him so much, but she was too shy to ask him out for that, Carly was very surprised of that behavior cause she never saw that side of her best friend before.
Maybe she could ask Josh for date for Sam, but what would happen if the cute boy misunderstood the whole thing and actually thinks that Carly instead of Sam has a crush on him? That would surely be a big problem for the three, and also Carly wasn't in the mood to risk her friendship with Sam.
