CH:10: I Love You
"Sam?" called my Algebra teacher. "Could you please meet me back here after school? I have something very important to talk to you about."
I looked at my teacher curiously. His tone was very serious. The same tone every single one of my teachers gave me when I got into trouble. I simply nodded and left the classroom.
I wondered what he wanted to talk to me about. It's not like I've been doing anything wrong. I haven't done one bad thing since school started. It's just not who I want to be anymore and I was growing nervous and paranoid.
Come to think of it, I've been feeling nervous a lot lately. The butterflies in my stomach, my shaky hands, and that loud thump in my heart have become so familiar. Ever since that day at the Seattle Skate, these feelings wouldn't go away. I tried so hard to push that scene between me and Freddie out of my head. The one where we fell and I just couldn't stop looking into his eyes. It just replayed in my head over and over like a pop song on the radio. It was driving me insane.
I've managed to keep my cool around Freddie during our tutoring sessions but once I was out of his house, these feelings would take over me. I don't understand. I finally find a guy that likes me and it all gets ruined because my stupid heart felt that every moment I've spent with Freddie is real. I'm supposed to like David but lately, I'm not so sure anymore.
The day could not have gone any slower but I stayed patient and lucky for me, school was over. I walked to my math class to see what the teacher wanted to tell me. I knocked on the door and in a matter of seconds, he opened the door and I walked in. He sat on his seat and started shuffling through a bunch of papers. He took one paper out and then sighed before he looked at me.
"Okay Sam. The reason I wanted to talk to you after school is to talk about the last test. As you know, this test is very important and counts for 50% of your grade." Oh boy. I began to get nervous again. No surprise there. I probably flunked. I always do.
"So I graded yours and I just wanted to personally congratulate you for getting the highest grade in the class." I looked at him as my mouth dropped. He held the paper in front of me so I could see my percentage. I received 110% on a freaking Algebra test. Talk about a first.
"Are you serious? Tell me your serious. Oh my god" I yelled in excitement and snatched the test from his hands. I stared at it in awe. I just wanted to run to my house and tape it to my refrigerator like a proud parent does after their kid gets an A.
"Congratulations Sam. You have improved so much in such a short amount of time. Everyone at Ridgeway is proud of you." he smiled.
"Wow... um thank you so much. Ahhh I'll see you tomorrow." I ran out of the room with so much excitement built inside of me.
I ran across the halls screaming from all the happiness. I couldn't believe it. I received an A+ on my test and it was the highest grade in the class. I beat Fredward and that to me was a major accomplishment since he is one of Ridgeways' top students.
I received many stares but I didn't care. No one could take away this happiness from me.
I kept running and running and next thing I knew, I was on my butt. I stood up and Freddie was right in front of me, looking at me like I was crazy.
"Are you okay Sam?" he simply asked. I shoved my test right on his face so he could see.
"I got an A+ Freddie. A freaking A+ on my Algebra test. This is all because of you." I gave him the biggest smile I could offer. "Thank you so much."
And with that, I jumped to give him the biggest hug I've ever given anyone. I felt his arms around my waist and he lifted me up, spinning me around in the process. Then I felt those familiar butterflies fly all around my stomach again, but more aggressively this time. I felt Freddie's heartbeat against mine and his was beating just as fast as mine was. He put me down and I looked into his eyes... again. Those amazing brown eyes that have my heart going crazy.
"Congratulations Sam. I am very proud of you." I didn't say anything. I was lost in his eyes and I couldn't find my way out. "Uh Sam?"
I snapped out of it and I hugged him again. It felt good to have him in my arms but then a sad looking David popped into my head. I felt extremely guilty and awkward. I let go of Freddie and just looked at him seriously.
"I.. uh.. I have to go. Um... I have to show David." I said and he gave me a small smile and waved his hand goodbye. I walked away and began to look for David.
I found him by his locker. He seemed to be texting someone.
I approached him and as soon as he saw me, he quickly placed his phone in his pocket. Hm.
"Hey David. Look." I said and showed him my test. "I got an A+ on my test." I tried to show the same excitement I showed Freddie but it just wasn't there.
David smiled and pulled me into a long kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and his were on my hips. This kiss felt wrong. The butterflies that David used to bring me were no longer flying around my stomach liek they did before. They only surfaced themselves when Freddie was near.
We pulled away and he started kissing my neck. "I'm so happy for you Sam." he said in between kisses.
"I love you..." he announced and pulled me into another kiss.
I couldn't take it anymore. I spent days avoiding David after what he told me. He told me he loved me and it made my guilt worse.
I also couldn't stop thinking about Freddie. As much as I didn't want to admit it to myself, I had to. I was falling for Freddie. He was there all along and David was... not. He was there helping me get my grades up. He was there to feed me every afternoon during tutoring and he was even there when my own boyfriend flaked on our 'triple date'.
I don't want to hurt David. He's been good to me, even if he wasn't always there.
I decided to tell Freddie how I feel about him. Something told me that he feels the same way I do. Then I could break up with David and not feel guilty about being with him and liking someone else at the same time.
I was by my locker waiting for Freddie. I texted him earlier and told him I had something important to tell him. My heart was pounding again but I tried not to show that I was feeling nervous. My hands were fidgeting as I saw him walk towards me. I smiled at him when he finally approached me.
"Hey Sam. What did you wanna talk about?"
"Freddie-- I-- I don't know how to tell you this but..." I stopped when I heard a familiar voice and footsteps coming down from the stairs. It was Jonah. I walked towards the corner of the wall and I peeked, to see what he was doing. I saw him right in front of the stairs with David. I looked at Freddie curiously and he walked towards me to see what was happening.
"Hey David." I heard Jonah say. "We need to talk about you and Sam..."
Hehehe I left you all with a cliffhanger. In the next chapter, you get to see what Jonah and David talk about AND you get to find out if Sam tells Freddie how she feels.
I hope I didn't rush this chapter too much with Sam's feelings towards Freddie. And sorry if this chapter was really short. The next one will be longer. I promise.
Please review. The more reviews I get, the more it motivates me to update sooner. Thanks.
Well anyways, I hope you all have a great New Year's Eve. See ya in 2010 :)
