Chapter 3
Freddie's POV
This was awesome. Everywhere I went, girls stopped to
Tell me how great I smelled
Ask me if I'm going out with someone (I said yes, even though I am currently single)
Or
Ask me out to the fall dance
This was beyond cool. I saw CARLY doing stuff to make me notice her (like at Computer Lab she showed this one girl how to fix the problem on her computer, then checked to see if I was looking at her), SAM wasn't spearing me with her usual insults AND she was calling me Freddie instead of a weird nickname she made up, and WENDY was, well, she was devoting every second of her spare time to me.
It was kind of creepy, if you know what I mean. She sent her FRIENDS to do stuff for me. One of Wendy's friends, Janelle, was ASSIGNED to do stuff for me concerning school, and Clarice was supposed to help me with my, um, social life. I overheard Wendy talking to them about it. She was like a drill sergeant.
I met up with Wendy at lunch. Rather, Wendy begged for me to sit at their table.
"So Freddie, are you going with anyone to the fall dance?" Wendy asked sweetly. She touched my arm.
"I AM going with someone to the fall dance!"I answered. What was I saying?
"Who are you going with, Freddie?" Wendy asked with a slight edge to her voice.
"I'm going with… Carly," I said. No I'm not!
"You're going with Carly Shay?" Wendy said, and took her hand off of my arm. She put her hands on her hips.
"None other," I answered. Darn, one lie after another…
"Who asked who?" Wendy asked. Her voice went up an octave.
"I asked her, because she was one of the only people not to clobber me with questions," I said.
"Oh," Wendy said. Wendy rushed off with her friends. Where were they going?
Wendy's POV
Carly was SO busted. She knew how much I liked Freddie. She knew that she didn't like Freddie. I knew she was going to get it.
Janelle, Clarice, Marilyn and I stormed over to Calry, who was with Sam Puckett.
"You KNOW I like Freddie," I said in a low voice.
"Yeah, I know." Carly said, confused. She was playing innocent so well…
"Then why are you going with Freddie to the fall dance?" I raised my voice.
"I'm not…" Carly said.
"Yeah, right. Then are you saying Freddie's lying?" I asked.
"Listen, you nub!" Sam shouted.
Oh, now they call me names?
"Listen. Just stay out of my way, and we'll BOTH be happy, okay?" I said. I was letting her off the hook.
I noticed Sam slipping out of view, but I didn't care.
Sam's POV
I ran over to Freddie, who had, let's see, 9 girls with him.
"Get lost!!" I yelled at them. They got lost.
"Freddie, you nub! Carly's getting her head yelled off by Wendy, since SHE IS GOING WITH YOU TO THE FALL DANCE, APPARENTLY!!!" I shouted at his face. While I was near his face, I smelled him. Ahh… better than pork chops any day… I mean… never mind.
"Oh…" Freddie said.
"Yeah, OH…!" I shouted. "Come on! We have to go!"
"To where?"
"To Carly, you idiot!"
We ran off to Carly's locker.
Freddie's POV
This was bad. I told Wendy that I was steady with Carly, when Carly would've rather dated a banana!
When we got to Carly, Carly was in a headlock by Clarice, and Wendy was saying, "Freddie is mine!"
"Ahem… Wendy?" I tapped on her shoulder.
"WHA-oh, Freddie! Hi! You see, Carly and I were practicing for the new wrestling unit in P.E.! Clarice is REALLY good at the headlock right now," Wendy said smoothly. If she wasn't shouting, I would've believed her. She was smooth.
Clarice let go of Carly.
"Wendy's a liar, and so are you, Freddie!" Carly shouted. Why didn't an adult notice? Oh yeah, lunch break is over.
"No… the only liar is YOU!" Wendy hollered. Lunch break was over. LUNCH BREAK WAS OVER!
"You guys! Lunch break is over! We're supposed to be in CLASS!" I shouted.
"Freddie, you're always thinking about school," Wendy said dreamily.
"Leave Carly alone."
Wendy laughed. "That's easy. On one condition…"
