Chapter 6
Sam's POV
So what's your plan?' I asked Clarice.
"Well, I'm in the Girls AV Club, and I know a lot about c\ameras and all that. So we set up a few cameras where they will be doing their play, and film them. You can come in the room a few times, and do some stuff to Freddie that'll get Carly all worried. Then they'll start to get all mushy and stuff. I'll edit the clip when they're done, and make it so there are only the romantic parts. You put it in the DVR, and when they turn it on, they'll see it, and FINALLY freakin' realize they are together already," She said in one long explanation.
"Actually, that's a pretty good idea. But, you're an AV dork, and I hate AV dorks," I answered.
She grabbed a 20 dollar bill from her purse. "I'll pay you," she said, waving the 20.
"Hello, friend!" I said, snatching the bill, and slung my arm around her.
Freddie's POV
At Carly's house…
I knocked on Carly's door.
"It's open," she called back.
I opened the door.
"Hi Freddie. Whoa, what is all this!" she exclaimed, looking at the suitcase I was rolling.
"Oh, it's just some book references, and other stuff we could use for the assignment," I said.
"All right, then. Thanks for the books, and other stuff. We should get upstairs," she said, and grabbed my hand, pulling me up the stairs and my suitcase.
Upstairs, we grabbed some bean bags and sat down.
"Okay, I already have an idea about the play," Carly said, taking charge. She drew back instantly.
"No, I want to hear it," I said.
"Okay, well a girl likes a guy, who likes her back, but her friend and brother hate him. So they have to find a way to show her friend and brother that he is a good guy. And… that's all I got," she said, blushing.
"No that's good. But it sounds like your life," I said. Except you don't like me, and Spencer doesn't hate me.
"Yeah, you're right," Carly said. Yeah, you're the girl, I'm the guy, Sam is your friend, and Spence is your bro.
"Yeah! It's like I am the girl, Sam is my friend, Spencer is my brother and Griffin is the boy!" Carly exclaimed.
"Right! Wait, Griffin?" I was confused.
"Yeah, except Sam also liked Griffin," Carly said.
"Yeah… I guess," I said, disappointed.
1 hour later…
We had almost everything planned out, when Sam burst in the room.
"How did you get in here? Carly shouted.
"Ehh… window was open?" Sam said.
She put something down on the counter that was really small, and then pressed a button on it. She walked over and punched me.
"Oww!!" I exclaimed.
Carly leaned over to my face. I closed my eyes.
Instead, she put her hand on my back, and rubbed it.
"Why do you constantly hurt him?" Carly shouted at Sam.
Sam just smiled mysteriously. What was that all about?
Sam ran out.
"Okay, THAT was weird," Carly said, dropping her hand and letting it dangle.
We just sat there awkwardly.
Then Carly broke the silence by saying, "Umm, can we use your equipment to film the play?"
"Sure," I muttered.
There was another minute of awkwardness.
"We need to cast all the people, though," I said.
"That'll be easy. I'll be Rosalinda (that was the girl's name), Sam will be Caitlyn (that was the friend's name, Spencer will be Nicholas (that was the brother), and… I'll ask Gary Wolff if he'll be Edward (that was the boy).
"But what about, you know, ME?" I asked. I was kind of hoping to be Edward, because he kisses Rosalinda at the end.
"Remember? You're doing the camera," Carly explained.
"Oh yeah," I said. I couldn't help felling disappointed.
Carly's POV
I didn't want Freddie to be Edward for specific reasons that were the reason I didn't want to date him. Gary was a senior, and hot. Freddie was not. Gary was obviously better.
I couldn't help but feel sad when Freddie's face fell.
We had worked out the script when Sam raced in, grabbed something off the counter, and rushed out.
"Humph," Freddie muttered.
Sam's POV
I went out to the front of Bushwell Plaza, where Clarice was waiting with her equipment.
She did some techy stuff, but basically she stuck a wire in her computer and a wire in the tiny camcorder, and pushed buttons.
She and I watched it on the computer screen, and there wasn't any good stuff except when I kicked Freddie.
"Dang it," she muttered.
"Sorry," I said sarcastically.
"Could you be quiet for a sec? I need to think of a new plan," Clarice said.
"Why don't you steal that perfume-y thing Fred-dork has, and at lunchtime, spray it on them both, so they like each other? It's kind of easy," I said.
"Yeah…" Clarice answered, thinking it over.
"You know how to pick a lock. You do it," Clarice said.
"Fine, I'll do it."
Okay, That was kind of short. But did you know in the first season theme song thing, it says, "Some things are meant to be"? And at that part, it shows Carly and Freddie! Hmmm…
