Hey, I know it's been beyond forever since I updated this story but my last review was so sweet, I just had to. So, I know it's really short but I still think it's some cute seddieness and this is kind of a test to see if anybody will still read this. So, if you want another chapter, you HAVE to comment! And I typed it up fast so sorry if there are any mistakes! And this dumb site won't let me put 2 or more exclamation points or question marks so I had to put spaces between them. Anyway, here ya go!

The distinct sound of clicking high heels filled the room as Sam and Carly finally came downstairs. And unlike Sam had requested, Seddie was the only thing on the tip of Carly's tongue.

"Just know, Sam, there is absolutely no reason for you to be jealous of that letch just because she thinks she's all that and a bowl of Fiber Nuts."

Sam raised a freshly plucked eye brow, "...Fiber Nuts?"

"It's a quality cereal!" She replied defensively.

"Don't worry, Carls, I'll be totally fine," She reached for the door knob, "...As long as I don't look at him."

Carly was about to follow her out when Spencer called, trampling down steps in urgency, "You forgot your purse! ! !"

"I always do that!" Carly grumbled to herself, hurrying back inside.

And just as the Shay's door's shut, another one opened. The one on the opposite side of the hall.

"Shit," Mumbled Sam, looking down hastily to keep up with her plan, "I mean, uh, it's you."

Freddie sighed, "Yeah, it's always me...Look, I know if you wanted to, you could make me miserable all night but...I don't want that." He set his hand on her cheek and directed her eyes into his, before continuing to speak in a tone as gentle as his touch. "So, just for tonight, can we pretend everything's okay?"

After a pause, she nodded because how could she say no? "Why not?" She shrugged, "I'm great at pretending." She uncollasped the shiny, silver locket she was holding. "Now, help me get this on, Freddope."

The nervous blonde gave it to him and faced Carly's doorway, grabbing a handful of her smooth, blonde hair and moving it in front of her shoulder. She held her breath as she felt his fingers brush aside a last few strands from her neck. His arms fell over her head to wrap the locket around and collasp it together, before he let his hand run slowly down her bare back.

She reached back and covered his hand with hers, before turning around. They both simply watched as their fingers began instinctively intertwining together...over and over again.

Then, their eyes locked. Their hearts raced. Their hands grabbed each other, forcing each other closely, rushing their heads forward...

"Ready? !" Carly threw open the door.

Their foreheads bashed, "Ooooowwwww! ! ! ! !"

"O-oh my god, are you guys okay? ?" Their apologetic best friend blurted out in concern, "I'll go back inside. Please continue!

"Carly, it's fine," Sam minced words as she rubbed her temples. But, inside, she promised herself she would never let him miss again.
