Twitching: It was almost unnoticable how she twitched away from him.
No one had ever notice her reaction as he came closer to her, no one had ever paid attention.
But I did.
It's strange that I of all people would noticed, but I cared about Sam, and honestly, it wasn't that hard to see. And yet nobody saw it.
Sam and Freddie had always stood as a wall together while Carly stood alone, but only lately had he noticed that as the boy absentmindedly leaned into the girl's side, the blond girl would unvoluntarily flinch away.
Her face was impassive since the break up, or so everyone thought. I knew I had to talk to her; that it was the only way to get the truth.
"Sam," I asked, "Would you come and talk with me?"
The blond raised an eyebrow with a very skeptical look on her face.
"It's urgent."
She shrugged and followed my up to the iCarly studio.
"What do you want Spencer?" she asked, crossing her arms and witdrawing from any possible feelings.
"I want to talk about Freddie," I tell her.
She tensed, "What do you want to talk about him for?"
"Sam," I said, "I've seen you lately...I see what you do."
"And what is that?" she snapped.
"You can't stand being around him."
"I never did," she sneered.
I raised a skeptical eyebrow, "Oh really? Just a couple weeks you were dating him. And it's not only that you can't be around him...you physically twitch away from him. Sam, something's definately wrong."
"Yeah," Sam replied, "Your bothering me about something that already happened, something that cannot be fixed."
"Sam, everything can be fixed except death," I said sternly, "Why do you have that reaction to him?"
"I don't have to answer that," Sam said and turned to leave.
I grabbed her by the arm and turned her around, "You need to talk about it. If not, nothing's ever going to get better."
"What do you want me to say? That I still love Freddie? That I want to get back together with him? That it hurts me to be around him because I know that he despite it all he doesn't feel the same?" exclaimed Sam, her voice cracking slightly, "Is that what you wanted?"
I felt bad that I had made her so angry, but she needed to let it all out.
"No," I replied, "That's not what I wanted, I want for you to be honest with yourself. Stop with the anger. Stop with the sarcasm. You have to talk about how you feel with someone or else you will explode!"
She raised a blond eyebrow at my last exclaimation, which I have to admit, was a little over the top. She sighed and turned to look at me.
"Alright Dr. Spence, what do you want to know."
I smiled as she sat down on the beanbag chair, now we were gonna get some closure!
I still have issues believing the quickness and wishy-washyness of the Seddie break up. Oh, well... c'est la vie!
