Yeah, this chapter is short, sorry. I'll try to make it longer next time, I promise! Don't forget to review! I love seeing my inbox clogged up with new reviews! I love you guys so much! 333 ^_^
I wanted to pitch myself off the top of my roof. I knew I couldn't though. I would break Carly's heart, but not Freddie's. Aw, crap! I was thinking of that Fredward again! My heart was already throbbing like crazy. I still hadn't sorted out my feelings for Freddie yet. I ran to my house, wiping the tears out of my eyes so I could see. I finally reached my house after several horrible minutes of crying and sniffling like an idiot. I opened the door to my house and ran up into my room.
"Puckett, what are you doing?" my mother screamed as I locked myself up in my room.
I screamed several profanities at her. Oh crap. If my stomping upstairs didn't piss her off, this surely would. I only thought of my sore stomach, my anger at Carly's dating Freddie, and the confused feeling about Freddie. What was it about him that made my heart skip a beat when he talked to me? Why did my stomach lurch whenever our hands accidentally touched? Why was it that when he offered to carry my books, my head would spin and I would throw them at him? Why was it that I suddenly started to kiss him, even though he clearly didn't love me?
I wiped the tears out of my eyes and suddenly my cell phone started ringing. Who was it? I couldn't hear my mother coming up the stairs, so I answered it immediately, trying to get rid of the shakiness in my voice. To my surprise, it was Carly.
"Sam, I have a huge secret to tell you!" she squealed excitedly.
Dammit; I already knew what her little secret was. "Go ahead, tell me," I announced in a dull voice. I didn't want to reveal any of the frenzied emotions I was actually feeling.
"Freddie and I made out behind the school earlier today! And then he asked to be my girlfriend! Isn't this great! I can take Freddie to the dance and make Griffin totally jealous!"
Wait, what? Carly's so-called "bad boy" boyfriend? She was using Freddie so she could win Griffin's heart back? I swore under my breath.
"What?" Carly asked me.
I felt my body began to convulse with rage. How dare she use Freddie, a boy who loved her, just for her own selfish needs? What a…I couldn't describe what I was feeling at the moment. It was between pure fury and heartbreak for Freddie. I clenched my hands so they resembled large fists. I felt like punching a hole in the wall.
"You're using Freddie," I spat. "You're using him so you can go out with Griffin."
Carly's end of the line paused. "Well, duh! Do you think I actually like that geek as a boyfriend? You've got to be kidding me, Sam."
"How could you do this?" I screamed angrily. "You stupid sleaze bucket, Freddie actually loves you!"
Carly started cussing me out. "Oh, shut up! It's not like you care about him...think about it! You're always hitting him, screaming at him, and acting like a jerk to him! You should be supporting this!"
"Well, I'm not," I hissed. "You…disgust me, dude."
Carly started screeching at me again. "Well...back at you!"
"Great comeback, you stupid girly-girl," I said acidly. It felt as though all of my resentment I had towards Carly was flowing out of me like a waterfall. "Go back to caking your face with make-up!"
"TAKE THAT BACK!" Carly screamed. "I am not a girly-girl!
I hung up the phone on her. I knew what I needed to do. I had to warn Freddie before he got his heart broken like myself. Was I in love with Fredward Benson, a.k.a. Nub King? I had no damn idea.
