Okay I'm getting so many lovely reviews at the moment that I can't stop getting more and more ideas. Hope you enjoy this one, I enjoyed writing it! :D


"What are you doing here Sam?" Freddie said, almost dropping Scott. He nearly pinched himself for fear he was in some sort of weird dream.

Sam only said three words. "Take it back."

Freddie was careful not to approach her too quickly. Instead he fiddled with Scott's clothes and hovered near the bedroom door. "Take what back?"

Sam got up and took Scott from Freddie's grasp. He could at least have the decency to face her when she was trying to talk to him. "What you said at the dance. Take it back."

The boy looked at her as if she had lost her mind. "No."

Sam was done with talking sensibly. She chucked Scott onto the bed and shoved Freddie in the shoulder. "Take it back!"

Freddie wasn't going to back down like he usually did. "NO!"

"I broke up with Kyle. He deserves someone better than me," said Sam trying a different approach. It was hard to maintain anger for long periods of time. Especially when she hadn't had her second dinner yet.

"Or he deserves someone who's not in love with me. I know you like me Sam. My mom told me," said Freddie hiding his surprise at this new nugget of information.

Sam looked towards the door and narrowed her eyes. Sometimes anger just couldn't be controlled. No matter how hungry you were. "Oh...I'm going to kill that woman."

Freddie held down both her arms to stop her from charging out the room. "Sam. She was just trying to protect you. I was going to tell you how I felt and she told me not to."

Freddie's confession resulted in a scoff from the girl. "Well she was right. You shouldn't have said anything." Sam's eyes were still narrowed but at least she didn't feel the need to punch Mrs Benson in the face.

"Why?" Freddie thought that all girls liked to be told that a guy was in love with them. He should have known Sam would be different.

"Let's put it this way; If Carly was standing right here and she confessed that she was in love with you would you tell her you loved her back?"

Freddie didn't understand. Why was Sam talking about Carly at a time like this? "What has that got to do with anything?"

Sam shook her head and smiled sadly at the guy. "It's got to do with everything. Don't you get it? You will always choose Carly over me."

Freddie paused. He didn't quite know what to say. Finally he spoke. "You don't know that."

The three seconds that he took to reply told Sam a lot. "Yeah I do."

Freddie needed to change his tactic. He knew Sam couldn't resist a challenge. "You know what I think? I think you are too scared to admit that you want to be my girlfriend as much as I want to be your boyfriend."

"God Freddifer, could you sound anymore like a girl!" For a couple of seconds it felt nice for Sam to tease him. She walked back to the bed and sat down, smoothing her dress. She had come straight from the dance and the shoes were killing her feet. She jerked her head to the bed space next to her, indicating that she wanted Freddie to sit down. Freddie obliged.

There was a few minutes of silence. Both teenagers didn't know what to say, but neither of them wanted the conversation to halt. In the end it was Freddie who broke the silence. "Kiss me." It was the same question that he had asked Carly at the fair.

Sam turned her face towards him. "WHAT?" Didn't anything she had just said go into his brain?

Freddie's eyes searched hers but she was impossible to read through the confusion of his request. "I dare you to kiss me. I know you feel something between us."

Sam lent over and gave him a chaste, one second, kiss. "I felt nothing," she said lying. She loved kissing him. It was so different to kissing Kyle. Kyle hadn't made her stomach do weird flip-flops. And it wasn't the bad kind that you got from licking swing-sets or eating Persian chocolates. It was the good kind. And that scared her a little bit.

Although Freddie couldn't quite read her he knew she wasn't telling the truth. "I know your lying."

"Fine. I like making out with you. That's it." Sam fished a meatball from her purse and chewed on it. She wasn't going to commit to any more than that.

Freddie's eyebrows rose. "Seriously? You're eating a meatball at a time like this."

"At a time like what?" She chewed with mock innocence.

She was so frustrating. "What are you doing here Sam? To tell me you broke up with Kyle and that you don't love me back? Well you've done that. You can leave now." Freddie turned away so he didn't have to watch her leave a second time that night.

Sam thumped him. "I'm the one that loves you! You're the one that doesn't."

Freddie couldn't believe that they were going around in circles. "I DO love you."

Sam swallowed her chewed up meatball before speaking. "As much as you love Carly?"

Freddie didn't say anything and Sam knew that she got the answer she wanted. "I want a divorce."

"What?"

"I want a divorce and I want full custody of Scott. I'll tell Miss Briggs first thing on Monday." Sam got up off of the bed but Freddie wasn't letting her go that easily.

"You can't just divorce me. That's not part of the assignment."

"Well I'll make it part of the assignment," said Sam in a determined tone.

Freddie concluded that there was no reasoning with the girl. "You're insane, do you know that?"

"Well you just insulted yourself," said Sam grinning.

"And how'd you figure that?"

Sam's grin got wider. "Because you're saying you're in love with an insane girl."

"AGH! Why don't you leave already!" Freddie was virtually screaming in her face. He couldn't help it. The girl wound him up so much.

Sam screamed back with as much effort. "Fine I will! And you better sign those divorce papers."

Freddie was confused again. When were divorce papers mentioned? "What divorce papers?"

"The one's I'm going to give you. Keep up Fredderly. Man, you really aren't that smart are you?"

"I thought you were going?" said Freddie in a mocking tone.

"I am. I just want to say goodnight to my son if that's okay with you," said Sam copying what Freddie had said earlier that evening.

"Go for it."

Sam walked back over to the bed and picked up Scott. She rocked him gently and kissed him on the forehead wasting as much time as possible just to annoy Freddie that little bit more. Placing him back down on the bed she spoke to the doll. "Aww...don't worry, I know you have to stay with your daddy tonight but soon you won't ever have to come back here again."

Freddie rolled his eyes. It seemed like he was doing that a lot lately. He couldn't resist having one last little jibe. "Not going to say goodnight to your husband then?"

Catching him completely off guard, Sam kissed Freddie lightly on the lips. "Goodnight Hubby," she said hoping to get a rise out of him.

And she was right. Freddie was fuming. He couldn't handle being kissed like that. Now that he was stronger and the fact that Sam hadn't seen it coming he managed to back her against the wall before mashing his lips against hers. Ssm tried to protest at first but then realised this was probably the last time that she was ever going to kiss the nub. She figured that she could at least make the most of it. Though Freddie was astonished that she was willingly kissing him back and there was no way that he was stopping her.

And so the make-out session continued for another fifteen minutes, all the while getting hotter and heavier. Just as Freddie's pants were starting to become a little tighter, Sam suddenly jerked her lips away from Freddie's. "WHAT ARE WE DOING!? This is not happening." She pushed the boy off of her and grabbed her purse.

Freddie flopped onto his bed panting from all the making out. "You can't do that to a guy. It's just plain cruel."

Sam refrained from speaking and headed to the door.

Freddie was now begging. "No, no, no, no! You can't just leave."

Sam didn't even face him as she spoke. "Watch me."

Freddie groaned into his pillow. He was going to have to have a cold shower.

This girl was killing him.


Sam was wrong when she thought that Miss Briggs would understand. But then what had she expected? The woman was never going to be reasonable. The only out she had was to accept the woman's ridiculous demand of having a custody hearing for Scott. It was going to be much harder than just finishing the assignment but Sam couldn't stand the thought of being married, even fake married, to Freddie.

That Tuesday the classroom was turned into a court room with Miss Briggs as the judge, and the rest of the class as the jury. Both Sam and Freddie would have to plead their case and the jury would decide who would be the better parent and therefore be granted full custody of Scott.

Freddie couldn't believe that Sam was doing this. Did she hate him that much? He didn't understand why she wanted to hurt him like this. The whole school already knew that Sam had rejected him at the dance and now it was as if she was just rubbing salt into the wounds. He wasn't going to back down. If she was going to do this, he was going to fight for Scott. No sane person would let Sam keep Scott.

"Class. Quieten down please," said Miss Briggs as she walked into the classroom. "As you know, Miss Puckett and Mr Benson have been having disagreements with each other and like many parents, have decided that it would be best if they raised their child separately."

Sam smiled at the teacher gratefully. Getting on the good side of the judge was never a bad thing.

Freddie could see exactly what Sam was doing. She couldn't manipulate Miss Briggs like that. It wasn't fair. When they were both called forward to the front of the room, Freddie scanned the faces of his classmates. All of them were looking nervously at Sam as she gave an almost warning-like look to each and every one of them. Freddie couldn't believe it. She was scaring them into siding with her. This was never going to be a fair trial.

As Miss Briggs took roll-call, Freddie took another quick glance at Sam. He could clearly see the words, 'you're going down' being mouthed at him.

If he had to go down, he was going down fighting. He mouthed two words back at her.

'Bring it.'


I felt like it was time they had a proper make out session. I know lots of you have been saying Freddie is a stupid-head but i promise he will redeem himself. Just not quite sure how. LOL!!
