iTurn Back in Time
Chapter 7: iHold Hands
"Guess what Benson."
"Yeah?"
"I am hungry. And how am I supposed to get some food on Carly's fridge if I'm stuck with you like this?" She held our handcuffed hands in their air and dropped them in an instant. I know Sam, but sorry, I liked it this way.
"Come on." I stood up and raising our hands in the air so she could get up. But she wasn't giving any ounce of energy to stand on her own feet. "Saaaam?"
"Get me some food." She ordered as her eyes darted on me.
I rolled my eyes. "How could I get some in the fridge if you're just sitting here in the couch?"
She scratched her head. "Okay, okay!" Sam sighed and dragged her feet to the fridge. I walked with her because I couldn't let go of the handcuffing Carly did to us this morning. I sighed. "Hey, aren't you finished yet?"
Sam didn't respond. She was searching for food in the fridge with her free hand, setting aside the condiments at the side because she knew she wouldn't be needing them to tame her stomach. After a few moments standing in front of the food storage thing, she went to face me with a serious look on her face. "Freddifer, no food."
I cocked an eyebrow. "So?"
"We need to buy, duh?" She barked at me. My eyes widened.
"Buy? Outside? Sam, we're handcuffed!" Sam, don't tell me you're...
"I can see it, I'm not blind or anything. Now, give me some money and we're buying some food." She showed her hand, waiting for my wallet to land on it.
"No way." I shook my head. "Use your money. I am not hungry."
"You want a smack? Momma's hungry."
I gulped. "Okay, fine." We headed outside and decided to buy something at Inside-Out Burger. When we were going out of the building, I nudged her at her side. "Sam, we cannot let people see that we're handcuffed." I whispered in her ear.
"What are we gonna do, Fredwad?" She whispered back. I took her hand and and clasped it into mine. Our hands intertwined.
"What do you think you're doing, Freduciini!" She tried to let go of mine but but I fought back by holding it firmly.
"Just go with the flow!" I told her. I looked at her straight in the eyes but she looked away.
"Okay." She mumbled.
"Let's go." And we walked our way to Inside-Out. I hoped no one would see us doing this. When we reached the store, I opened the door for her with my free hand and both of us went to the counter. Before I could say anything, she opened her mouth and ordered. "Two burgers, two extra large fries and two upsized sodas."
"Wow, you really know what to buy." I beamed at her. This was so Sam.
"Shut up." She snarled at me. "I am really ashamed of myself because I am doing this," Emphasizing at the word, she held our hands up a little so I can see our hands. "Doing this...with you! I never even dreamt of doing this with a nub! And of all people...you!" She pointed a finger at me. "The king of the nubs."
I was just to defend myself from her when the lady on the counter spoke, "Here's your order miss. Oh are you two, you know together?" The lady asked.
"NO!" We yelled in unison. We looked at each other with disgusted faces. "Ew."
The lady in front of us giggled. "Teenage love, oh how sweet! You look perfect together. Enjoy your meal!" She gestured at the table near the window telling us to have a seat. She left and spoke with another employee and discussed things with her. I took the tray. "Sam, help me carry this."
She just took it without complaining. She didn't speak a word. I admit, I was quite surprised because I was expecting her to react violently. But no, she just took it quietly and helped me carrying our food to the table. We sat beside ecah other so we can hide our hands. Luckily at this moment, no one has even noticed we were holding hands. I was about to take a burger when she took the two of them and ate them just by herself. I ignored it and went to take the large fries instead. I was about to take it when she shove my hand away from it and took it-together with the other one. "I didn't order anything for you."
"What?"
Sam glared at me. "You didn't tell the lady from the counter to get you some food." Okay so, what's this Sam Puckett? What the hell?
"You're impossible Sam. Really impossible." I rolled my eyes. I tried to take the other fries from her but she wrestled my arm and bent it. "Oh my god Sam stop it! Ouch! It really hurts! Hey I mean it! Aw!" Oh god. I felt my hand breaking. I grimaced in pain when she let go of it.
"Next time, don't go stealing someone's food, Benson" I heard her say. I can feel that she was smirking. I wasn't looking at her. I was holding my wrist. "Nub, don't go overreacting. It doesn't hurt that much."
I ignored her. Really, this was way too much. It was really hurting. You're gonna pay for this Princess Puckett!
"Freducation, you..you alright?" She pulled the shirt of my sleeve.
"Do you think I look okay?" I growled at her. Jeez, I'm not kidding. It's damn painful! "You broke my wrist!"
"Whatever."
Oh my god. I can't believe this. I regretted going back to the past. Hey, this didn't even happen in my world! This wasn't an alternate universe or something,this was hell!
"Hey, you want some burger?"
I ignored her.
Sam called for my attention."Freddie?"
I glanced at her. She said...Freddie? Holy neptune. "What did you say?"
She raised her eyebrows. "Y-you want some burger?"
I stared at her. "No, the other one. After that."
She licked her lips. "F-freddie?"
My eyes widened. "You called me Freddie? Just Freddie?"
Her eyebrows met at the center. "What's wrong with that?"
I laughed."That was something unexpected. Normally, you'll call me names. And you won't even bother asking me if I want some." Do you think Sam's already looking at me in a different light? Because I do. I was kind of overwhelmed when she called my name. You know, just Freddie. It sounded like I meant something to her.
She looked away. "What the hell's wrong with you!" I leaned at her trying to catch a glimpse of her face. You won't believe this: she was blushing.
"Oh Sam, just admit that you're in love with me." I joked. I was really happy. I finally knew that she was thinking about me-in a different way. At least I wasn't just nothing. I was something.
"Nyeeeh." She stuck out her tongue.
I imitated her. "Nyeeeh." I just found ourselves having a good time with each other. You know, just laughing. I was actually having fun with Sam Puckett. The Sam was something that didn't happen in my world. I was starting to realize that this world seemed to be so different.
We got back to Carly's house after an hour or two. We were still holding hands when we arrived at the door. I opened it for the two of us. I closed the door behind me when we were already inside and Carly hugged us. "Hi guys, welcome back!"
We both looked at Carly while she was hugging us. Then I heard something click. When she pulled away, I saw my hand being freed from th handcuffed which seemed like forever before Carly unlocking the lock.
"Woohoo!" Sam put her hands in the air and danced. "I'm now finally free from Freducation! Woohoo!" Oh Sam, admit it that you liked it. I know you did. I smirked as I kept my thoughts to myself. So that's why Carly hugged us.
We watched a movie together, sat on the couch while eating popcorn, Sam's favorite snack whenever watching something in front of the t.v. It was a film called "The First Kiss" and I thought it really sucked. When the film ended, the three of us got up and went to the iCarly studio, talking about the stupid movie.
"So Sam," Carly paused to walk around Sam like she was interrogating her or something. Plus, her arms crossed adds more mood to the atmosphere. Good work Carly.
"Who is your first kiss?"
I tried not to laugh. I bit my lip so I can prevent myself from laughing but I can't help it. Something went out of my mouth. It sounded like a snort. I knew Sam's going to lie about this one. Uh-oh, Sam noticed me. She was glaring at me. "What's with the stupid laugh, Fredella? Are you thinking that I am not girly enough to be kissed? For your information, I have already kissed someone!" I can see her nostrils flaring up.
Oh Sam, we both knew that you weren't being true to yourself. You're lying. "I didn't say anything." I shrugged. I turned away. Can't help but laugh. I can still feel Sam's deadly glare. Oh no.
"Sam, don't change the topic please." I heard Carly say. Oh thank you so much for saving me, Carly. I turned around again to see Sam's reaction. I can sense that this was going to be fun. Shoot, Sam was time this day. How cute.
"My first kiss was Buddy Hinton." Thought so. Told ya she's going to lie. "How 'bout you Carly, who's your first kiss?" Sam asked her this time. She wanted out of this real quick.
Carly walked around the room slowly, putting her arms around her like she was embracing herself. She talked with dreamy eyes, sparkling and shimmering under the light. She crossed her fingers and looked up high on the ceiling. "The lucky boy is named Ben Huebscher. When I felt his lips crush into mine, I was-"
"GONNA GET SOME FRIED CHICKEN!" Sam cut her off. It was completely obvious that she was doing that to make Carly shut her mouth and irk her. I thought she was so lucky because she had a best friend who's patient and was willing to take some jokes. If Carly was a war freak, I bet they already tried to kill off each other. Instead, Carly just sighed and ignored her. Lucky Sam. Thank you Carly. Sam stormed out of the room while humming the tune of Not That Far Away. She left the door behind her ajar, and I saw Carly walked a tad step toward me. "So, Freddie, who's yours?"
"My...?" I trailed off, putting up an innocent face. I was pretending to be clueless. That seemed to work though.
"Oh, come on. Your first kiss." She grinned. Oh. this was the moment. Sam must be listening. I have to make my voice louder.
"No one."
Carly paused, her expression a little bit surprised. "Wait...what?" Then she laughed. "Stop kidding me, Freddie. I know it's Valerie. She is the one, isn't she? Just admit it!"
I shook my head, faking my sad expression. "No one. I am telling the truth, Carly. Believe me or not, it's true."
She gasped as she put her hands over her mouth. "Oh gosh Freddie, you still haven't..."
"Kissed a girl. Yeah." I finished her sentence. I knew you were listening, Sam. You were listening.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..." Carly smiled at me apologetically.
I gave her a fake skeptical look. "Sorry for what?" Woah. I thought I was doing a great job here. Maybe I could work as an actor someday. No, I would be the one to produce my own show. And it's about my life. I mean, life with my best friends. Someone like Nathan Kress should play the role as the super cool tech savy Freddie. The leading lady should be Jennette McCurdy or Miranda Cosgrove. No, I prefer Jennette. And there will be a love triangle. Yes! Nathan Kress' rival must be...Noah Munck? Oh wait, he fits for Gibby's character! Great! And Spencer will be played by Jerry Trainor. Dude, that guy's awesome. Wait, maybe I could also pass as a scriptwriter? Or the one who casts characters? Wow, epic win!
"I am sorry for you because you haven't kissed anyone yet." Carly looked at her feet.
"Nah, it's okay. I'll be kissing someone soon." I grinned.
"What did you say again?"
I looked away. "N-nothing! Uh, I think I should get some fried chicken!"
The next morning I left for school, I didn't drop by to Carly's house to pick her up. She said that she has to pass some project so she really has to be there earlier than usual. I walk alone to school and went to my locker. When I unlocked the password, I noticed a crowd beginning to form in the area of the bulletin board. I ignored them. Some lame announcement, I guess.
"BENSON!"
I looked around the hall. It was the blonde demon-Sam.
Before I could even react, she dragged me all the way to the bulletin board, holding the collar of my blue striped shirt. I noticed that she was actually wearing red stipes. I thought she hated stipes? Perfect. If she starts to notice me in stripes, she's gonna hate me more than ever.
"Look at this." She dropped me to the floor. I got up and excused myself from the crowd. Unintentionally, I held her hand and dragged her as I looked at it. I just noticed that I was doing that to her when she let go of mine. My jaw dropped. There, in the shiny, colorful printed stickers were the words:
"Samantha Puckett and Fredward Benson-Secretly Dating?"
With exclusive photos from their secret date.
Uh-oh. Big trouble.
