iAm A Sea Creature

Chapter 4: Raffle

Carly's POV

"Yup! She's back!"

"Who's back?" I ask as I see my 2 best friends talking by the lockers.

"Oh, just a friend of Freddie and I." Sam says to me.

A friend? They have another friend and I didn't even know about her/him. I didn't even know they had a friend that I didn't know. Okay, yea I'm a little jealous, but they never told me about a friend of theirs. I'm jealous because I don't wanna lose my best friends and about 2 days ago I found out that I like Freddie. And since he likes me, I thought that it wouldn't be a problem asking him out, but I have to do it at the right time and not around Sam. Sam and Freddie have been warming up to each other (even though she still calls him names) and I don't want to become a third wheel. UGH! how do I always go off subject?!

'Well, what WOULD happen if you got with Freddie? Sam would feel like a third wheel.' A voice in my head said.

'Well, I like Freddie and he likes me so-'

'Did you ever think that maybe Freddie's crush on you has died down? He Has stopped flirting with you for a while...'

'I don't believe you.'

'Fine. Suit yourself.'

"Carly?" a hand was waved in front of my face. "Helloooo?" I shook my head.

"Oh. Sorry. Must've spaced out." I said. "So. Who's this friend of yours?"

"Hey Guys!" I heard someone call behind me. I saw Sam's face change to more happiness and Freddie's face change to shock but his lips had a hint of a smile.

"Aly!" Sam yelled as she ran up to the red velvet cupcake haired girl and hugged her.

"Alyson! I can't believe you're here!" Freddie said and hugged her too. Them hugging someone else got me more jealous, but I tried to hide it.

Freddie let go and Sam spoke. "Oh! Alyson, this is Carly. Carly, this is Alyson; The friend we were talking about." I smiled polity at her.

"Hi." She waved at me.

"Hello." I waved back. When I was about to ask something, Mr. Howard came in the hall with a bullhorn and pressed a button that made everyone cover their ears. We uncovered them and Mr. Howard started to speak.

"Okay Hooligans. I have an announcement to make." You're finally going to crawl inside a box and cry about how miserable your life is? Oh no. There goes my mean side again. Stupid jealousy! "There will be a raffle going on. Five of you can win a trip to sea...again." He shows us a clipboard and walks to a wall and hangs it up. "That sheet has tickets to write your name on. After you do that, you would put it in this bucket." He showed us a bucket on the floor. I think that's stupid cause it'll just get knocked down. "Now I-" he didn't get to finish his sentence because all the kids rushed to the clipboard, knocking him down.

"Déjà vu much." I hear Sam say. I laugh. I smirk and look towards Freddie knowing what he's going to do next since he couldn't go last time. He takes out a pen and hands his bag to Sam. UGH! I wish he handed it to ME!

"I'm going in." Freddie's says. He cries out, like a leader of an army would do to start a war, and runs toward the tickets. I see Alyson lean in to Sam's ear and speak.

"He never changed did he?" Sam shakes her head 'no' with her eyebrows raised at Freddie and trying to hold back her laughter. The bell rings. I head off to class while Sam and Alyson wait for Freddie.

I wonder who would win the raffle. Maybe Freddie again. Along with whoever the other 4 would be.
