Chapter 5: Shh... It's a Secret

A/N: I have something to say to "Meme" if she/he reviews again.

Freddie's POV

Phew! I did it. I got a ticket, wrote my name, put it in the clear bucket, and crawled out safely. I breathed heavily stumbling toward Sam and Aly. Sam tossed my bag to me. I looked back at the crowd. "Animals." I breathed out.

Ally, Sam, and I walked back to class.

Lunch (Carly's POV)

I sat down at the usual table, waiting for Sam and Freddie. I waited about Ten minutes until Freddie came.

"Finally! I've been waiting fooorrr...37 minutes now!" I said looking at the time on my phone. He sat down across from me. I wish he sat next to me. I hope he still likes me.

"Sorry. I was just talking with Sam and Aly." He said. "We're going to the Groovie Smoothies after school today since we haven't seen her in person for about...um...8 years? So we decided to hang out. Wanna come?"

So they were going to hang out with Alyson. But we have iCarly rehearsals. "What about iCarly rehearsals?"

"Oh, yea, that's the reason I'm here. Can we reschedule rehearsals?" He asks.

"Uh but-" he interrupts me.

"Thanks." He says as heruns out before the bell rings.

Why did Alyson have to come back? She should have stayed in…wherever she came from. She's taking my friends away from me.

I got up and walked to my next class thinking of how Iwill confess to Freddie.

Sam's POV

Alyson and I got back inside the school. We walked around during lunch with Freddie until we decided to hang out later at the Groovie Smoothie. So, Freddie, being the [Cute] dork he is, went to ask Carly about joining us. Aly and I got to our lockers. Her locker is between Carly's and mine.

"Um Sam?" Aly asks in a slight whisper.

"Yea?"

"About us being mermaids, we have to keep it a secret."

"Why?"

"Do you wanna end up in a circus? or...Be in a Freak Show?" My eyes widened. I, Samantha Puckett, shall NEVER be in a Circus or Freak Show!

"No. Definitely not." I answer whilst shaking my head.

"Then we have to keep it a secret. Oh, yea and don't touch or even go near water or any kind of liquid when you're in public. Because if you do then your tail will be revealed." I nod, my head.

"Got it. So we can't tell anybody." She nods. "What about Freddie?" Aly looks down rubbing a fist against her palm. She shakes her head.

"Even if he's our best friend, we can't tell him." I look down. I tell Freddie almost everything when we hang out together without Carly.

I always wish he and I could be more than friends though. I've always liked him since we were 8. Except yesterday…I found out I was in Love with him.

I guess 2 girls like/love Freddie. Who will win his heart?
