Day 77 of 100 Days of Seddie Challenge: iHear
Freddie POV
I didn't mean to eavesdrop, it just kind of happened. For one thing about what I heard I was terrified, shocked and actually insanely happy about what I heard Sam tell Carly. She didn't say the exact words but it was close enough for me anyway. I decided that I wouldn't bring it up for a bit so that I could play around with what I knew.
You're probably wondering about what I know, aren't you? I'm guessing that you just nodded. If you haven't then nod so that I don't sound like an idiot telling you all when you're not actually interested. Have you nodded now? Good.
So it all started on a Tuesday afternoon, which in my opinion was the worst day of the week. Always has been, always would be. Or so I thought. This Tuesday was the only exception. Well I was just minding my own business walking down the corridor, going to my locker to get my books out for my next class when I saw Carly and Sam in a heated discussion. Carly looked quite amused but Sam looked irritated. An irritated Sam was never the best Sam to talk to, so I just stood out of sight but listened. Plus Sam was never irritated at Carly so whatever they were talking about had to be important.
"He makes me feel things all the time! Stuff I don't understand! That boy doesn't know when to just stop," Sam said to Carly.
Oh, so she was irritated with a guy. But who? For some reason my stomach dropped at the thought of her talking to Carly about a guy.
"Sam you're the one that always picks on him, you're probably annoying him more than he's annoying you," Carly said, still smiling a knowing smile.
"That's the thing – he doesn't annoy me. Well he does, but I don't mind him annoying me as long as I get to torment him back, but that's the point I'm trying to make. The fact that I like him annoying me is annoying!"Sam looked at Carly like she was hoping Carly would understand but Carly was basically blank. "It's hard to explain." Sam slammed her locker door shut to let out the anger that was boiling up in her. You could practically see steam coming out of her ears.
"You need to calm down, Sam, you're overrating a lot," Carly said, trying to reason with whatever Sam was trying to say to her.
Who was Sam talking about anyway? I should probably have stopped listening as it was nothing to do with me, but the fact that she liked that someone was annoying her made me stay. Jealousy was for some reason growing inside my chest and I didn't like the feeling. I don't like things I can't explain.
"You would be overreacting too if you were dreaming about some nub every night and you have no idea why! Dang it!" Sam screamed the last bit which earned her confused looks from a few kids. She practically growled at them and in the true tradition, they ran away practically crying. For some reason this made me chuckle out loud. Thank God I wasn't heard.
"I can't believe it," Carly said in a shocked realisation to something.
"What?" Sam asked worriedly.
"You actually..." Carly's eyes were glistening as if she were calculating something.
"What?!" Sam shouted at Carly, grabbing hold of Carly's shoulders and shaking her.
Carly wasn't fazed by this. "So you can't stop thinking about him?"
"Nope," Sam said. This made my stomach drop even more. She can't stop thinking about some guy that I may or may not know...I felt sick.
"And you like being with him, even though he annoys you?" Carly recalled.
"I wouldn't say I like being with him, but to save arguments and me getting more annoyed, yes, that is true," Sam said quite slowly.
"I think I've worked it out," Carly said.
"What's the verdict, kid? I can't take this anymore. He makes me feel so much stuff that I don't understand! Urgh," Sam cried out in exasperation.
"You like Freddie," she said simply.
Wait, what?! Me? She was talking about some other Freddie wasn't she? Or was she really talking about me? What was going on? Sam couldn't like me! Not at all! It wasn't even possible, she'd hated me since we first met all those years ago and now I'm hearing that Carly thinks that Sam liked me. Where did this suddenly come from?
And then it dawned on me. I was the one they had been talking about the whole time. I had just been listening to a heated discussion and whether or not Sam liked me and the confusing feelings I was making her feel. Well that was...unexpected.
"W-what?!" Sam spluttered, "I do not like Freddie! He's a nerd who annoys me twenty-four-seven and still sleeps with a night light! Call me crazy, but I don't think I like Freddie," Sam finished.
"You do," Carly said firmly. "Think about it Sam, just for a minute."
Sam did as she was told and considered every possibility. At least I hoped she was doing that instead of thinking of how many ways she could kill me.
She looked at Carly with concerned eyes. "Do I?" she was basically whispering now.
"I think you do," Carly said, placing a hand on Sam's shoulder. "You don't have to say the words right now and then you can admit how right I am about everything in your life. You're lucky to have a friend like me."
"Okay, thanks Carls," Sam said, still looking a bit worried at the new information she needed to process.
Behind the wall that I was hiding behind, I was secretly partying by myself. Sam Puckett might possibly like me. And she was coming to terms with that. I smiled bigger than I had ever smiled before.
It didn't bother me that she didn't say the words, but it helped me to clear some of my own feelings. I think I liked her, too. I would always (or half the time) annoy her on purpose just to get a reaction out of her. It didn't exactly help me medically wise but it meant that she had a reason to talk – or yell – at me, and that was the reason why I did it. It was only then that I realised myself why I did it:
Sam liked me in a way, and I liked her.
I could use this information for both of our expenses now. It would make her squirm and it would make me smile if I asked her something about myself. If she really did like me then she'd hopefully react in a way that would make it clearer to me and maybe to her as to whether she liked me. Only then I would tell her how I felt back. And then everything would be perfect.
Have any of you guys heard of Hunter Hayes? If you haven't, you should listen to him! He has the cutest country voice that I have ever heard.
Oh, and has anyone heard of the band Paramore? Their new song Still Into You is beyond perfect. Listen to it if you have the chance! It's so good! If you're one of those people who aren't too sure about rock bands, don't worry. This song is more pop-y than they've ever done before but it is truly amazing.
Anyway, review! :D
