Ch 2

A/N: Second chapter up! x) I started to write this right after the first one because inspiration was fresh! Now please read and review.

Oh and-

ATTENTION! : I am thinking about changing my name to 'linesReAdlines' like 'read between the lines'. Get it? :) Tell me what to think. Now stop reading this gibberish and read the story! :D

Carly's POV

Walking into Groovie Smoothie after what happened just felt wrong. I walked past the table I was sitting at before and shivered deciding to sit at the one next to it. Once I sat down I studied the table's design and itched the back of my neck that was under my wet hair from the rain. At least the place was crowded. "Hey kiddo, wha-cha doin here?" I looked up to see Spencer holding three smoothies.

"Oh, hey. I was wondering where you were," I said managing a small smile.

"Well I was here, getting you and Freddie smoothies while you were nappin." Must everything remind me about the dream? "Hey—" He took the seat from across from me and slid over a smoothie. "—you ok, you seem a little out of whack."

"Out of whack?" I asked with a smirk.

"The out of wackiest!" I laughed and he took a sip of his smoothie. "But seriously, what's up?"

"Oh—" I traced the design on the table. "—nothing really. I just had a dream."

"Mhhm, what kind of dream?" he asked still sipping his smoothie.

"Well, you know. Just a pretty regular dream." He nodded. "WhereFreddielikedSam." Spencer just continued to nod. "I said 'where Freddie liked Sam'!"

"Oh, yeah, I know." A smirk played on his lips. I didn't like this.

"Aren't you surprised?" I raised my eyebrows when he shrugged.

"No, not really."

"Bu-bu-but why?" I said and my voice was rising. "How could you not be surprised that Freddie likes-liked Sam?"

"Hey, just tell me what happened in the dream and I'll tell you my reasons." I nodded.

"Ok fine." I leaned forward in my chair. "I was sitting at that table over there." I pointed to the table I was sitting at before that was now crowded with people. "You know minding my own business, drinking a smoothie and Freddie walked in. Then he started telling me about how we agreed to not date and he said I didn't need to worry about that anymore because he liked Sam."

"Fascinating." I glared at him.

"Then Sam came in all soaking wet and Freddie gave her his jacket and then she kissed him on the cheek! She just kissed him right here on the cheek!" I tapped my right cheek.

"And then you woke up?"

"Well, Freddie shirt changed to "I HEART SAM" instead of "I HEART HAM" and Sam was laughing evilly—" I took a deep breath. "—and then yes, I woke up. Now tell me why you think it's normal for Freddie to like Sam!"

"Well, I have my reasons." Spencer leaned forward and crossed his fingers of both hands together. "For one thing, Sam and Freddie fight all the time and you know that they say that guys and girls pick on each other for a reason."

"But Sam and Freddie aren't like that, they—"

"Nuh, uh, uh." Spencer held a finger up to my mouth. "No interrupting my reasons."

"But you interrupted my story!" I said swatting his hand away.

"So?"

"But—"

"No!"

"But—"

"Carly!"

"Fine!" I slumped back in my chair.

"Anyway!" Spencer glared at me. "Sam and Freddie may fight but they are friends. Even you can't deny that. And well, Sam is just an aggressive person, you accepted that and Freddie is accepting that too. Things have gotten better haven't they?"

"Well—" I started.

"Haven't they?" I sighed.

"Yeah, I guess." Spencer smiled.

"And you do also have a special bond with the first person you kissed." I held up my hand.

"Don't speak of it!"

"Carly, Freddie is not doing to wait around for you forever, you know?" I bit the inside of my cheek and looked away, then finally looked at Spencer who had a concerned look on his face. I sighed again.

"I know." Spencer nodded and leaned back in his chair. "So you really think they might like each other?" Spencer shrugged.

"Maybe—or maybe it just my pee talking because really have to go." Spencer got up and ran to the bathroom while doing a weird pee dance.

"Have a good pee!" I yelled after him.

"I'll try!" I laughed and drank my smoothie for a few moments before the door to Groovie Smoothie opened and Freddie and Sam walked in. Freddie's hair was wet like Sam's and she was wearing Freddie's jacket. My eyes grew wide. Was there still time to hide?

"There she is!" Sam yelled and they walked over to me. "God Carls, we were worried sick!" Freddie raised his eyebrows.

"Well I was, Miss Puckett Pot Pie over here wanted to go to Bob's Burritos and Beans," Freddie explained. Sam turned to Freddie with a frown on her face.

"You know what Benson? Maybe I thought a good burrito would cheer her up."

"Oh really now?"

"Yes Fredward!"

"Oh, I see how this is going to be!"

"What do you have against burritos?"

"Guys!" I yelled and they kept on bickering! "Guys!" I got up and stood between them. "Guys!"

"I do too like burritos!" Freddie yelled right as the room grew quiet. I watched Sam roll her eyes at him while saying "Nub," under her breath.

"Guys, come on now, stop fighting," I said. Maybe Spencer was wrong.

"I'll stop if he stops," Sam said pointing at Freddie.

"Well I'll stop if she stops," he said with a smug smile on his face.

"Not if you stop first!" I held out my hands.

"Guys, really?" I asked.

"Sorry," they both said simultaneously. I shook my head and made my way back over to my seat.

"Now seriously Carls, what's eaten' your pants?" Sam asked and she and Freddie both sat down.

"Nothing, it's nothing really, just—" I bit the inside of my cheek. "—can I ask you guys a question and you both answer it honestly."

"Sure."

"Shoot," Freddie said leaning forward.

"Ok, well, uh, do you two—." Spencer came bouncing out of the restroom with his hands filled with foaming soup.

"Carly, Carls! Carleto!" he yelled running up to the table. "Spell this soup, doesn't it smell like the piece of moldy fruit I found in the back of the fridge the other day." Spencer looked at Sam and Freddie. "Oh, I see I'm interrupting something." A smirk played on his lips as he started back up and foam dripped off his hands falling to the floor. "You love-birds have fun."

"Spencer," I said through clenched teeth.

"I'm goin'." Sam and Freddie both looked at each other with their eyebrows raised.

"Uh, what was that about?" Sam asked pointing behind her. They both studied me with curiosity in their eyes.

Thanks for reading this chapter! You guys rocked and thanks for the reviews!

Ok, now I have a few options for you:

I am going to start a new story soon and I have 3 ideas for a story. Which one should I complete writing first? –

1."iF You Really Knew Me" Summary: Challenge day comes to Ridgeway High School and suddenly everyone is seeing each other in a different light. Sam and Freddie find out they have more in common than they thought and Carly lets her true emotions show.

2."iJump For FiberNuts" Summery: Sam and Freddie compete in a jumping competition trying to win a certificate for a free month of food, while Spencer and Carly help Gibby follow his dream of becoming a shirtless male model.

3. (No title yet) Freddie wakes up and see's Spencer who claims to be the "Ghost of misunderstood guys' past". He takes Freddie into the past, present, and future to help decide to pick Carly, or Sam. P.S. If you guys have suggestions about the title, or the storyline I would love your help!
