iSummer, chapter 7iCarly – iSummer, chapter 7″What’s up Carls?” Sam asked as she came into the door.Carly was sitting on the couch. She turned to face Sam and patted the couch where she wanted Sam to sit.Sam took a seat next to Carly.”Mel keeps changing the subject to just making up some excuse and leaving whenever I try to talk to her about her and me.” Carly blurted out.”Oh.” Sam said. “So?””So?” Carly asked as she quickly stood up. “Sam, I’m trying to talk to her about something serious.””Maybe Mel doesn’t want to talk about it. Think if it were you. What if you told someone you liked them and they told you they didn’t like you? Would you want to talk about it with them?””I never said I didn’t like Melanie.””So you do like her?” Sam asked. “In the way she likes you?””I don’t know. This is exactly why I want to talk to her. I’m confused, Sam.””I think before you talk to Mel you should be one hundred percent sure on what you are going to say.” Sam told her. “I mean, you already broke her heart once.””I broke her heart?””Yeah.”Carly started pacing the floor.”She hasn’t acted heartbroken.””She hides it well.” Sam said, leaning back on the couch. “It’s a Puckett family trait, apparently.”Carly slumped down on the couch and buried her face into the pillow.”I don’t know what I’m going to do. This is new karabük rus escort to me.”Sam reached over and put her hand on Carly’s shoulder.”Come on k*ddo. Tell me what you’re thinking.”Carly didn’t respond.Sam groaned. “Okay, I told Mel to act the way she has been acting.”Carly sat up. “What?””I told Mel that she should play it cool around you and act like she never told you about her feelings. She didn’t want to at first and to be honest, I didn’t know if she could pull it off or not but she obviously has and it has obviously worked. It’s got you wanting to be with her, right?””Sam!””Well. It worked, did it not? You want to be with Mel?””Let’s say that she and I get together. What are we going to do when the summer is over with and I go back to USC and she goes back to NYU? This is a whole lot of complicated, Sam. I told myself that I wasn’t going to see anyone while back in Seattle because I knew I would just have to leave again and I don’t want to have some summer fling.””That’s something for you and Melanie to talk about.” Sam said as she stood up from the couch. “I’m hungry.” She added as she made her way toward the kitchen.Carly followed her. “How can I talk to her about it when every time I try to bring it up, she leaves?””I’ll talk to her and make karabük rus escort bayan sure she stays next time, okay?” Sam said, digging into the refrigerator. “You want a sandwich?””No I don’t want a sandwich.” Carly responded as she took her phone out of her pocket.”Listen Carls if you tell Mel that you want to be with her but can’t because when the summer ends you two have to go back to school, you may as well not tell her anything. That’s a pretty lame excuse for not being with anyone.” Sam said as she squirted mustard on her sandwich.Carly looked up from her phone. “No it’s not. Long distance relationships never last.””You’ve known Melanie for as long as you’ve known me. It would work for you two and besides, there are always phones, internet, and holidays… things like that.””What about you?” Carly asked. “Do you want me and Melanie to see each other?””If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be helping you guys.” Sam said as she put the finishing touches on her sandwich and took a bite.”I’m scared.” Carly admitted.”You once told me, ‘Go for it. Make a move,’ so now I’m telling you. Go for it. Make a move.”* * *Freddie was sitting at the Groovy Smoothie by himself since Sam had left to talk to Carly a few minutes prior. He was finishing up his blueberry blitz rus escort karabük smoothie when Melanie walked in.”Oh hey Freddie.” She said, noticing him.”Hey Mel. How are you? I haven’t seen you in a couple of days.””To be honest, I’ve been better. Of course you know Sam has me playing hard to get with Carly.” Melanie said as she took a seat across from Freddie.Freddie nodded and sucked on his smoothie.”It’s difficult. Carly wants to talk to me about it and I have to keep ignoring her on the subject.””Well Carly texted Sam about 10 minutes ago.””Is that where she’s at?” Melanie asked.Freddie nodded again.”I hope that Sam doesn’t upset her anymore.””Sam is Carly’s best friend. I bet she is getting Carly to realize her feelings for you.””Wouldn’t that be great?””In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Carly or Sam text you shortly.” Freddie said.”You think?””Yeah.”Freddie finished his smoothie and was about to leave Melanie to finish the one that she ordered when his phone beeped. He checked it.”A text from Sam. It says that she is on her way back here.””I guess her and Carly are done talking.” Melanie nervously said.”Don’t be nervous, I’m sure that everything is…”Freddie was interrupted by Melanie’s phone beeping. She nervously looked to see who had texted her.It was from Carly and it said: Plz come to the apt and talked to me, Sam said you could”Carly wants me to come and talk to her.”A second later, Melanie got another text, this one from Sam: Yo, go talk with Carly. It’s all gone like I said it would.”I gotta go.” Melanie said rushed. She got up and left, taking her smoothie with her and dropping it in the trash on her way out.
