Hi! Yet
another one-shot from me. I thought of this yesterday, when I was at
the car dealership with my dad and co. I started writing it when he
was sorting out all the paperwork with the (kind of hot) car dude.
Snooze. So I wrote this and spent the next few hours finishing it.
Here you go...
On with the show!

'Carly,
I know he's getting a new car and everything, but how long does it
take?' Sam grumbled from behind Freddie's scarf, which she'd stolen
to shield herself from the cold.
'Soon, I promise.' Carly said,
though she remained dubious.
It was a freezing morning in late
January and Sam, Carly and Freddie were standing outside the school
waiting for Spencer, who was currently at the dealership collecting
his new car. They'd been waiting for no less than 30 minutes and were
steadily losing their patience as the blistering cold raged against
them.
'He's probably arguing about insurance,' Freddie guessed. 'I
mean, it is Spencer. He'll need a lot.'
Carly nodded in agreement
but Sam made an odd noise between a grunt and a sigh. 'It's still
taking forever!' she moaned.
'What kind of car is it?' Freddie
asked Carly.
'I have no idea,' she admitted. 'Spencer wanted it to
be a surprise.'
'Surprises are overrated.' Sam grumbled. 'I'd
rather he turn up now with a pick-up truck than in an hour with a
limo.'
A sudden harsh wind blew Sam's hair fiercely to the side,
in Freddie's face. He closed his eyes to avoid getting hair in
them, but couldn't help smelling the sweet strawberry scent the wind
blew in his direction.
Huh. Sam
uses strawberry shampoo. Who knew?
He thought, suddenly thinking of Sam more as a girl than he had
before.
Sam scraped her hair behind her head and held it for a few
moments to try and tame it. The wind blew all over the place, with
such force that Sam felt weak against it, and pulled Freddie's
scarf up over her mouth and nose. She caught a whiff of a masculine,
citrus-y scent. Different, but definitely pleasant.
Huh.
Freddie wears cologne. Who knew? She
thought as she breathed in some more. Freddie's manliness score
notched up several points in her mind.
Round the corner, a horn
blared. A horn that sounded to the tune of Family Guy. It could only
be one guy.
'Spencer.' The trio said in unison.
On cue, a red
car pulled up in front of them, shiny, scratch-free and obviously
new.
The
window rolled down to reveal Spencer, who was smiling so much it
looked like his face might split in two.
'Hi CarlySamFreddie!' he
said, greeting them as if they were one person. 'What do you think?
It's a Jaguar!' On his face was the crazed, happy look only he could
do.
'Shiny,' Carly observed in an approving tone.
'It's
awesome!' Sam and Freddie said together.
They shot each other a
look that was not quite a glare, holding the others gaze until
Spencer started talking about the cars super-dooper fantastical
heated seats and the ultra-roomy boot which could fit people in it
(a/n: it's true! me and my 12 year old sister got into the boot of my
dad's new jag, and it was totally spacious! We couldn't convince my
17 year old sister to get in though...).
'Okay, sorry to burst
your bubble, Spence, but we're freezing our butts off here, so can we
get in please?' Sam said, in her usual subconscious blatantly upfront
way.
'Shotgun!' Carly called as she scampered round to the front
of the car and climbed in before Sam or Freddie could object.
Freddie
stepped forward and opened one of the back doors. 'Back seat's kinda
small, isn't it?' he observed.
'Oh yeah, that's to make room for
the mini fridge built in the boot,' Spencer explained.
Freddie
rolled his eyes and climbed in, before being pushed along by Sam,
annoyed at missing out on the shotgun and having to share the
backseat. It was really cramped for the two teens and they had
surpassed the smallest amount of space possible without
arguing.
'Move your arm, dorkwad!' Sam yelled, squirming.
'Maybe
if you weren't sprawled over the whole seat!' Freddie
complained.
'I'm not, just move!'
'Quiet, guys,' Carly called
from the front seat.
Spencer stared ahead, concentrating
unbelievably hard on the road ahead.
'Hey Spencer, why are we
going into a gas station?' Carly enquired.
'Oh, I used up most of
the gas when I drove around for two hours after getting this. I guess
I'd still have a full tank if I had picked you guys up on time.'
Sam
made an angry lunge for him from the backseat, but she was pulled
back by Freddie, who shot her a "don't go there" look. She
sighed and slumped down, folding her arms across her chest. As soon
as she breathed in her new favourite scent from the scarf, she felt
calmer.
Freddie looked at her for a moment before rolling his eyes and resuming looking out of the window.
Spencer made a commotion at that moment, tripping over as he clambered out of the car, then hopping (yes, hopping) up and bouncing to the pump. Carly, embarrassed, got out of the car and went into the shop, after informing her friends that she was going to buy a magazine.
Freddie, put off by the awkward silence Carly's departure had left behind, said to Sam 'So... what do you think we should do for Carly's birthday?'
Sam was still annoyed, but said 'A party?'
'What about a surprise party? I remember how much Char loved hers last year.'
'I'm not sure. Like I said earlier, surprises are overrated.'
'What do you mean? Surprises are cool. Y'know, not knowing something is going to happen then being insanely psyched when it happens?'
'I think I'd prefer looking forward to something and then not having a heart attack when it happens. Honestly, surprises aren't good.'
'Oh, yeah?'
'Yeah.'
The space in which the two were seated was so cramped, and the pair were sitting so close together that it took less than a second for Freddie to reach over, grab Sam's hand, pull her closer and kiss her. Sam was taken by surprise, her heart suddenly beating so hard it felt like it might shoot out of her chest, and her cheeks had gone an unnatural shade of pink.
The kiss was a short one, just to prove Freddie's point, but all the same, Freddie was reminded of Sam's shampoo and the fact that she was a girl, and Sam was reminded of Freddie's cologne and the fact that he was a guy.
'So- so, yeah. Surprises are good...'
Sam, kind of amused at Freddie's typical awkwardness, said 'Okay, stop being right,' and pulled Freddie in for another kiss.

Okay,
there it was! Alright, I hope. I got the idea when we were wandering
looking at this car with a positively teeny backseat. And things
happened in my mind... yes.
Anyways, anyone catch the new Skins
on e4? If you don't know what I'm talking about then never mind. But
it was AMAZING. Freddie (different Freddie) is hot! Luke Pasqualino
is the actors name if you wanna Google him.
And speaking of e4,
there's this AWESOME show called the Inbetweeners, and they were
filming it in my schools car park! Oh, yes, I saw 3 of the actors!
One of which is inexplicably fit. James Buckley.
Anyways, I've
rambled on about hot boys enough, but I have a burning question. Any
other shameless Nathan Kress lovers about? My sister saw a pic of him
in Mizz, but she was like 'Ew,' and I was like 'Huh?' Anyways, answer
in reviews please. :)
Sorry for boring you.
Bye!
Charz
