I'm Not Fred

I sat on my bed sulking with my box of chocolate ice cream, stuffing my mouth and fighting the urge to I was cry.

I was so angry at Zane! How dare he talk that way about Fred. I mean... he doesn't even know him.

I really wanted to scream. Scream away the horrors of this entire day. Scream out all my anger and frustration towards my dad, my brothers...my life!

But my brain was doing this awful thing of converting my urge to cream to this outburst of tears and this is when I fall back to my one and only, ever-loyal, love...ice cream.

I was in the middle of my somewhat emotional breakdown when I heard my phone buzz and I was really going to flip if it as one of those stupid credit card promotions!

It wasn't though. It was actually a text from the one person who had no contribution in my god-awful day. It was Fred.

Fred: Hey... You looked off. I hope everything's fine.

Me: Hi...I hope so too😓

Fred: You weren't fighting today and that's just weird.

Me: 😆 nah... just wasn't in the mood.

Fred: PMS??

Me: Don't make me wanna punch you again!

Fred: Wanna talk about it?

Me: If that means I get to leave this house

Fred: meet me at the park down the street

Me: you save me a lot 😆

I tossed my phone in the nearest bag I could find slipped into one of Gryffindor hoodie and decided to use the window out because I really couldn't start answering my brothers as to why I was leaving the house at 1:00 am.

I slid down the pipe on the side of my window and quietly walked out the backside of the house walking really quickly towards the café.

Four blocks down and I could see the café now and a person outside it who is hoping was Fred.

I walked a little more and saw him standing there with his hands in his hoodie.

"hey!" I said waving awkwardly.

He walked towards me and put his arm around my neck," Hey babe."

That's super weird. Why the hell was Fred babe-ing me. He knew all that stuff made me cringe.

"umm...don't babe me," I said.

He just looked at me. It was weird cause I hadn't seen that look before.

"let's go Coraline," he said gesturing towards a bike.

" what happened to your car? You love that car."

After a moment of hesitation, he says," thought we'd try something different aye."

That's weird why has Fred started acting all southernly I thought to myself. I convinced myself that I was overthinking again and got onto the bike behind him.

We had just started moving when I noticed Fred's car on the road coming towards us. "Fred isn't that your car?"

The car drove past us and I was shook.

I just saw another Fred! I was now convinced I was going mad. Panic and confusion started taking over me.

"That's weird..." I said out loud.

"What's weird babe?"

I swear this babe this was freaking me out.

"umm... I feel like I just saw another you drive past us in a car that looked exactly like yours."

"there's nothing wrong with you babe," he said now turning his head.

My heart was really pounding due to confusion and the fact that it felt like I was going to get into some sort of accident if Frediano kept on looking behind like that.

"I'm not Fred..." he said with a sly smile.
