Hello! I have a new story up. For those of you who read my other story iGo to DC, I think you'll like this one too! This story however has an actual plot. I'm really excited to hear your feedback, so please review!
If I owned iCarly I would scream until I passed out. Then I would make Seddie be forever.
SAM POV
Argh. I'm leaving in three hours and I still have loads to do. College is finally over, and I'm heading back to Seattle in three measly hours. I'm actually glad Carly and Freddie convinced me to go to college. I actually did learn a lot (isn't that a surprise) and I can now go gloat to my mother back home. I did make it through four years at the University of California!
I guess you wouldn't say I was excited about college. It was fun. I made some new friends (I know, look at Sam broadening her horizons) and I partied. A lot. And I did do homework. Well, most of the time. And I definitely don't mind all the good food here. But I'm so excited to go back to Seattle.
I haven't seen either Carly or Freddie for about 6 months, now. They came for one of my presentations for school. But I wish we could see each other more. Sure, we talk on the phone all the time. But we're so busy that we hardy have time (or the money) to fly. Freddie's at the University of Illinois, and Carly's at Bennington in Vermont. So we're kinda far apart.
"Sam, you freaking need to take these home. And frame them." My roommate, Riley, held up a pair of white underwear. Then she mischievously turned them around and I see the 'I Heart Las Vegas' on the seat. I laugh out loud and snatch them away from her. I toss them on top of the rest of my clothes.
"Will do. I'll miss hiding them in your backpack."
"I'll miss putting them in your fridge."
"I'll miss giving them to you for Christmas." Riley laughs loudly at this.
We've played a game ever since she found them in my suitcase freshmen year. We try to hide the underwear in each other's stuff, and we find the funniest places to put it. One time, Spencer had sent a care package to me, and Riley had cut a hole in the bottom of the box and stuffed the panties (ehh) in the package. I had opened the box to find Fat-Cakes, a package of bacon, some lotion, and my own underwear.
Riley sighs. "I'm gonna miss you." She's not leaving campus for another month because she needs to do something with her thesis. And since we've been roommates for four years now, we've gotten to know each other pretty well. I will miss her.
Riley was one of those chicks who I thought I would hate. She had straight, long, red hair and perfect skin with freckles across the nose. She was tall with long, long legs. Her eyes were an emerald green that would knock boys off their feet. She could definitely be a model. She was flawless. Well, she looked flawless. The first week I found out she was as clumsy as hell, and she was a mess in the morning. This made me hate her even more, cause she got on my nerves a lot.
But after that first week I learned she was really funny. Like, she could totally have been on iCarly when I was younger. She was a combination of sarcastic and outgoing and spontaneous. Kind of like a pretty female Gibby. I really liked her.
"I'll miss you too, Ry." She grinned at me and gave me a quick hug.
"Uhh, your pocket is vibrating." She broke the hug and smiled at me as I took out my Pearphone. It was Freddie. I pressed "answer."
"Sup, Freddio?"
"Sam, you will not believe what just happened." Freddie's familiar voice came out strong and warm, just like always.
"You...found a million dollars."
"No."
"You finally got a girlfriend."
"Sam. No." He says this in an incredulous tone, like, 'Why would I ever have a girlfriend?" I know he hasn't had a serious girlfriend in forever. But why not?
"Uhh…You…met Nug-Nug."
"Actually, that would be pretty cool." Still a nub. He's still a nub.
"Benson, just tell me."
"Fine. You know my aunt Jill?"
"Yeah, the one with the incurable elbow infection?" Good old Aunt Jill.
"The very one. Well, she's going to Jamaica to try some radical new medicine, and she's leaving for two weeks."
"The point, Freddie. Get to the point."
"Right. Well, she lives in Chicago and since she's leaving for two weeks, she wants someone to keep an eye on her house while she's gone. So my mom wants to know if we could stay there for a while before going back to Seattle."
Wow. I really wanted to go back to Seattle, but staying in a house in Chicago sounds really fun. I've never been there, but I've always wanted to.
"Wait. Just me and you and Carly?"
"And Brad." Oh yeah. Freddie and Brad both go to the same college, and they're still good friends.
"And maybe Gibby," he added.
"That potato? He'll probably break all your aunt's stuff. Or get lost in a toy store." I don't know why I pick on Gibby so much. Besides the randomness, he is a pretty good kid.
"Sam, I know you like Gibby. You just love to pick on him, but you think he's a good guy. I can totally read your mind."
"Whatever."
"Whatever." He mimics me. "So me and Brad are getting at my aunts tonight, so I'll be able to pick you and Carly up at the airport."
"Well, that sounds great! I hear there's some good delis in Chicago."
"I guess we'll have to investigate them, Puckett. So I've booked you a ticket for Chicago at 8:00."
"Tonight? Freddie, I hate flights at night. They creep me out."
"Aww, don't be afraid, Sammy." I sigh as he calls me this. He's the only one I've ever let call me that. "It's tomorrow morning." I groan.
"I hate morning flights too. I can't get up early!"
"Suck it up, Puckett." Nice moment, ruined. "See you tomorrow. And tell Riley hi for me."
"OK. See you, Freddie." I clicked, 'End,' and Riley immediately starts bugging me what the call was about. Riley apparently was hard core iCarly fan, and when we first met she recognized me instantly. I will never get used to all the popularity that came with iCarly. It's incredible how well-known the show was, and still is.
Riley also had no problem telling me she was a hard-core Creddie shipper, as well. Even though I loved the way Riley was so brazen and loud, this bothered me a bit. Sure, Freddie and I broke up a year before we went to college. But it still hurt to think about me and Freddie… that way. Sure, I'm totally over it now. However, when Riley actually got to know me things changed. Riley still watched the old iCarly webcasts, and after again watching the webisodes of me and Freddie when we were dating, she turned into a Seddier. And during my freshmen year it hurt how she practically swooned over us. It hurt a lot. But now Freddie is only a good friend to me. And I think he understands that.
"Well, Freddie called to ask me if I wanted to go to Chicago for two weeks. Instead of going to Seattle." Riley pumped her fist and had a sneaky grin on her face.
"And you're going to get it on with him, right? All alone in a big city, with Freddieee," she said mischievously, drawing out the last syllable of "Freddie."
I rolled my eyes. "Sure. All alone with Carly and Brad? And maybe Gibby?"
Riley slumped onto her bed. "Oh, they're coming, too? Well, maybe Brad can distract Carly while Freddie distracts you. And Gibby can go eat the fudge." Riley has met Carly, Freddie, Gibby and Brad a few times when they come to visit me.
"I'm pretty sure Brad won't get with Carly. I think she has a boyfriend."
"Carly has a boyfriend? Since when?" I shrug.
"I haven't talked with her for a week or so. And you know, Carly drops her boys pretty quickly."
Riley nods sagely. "Maybe if Brad brings his fudge…"
I laughed. "I might really fall in love with him if he brings his fudge."
"No, Sam! You belong with Freddie." I roll my eyes as Riley protests. I'm just excited to get together with my friends.
