My first Multi-chap! :)
Of course, I SO do not own anything iCarly.
Hope you review! Tell me what you think ;)
"But Spencer," Carly's voice cracked. "I really, really need a dorm! I can't go back and forth between school and Seattle!"
"So you're saying you'd rather get another place than be with your big bro?" Spencer put both his hands on his hips.
"Well, I know being away from you will be hard but...I have to go." Carly was fighting back tears. She sat on her purple sheets and looked at her clothes sprawled all over her bed. "Don't worry...I'll be fine. I'll go visit you often...and, Freddie will be there."
Spencer smirked at the thought. He always knew that Freddie would be the perfect match for his little sister. He never brought up the issue on Carly, but he was really waiting for the time when Carly will open her eyes and see Freddie as the perfect guy for her. Spencer knew that Carly would ignore the issue once he starts talking about it so he never brought it up. "You're right...I know you'll be fine." he walked towards Carly and hugged his sister tightly. "I guess I just can't accept the fact that my girl is growing up..." he stifled. Carly looked up, "Are you crying?"
Spencer hid his face in her hair. "Me? Cry? No way." he choked out.
Carly laughed and hugged him back. "I love you, big bro. Promise me you'll be fine here, okay?" She felt Spencer nod against her head. "And promise me to stop burning stuff!" she said seriously.
Carly laughed at the events that happened earlier. She sang along the beat of some pop rock band as she looked at Freddie, who was behind the wheel. Freddie was driving her new Toyota Corolla, which Spencer gave her as a farewell gift.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Freddie glanced at her for a fraction of a second and smirked.
"I remember how your mom freaked out." she laughed and ran a hand through her hair. "You used your extra cash to buy an apartment near campus. I thought she was gonna talk you out of college."
Freddie gave a deep, velvet chuckle. "Oh, she did, actually. She cut all my credit cards so I won't go anywhere. I also found out that she bought trackers and stuck them in my laptops and pear phone."
"How did you remove them?"
"I couldn't, really." he chuckled again. "I sneaked out to the Mac store the other day to buy new stuff. I copied every file in my pear phone, pear pad, and laptop on three different hard drives so I could save everything."
Carly rolled her eyes and gave her best friend a light punch on the shoulder. After a few moments of silence, Freddie looked at Carly, who looked very much in need of sleep.
"You okay?" Freddie asked. "We still have four hours to spend on the road."
"Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about me." Carly reassured him.
Freddie took one of her hands and squeezed lightly with a smile forming his perfect features. "Whatever you say, Carls."
Carly was surprised at his touch. A mixture of butterflies and memories of bacon flooded her mind. She tried very hard to hide her nervousness and smiled sweetly at Freddie. She gave his hand a squeeze and untangled it from his.
"I'll just sleep for a few minutes, okay? I slept too late last night because I was doing last minute packing."
Freddie rolled his eyes. It was soooo Carly. Trying to make everything perfect was what he loved about her. "Sure, Carls."
Carly drifted to sleep as soon as the song playing in one of the playlists on Freddie's new iPod came to an end.
Freddie couldn't help but be too excited for college. He, Carly and Sam have been talking about this ever since junior year started. Freddie recalled the time when he and Carly received the letter they got from Stanford, their dream school. He rushed to the iCarly studio and found Carly all alone and screaming at the top of her lungs. Once Carly saw him, she fell right into his open arms. Of course, Freddie couldn't resist screaming and jumping like Carly. They both ended up staring at each other and backing away awkwardly from each other's bodies.
Freddie chuckled at the thought and glanced at the girl sleeping peacefully next to him. "I wish Sam also got accepted at Stanford..." he mumbled to himself. "She'll miss all the fun." His thoughts drifted off once again.
After the joyous screaming and awkward hugging of Carly and him, they went downstairs to tell the news to Spencer and they found Sam sulking on the couch.
"Hey, Sam!" Carly squealed, still not over the good news.
"Read." That was all what Sam had to say as she held up an envelope. "I got accepted at Cornell University. That's the only university that accepted me. I don't get why Stanford didn't. Yeah, I know you guys are honor students and all... but my grades aren't that bad."
That made Carly sad and made plans of how the three of them will get in touch. Even if Sam won't be with them at college, Freddie always knew that he'd miss the ham lovin' girl. He was always irritated when Sam always made fun of him in front of Carly but he got used to it. He knows how much he'll miss the crazy blond haired gal.
After making a quick stop to the gas station and another hour on the road, Freddie saw a sign, "California: 1Km"
"This is it." he smiled.
"Carly," Freddie whispered as he nudged her. "Wake up, Carls. We're here."
Carly stirred for a moment and mumbled something incoherent to him. Freddie's lips turned into a cute smile as he nudged her again. The brunette slowly fluttered her eyes open.
"Hmmm? Where are we? What happened?" she mumbled sleepily.
"We're here, sleepyhead." Freddie ruffled her hair and laughed.
"I'll go get your stuff and bring them to your dorm. Then I'll go to my place."
"Sure, sure." Carly slowly grabbed her tote bag at the back seat and got out the car.
"Wow." That one word she said was a complete understatement.
The view of the whole campus rendered her speechless. The different school buildings, amazing statues, huge fields, and the lush gardens surrounded her. Some department buildings were classy and elegant while the others had a more modern look. Some students had just arrived and unloading bags from their cars. Some boys had their speakers on and were just hanging out under the cool shades of the trees. Girls walking past them giggled and flaunted their way towards one of the modern-looking buildings. Jocks were tossing footballs on the field and some cheerleaders were watching by the bleachers. Some quiet newcomers were resting under the trees with an open book on their lap while a group of spiky-haired boys skated past them.
"I know," Carly didn't notice that Freddie walked towards her and followed her gaze. "...and this is just the beginning."
A smile formed on her lips as she imagined the days to come.
