Prologue
The sounds of raindrops hitting the window. On a somewhat cold and rainy last week of August, it was not even supposed to be raining. But with the crazy weather that's been happening, it was something the people of Seattle, Washington got used to. The sound of a rumbling thunder woke Carly Shay out of her peaceful slumber. The clock read 6:21 A.M. Carly groaned as she woke up and stretched her arms. She then realized it was the first day of her senior year in high school. This was the year when everything would begin to change. She got up and headed into the bathroom to go get ready.
The smell of bacon had basically made its way into a certain blonde's room. Samantha Puckett or as she preferred being called, Sam, immediately got up, opened her door and ran into the kitchen. Bacon was something Sam definitely loved and waking up to the smell of it made it even much more delightful. Once in the kitchen, she saw that her mom had already cooked some and put it on a plate. Sam was quick enough to take some pieces with her and eat it before heading into the bathroom to get ready for what she liked to call her senior year of high school, "the last year of hell."
The yelling of an overbearing mother woke up one Fredward Benson, or as he preferred being called, Freddie. "Fredward, dear. It is time to get up. It is the first day of your last year in high school and I do not want you to be late".
"Mom, I already knew that. Let me go into the bathroom and get ready." Freddie said.
Mrs. Benson responded back, "Freddie, I have to give you your tick bath...." but Freddie was quick to retort back "Mom, I'm 17 years old. I can take care of myself." "Ayeeee Freddie okay, but once you're all ready and dressed up, come downstairs for breakfast."
"Sure thing mom," Freddie said. Freddie then entered the bathroom to get himself ready for his last year of high school.
As each of them got ready, they each looked into the mirror of their respective rooms and reminisced on all the experiences they've each had and how it had gotten them here, their last year of high school. The 3 best friends Carly, Sam, and Freddie were always a tight group. Since they started the webshow iCarly back in the 8th grade, it was all about being together and enjoying the fun of being around each other and performing webcasts for kids. The decision to stop doing iCarly during their junior year of high school was tough, but the overload of school work took a toll on all 3 of them so they mutually decided that iCarly had to end for the time being. Despite ending the webcast, they still found the time to hang out and such during school and on weekends when one was free. As one would expect, they did have their differences over the years as all friends would, but these 3 people would be there for each other no matter what. It's kind of hard to believe that even when they completed their first 3 years of high school, they never got themselves into any kind of drama, specifically relationship wise. None of them ever had been in a major relationship through their first 3 years of high school though each of them had their occasional dates with other people. Carly was almost close to having a boyfriend near the end of her sophomore year but realized things would not work out when the guy she hung out with several times was only using her to make his ex-girlfriend jealous. Sam's spunky yet bold attitude did not get her a boyfriend either though she did attract a lot of boys with that attitude she did have. The boys were just too scared and so she deemed those kind of boys not man enough to handle her and so she would just deal and go about her own business. As for Freddie, his love and admiration for Carly was still intact. Though it died down significantly through the years since Carly kept insisting to him that she just saw them as best friends and nothing more, he was ok with that. Of course, there were instances back at the beginning when he would get a little bit jealous as Carly would go out with other guys, but he remembered that they were just best friends and nothing more and so as the years went by, he realized that he too had to move on for his own good. Freddie would love Carly no matter what until the very end, but right now he was focused on himself and of course, the strong friendship he had maintained with her and Sam. All of them were dreading starting their last year of high school, but they also were scared because they knew this might be the last time they would all be together. No one knew what lied ahead of them as soon as they would graduate except themselves, so each made it a mission in their mind, to spend every moment they could with each other. And so it begins...
