Carly's view
"Freddie, wake up. We're gonna be late for school."
My twin brother Freddie has managed to sleep in every day ever since we were little kids. I've always been the one to have to get him up for school. As smart as he is, he's as lazy as the day is long.
"Go away." Freddie mumbled from under his Galaxy Wars cover
I ripped off his cover and threw it to the floor.
"Get up or I'll tell Mom you didn't take your tick bath last night!"
Yes, our mother makes us take tick baths. Imagine my embarrassment. I, Carly Benson, being treated like a dog.
"Alright, alright." Freddie yawned
The last thing my brother wanted was an impromptu tick bath, which would have happened if I did tell Mom. Freddie sat up and stretched out the sleepies.
"Mom's making breakfast."
"Great. Is it 'tofu surprise' or 're-fried bean sprout'?"
"Tofu."
"Blech. Dinky Donuts on the way to school?"
"Definite."
I left my brother's room and headed toward the kitchen. Mom was finishing our 'delicious' breakfast as I took a seat at the bar counter.
"Almost done, honey." she announced
"Great."
More like yuck.
"Is that lazy brother of your's up now?"
"Yup."
"Carly, I want you and Freddie to come with me to Aunt Ida's anniversary party Saturday. You know she hasn't seen you since you were kids."
"But I had plans with Sam on Saturday." I whined
Sam Puckett is my best friend and Freddie's girlfriend. She's a cool girl, although a bit hotheaded when she wants to be. She's also universally regarded as the toughest girl in school, and she's somewhat my personal bodyguard/attack dog (after Freddie, of couse).
"You see that juvvie candidate everyday. Your Aunt Ida wants to see you and Fredward."
"But Mom, we-"
"You're going to the party young lady, and that's that."
"Argh..." I growled
Here I am, sixteen years old, and still being bossed around by Mom. Yet Freddie gets away with murder. He has a girlfriend, but she won't even let me have a boyfriend! She says boys are only out for one thing, so I can't have a boyfriend until I'm 'mature' enough to handle them. What a load. She just doesn't want me to end up like her, pregnant at sixteen...No, that's a mean thing to say about Mom. I'm sorry. Take backs.
At least she let's me have the one thing I care most about, my webshow. It's called (get this) 'iCarly'. It's just a stupid webshow with me and Sam doing stupid, random, crazy things for the entertainment of our ever-growing fan base, but it's my weekly escape from Mom's tyranny and the pressures of school and all that chizz. Oh, Freddie is the tech producer/director, because he's good with techy stuff. We even let him on the show sometimes (mostly to humiliate him).
A few moments later Freddie came into the kitchen as Mom dished up 'breakfast'.
"Tofu surprise. Yum." Freddie mumbled
"As I was telling Carly, we're going to your Aunt Ida's anniversary party Saturday."
"Oh...Can I bring Sam?"
"No. Family only. Now hurry up and eat and run along to school. I have to get to work now."
Mom, already in her scrubs (she's a nurse), ran and grabbed her purse and keys, then doubled back to me and Freddie.
"Have a great day." she said as she kissed both of us on the forehead
"Bye mom." I said
As much as she gets on my nerves, I love Mom. She's neurotic, overprotective, overbearing, and annoying, but I know in the end she means well for me and Freddie. I just wish she would let up on me and give me a little more freedom.
Mom made her exit, and on cue, Freddie and I both went to the garbage disposal and fed it tofu surprise.
"Surprise!" I cheered as the garbage disposal devoured our breakfast.
"You think Mom knows we do this?" Freddie asked
"I dunno."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"I got it." I said
I went to answer the door. When I did, I found none other than Spencer Shay on the other side.
Spencer is a goofy, weird man-child who lives across the hall from us. He's also an extremely talented artist who gets paid bookoo bucks for his work.
Plus he's a super, total heartthrob...
"Spencer. Hi."
"Hey kiddo. You wouldn't happen to have a cup of sugar, would you?" the big guy asked
"Would you settle for sweetener?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Making coffee?" I asked as I headed back to the kitchen
"Tea."
"Since when did you drink tea?" Freddie asked
"Since this girl I met told me she does."
"Figures." I peeped
That's another thing about Spencer; He's a player. New week, new woman.
"Spencer, are you ever gonna get married?" I asked as I got the sweetener from the pantry
"Never!" he emphatically replied
"Someday, some woman is gonna get you for being such a dog." I playfully warned as I handed Spence a few packets of sweetener
"And until that day comes, woof baby!"
Spencer took his sweetener and left, closing the door behind him.
"I wish I knew how that guy can rack up so much tail." I said
"Not you but me. Mom's probably about the only woman in Seattle he hasn't banged yet."
"Ew! Imagery!"
Freddie fell out laughing, and I followed suit despite myself.
