DISCLAIMER: I don't own anyone… anything… not of iCarly anyway!
Day Prologue.
"I am not! What makes you think I get enjoyment out of lying about something like that?""What doesn't make me think that?"
"Carly, please tell him."
"Freddie, it's true…"
I lowered myself onto the couch and started to hyperventilate. I couldn't believe this!
"Don't get so upset, Fredward. You have a good few days left," Sam patted me on the back before heading into the kitchen smirking. We had 7 days left, starting tomorrow…
"You don't get it… I had stuff I want to do before we went back to school! How did I loose track of time?" 7 days until… until, oh god, we're sophomores!
Carly took a seat next to me and patted my shoulder, "maybe you just-"
"-spent too much time being a nerd," Sam interrupted, throwing a piece of popcorn at my head. Problem was, she was right! I had spent most of the summer playing games, working on iCarly, going to conventions…
She laid the popcorn on the table then sat between me and Carly. I sighed and turned to her, "I wanted to do so many things! I wanted to go to this convention with the two of you, I wanted to go on a trip or something… I can't believe I wasted my free time."
Sam raised an eyebrow then gave a small shrug, "we have a week left. There's enough time isn't there. Oh, except the convention. That'll just have to be you and Carly. I'm not going."
Carly nudged her in the ribs, "Sam."
Sam grinned to me then turned to face the television, "what film tonight, my friend and my non-friend?"
I snorted, and then continued planning in my head a way of doing what I planned doing over the span of a month into 7 days.
"Freddie? Freddieeeee? Carlyyyy, he's dead. Can we start the film now?"
"Sam! If Freddie was dead we'd have to ring an ambulance!"
"Why? He's already dead," she then snorted, "I like how you said 'have' to ring an ambulance."
"That's disrespectful!"
"Carlyyyy, he's alive. Now can we start the film?"
Carly just nudged her then leaned forward to get a clear view of me around Sam. "What's wrong?"
"I'm thinking of anyway to fit everything I wanted to do into this final week..."
Carly just shook her head, "I don't think you could… why not just choose a few things then save the rest for weekends or Christmas?"
"No! I wI have other things for over Christmas..." I sighed.
Sam huffed as she paused the film, "guys come one, be quiet. Film, remember!"
"Freddie, you can't possibly get a trip and conventions into a week!"
"Could try…"
Sam slammed the controller down on the table, causing the popcorn to fall over, "forget the film! If I say that I'll take care of your petty wish for a good final week, will you please stop being such a pain?"
Carly frantically tried to gather the popcorn up as Sam looked at me.
"Well?"
"Okay…"
I didn't believe she would do it. It's Sam we're talking about. She has never done anything nice for me… well not really. Except that time she stopped those bullies… that time she defended me on iCarly… that time- Oh never mind. This just isn't very Sam like… at all. She won't do it and I know it. But I suppose it's my fault for not planning this all out… ah well. I guess I'll have to wait like Carly said.
Sam got up and grabbed her jacket, "since we're not watching the film anymore, I'm gonna get home. It's starting to rain outside alrea-" she was interrupted by a loud rumble of thunder, "-freakin' fantastic. They call this Summer… Later Carls, Fredward."
"Are you sure you should be going home in that?" I really just didn't see it safe outside…
"Yeah, Sam, stay another night."
She waved her hand shushing us, "don't worry. I've been locked outside in a storm before, in fact the other day!"
"Where was your mum?"
"God knows. Later."
She walked out of the apartment, putting her hood up and closing the door behind her. I really did hope she got home safe.
"I better get home…"
"Your mom?"
"You guessed right. Later Carly."
I exited her apartment and walked over to my own. I kinda lied. My mom isn't even in, but I… Oh I don't know how to put this without people getting the wrong idea… I'm over Carly. We don't even have that much in common, and not in the 'opposites attract, kind of way… just in the 'we're best friends, because of that' kind of way. Sam usually made it fun. Ha, talking of having nothing in common! Me and her are completely different! Wait, we couldn't have it in the 'we're best friends, because of that' way… we hated how we both were… So what are we? Are we 'opposites att-' no way! Jeez!
I went into my bedroom and go into my bed. The 7 days start tomorrow…
