Hey guys! This story idea popped in my head one day and I decided to run with it. Pretty much the same stuff happens for the most part but with the exception of Gaara being involved as well. Hope you guys like it!
By the time you're reading this my story will already be done. Thank you for reading!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my own imagination!
Chapter One: The Transfer
It was a calm December day in Seattle, the birds were chirping and the sun was shining brightly. A tall dark skinned man with thin black hair and brown eyes, sat back in his chair. He stared forward at the young student in front of him with calculating eyes. Lifting up a paper in his left hand he cleared his throat. The sign on the desk read "Principle Franklin"
"So... Where did you say you were transferring from?" Principle Franklin asked.
"Homeschooling" the student said with finality. The student stood at 5ft tall with Blood red hair and teal eyes with black rings around his eyelids. He had pale skin and almost nonexistent eyebrows with a red Japanese symbol tattooed on his forehead just above his left eye. The student wore a black t-shirt and cargo pants with boots.
"Right..." he said dragging out the word out "Who was it homeschooling you, Gaara was it?"
"It was and is"
"May I speak to a parent?"
"No"
"Why not?"
"My mother is dead and my father is no longer in the picture"
"Legal guardian then?"
"My sister is the only one of my family who could be considered that. She and I are not on good terms"
"Hmmm. So you have no one who can attest to your education?"
"No. I can however participate in a test to show you my level of education. Perhaps that would work?" he asked.
"I suppose we could arrange something like that. We can place you in classes based upon your score"
"When do I test?"
"I'll put something together for after lunch. For now, I will send you to Ms. Briggs class for today. You'll have that class regardless of your test scores anyway"
"Just point me in the right direction" Gaara said standing up.
"I'll walk you to the class" he said opening the door and motioning for him to go first.
"This is so boring" Sam groaned leaning her head back onto Carly's desk behind her. Carly laughed quietly.
"Maybe that's because she never stops talking about bagpipes"
"You mean those things hanging from her chest?"
"Quiet!" Briggs yelled as the class talked amongst themselves. There was a stern knock on the door as it cracked open to show Principle Franklin "Ms. Briggs, may I speak to you outside for a moment?"
"Sit quietly!" Briggs yelled sternly as she walked outside the door.
"What do you think that's about?" Carly asked.
"Hopefully not about me egging Briggs car" Sam said with mild worry on her face.
"Class" Briggs said almost sweetly "We appear to have a new student, a new mind to mold"
"New student?" Sam whispered.
"I didn't hear anything about it" Carly answered back.
"Please welcome him with open arms and keep any nasty comments to yourself or I will be giving you detention everyday until the end of the school year" she threatened as Gaara entered the room. Nearly every girl in the room was drooling over him within seconds while the boys were sizing up their competition.
"Hottie alert" Carly said with a daydreamy look on her face.
"Mama likes" Sam said staring at Gaara with almost calculating eyes.
"Why don't you introduce yourself to the class young man" Briggs suggested.
"My name is Gaara" he said flatly watching everyone in the class with cold eyes.
"I meant to tell the class about yourself. Your hobbies and aspirations perhaps? Likes and dislikes?"
"My hobbies are none of your business, my future aspirations are mine alone. I hate a lot of things and don't particularly like anything. Good enough?" he asked crossing his arms in front of his chest as he leaned back against the desk.
"Charming. Any questions for the new student class?" she proposed.
Every hand in the class went up, Gaara sighed deeply in annoyance.
"Go ahead Rick" Briggs said a small smile.
"Is that makeup on your face? You some kind of freak?" he asked with a smirk.
"Perhaps you'd like for me to show you the front end of a vehicle moving at fatal speeds?" Gaara countered "I'm not wearing any makeup"
Pointing towards Carly "Go ahead"
"Is that a tattoo?"
"It is, I've had it for a few years now. Three more questions, then I am done" he said pointing towards Gibby.
"Where do you work out? You have some rocking abs man!" Gibby asked gesturing to his toned physique.
"I don't" he answered pointing to a blonde girl in the back named Rebecca.
"Are you dating anyone?"
"No, and I am not accepting applications" he said with a roll of his eyes pointing to Sam "Last question"
"Do you know any martial arts forms?" Sam asked noticing his black duffle bag at his feet with a white flaming fist symbol on the center.
Gaara raised his eyebrow surprised at her observation "Muay Thai, Escrima, Krav Maga, Capoeira, Savate, Yawyan, Taekwondo, Judo, Jujitsu, Ninjitsu, Kendo, Fencing, Kenjitsu, Kali, Bojutsu, Francombat, Boxing, Kickboxing, Hapkido, Wing Chun, Shorin Ryu, Silat, Chin Na, Hokuto Shinken, Kyudo, Aikido, Varma Adi, Jeet Kune Do, Shaolin, Ba Gua, Hung Gar, Tai Chi, Kung Fu, Kenpo, and Karate. Just to name a few"
"You expect us to believe you mastered that many different fighting styles?" asked Rick.
"Of course not. I haven't mastered them all, only slightly more than half of that list. My uncle was a very good teacher" he clarified.
"When did you start?"
"When I was four years old"
"No way!"
"How could someone force you to learn how to fight at such a young age?" Carly asked.
"My father would say because he wanted me to be safe and be able to protect myself when I got older. My uncle however, would attest to my father being a deranged lunatic"
"Alright, alright. That's enough questions for today" Briggs interrupted "Take a seat in the empty chair next to Samantha, raise your hand please" she instructed. Sam gave a half wave in his direction to show her who she meant. With a nod he headed to the seat plopping down in the chair next to her.
"Impressive knowledge of fighting, do you really know that many styles?" Sam whispered.
"Yes, I usually blend them into my own style of fighting when I train. Haven't done that in a while though probably out of practice" he nodded back to her.
"I'm Sam" she introduced herself extending her hand towards him.
"Gaara, pleasure to meet you" he shook her hand.
"I'm Carly, her best friend" Carly said popping her head into view.
"Nice to meet you- Don't I know you?" he asked looking at Carly.
"I'm not sure, have we met before?"
"I believe I saw you once in the building I just moved into, is your brother Spencer Shay?" he asked recalling the memory.
"Yes, that's my brother. How did you meet?"
"He helped me move some of my boxes into my new apartment. I'm just down the hall from you" he said.
"Awesome! Sam practically crashes at my place every night, we could all hangout sometime" Carly said.
"Why don't we have him over for dinner tonight? Spencer is making chicken stir-fry" Sam offered.
"That'd be great!"Carly asked.
"It's nice of you to offer, but I'm not much of a people person" Gaara said shaking his hand dismissively.
"Come on, let us welcome you to the building. If you don't get used to Spencer and I before moving in then you'll go insane hearing us through your wall" Carly said with a smirk.
"I..." Gaara sighed with a shake of his head "I suppose I could stop by and meet the neighbors"
"Shoosh ya!" Sam said excitedly.
"Detention!"
"I wasn't even the one talking!" yelled Rebecca.
"Two detentions!"
"She always like this?" Gaara asked grimacing.
"Without fail" Sam answered.
"Fantastic"
Principle Franklin's eyes scanned over the paper in his hand and looked up at Gaara who waited patiently "Your uncle was your teacher since you started homeschool?"
Gaara nodded "Up until his recent and unfortunate passing"
"I see, I'm sorry for your loss. He must've been one hell of a teacher, you got every answer on this test right, even the questions meant for high school students"
"Really?" Gaara asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I could easily place you in an honors sophomore class without you having a problem keeping up"
"While I appreciate the offer, I believe I'd like to stay where I'm currently stationed for now"
"Truly? May I ask why?"
"Some of the students I met today were a lot more welcoming than I had expected. I wish to see where this leads"
"I understand. I will give you a few days to think on the decision, if you change your mind let me know. If I hear nothing from you on the subject I will assume you are happy where you are"
"Thank you, sir"
"Spencer!" Carly yelled opening her door.
"Yo! I'm in the kitchen!" he yelled back.
"Can Sam come over for dinner?"
"Sure, kiddo"
"Also we have a new neighbor right down the hall from us who I invited to help welcome him to the building"
"That's sweet of you, how old is the neighbor?"
"About my age. Just started going to Ridgeway with us"
"I don't mind having him over. What's his name?"
"Gaara"
"You called?" Gaara said entering behind Sam "Hey, Carls! she called out.
"Hey, you and Sam walk home together?"
"I got out of detention when he got out of a meeting with Principle Franklin"
"Very fortunate" Spencer said entering the room "Hey! You're the guy-"
"Yes. It's nice to see you again, Spencer" Gaara extended his hand towards him.
"Well get ready to have your socks blown off by my amazing cooking skills!" Spencer yelled running back into the kitchen. Suddenly the pan caught fire as Spencer yelled strange noises at it.
"Fire extinguisher?" Sam asked nonchalantly.
Gaara walked over to the pan and turned off the stove killing the fire almost instantly "I see this happens often?" he asked based upon their reactions.
"Usually" Carly answered with a wide smile.
"Food's done!" Spencer yelled "Take your seats"
Spencer pulled the chair out for Carly, Gaara raised an eyebrow at this before following suit with Sam. Sam looked at him confused "What're you doing?"
"Holding the chair out for you" he answered.
"Why?"
"Sam! He's being polite, sit down" Carly lectured.
"Alright, alright. Calm down, I can handle my own chair"
"Someone's being polite to Sam? What mental disorder do you have?" Spencer joked.
"I'm schizophrenic" Gaara answered as he sat down. Everyone in the room grew silent staring at him "Was that a joke?" Sam asked.
"That was a joke"
The group started laughing.
"What time do you need to back home by?" Carly asked.
"Whenever you say I should if I don't decide to leave myself"
"You don't have a curfew?" Sam asked curiously.
"Not unless I set one"
"Must have some lenient parents" Spencer deduced.
"I do not, I just don't live with them"
"Oh, who do you live with then? You mentioned your uncle in class today" Carly asked too interested to continue eating.
"No one, I live by myself"
"How?!" Sam asked as she practically spit the food out of her mouth "How can you afford that?"
"Sam! Gross!" Carly yelled.
"What? It's just food"
"Food that's been in your mouth!"
"Whatever, returning to my earlier question, how can you afford to live by yourself?"
"My father passed away five years ago, his will gave half his fortune to my older sister and brother each. Recently my sister and I had an argument and she kicked me out of the house. She was gracious to give me a bank account with all the money she's been saving for me since father died. That's how I pay the bills for my apartment"
"Your father didn't put you in the will? What about your mother or uncle?" asked Spencer in disbelief.
"My mother died as a result of giving birth to me, and my uncle passed away when I was six years old. My father always blamed me for both their deaths, he wouldn't have put me in his will if his life depended on it"
"Well, I'm sorry to hear that. If you ever need anything, Carly and I are just down the hall"
"That's very kind of you, I extend the same offer to you both as well. You included Ms. Puckett"
"Please, call me Sam. Ms. Puckett makes me sound like a grandmother. They all laughed as they began conversing about funny stories around the table, most of them revolving around Sam or Spencer doing things they shouldn't be doing.
(Two days later)
Carly entered the Ridgeway school entrance.
"Let me go!" yelled a student Sam was pining against the lockers "Say your sorry!"
"I'm sorry!"
"What are you sorry for?" she asked pushing him back into the lockers.
"Saying you're aggressive!"
"What am I again?"
"Pretty and sweet!"
"Thank you! Now next time you- Ow, ow, ow, hair, hair, hair!" Sam yelled being dragged away by Carly.
"Hi" Carly said in an annoyed tone.
"Did you get in trouble?" Sam asked.
"Of course I got in trouble! Teachers tend to get upset when you put their heads on the bodies of big fat animals! I can't believe I let you talk me into taking the blame for you!"
"You had to! I've already been suspended this semester, if I got busted I would've been expelled!"
"Well here's an idea"
"What?"
"Stop doing bad things!"
"Okay, chillax"
"I will not chillax! Get excited, you and I are going to be spending our entire Saturday videotaping kids' auditions for the talent show"
"No way, gross"
"Sorry, that's my punishment. So, that's my punishment, too"
"All right, whatever"
"Y'know, anybody but me would punch you right in the head"
"Which is why you're my best friend"
"Good to know. Now why are you mine?" Carly asked irritably.
"Because I'm a loveable person!" Sam droned on as she pushed the student she was harassing earlier into the locker.
"Yes, that's apparent by your sunny disposition" Gaara said sarcastically as he walked towards them.
"Thank you! someone gets it"
"He wasn't being serious"
"I know, I was hoping you didn't notice"
"What're you arguing about?" Gaara asked raising his eyebrow.
"Sam put posters of Ms. Briggs head on a rhinoceros and I took the blame for it because she would've been expelled if I hadn't, now we have to videotape auditions for the school talent show tomorrow" Carly explained.
"Yuck" Gaara said as they entered class and took their seats.
"Yup, wanna come?" Sam asked.
"Better than sitting bored at home" he answered leaning back into his seat.
"Great! Do you have a video camera?" Carly asked.
"No, Spencer does though"
"We'll just ask him for it and tape the auditions then leave and post them on SplashFace for Briggs"
"Sounds like a plan to me"
"I told you the front door would be locked. You've gotta go around to the blue doors in the back of the-oh my god" Carly said entering the room with her phone to her ear when she saw the camera and Freddie standing there with all the equipment.
"Morning, Carly"
"Freddie?" she asked surprised "See you in a sec" she said to Sam hanging up the phone.
"Like my equipment?"
"I just asked to borrow your camera. What is all this?"
"Well, that's a 3-chip high-def camcorder with a hyper-cardioid condenser microphone. mounted on a carbon fiber tripod with a low-drag fluid head. I also brought you juice and a bagel"
"Hey, you invited the doof?" Sam asked entering the room.
"Sam" Carly said in a motherly tone.
"Man! I didn't know that was gonna be here" Freddie groaned.
"She, I'm a she Freddie, as in girl"
"Barely, just don't touch my AV equipment"
"You mean I can't play with the white balance on your super-dee-duper-dee camcorder?" she taunted.
"Sure, everybody jokes about the white balance until skin tones go magenta"
Sam walked up to him slowly with her hands clasped together in front of her innocently "Carly will never love you"
"That's it! I'm taking my stuff and I'm going home!"
"Please stay" Carly asked in a sweet tone.
"Okay" he instantly agreed.
"Hey, Sam, Carly, new person" Gaara greeted entering the room.
"Hey, red" Sam greeted.
"Who's new person?" Gaara asked pointing his thumb in Freddie's direction.
"I'm Freddie, I'm here to help record the auditions" he greeted extending his hand towards him.
Accepting it Gaara looked at him with a raised eyebrow "What'd you do to get this punishment?"
"He's here because I asked to borrow his camcorder" Carly explained.
"Nice to meet you"
"Don't make friends with the nub, he might rub off on you" Sam warned seriously. Freddie groaned in annoyance.
"I will never understand why people could possibly think your abrasive" Gaara said rolling his eyes.
"That's because people clearly aren't ready for a tough girl like me"
"Sam? Wake up" Carly said poking her in the face with her foot.
"What time is it?" she asked with a yawn as Gaara walked down the stairs from the second floor.
"Late. What time is your mom coming to pick you up?"
"She's not. I told her you invited me to spend the night"
"I didn't invite you to stay the night"
"Well you should, because I'm not leaving"
"When you put it like that, who could say no?" Gaara joked slinging his bag over his shoulder.
"Goodnight, Gaara" Carly called as he opened the door.
"See ya, tomorrow" Sam added with a light wave as he returned the gesture closing the door behind him.
"What're you doing?" Sam asked as Carly sat down at her computer.
"Checking to make sure Freddie put the auditions online. I told Ms. Briggs we'd upload em to SplashFace so she could watch them in the morning"
"I kinda hate Ms. Briggs. Remember that time she called me a demon?"
"NO!" Carly screamed.
"Oh, yeah... it was when I put that raw chicken in her purse and-"
"Shut up and come look at this!" Carly yelled at Sam.
"What? Freddie didn't upload the auditions?"
"No! He uploaded us!"
"What?"
"Look!" Sam looked at the computer to see a video of her and Carly making fun of Ms. Briggs "pointy boobs" "That's you and me!"
"Sure is!"
"He wasn't supposed to be filming us! We were being all goofy and acting like idiots all day!"
"Oh, my god. We made fun of Ms. Briggs and her crazy pointy boobs!" Carly yelled frantically pacing back and forth.
"Whoa! If she sees that-"
"Anyone can see it! It's SplashFace!"
"Okay, okay, chillax. Look, see the view count? Only 27 people have clicked on it"
"Okay, good" Carly sighed a breathe of relief approaching the computer again "Sam?" she asked in a serious tone.
"Yeah"
"That's 27,000!" she screeched causing Sam to fall off the stool in surprise.
"Can you remove it?" Sam asked standing back up.
"I need Freddie's password"
"Which apartment does he live in?"
"Across the hall, but it's after midnight you probably shouldn't-oh no" Carly said turning to see Sam storming over there "Oh, great. 28,000 people have watched us"
"Quit it, Sam! Let go of my foot! Too much friction! Let go!" Freddie screamed as he was dragged across the hall by Sam into Carly's apartment. Freddie stood back up as she let go "What is the matter with you!" he yelled pointing at her.
"Why'd you film us at the auditions today?"
"Oh, because you guys were being funny"
"Is everyone okay over here?" Gaara asked poking his head in after hearing the large amount of screaming.
"No! You shouldn't have put us online without our permission!" Sam answered before yelling at Freddie.
"I didn't, I edited you guys out before I uploaded the auditions"
"No, you did the opposite of that!" Carly sighed.
"What?" Freddie said in disbelief as he walked over to the computer "There's no way I-" he stopped mid sentence after seeing the video.
"That's not good" Gaara winced with sympathy.
"Take us off the site!"
"Okay, okay! just give me a sec"
"This is so not good. Anyone, anyone in the world can just click and see everything we did and said today"
"It's so embarrassing. And if Miss Briggs sees-"
Don't even talk about it. Cause if she-"
"Ha! Got it. See, it says, "At your request, this video will be removed"
"Good!" Carly yelled.
"Finally" Sam sighed in relief.
"Tomorrow morning"
"Man! Do you know how many more thousands of people can view it by then?"
"All right, look, before you get all freaked out, SplashFace has message boards"
"So?"
"So, let's see what people are saying about the video. Here's one, Carly, You and your friend Sam crack me up, funny stuff"
"Great, so one kid-"
"Wait! Slackerboy315 writes: Carly and Sam, you chicks are hilarious. When's your next show? This kid says you're way better than most of the puke here on SplashFace"
"Wow, they love us" Sam said surprised.
"Yeah, more than puke" Carly added.
"Here's hoping Ms. Briggs is too old and dumb to know how to see this thing before it's taken down" Gaara said as he approached them.
"Ya, because if she did she'd-" Sam began as Carly interrupted "Don't say it!"
"Where's Ms. Briggs? What if she saw the video?" Carly said frantically pacing.
"Relax, the video was taken down yesterday morning" Sam assured.
"What if she saw it before then?"
"It was Sunday, she was probably at church"
"What church would let Ms. Briggs in the door?" Carly asked.
"Briggs, two o'clock" Gaara warned from his spot against the lockers.
"Hello, Carly, Samantha" she greeted sweetly.
"Hi, we had some trouble uploading the auditions online so here's every kid who auditioned" Carly explained handing her a CD.
"Thank you"
"Sure"
"I'll try not to poke a hole in this with my pointy bosoms" she grated out.
"She saw the video" Sam said cringing.
"We're so sorry" Carly said as she turned to walk around them "Ms. Briggs?"
"What?" she snapped back.
"I typed up a list of everyone I think should be in the talent show" she explained handing her a sheet of paper.
"Snorting milk? Pogo stick hopping? These aren't talents" Briggs said handing the paper back to her.
"They were the most funny kids to watch" Sam argued.
"Pfft, goodbye" she waved off as she turned to leave.
"Wait, so you're not going to let anyone we picked be in the show?" Carly asked.
"That's right, girls" she said with a wicked smile on her face closing the door behind her.
"Who's what's wrong with the world?" Gaara heard Freddie ask as he stepped out of the elevator.
"Ms. Briggs!" Carly yelled.
"Oh, well at least she got that brown lump on her nose removed" he offered following her into the kitchen.
"I just hate it that adults like her get to control what kids can do and see. It ticks me off"
"Then do something about it. Just complaining about it won't solve the problem" Gaara suggested as Sam continued to cut into her ham.
"Why do they put a bone right in the middle of a ham?" she asked.
"You're right, Gaara, we should do something. Remember all that stuff the kids wrote about us on the message boards?"
"Yeah" Sam answered.
"Things like: You should upload more videos and when's your next show and we want more? Lets give em more"
"More?" Freddie asked.
"Okay, what are we talking about here?" Sam asked placing down her knife.
"Doing a webshow, online, every week"
"Why?" she asked for clarification.
"Cause it could be whatever we want it to be. No adults to say "You can do this, you can't do that" We can do whatever we want. Say whatever we want"
"Would it mean I have to do like work and stuff?" Sam asked making a face as if the word tasted bad.
"Well if you're gonna do the show you have to prepare for it"
"Nah, make it your show. You do the work and I'll just show up and be your amusing little sidekick"
"What's the show going to be about?" Freddie asked.
"Anything. Every week something different. For the first show: Kids with bizarro talents"
"Clever! Briggs says no, no, no. We say yeah, yeah, yeah" Sam agreed.
"Like a comedy show?" Gaara asked.
"Yeah! We're funny" Sam agreed.
"Why don't we call it iCarly?" Freddie offered "Ya know, I, internet, Carly, you"
"I like it" Sam agreed.
"iCarly's cool" Carly nodded.
"I've heard worse" Gaara shrugged.
"You're gonna need a technical producer right? Set up the lights, audio, work the camera" he asked obviously implying himself.
"Aw, he wants to be our geek" Sam said making a cute face at Carly.
"You gotta big mouth lady!" he yelled back.
"You wanna be part of it?" Carly asked Gaara.
"I'm up for it. One problem though, what would I do?" he asked raising his eyebrow.
"You any good at voice acting?" Freddie asked.
"I don't know, why?"
"I have some ideas for sound effects and announcements we can play during the show over some speakers. My voice isn't any good for it and Carly and Sam are already hosting the show and scripting what they'll do and say"
"I suppose I could give it a go, I could probably handle supplying props and other objects you want to use on the show" Gaara agreed.
"Why don't we test out your voice and see what you can do-" Sam proposed as Spencer raced into the apartment with a manikin's upper body and lower body under each arm.
"Hey guys! Look what somebody just left in the dumpster. Isn't she amazing!"
"Can we use the third floor as a TV studio?" Carly asked excitedly.
"Well I don't know-"
"Thank you!" she said running up the stairs.
"You rock!" Freddie said following Carly.
"Awesome!" Sam cheered bringing up the rear with Gaara behind Freddie.
"Wait, I didn't say-why do you need it? Okay, later!" he called after them confused.
"Hey there people of Earth" Carly greeted as the camera Freddie held was on them "I'm Carly Shay and this is our very first webcast of a little show we call iCarly"
"She's Carly"
"She's Sam"
"Sam I am"
"Carly, Sam" she said gesturing between herself and Sam.
"I think they're clear"
"Demonstrate the thing"
"oh yeah" Sam said excitedly pulling up a small blue remote with several gray buttons and red lights to indicate which has been pushed "this little remote provided by our dorky friend, Freddie-"
"That's disrespectful!" he called from behind the camera as Sam rolled her eyes.
"We can do this" she explained pushing a button and playing cheers through the studio speakers "And this" she played awes "And this" she pressed the button which caused a disco effect from the lights to flash around the room while rock music played with a deep voice announcing "Random dancing!" Sam and Carly danced with the music until she pressed the button on the remote again "All of those sounds and voices were done by our friend Gaara over there" she explained pointing towards him behind Freddie "Say hi to the people!" she yelled as Freddie turned the camera on him.
Gaara gave a small wave "Hi to the people"
"Okay, tonight we're gonna show you guys some kids with some seriously odd talents!"
"Trick shooooooow!" Sam said guiding them over to the other end of the room.
"37,000!" Freddie yelled announcing the viewers their first show got. They all began cheering and jumping in place with the exclusion of Gaara who simply sat back against the wall with a small smile on his face. Spencer joined in cheering and jumping before stopping them.
"Why are we happy?"
"Because our first webshow rocked!" Carly yelled excitedly.
"It was watched by over 37,000 people" Sam added.
"Get out! My baby sisters' a web star" he said proudly ruffling her hair.
"We should have a party, ya'know to celebrate" Sam suggested.
"Yes, we should. But it shouldn't be just a regular party" Spencer agreed.
"Oh, no" Carly said smiling in agreement.
"It needs to be something different, something... wonderfully random"
"Crazy hat party?" Carly offered. Spencer snapped his fingers in her direction agreeing with her idea.
"That was one heck of a show" Gaara said with a bottle of soda in hand and Sam leaning over the railing off the fire escape with him.
"Shoosh ya it was. Nice work on those voices by the way, I didn't know your voice could go that deep, or high for that matter"
"I did not know that either, to be honest. You learn something new everyday"
"Ain't that the truth, who'd have thought the four of us would be making a webshow. I woulda kicked you in the head had you told me that two days ago"
"That doesn't sound aggressive or unprovoked at all and completely justifiable"
"You totally get me"
Gaara laughed lightly in response "I hope we stay like this forever"
"What? You want you and me to stay out here on the fire escape forever?"
"No, I meant the five of us. You, and me, Carly, Freddie, and Spencer. I've never really had friends before since my uncle and father kept me homeschooled"
"I understand, without Carly I'd already have been expelled and thrown in juvie by now"
"I'm glad I chose to stay"
"Stay? What do you mean?"
"Principle Franklin gave me a test to see how smart I was and how much I had learned while being homeschooled. My lessons were extensive as I you could probably tell by my vast knowledge of fighting styles alone. I answered every question correct and he offered me a spot in sophomore year of high school"
"Then why aren't you in sophomore year?"
"Because I met you and Carly and you both openly invited me over without even knowing who I was or my family. I had never known such kindness before, I wanted to see where it went and I'm glad I did. If I hadn't we wouldn't all be friends doing this webshow right now"
"Wow, that's deep. If it means anything, I'm glad you stayed too"
"Thank you"
That's the end of chapter one! Hope you all liked it. I know some characters may have been out of character but hey it's fanfiction, when aren't they?
