Author's Note: This is my second story and it will be a Seddie story. I'm going to start with rating it T but it may get vulgar in later chapters if you think i should raise the rating to M i will, but there will not be any smut, or lemon, orwhatever in this story, just vulgar words and humor.
Disclaimer: i don't own anything.
Prologue:
A five-year-old Sam Puckett stalks her prey through the playground. Little Fredward Benson isn't escaping her today. She sits quietly at the top of the slide and waits for her prey to pass in front of it. He walks in front of the slide and sees the nickel that she planted as bait.
"That's it, take the shiny nickel." She mumbles to herself. He bends over to pick it up and she springs her trap. She pushes off and lets out a war cry. She slides head first down the slide at her unsuspecting victim. However, to her dismay, Fredward jumps out of the way at the last second and she dives head first into the sand box. She gets sand all over her face and in her hair, she has a few scrapes but her ego is hurt the most. The tiny Fredward will pay for this. She gets up and turns to seek revenge on the tiny boy, when she hears a strange sound. It's the sound of laughter. She looks to see who would dare risk their life by laughing at her. A little boy about her age stands on one of the playgrounds elevated platforms, pointing and laughing. This new boy would learn the rules, you never laugh at Sam Puckett. She runs at him and in response he stops laughing and looks at her with anticipation on his face as she charges him. She runs up the playground steps and at the last possible second, he shoots out a hand, which lands on her shoulder and side steps out of the way. The feisty blonde went barreling past him, and manages to stop running before she falls off the edge of the platform. She feels the new boy put his hand on her shoulder and lightly shove her. She slips off and falls two feet onto her hands and knees. Then there's laughing again. Not the boy's but everyone else's. She turns back to see that the whole playground had gathered around to watch and started laughing as she fell. She looks up to see the new boy look down at her sympathetically and outstretch a hand to help her up. She pushes it away, gets up and runs home, not wanting to be laughed at anymore. The playground starts to cheer with the bully running home. In truth, two people weren't laughing, the new boy, and on the other side of the playground, Fredward Benson sat on a bench, watching the little blond run home with sympathy in his eyes.
Chapter 1:
It has been many years since the playground incident and Sam Puckett has all but forgotten that fateful day. Now she only has feelings left, she doesn't like playgrounds, they make her uneasy, she never lets anyone laugh at her unless she is doing iCarly, and she remembers the anger she felt towards Freddie Benson, she no longer remembers the tiny boy who'd made a fool of her, then tried to show sympathy, just the evasive Freddie, who foiled her prank and everyone laughed. It has been about 11 years since the incident, and she is walking down the hallway of Ridgeway High school with her best friend Carly Shay. She hadn't picked on anyone that day and needs to feel someone squirm in agony. Normally she would turn to her punching bag and secret friend Freddie. However, she has not seen him all day and she thought it was nice to get a small break from him. But now, she wants to hit something and he isn't around. As she and Carly reach their lockers she sees Freddie coming down the stairs laughing. She is confused until she sees the slightly taller boy next to him. This boy has shaggy dirty blonde hair, almost brunette but not quite, that reaches his bangs in the front, covers most of his ears and reaches the middle of the back of his neck. His face is round, it isn't a fat face but a full one, not as lean as Freddie, or as full as Gibby's. He wears rectangular glasses, not comical glasses, but fitting. They cover his silver blue eyes. He has a strong neck, not muscular, but strong. He has broad shoulders, again, strong not muscular. He has a body that you wouldn't describe as thin or muscular if you put him next to Freddie, or fat, if you put him next to Gibby. The best description would be strong. He has a plain white t-shirt with a short sleeve blue-black plaid shirt over it; it is a button up shirt that is unbuttoned showing the white undershirt as well. He has navy blue cargo shorts, black converse high tops and white socks that go slightly higher than that. Freddie is next to him wearing the usual jeans and blue and yellow-stripped polo and a pair of sneakers, the two continue down the stairs, laughing all the way toward her and Carly.
"Hi Freddie, who's your friend?" Carly asks Freddie when they get closer.
"Oh, this is Fred." He says gesturing at the newcomer. "We just met this morning, he's new here and I was showing him around."
"Actually," Fred chimes in, "I used to live here as a little kid."
"Why'd you move?" Carly asks.
"For the same reason I came back, dad got a job." He explains.
"Why are you hanging out with Fred-face?" Sam asks, Carly and Freddie except this insult as a fact of life, Fred however, decides to stick up for his new friend.
"Better his than your face." He says nonchalantly, as if it weren't an insult. Freddie and Carly go rigid, silently saying goodbye to the new boy. Sam simply looks up at him and scoffs.
"Like I care what some four-eyed asshole thinks about me." She spits in his face, Fred's smile never falters.
"Good, very mature of you," he replies cheerily, "And I wont care what a tiny, insecure, bitch thinks about me, deal?" he asks and holds out a hand as if to shake on an agreement. Sam begins to fume with anger. Freddie gets in between the two and attempts to hold Sam back.
"Sam, don't kill him, he's new, he doesn't know." Freddie tries to defend Fred.
"Then I'll teach him, you don't insult Sam Puckett." And she pushes Freddie out of the way. She storms up to Fred who still has his hand outstretched and a big smile on his face. She raises her right hand to punch Fred across the face, but his outstretched left hand grabs her wrist, pulls her toward him and while she's off balance, he slides behind her and brings her arm up be hind her back. She feels an instant of pain, then he pushes her away and she stumbles but stays standing. She can't allow this, a crowd has gathered. She turns, charges and throws a punch. He slips under it and pulls up her foot with his, causing her to slip and fall on her face. He turns and watches her get up. She struggles, he watches her look around and sees the fear in her eyes, she can't look weak, not in front of these people, her eyes land on Freddie, not in front of him. He sees her problem and makes eye contact and she sees his look of understanding she charges again. This time, he doesn't move, she throws a punch and he lets it connect. He stumbles back into the lockers and slides down dramatically. Sam turns to the crowd. "What are you looking at?" She yells and the crowd disperses. Carly and Freddie go up to Sam and talk to her.
"Are you okay?" Carly asks.
"Did he hurt you?" Freddie asks.
"I'm fine. He should be checked on not me." She says, they look over to where Fred fell, but he isn't there.
"Where'd he go?" Freddie asks.
"I'm getting a drink, dumbass." Comes Fred's voice behind them, they turn and see him bent over a water fountain. He straightens up and walks over to them. "I'm sorry for calling you a bitch and making you look stupid in front of everyone." He says to Sam sincerely.
"It's okay," she says smiling, "It's about time someone here showed some back bone."
"So, we're good?" he asks her and raises a hand.
"We're good, but I'll still insult you." She says and takes his hand.
"And I'll be waiting with comebacks." And they shake. "So, can I still watch you guys do iCarly?"
"What?" Carly asks confused. Freddie speaks up here.
"I kind of promised him he could be an audience for the next iCarly." Carly looks at Freddie angrily.
"It's okay with me." Sam says. Carly looks between the two of them, then relents.
"Fine, I just don't want another Mandy incident. Now, we should get to class."
"Nah." Sam and Fred say at the same time, they look at each other confused, then Sam looks over at Freddie.
"I'm gonna go get a taco." Fred says then saunters off toward the school exit. "You guys wanna come with?" he asks them.
"Sure." Sam agrees and she goes off to join him. Freddie eyes Fred jealously.
"What have I done." He asks himself as he watches the love of his life walk off with this new boy.
