iLove Freddie-an iCarly Fan Fiction-Chapter One-On the Outside Looking In-

"Class, please welcome our new student, Sophie Kerns!" My homeroom teacher, , announced to the class. No dip was I nervous. No, I wasn't nervous because my teacher was evilly strict and played the bagpipes, but because the iCarly crew was in my homeroom. And I could never be popular enough to be friends with them. How depressing. Because, see, I was never the most popular girl in school. I was viewed as more of an outsider; or, as I was also known, "the short-ish girl with pretty long blond hair and freckles." But, trust me, just because I was labeled as "cute-sey" doesn't mean my life was all-that.

I gave a shy wave to the class and went to my seat. I passed Carly on the way there. Was she impressed by my holey jeans, black and white layered tank tops, and classic black and white Converse? Oh, Sophie, I thought to myself. Grow up. Like Carly Shay cares about you.

The morning bell rang after announcements (which I paid no attention to.) I got up from my seat and went to my locker. I opened it, got first period books out, and closed it. Right then, someone bumped into me, sending us flying down to the linoleum floor, and scattering our books everywhere.

"Watch it!" I yelled, at the same time as the brunette boy said, "Sorry, I'm so sorry!" I looked up to see the gorgeous Freddie Benson, semi-on top of me. We locked eyes for a moment, and then he pushed his self up and reached his hand down to help me up.

"Um, it's alright." I said, smiling as he grabbed my hand and helped me up. We started picking up each others' books. I was smiling the whole minute while picking up the books. One, because Freddie was part of the iCarly crew, and two, because I was completely in love with him.

"Well, we should get to class." Freddie said.

"Yeah." I agreed. "Because, well, the bell rang already. And, um, the bell means it's class time. Yeah, I so knew that!" What an idiot. I thought. Nice going, Sophie. He just smirked at me and walked off to class. I fast-walked the opposite direction, Freddie's handsome smirk pasted in my brain.

I tried to focus on my school work, I honestly did. I got half of my homework done in class. Well, I had fourteen equations reading "FB+SK=LOVE" written down on my paper. I knew I shouldn't even try to get him. But, a stupid little monster in my mind wanted me to reach out to Freddie and kiss his boy lips. Yeah, thats right, Sophie Kerns has never kissed a boy before. But, so? Ever since I started watching iCarly, I knew I wanted Freddie to be the one. But, deep down in my heart, I knew I would always be an outsider. I would always be the one voted "most likely to hoard cats and never get married." I would always be on the outside looking in.

...But I still think I love Freddie.
