Disclaimer: I do not own iCarly
A/N: A little experiment in writing that fuses every teen movie I have and iCarly. Which caused me to raise the question…what would happen if they entered high school?
CHAPTER ONE
"Carly! Hurry up! You're gonna be late!" Spencer yelled from the living room.
Carly was already dressed for school half an hour ago but she spent the last ten minutes looking at herself. A lot has changed over the summer and she, Sam and Freddie were all ready to enter High School.
"I'm coming!" she grabbed her bag and then met up with Spencer in the living room "Alright, do I look good?" she asked nervously.
"You look fine, Carls." Spencer replied grabbing his keys.
"All I look is fine? Not grown up?"
"You look like cute little Carly, alright? Now lets go" They made their way out of the apartment where Freddie was waiting. He had grown up a lot, too. He was taller, his voice was deeper and Carly could have sworn he was growing stubble.
"Hey Freddie, you ready?" Carly smelled something "Is that after shave?"
"I was shaving…" Freddie replied.
"Alright, Freddo!" Spencer gave him a high five "Alright, we need to get going. Don't wanna have your Mom yelling at me for making you late…"
The three hurried out of the building and inside Spencer's car. Carly sat up in front with Spencer while Freddie sat in the backseat. He watched Carly from behind. All summer he had been trying to ask her out but every time he got a chance, something always came up. Freddie went on various dates all summer but he only wanted Carly.
Spencer dropped them off at the front of the building and then took off. Carly and Freddie eyed the building like they have just stepped into a different dimension.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Freddie said.
They stepped into the building and found themselves amidst a jungle of teenagers. The hallways were much different from their junior high.
"Hey guys" Sam came up from behind them "How awesome is this?"
"Yeah, its pretty cool. What locker did you get?" Carly asked.
"I Got E14 in the East hall."
"Oh my god! I Got E15!!" Carly beamed. "What about you Freddie?"
"I got N06. I guess that's in the North Hall…" Freddie replied.
They got their schedules a week before they had started school. Freddie and Carly had almost the same schedule. Advanced classes. Sam had to take the regular standard classes. The three of them had big plans about this year and high expectations. The bell rang and they all hurried off to class.
Freddie sat next to Carly in Advanced English. The both of them were feeling nervous.
"Hold my hand" Freddie said.
"What? No!" Carly replied.
"Come on. It's the only way to calm me from my first day of school jitters…"
"Just relax"
All of a sudden, a boy with hazel eyes, shaggy brown hair, and a to-die-for smile appeared in the room. Carly watched him as he walked. It was like those slow mo sequences in films where the hot guy walked into the room. And surprise, he sat right in front of Carly.
Freddie noticed her admiring the boy and then tried to get her attention back "Carls..." he called out. She wasn't listening. "Carls!" he threw a crumpled up piece of paper at her but it went in the boy's direction.
"Hey!" he said.
Carly looked at Freddie angrily as the boy turned around.
"I'm so sorry" Carly pleaded "He meant to hit at me…"
"Well if it was to get your attention I would be throwing paper at you, too. Although, I wouldn't be throwing paper…" he smiled.
Carly chuckled in nervousness as Freddie rolled his eyes and felt like he was going to vomit.
"I'm Sean" the boy said.
"I'm Carly"
The two continued to smile at eachother till the teacher came into the room. "Alright, I see a lot of new faces in the class room. Welcome to Advanced English!" the teacher began to explain things while Freddie watched Carly oogle at Sean. All of a sudden, there was a knock at the door. The teacher went to get it.
"Yes?" she said as she opened the door.
Mrs. Benson made her way through the door "I'm sorry, I forgot to give my son something before he left today. Fredward!" she waved "You forgot the ointment for the boo boo on your bum bum!"
As if seeing Carly with another guy wasn't enough to make him hang himself, his Mom showing up in the middle of class was enough to give him the go ahead.
It was going to be a long day…
Freddie and Carly went to the cafeteria to meet with Sam. They looked around for a place to sit and then saw Sam at a table already. They walked up to her but she looked like she had made a few new friends.
"Hey" Carly said.
"Oh, hey guys! These are all kids from my algebra class. Guys, this is Carly and Freddie. We all do iCarly together…" Sam introduced.
The kids waved at Carly and Freddie and they waved back at them.
"Hey, make some room for them" Sam commanded and the kids scooted to the side so Freddie and Carly could sit. They ate their lunches in silence as Sam chatted up with the new kids she had met. They had a lot in common with her. An obsession with meat, trouble making, and crazy Moms. Sam barely talked to Freddie and Carly.
When they finished their meals, Carly and Freddie got up from the table trying to leave silently.
"Hey, where are you guys going?" Sam asked.
"Uh, I'm gonna go figure out where my next class is…" Carly replied.
"I'm gonna follow her" Freddie added.
Sam looked at them for awhile "Oh, alright. I'm still coming over after school, okay?"
"As always!" Carly said and then turned to leave. She tried to convince herself that she wasn't losing Sam. And she wasn't. At least she still had Freddie.
She and Freddie slowly walked out of the cafeteria just looking for people to hang out with since Sam was busy with some new friends.
"Are you upset?" Freddie asked.
"No. I mean she should be able to have other friends. Its not like I own her or anything."
"Well, don't fret…I'm here!" Freddie then looked at a table and then looked back. Some boys were playing around on their computers and that caught his eye. "Whoa, is that Galaxy Wars the Ultimate Quest?" he asked as he dragged Carly over that table.
"It sure is!" one boy said. And Freddie went to sit with them.
Carly sat there for a good two minutes and then went off to walk in the hallways alone. It wasn't even midway through the year and she was already feeling some big changes. Sam had her troublemakers and Freddie had his geeks. So what did Carly have? She was never really apart of any clique. She was an all around good girl who was well liked by everyone. Well, back in middle school at least. This was all too new.
She spotted Gibby sitting in the hallway eating his lunch. So she decided to accompany him. "Hey Gibby" she said sitting next to him "How do you like High School?"
"Its fine. How come you're not with Freddie and Sam?" he asked.
"Freddie met some guys who were playing Galaxy Quest and Sam's busy talking to some new kids…"
"Oh yeah. I saw Sam talking to a whole bunch of people during gym. One of those kids sat on my juice."
Carly looked away as three girls walked into the hallway. They were sophomores but looked much older than that with their heavy makeup, tight clothing, and gorgeous faces. Gibby watched them walk by with such admiration. He was practically drooling.
"They're so hot…"
Carly looked at the girls and then looked at Gibby "Oh come on, they're not that hot."
"Of course, they're that hot" a random girl came up to them said. She must have over heard them "That's Shannyn Branden and her lemmings Brenda Toft and Ashley Yim."
"Okay, I don't see what the big deal is about them…" Carly replied.
"They're high school royalty and If I were you, I'd better be careful about what I said about them. Everyone here, like, worships them. And word does get around fast…" the girl closed her locker and left.
Carly rolled her eyes "Do you honestly believe that, Gi-" she turned and Gibby wasn't next to her. "Gibby?" she looked around and found Gibby trying to talk to Shannyn and her lemmings but ended up getting a slap to the face. Carly sighed and then got up to walk to her next class.
At the end of the day, Carly walked home to school. She just wanted to walk to reflect on the day. Half an hour later, she ended up at her apartment and opened the door. Spencer had been looking through some art books.
"Hey kiddo, how was the first day of high school?" he asked.
She sighed and sat next to him "Thrilling…"
"Oh, really?"
"Not really. Sam found some new friends and Freddie is still in love with me but left me to be with some dorks and so I spent the remaining part of lunch hanging out with Gibby…"
"Whoa, sounded like quite a day. Sam made new friends? That's not possible. You guys are like inseparable."
"Yeah, but I don't think she's like…dumping me. She can make new friends. Besides, not all bad stuff happened to me. I met this really cute guy in my English class!"
"Oh…that's great. My little sister meeting guys in high school…"
"Spencer…"
"I am much more concerned for you especially now cuz you're in high school and the boys do get more dumber and expect more. Trust me, I know cuz I was one."
"I'm not gonna go off and have children with him if that's what you're dreading."
"That better be a promise" Spencer joked "But seriously, try not to grow up too fast alright?"
"I won't" Carly replied.
"Great. Now, I am hungry. Wanna go get some pizza?"
"Do I? Lets go!" Carly and Spencer went out the door and went to get something to eat.
