Disclaimer: I don't own iCarly, but I own my plot.
It was a Saturday evening. Carly and Sam are having a sleepover, Freddie was doing homework at home and Spencer was... doing his usual stuff.
The girls were in Carly's bedroom. Carly was reading another girly magazine in bed while Sam was eating ham on the floor. She noticed Carly looked a little nervous while reading but she just shrugged it off. When it became too quiet in the room, she decided to break the ice.
"Hey, thanks for letting me sleep here tonight Carls." Sam said after finishing her ham.
"You always sleep in here, Sam. Why didn't you go to your house now?" Carly replied, not taking her eyes off the magazine.
"You know I can't sleep in there because of my mom."
"What's this about your mom this time?"
"Oh, the usual. She keeps shouting at the cat to get a job… because she got fired."
"Your mom applied and got a job?" Carly asked, dropping the magazine, clearly surprised.
"Yup."
"Well, what job did she get?"
"You don't wanna know." Carly wondered but took her friend's advice and picked up the magazine.
Another silence began. Carly just kept reading and Sam stared blankly into space, might have been dreaming about food again…
"Alright, I can't take this ANYMORE!" Carly shouted which caught Sam off-guard.
"Whoa Carly, what are you talking about?"
"Me not telling you SOMETHING!" Carly replied quickly.
"Relax. If you can't stand the quiet, I'll be the one to do the talking."
"No Sam… that's not it." Carly sighed, now calmed down. "You see, I've been thinking about something for awhile now…."
"No wonder you're always jumpy…" Sam blurted out quickly.
"And after a really long time I came up with an answer but I wasn't sure… so I decided to tell you but now I can't since you're just going to laugh at me."
"C'mon, you can always tell me anything, that's what best friends are for right?"
Carly smiled. Even though Sam is a so-called "menace", she's been a really good friend to her. "Well, alright… but don't laugh okay?"
Sam just smirked, saying her usual, "No promises there."
"Sam, I… I think… uhh… how can I say this…"
"Just spit it out Shay!" Sam ordered.
"I think I like Freddie!" Carly said too quickly and closed her eyes, expecting her to laugh. But when she looked at her, she was only frowning.
"Wh-what are you talking about?" Sam became interested now.
"Well, you noticed that Freddie doesn't make a move at me anymore right?"
"Hmm, the nub didn't annoy Carly anyway for like….. 3 months now, even though he had many chances." Sam thought. "Y-yeah."
"I noticed it too so I knew that he got over me..." Carly said, "Which I thought was good." She added. "But after a month, I felt something was missing. You know, like a part of me that I just can't live without… then I realized I missed Freddie's attention."
"Big deal, you miss Freddork hitting on you, that doesn't mean you like him!" Sam said quickly, her voice filled with annoyance.
"Well, I thought of that too but..." Carly sighed again then continued, " When he didn't obsess with me anymore, I… kinda realized what kind of guy he really was. And now, I… I think I like him."
Sam couldn't believe what she was hearing. "How can my best friend, who rejected the dork a hundred times, like him now? Well it can't be helped if he's really cute and sweet and…. wait, what? Did I just describe HIM like that? No, you hate the dork, hate the dork, hate the dork... Better. But why am I acting like this? I should be happy for Carly and the nub since they'll be together and forever... but I hate it… Why?" Sam was completely confused right now. It was all happening too fast. There were too many questions in her head. She snapped back to reality when Carly shook her. She didn't realize that her jaw hung wide open all this time.
"Hey, you okay?" Carly asked, concerned.
"Uhh, yeah." Sam managed to stutter out. "Listen, I don't think you two will work out." She said, very softly.
"Huh, why?" I like him and he loves me and…"
"HE'S NOT IN LOVE WITH YOU ANYMORE!" Sam snapped. Carly was surprised but got a little mad at her friend's reaction.
"What are you talking about? If he knows that I like him back, I'm sure he'll start to love me again." Carly said with a lot of confidence.
"He gave you a load of chances in the past, but you wasted them all, so TOO BAD."
The girls then started to argue.
"Why do you think that I can't be together with Freddie? Why won't you agree with me?" Carly asked, confused and angry.
"One, you two have the worst chemistry and two, you think people will agree with you all the time? You asked for my opinion!" Sam replied, angrier than Carly.
"What do you know about chemistry? You always get a D minus!" Carly snapped back.
Meanwhile, Freddie was at his room getting his homework done, and he doesn't have an idea at was happening between the girls, poor kid…
He was doing his report about "The Disadvantages of Having Protective Parents" Luckily; he knew a lot of stuff about this topic. And as usual, he put too much info in it. Now he was double-checking everything.
"I need juice." He said out loud. He went to the door and opened it but his laptop shorted out and got covered in flames. He looked back and was surprised.
"WHOA!"
He panicked, but quickly went to his closet and got a fire extinguisher. He rushed to the burning notebook and sprayed at it like there was no tomorrow. It took a while to put out. After it was gone, he laid the extinguisher on his bed and stared at his now crispified laptop. He was silent for a little while.
"Well, there goes 4 hours of hard work…." He mumbled. After a while, his laptop's screen fell off, in which he added, "… and my laptop."
"Why are you acting like this? Do you even like him Sam?" Carly questioned, curious at her friend's behavior.
Sam was taken aback by her question. "Of course not, not in a million years will I like the nub!" Sam thought. "But I can't stand the idea of Carly and Fredwina together… He should be with m-me! WAIT, NO- NO-NO! Man this is too much chiz…"
"Of course not, don't be an idiot." Sam only mumbled.
"Oh, really..." Carly glared at her friend.
"Think what you want, I'm getting some shut-eye." She glared back and plopped down the bed on the floor.
Carly just let out a frustrated sigh, then proceeded to turn off the light and get some sleep too. Both didn't even say a "Goodnight" to each other. Well, if you get in a fight, I doubt you'll say anything anyway.
Carly was fast asleep but Sam was thinking about what happened.
"Why am I like this? I thought I wouldn't mind if they got together. But now, we got in a fight… because of him. Guess that first kiss meant something after all. But still, he told me he hated me. And I told him the same too. Maybe, just maybe…"
Before she even finished her thoughts, she fell asleep.
This is my very first try on fanfic, so please review and tell me what you think.
