This is in response to Ashlee Seddie's, Seddie Camping Trip Challenge! I am so excited! As I do with my stories, I will have a preview chapter, or a Prologue. So… here goes, and yes I will attempt to be working on this and iDon't Hate you, because I am on a Seddie rush (lol).
This is just a preview and will only be like 900 words long, but they will be longer!
Disclaimer: You do not understand. I do NOT own iCarly, or the challenge, those belong to Dan Schneider and Ashlee Seddie!
Sam's POV:
Ooooh! YES! School is finally, finally over! FINALLY! Forever! Well… not forever, but until next year when I get to go to Seattle University! Yes, you witnessed it; Sam Puckett is going to college! No, not alone either, the main reason why I'm so excited. Carly and Freddie also got accepted there too!
That means, that I spent most of elementary school, junior high, high school AND college with my buddies. Well… my buddy and Fredface. I can't believe I got in; it was a sort of hard school to get in. Carly and Freddo got in just fine, but I had to work… hard. But it's so worth-it because I get to go to a college that my mom could be sort-of proud of.
My mother isn't usually the… what's the word… 'Caring' kind of mother. In other words, she'd rather walk around with her boyfriend in her bikinis than hang out with me. But when I got into Seattle University, my mom hugged me. She hugged me. She was actually proud for like the first time in ever! She would expect this from Melanie, but not me.
I was walking around smiling all day. I walked over to Carly's house, envelope in hand, to tell her the big news; they still don't know that I'm going with them. They told each about the college and me, but I took a while to get accepted.
I barged into the apartment building holding up the puke orange envelope, raising it above my smiling face. I walked to the island where Carly and Freddie were eating corn chips, looking at the SU website. They looked up at me and minimized the window, in hopes not to make me feel bad that 'they were going and I wasn't.'
"Carly, Fredlumps, guess what!" Freddie sighed and looked over, while Carly quickly minimized the window with a big smile on her face. "Guess what guess what guess what guess what!"
Simultaneously my two best friends smiled bigger and screamed, "What what what what what?"
I smiled and showed them the pukey envelope. With my name on it. Under a little note that said 'ACCEPTED'. (A/N: I'm only in 9th grade so I don't know what an acceptance envelope looks like, but for the purposes of this story it says 'ACCEPTED' on the front.) They're eyes scanned the paper carefully.
First their eyes saw confusion, then excitedness, then wonder. Carly spoke up first.
"OMG Sam! I'm so happy for you! Where'd you get accepted? You worked so hard, I'm so happy for you!"
"You already said that, boy Shay you ramble don't you?" She smirked a smile which turned into one of anticipation.
"Where did you get in?" Fred… something was still in shock. I smirked at him. He's such a loser sometimes.
"Where did you guys get in again?" I asked, still smirking. Carly's face turned huge and she jumped out of her chair to hug me. Two hugs in one day.
"You got into Seattle University!" I smiled and nodded, watching as tears of excitement traveled down her cheeks. She can be such a cry-baby sometimes. At about this time Freddie came over and pulled us both into a threesome hug. I hugged back, excited about this. It was so weird to hug him, but I needed my hugs today. "How did your mom react?"
I smiled; Carly knows that my mom only does nice things when I do really really good things. "She gave me a hug. I can't believe we're going to college together!" None of us retreated from the hug to notice Spencer jumping in long strides out of his bedroom in pajamas. "Hey kids!"
"Spencer…" Carly looked in disbelief, her voice still raw from crying.
"Carly… are you okay?" Spencer hopped over and pulled his sister into a concerned hug.
"Yeah, Sam got accepted into SU with us!" Spencer looked at me and pulled away from Carly .He came to me and Freddie, still in an embrace that was really weird but comfortable and natural and I wasn't about to let go. Spencer tore him off of me and gave me a monster hug, pulling my off the ground and spinning me.
"I'm so proud of you kiddo! How did you get in?" I smirked and looked away to Freddie.
"I might have gotten a little bit of help… you know… here and there… not that I need any help, because I can do anything." I rambled, defending myself. I looked over at Freddie some more, looking at his nerd-shoes. "You know by Freddie and stuff… not that I actually needed help or anything…"
Spencer looked at the three of us teenagers and I could have sworn seeing a light bulb go off in his head. "Hey, I have an idea!" He dragged along the word idea into a song.
"What?" Carly, Frednerd and I asked simultaneously, wondering.
"We're going camping this summer, all summer. All four of us. Who's with me?" We all jumped up and accepted. Interrupted by Mrs. Benson barging in, hearing our conversations.
"I am! Freddie, we need to get you some cloud-block and sun-screen and a night light and a tent and bug-spray and everything. You know what; I'll just bring the whole camping bag! Ohhh! We need some bear repellent, come along Freddie! We need to get ready!" Mrs. Crazy dragged reluctant Freddie out of the apartment, rambling and babbling on out of our lives.
For now.
Okay, I'm pretty sure this chapter stinks, but the chapters will be longer and better, I promise. This is the first chapter, like and introduction. Pleas review! If you don't review, then I get really really really sad, so I want at least 3 reviews for this chapter and the other ones, because I need some constructive criticism! So, REVIEW!
Ashlee Seddie, I hope you read this and like it for your challenge!
