A/N: Hello everybody! I feel as if it's safe to say that I am back to posting my iCarly fanfiction stories. I haven't posted in AGES and I've honestly missed it very much. The first few chapters of this story have just been sat in my fanfiction folder on my laptop for months while I wondered whether to post them or not. But I figured that there wasn't much point to me writing them if they just sat in a folder forever. If you've read any of my other stories this story is different. I really do hope you enjoy it. Thank you.
New school, new beginnings.
Chapter one: iFirst Day
"I still can't believe the school kicked you out!" sixteen year old Carly Shay said down the phone still shocked to her best friend Sam Puckett.
"Oh I can, ever since you left to be home-schooled; they've been waiting on any chance they had to kick me out" Sam replied. "Everyone always goes easier on me when you're around Carls" she expressed.
"Sam just promise me that you will try your best not to get kicked out of this school" Carly pleaded with a small sigh as she felt sorry for her friend.
"I'm checking the place out before I promise a thing" Sam told her.
"Sam I mean it!" Carly insisted. "These last few years of school are really important, you can't afford to get kicked out of another school" she told Sam firmly in her worried Carly tone.
"Fine I'll try not to get kicked out" Sam mumbled whilst rolling her eyes. "Now I've got to go I'm arriving at Galini's pie shop" she added.
"Pie for breakfast, huh? Just don't be late for school Sam; you need to make a good first impression" Carly replied.
"Yes mother" Sam joked before hanging up her phone.
Sam sighed as she continued to stroll down the sidewalk, Carly had only started home-schooling two months ago and Sam had already been kicked out of school, about to start another. Sam had always hated school in the first place and Carly was what had kept her under control for all these years. School just wasn't the same without her best friend there to keep her out of trouble. She couldn't believe it when Carly first broke the news to her that she was going to be home-schooled. See, Carly had started missing a lot of school to go and visit her Dad whenever she could and seems he's based in the US at the moment other than Europe she had been visiting him a lot lately. That was when Spencer decided that it was best to pull Carly out of school because that would be the only way for her to keep up to date with all her school work. It was weird for even Carly to see Spencer make such a grown up decision for once, maybe he was finally growing up but probably not. Sam then took herself out of her own thoughts as she opened the door to Galini's pie shop hoping that pie would take her mind off of things, they did have the best coconut cream pie in town after all…
As Sam stepped into the pie shop she noticed that it was surprisingly quite empty. There was just a middle aged woman sat drinking coffee and a brown haired boy wearing a black and yellow stripy jumper at the counter being served. Gosh, Sam hated stripes.
"I'll have a slice of coconut cream pie" Sam ordered to the woman at the counter next to the boy who was still giving his order.
"Excuse me" a woman said moments later grabbing Sam's and this mysterious boy's attention. "You've both ordered coconut cream pie and there's only one slice left" she told them.
"Well I want it!" Sam demanded.
"No I want it!" the boy argued as he turned to look at Sam. Wow, he had nice eyes she thought.
"There will be more ready in an hour" the woman told them.
"How about I flip you for it?" the boy asked.
"Heads" Sam called as a coin was chucked into the air and landed down onto the counter. She then smiled and picked up her pie once noticing that the coin had indeed landed on heads.
"What's your name anyway?" the boy asked as Sam began to walk out of the pie shop.
"That's for me to know" she called back.
"And hopefully for me to find out" he mumbled quietly with a slight smirk on his face as he got the feeling that he would see her again one day.
With a stomach filled of pie and a delicious taste of creamy coconut left in her mouth Sam had made it to her new school, Ridgeway High. The place didn't look to bad if she was perfectly honest as she made her way to the principal's office but she knew that school would never be the same again without Carly around. As Sam continued to walk down the corridor she noticed a few people staring, they must have realised she was new causing her to instantly make a note to herself that if their still staring next week then she can indeed whip out the butter sock.
"Hello, I'm Sam Puckett" she introduced herself as she knocked on the principal's office door.
"Hello, please do come in. I'm your new principal, principal Franklin" he greeted as the school bell suddenly rang rather loud throughout the school. "Ahh the bell for first lesson" he said aloud. "Well here's your schedule, I have a fellow student Gibby here to escort you to your class and I hope you find Ridgeway very welcoming" Principal Franklin told her.
Was that it? There was no lecture about her behaviour and what is expected of her as a student of this school. Sam was oddly surprised. With a principal like this then maybe she could settle in nicely or just get away with all the pranks she loves to pull so much. As Sam turned around she came face to face with a shirtless boy…this school was strange.
"Hi, I'm Gibby, here to take you to class" he greeted.
"Why are you shirtless?" Sam blurted out.
"I'm Gibby, that's what all Gibby's do" he replied as if he had answered that question many of times. "Now come on, you've got English with Miss Briggs, she's harsh and hates it when people are late" Gibby told her as the two began to walk back down the corridor.
A few minutes later, which felt like a life time to Sam, she and Gibby had arrived outside Miss Briggs classroom. Even though Sam had to now go inside and learn she was grateful in a way to get away from Gibby as all he did was talk about his love and crazy obsession for liquid soap.
"Gibby! What do you want?" Miss Briggs questioned in a harsh tone once he had knocked on the classroom door.
"I've brought you your new student, Samantha Puckett" Gibby replied in a sudden whoosh of panic which caused Sam to scowl at him for calling her Samantha.
"Ahh yes I was told to expect you, you will sit next to Mr. Benson." she replied. "Benson raise your hand now" she demanded as she continued to teach her lesson.
It was then out of the corner of Sam's eyes she spotted a familiar boy with brown hair and that stripy jumper raise his hand with that specific smirk from earlier on his face. Great Sam thought, it was that boy from Galini's pie shop. The boy with such nice eyes but yet he wears stripes.
"So your names Samantha then" he greeted her quietly.
"Sam actually" she corrected him.
"Or the pie stealer" he smirked.
"Hey! I won that pie fare and square" Sam argued slightly. "What's your first name anyway?" she suddenly found herself asking.
"That's for me to know" he joked.
"Dude seriously" she warned with a glare.
"My names Freddie, Freddie Benson" he smiled.
As Sam and Freddie continued to bicker there was soon only five minutes left of the lesson. Through the past hour Sam had nicknamed Freddie 'nub' and had told him a numerous amount of times that in that jumper he looks like a bumble bee. Suddenly though Miss Briggs walked over to the pair of and interrupted them from whatever it was that they were up to.
"Benson and Puckett I need a word with you" she told them both. "Sam seems you've missed out on a lot of work I'm assigning Freddie to be your tutor" she explained.
"Oh great" Sam grumbled.
"That's the spirit, it seems like you two have been getting along great" Miss Briggs replied making it obvious that she didn't sense Sam's use of sarcasm. "Freddie you know what we've covered, make sure you teach it to her before the end of term or else detention for you" she demanded before walking off.
As soon as Miss Briggs walked off the bell marking the end of first period but the start of the second went off and Sam looked down at her schedule to see that she had math. She hated math.
"Well bye nub" Sam said to Freddie as she left the classroom before he had the chance to reply and Freddie didn't even acknowledge his friends calling him as he then to left the classroom so quickly to find out if Sam was in his next class.
