I don't own ICARLY. This story is the sequel to F Benson calls T Sawyer. The kid go to a Catholic school and the year before Freddie took Carly's punishment for her (20 hits with a mental ruler) when she forgot her homework. Carly and Freddie are now an item
"Sam wait up," Freddie called
"What do you want," Sam said angrily
"Um… to know why you're mad at me for one thing"
"What makes you even think I am mad at you?"
Freddie pretended to think.
"For the past 4 days you haven't spoken a word to me. Whenever a see you, you just walk the other way. You give me these looks like if looks could kill I'd be six feet underground. Come on Sam… what gives?"
"What gives is that you hate me," Sam said
"I what? Sam, why would you think I hate you?"
"Well um… I don't know—maybe the fact that you played Tom Sawyer to Carly when she was supposed to be punished for forgetting her homework and you refused to do that for me 4 days ago when I got in trouble for forgetting mine?"
"Sam I couldn't get hit with the ruler this time and it has nothing to do with my hating you or not hating you. I have an infection in my hand and that would irritate the infection"
"You would do it for Carly infection or no infection"
"Yes but I love Carly. I love you too Sam but not in the same way that I love Carly"
"How do you love me?"
"I love you in kind of the same way that I would love an irritating little sister"
Samantha put her hands on her hips.
"I'm older than you," she pointed out
"Okay fine," he laughed, "then I love you the way I would love an annoying bossy big sister. Look, Sam you're not my soul mate but you are my best friend"
"I am?"
Carly came up to them. She kissed Freddie. He returned the kiss and then said, "Car… honey I need a minute to talk with Sam"
"Sure," she said, "stay blonde"
"Stay brown," Sam came back
"So are we cool," Freddie asked
"Ah… maybe," Sam said
"I'll owe you one," he offered
"Make it ten and you have yourself a deal," Sam replied
"Okay I owe you ten"
"So… I'll see you around," Sam said
"Yeah… I guess you will"
"Yeah"
Freddie gently touched the palm of Sam's hand and then left to be with Carly. Sam went to her next class.
