Is my name Dan? Nope not since the last time I checked. I don't own ICarly =(
After everyone finished their taco's, and I finished the ham Carly, Spencer, and Freddie started on the dishes while I made my way to the couch and sprawled out.
"You could help you know" Carly called over. She didn't say it in an annoyed way, she never did. It was more in a way like she thought I hadn't noticed they were doing dishes and forgot to join in. "Nah I'm busy" I replied readjusting myself to get more comfortable.
"Busy doing what?" the nub asked as he was drying a plate. He said it in a more annoyed voice then Carly did.
"I'm thinking about the big question" I replied knowing what question he would ask next.
"What big question is that?" Freddie asked with a confused face.
"Why you so stupid?" I said it with a smile and in the funny voice I always said it in. I could tell just without looking that he was glaring at me like he always did and trying to think of a good comeback, which normally he couldn't. Finally he gave up and the three of them finished the dishes.
Carly and Freddie made there way over to me while Spencer bounced over to this current goldfish -whose name was Mango- and fished his keys out of the fish bowl and started for the door. His colorful winning contest paper in hand.
"Where you going?" Carly asked before he made it to the door.
"I'm off to get my winnings" he replied as his hand was on the knob.
"But we just ate dinner, how can you still be hungry?" Carly asked, astonished that Spencer could even think about food after the meal they just had.
"Who said I was getting food?" and with that he was out the door without any other explanation, much like he normally did.
"I'm sure you'll find out later Carls, so how about we go up to the studio and watch the Lewbert cam?" I asked, praying neither of them would remember going to my house to check if I got any letters.
"We need to go see if you got any letters from schools" Carly reminded me, I figured it would take more then Lewbert to distract her from something as big as this, but mama had to try. I sighed and nodded as the three of us made are way to the door and down to the parking lot.
I didn't have my license like Carly and Freddie did, to many times in juvy, so since Spencer took the Shay car Freddie had to drive. I silently groaned, it's not that Freddie was a bad driver he was a good driver Crazy Mama Benson made sure of that. It's that his mom's car smelled strongly of cleaning products and the inside of the this car was probably the safest place in Seattle, next to the Benson apartment that is.
I crawled into the heavily padded back seat and wondered how this car passed inspection with all the padding it had on it. Freddie and Carly went into the front seats as I tried to tune out their college talk, they included me in the talk, mostly I just nodded and gave little 'no's' and 'yes's' I just didn't want to think that in a few short months they would both be gone.
We were at my house in no time, Freddie parked on the street even though the driveway was big enough for two cars, mom parked like a manic again. "Good old mom" I chuckled as I got out of the car.
I decided to just get this over with and went to the mailbox and pulled out all the mail, it was quite full as my mom never gets the mail and I hadn't gotten it in a few days. I took the wad and the three of us made are way to the front door. The door wasn't locked the lock had been broken for years, ever since mom couldn't open that fat cake that one time and was so frustrated she threw a lamp at the door and it broke the lock. Instead you had to hit the door three times with your foot at the bottom and twice with your fist right above the lock and it would open.
We walked into the little hallway and saw my mom and Frothy both sitting on the couch both eating cereal out of bowls, surprisingly mom had a spoon normally she did it Frothy style. "Hey mom, no date tonight?"
She looked up from her cereal and Celebrities Underwater and said "What are ya talkin about I got the best date out there, I got Frothy" Frothy looked up and hissed at no one in particular, it was his normal greeting.
"There's no way Ginger Fox could stay underwater that long, she a walking turtle nub!" mom said to the television annoyed.
The three of us made are way to my room which was cluttered as usual, I pushed some items off two chairs and onto the floor "Carly" I said gestering toward a chair, Freddie made his way to the other but I pulled it out before he was able to sit on it.
"Sam!" he yelled rubbing the part of him where he hit the ground "What did you do that for?"
"Not for you nub" I said as I replaced the chair back on the ground.
"Who's it for then?" Freddie asked getting up annoyed, before Sam answered Frothy came leaping in and bounced up on the chair licking his paw and then hissing at Freddie.
I plopped on the bed and handed Carly all the college envelopes as I looked at the rest of the mail, it was mostly the magazines that my mom subscribed to and a few bills. Carly started opening as I flipped through a magazine.
I let out a laugh as I came across the celebrity gossip part of the magazine involving Wade Collins insulting a hobo when I noticed the ripping noise from Carly had come to a stop. I looked up "Don't worry Carls I wasn't expecting anything anyways, you didn't send applications for me to anywhere big right cause that was an obvious not happening," she had a funny smile on her face and held up a letter.
"Someone got into Seattle Community College" she said excitedly they both congratulated me as I snatched the letter a little shocked, it was true I had been accepted.
-X-
After I finished going through the rest of the mail and leaving out the important ones for my mom I packed my backpack as I was suppose to sleepover Carly's tonight. I was still a little surprised that I got into school. Eventually a thought occurred to me, it must have been Carly filling out the applications, most of my grades were C's or low B's, Carly's application skills must have evened it out and that was the reason behind my acceptance. I hadn't even thought about what kinds of classes I would take, I just assumed I wouldn't get in anywhere. Just another thing to worry about on top of not seeing my friends anymore I thought. I cleared my head, tonight I wasn't going to worry, we only had a few more months together and mama wasn't going to waste it worrying.
As we were driving back to Bushwell Plaza Carly asked me "So are you going to go to the community college, or do you think you'll do something else? Are you staying in Seattle" I looked at the rear view mirror, she asked a lot of question at once that I didn't have answers to. I noticed Freddie look up at the rear view mirror at me curious for my answer he seemed to be extremely curious in my answer by the look on his face. I shrugged and said the only thing I could say "I'm really not sure yet."
