Author's note: I must say this is the fastest update I have ever done in my fanfiction history! But I was so happy with the response of these five wonderful readers ( loveseddie94, DannySamLover20, seddaylovercibby, Urias, and lulu halulu) as well as those of you who favorited and put out alerts, that I just couldn't wait. So I hope you enjoy chapter two.
Sam walked into the Shay apartment slinging her back pack on the floor. While she hated being up at this ungodly hour she knew she had to be out of there before Mrs. Benson got home at seven. Walking in the kitchen she hummed a tune while proceeding to raid the Shay's fridge. About fifteen minutes later Carly Came trudging into the kitchen with her robe tightly wrapped around her, not surprised by the sight in front of her.
"I still don't understand why you're up so early on Fridays."
"This." Sam said while gesturing to a slice of ham. "Is all the understanding you need Carly Shay." Carly laughed, watching and listen as Sam worked on creating an enormous ham sandwich.
"Is the ham also the reason your all hummey and happy?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, every morning after you break an entering into my apartment, I find you down here humming Wouldn't it be Nice, while making a usually meat filled meal."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Sam said while taking a bite out of her beautiful sandwich.
"Oh you know exactly what I mean, something or someone has you all happy and I want to know more." The brunette said with a smile while hopping up on a stool.
"Carly there's nothing to tell." Sam said moving to sit on the couch.
" Sam I know you, you only hum that song when you're in a really good mood, a mood usually induced by someone who is tall, dark, and handsome." Sam rolled her eyes taking another bite of her sandwich. Why did Carly make it her mission to meddle in her love life.
"Carly…"
"I'm going to head up stairs to get dress." Carly said while walking over to the steps. "But I'm coming back." She said with a smile while pointing at Sam heading up the stairs. Why did she have to go, and ruin her appetite, Sam thought while looking at her sandwich. Shrugging her shoulders she took another bite while turning on the TV.
"Mama doesn't waste."
"Doesn't waste what?" Spencer said while entering the room.
"Food, want a bite?" She asked while holding up the sandwich.
"Yea!" He said walking over.
"Kidding." She smiled
"Awww." He said dropping his head with a fake frown.
"Aww what?" Carly asked coming back down the stairs.
"Just Sam teasing me with her food, again."
"Sam stop teasing Spencer with your food."
"Nayeh."
"So sibling do you want some OJ?" Spencer asked while grabbing a couple of glasses.
"Yes please brother." Carly laughed.
"Wait till you taste the orange juice that is going to flow from this baby." Spencer said while placing a large white machine on the table.
"What is that?"
"Oh just an awesome juicer that Socko let me borrow, it makes the best freshly squeeze OJ that your little taste buds can only dream of."
"Ooooo."
"Ooooo is right!" Spencer exclaimed.
"Yo yo." Freddie said while entering the apartment. Sam immediately felt herself tense up. "Sam I know you, you only hum that song when you're in a really good mood, a mood usually induced by someone who is tall, dark, and handsome." Sam shook her head hopefully ridding her mind of Carly's words. "Sam." Freddie smiled with a nod, while moving to walk by her. Panicking at how his smile sent a small shiver down her spine, she quickly stuck out her foot, tripping the boy.
"Sam!" Carly yelled while walking over to help Freddie up.
"What the geek was blocking the TV."
"I was walking past!" Freddie exclaimed brushing himself off.
"Well next time walk a little faster, now quite I'm watching the cooking network." Sam said while making a shooing motion with her hand. Freddie rolled his eyes while walking into the kitchen.
"Hey Freddieo, OJ?" Spencer asked while pumping the juicer on the counter.
"No thanks, I just had breakfast with my mom."
"Oh what'd ya have?"
"Believe me you don't want to know." Freddie said while putting a hand on his stomach.
"You ready to head out?" Carly asked walking into the kitchen.
"Wait you don't forget your juice."
"But it looks like there's nothing coming out."
"Sure there is." Spencer huffed while pumping faster. "It's almost ready."
"Spencer I'm just going to…"
"Here, done!" Spencer said out of breath while handing her a cup with about a swallow of juice. "Freshly squeezed OJ!" He smiled proudly. Raising the glass to her lips Carly drank the juice.
"Yum." She smiled placing the cup back on the table.
"Nothing but the best for my baby sis."
"We better get going, you know Ms. Briggs is on hallway patrol this week."
"Yea your right thanks for the juice Spencer." Carly said while turning to look back at Spencer, only to find him asleep on the counter. "Aww he wore himself out." She smiled while patting him on the back. Laughing she and Freddie both walked into the living room. "Ready Sam?"
"Am I ever ready for school?" Sam said sighing while turning off the TV.
"Yea yea, get a move on." Sam dragged herself off the couch going to grab her back pack."And don't think I forgot that we need to finish our little talk." Carly said wiggling her eyebrows.
"What little talk?" Freddie asked.
"Carly." Sam stated in a warning tone.
"Oh nothing, just that Sam has a new crush."
"Oh yea, on who?" Freddie said trying not to expose the annoying jealous feeling in his stomach.
"On no one, considering I don't have a crush."Sam stated clearly annoyed while walking out of the apartment.
"Aww come on were your friends." Carly said chasing after her.
"And don't forget your milk is free." Spencer said popping up on the counter with his eyes still closed. With raised eyebrows, Freddie slowly closed the door.
…..
" Sam?" Sam ignored Carly continuing to look through her locker. "Aww come on Sam you can't still be mad at me." Carly sighed when she still received no response. "Here look I brought a peace offing." She said holding out a bag of taffy. "Just smell, all that delicious taffy." Carly slowing began swaying the bag back in forth in front of Sam. Sam quickly reached for the bag, but Carly pulled it out of her reach. "Say you'll forgive me."
" Sure, sure anything. Just give me the dang taffy!" Sam exclaimed grabbing the bag, wasting no time to stick the first piece in her mouth.
"Whose says taffy can't fix all your problems?" Carly laughed.
"Ladies." Freddie said walking over to join the girls.
"Hey Freddie."
"Ummfm." Sam replied sticking another piece of taffy in her mouth.
"Ooo taffy , can I have some?" He asked while reaching for a piece. Sam growled and Carly quickly pulled his arm back.
"Freddie you know how protective Sam gets over her taffy."
"Carly's right nub, next time you reach for my bag you might pull back a nub."
"Hey did you guys see the flyer they posted up about that new camp?"
"No what camp."
"Here look at this." Freddie said holding up a flyer.
"Nerd camp?"
"Too easy." Sam sated putting another piece of taffy in her mouth .
"No it's not Nerd camp. N.E.R.D is an acronym; it stands for New Electronic Research and Development."
"Ok that makes more sense." Carly stated nodding her head while looking at the flyer.
"No I think I like it the other way better."
"Ha ha." Freddie said dryly. "This camp only accepts one hundred teens from around the world to take part in designing and learning about the latest in technology equipment, just imagine what I could learn and how much it could possibly improve iCarly, and not to mention what it would look like on my college applications." Freddie smiled.
"Wow Freddie it sounds great, so what do you have to do to get in?"
"Well I'll need three teacher references, a demonstration of my tech skills, and then I have to complete the application which is like ten pages long. After that if I make the cut, I go before the board for an interview…but..
"What…why a but?
"It's just I don't know if I'm good enough yet."
"Of course you are, you have one of the greatest technical minds in Seattle!" Carly exclaimed.
"Yea?" Freddie asked with a smile raising an eyebrow.
"Yea!" Calry exclaimed looking to Sam expectantly. Getting no response she elbowed the girl.
"Nerd camp is so you." Sam blurted out.
"But what about iCarly, who's going to film and stuff while you're gone?"
"Well I have this friend Brad, whose really great , and is a huge fan, he would love to help out."
"So what we get like a two week break from your face, I'm down." Sam laughed putting another piece of taffy in her mouth.
"Actually you'll get more of a two month vacation."
"Wow it's for the whole summer? Carly asked with raised eyebrows" Sam momentarily tuned out of the conversation, trying desperately not to choke on the piece of taffy in her mouth. Two months, two months! How could she go without seeing…torturing him for two months! As much as she heated to admit it, Sam knew she would miss the little geek, for iCarly's sake of course, they couldn't just trust their web show to one of the nubs friends. Who didn't know anything about doing the show, or who didn't know what their best angles are and junk, or who didn't have those amazing brown eyes…."
"Sam…Sam!" Carly said while waving a hand in front of her eyes.
"Oh …yea…huh?" Sam asked confused.
"You were mumbling something, something about eyes?" Freddie sated looking a little worried.
"Yea , you know potatoes have eyes, and you know how much mama loves her some papas fritas." Sam laughed.
"Anyway." Carly said shaking her head. "I'm really going to miss you Freddie." She said while giving him a hug. "But I'm also really happy for you, you so deserve this."
"Well don't go throwing me a going away party just yet, I still have to get through the application process." Freddie laughed.
"Oh come on Freddie you and I both know you're a total shoe in to that camp." Carly said with a smile. Turing away from the pair and back to her locker, Sam took a deep breath feeling an incurable pain in her chest.
Because she knew it too.
