CHAPTER TWO
Carly came to school upset. Sam nor Freddie showed up last night to do the show. It was the second day and she knew things would change in about a second. She got straight to her locker when she saw Sam standing there near hers.
"Hey Carls, I'm sorry about last night…I completely forgot. I went to go do-" Sam tried to explain.
"Forget about it." Carly replied shoving books into her locker and taking some out.
"I'll make it up to you."
"I said forget about it!" Carly left as the bell rang. Sam stood there feeling horrible.
Carly marched right into Advanced English taking a different seat this time. Freddie knew she was mad about yesterday but he moved right next to her anyways. "Hey Carly" he said
She didn't say anything. She just looked up at the board.
Durring lunch Carly carried her tray and looked around. There was practically nowhere to sit. She didn't even wanna bother sitting with Sam and her new friends or even sit with Freddie and his nerds. She was gonna walk out to the hallway again to sit with Gibby.
"Cute shoes" a female voice said.
Carly looked around to see who said that and if they were talking to her. She looked behind her and it was Shannyn.
"Are you talking to me?" Carly asked.
"Of course I am, silly" she smiled. Shannyn was gorgeous. She had light brown hair, hazel eyes, and pouty lips.
"Oh. Well in that case, thanks"
"Sit with us."
Carly walked up to their table and sat across from Shannyn nervously. They were eyeing her. Shannyn, blonde blue eyed Brenda, and and cutesy Ashley.
"Freshman don't dress as cute as you do. Most of them look like they're trying too hard. Like that girl over there." Shannyn pointed at Sam.
Carly let out a laugh. She didn't mean to but it just came out. "So what's your name?" Brenda asked.
"I'm Carly. Carly Shay."
"Oh my god…you do that webshow!" Ashley pointed out "I LOVE iCarly. That show is way fierce."
"Slightly famous and stylish…" Shannyn looked Carly in the eye "I think you can roll with us, girly…"
"I…I um, I dunno what to say…" Carly was speechless.
"Just say you're glad. We don't-DON'T let freshies hang out with us. But we're making an exception for you."
"Cause we think we might like you."
Carly sat there smiling and chatting with her new friends. The most popular girls in school actually accepted her and thought she was cool. Meanwhile, Sam turned around from her table and found Carly sitting there with Shannyn, Brenda, and Ashley. She was a little down.
After school, Carly walked out of the building and found Freddie out there in front waiting for her. She continued to walk as Freddie was trailing behind her "Carly…What's wrong? Are you mad at me?"
She still didn't say anything.
"Is this because of yesterday?"
Carly came to a stop and then turned around "Neither you or Sam showed up yesterday."
"I knocked on the door and no one answered."
"Spencer and I went out to eat. But still you could have called me. Oh, and how about lunch time? You left me to be with those geeks…"
"Look, Carls. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to leave you. You know I love you. I've been trying to talk to you all day today…"
Carly looked into Freddie's pleading eyes. It was pathetic the way he was devoted to her. But he was one of her best friends "Come on, lets get home. I'm too happy to be angry…" the two walked back home together.
"Oh no…is it because of that Sean guy?"
"No…I just…I sat with Shannyn, Brenda and Ashley during lunch."
"Dude, they're all so hot…well, you're hot too but damn!"
"I know. Me. And the popular girls…"
"You like it, don't you?"
"Are you kidding me, I LOVE IT!"
Carly and Freddie walked all the way back to their building. Once they got to their floor, they parted ways into their apartments. Once inside, Carly dumped her stuff on the couch "Spencer!!" she yelled out "Where are you, I've got great news to say to you!!"
Spencer came out of the room "What's going on?"
"I hung out with the popular kids today!!"
"That's great! Gosh, who ever though? A Shay would go on to be with the popular crowd in high school"
"Wait, you told me you hung out with the popular group back in high school…"
"I might have stretched the truth a little. I was kinda-"
"Not in the popular crowd?"
"Very true."
There was a knock at the door. Carly went to go get it. When she answered, it was Sam in the door way "Hey" she said.
"I told you to leave me alone and just forget everything…"
"I know you're upset over the whole me finding new friends thing…and I just wanna say that that was a really dumb thing for me to do. You're my best friend."
"If I'm your best friend then why would you act like I'm not around when your friends are there?"
"Honestly, you don't get the things that we talk about."
Carly was looking at her like Sam had become a new person "Just get out of here, okay?" she closed the door. Sam stood outside not wanting to leave just yet. She shed a small tear before completely leaving the building. This was worse than when they fought over the iCarly shirt and Cuddlefish tickets.
The next day after school, Carly walked out of school and met up with Shannyn, Brenda and Ashley. "Oh hey, There's gonna be a party tonight at Blake's house tonight. You comin' along?" Shannyn asked.
"Uh…I would but I don't have a ride and I don't think my brother would-"
"No worries. I can drive you."
Carly looked at Shannyn like she was kidding "Um, but at aren't you like fifteen?"
"I've been driving since I was thirteen! But just in the backyard. With My Dad of course."
"Shannyn is an excellent driver." Brenda added.
"So I'll see you at nine?"
"Yeah, sure! Hold on, lemme give you my address" Carly grabbed a notepad from her bag and scribbled her address down.
"Will your parents be okay?"
"Well, I live with my older brother. But I think he would be cool with it." Honestly, she didn't know what Spencer would think.
"Coolness. Well I'll see you tonight. Love you, bitch." Shannyn, Brenda, and Ashley let on their way.
Carly began walking home as Freddie came up to her "Hey Carls, I was waiting for you."
"Oh, sorry…"
"So its Friday night and I was thinking you, me, and Sam could watch a movie. I can tell my Mom to drop us off at the Cineplex tonight and-"
"Sorry, I have plans. And Sam and I are still fighting…"
"What?" Freddie couldn't believe which was worse. Carly having plans or Carly and Sam still fighting "Okay, where are you going and why are you still fighting with Sam? I talked to her and she is really really sorry and all she wants to do is be your friend again…"
"Well, she should have thought of that before she did what she did."
A few hours later, Carly was back at home in the iCarly studio getting dressed for the party. It was her first high school party and she wanted to look presentable.
Meanwhile, Spencer was working on a sculpture as the doorbell rang. He ran over to the door and answered it "Hello."
Shannyn in her tight mini skirt and pink sweater appeared at the door "Hey" she looked at Spencer with lust in her eyes.
"You're here for Carly right?"
"I could be here for you too" Shannyn made her way in "So you must be Carly's older brother. So what are you like…nineteen?" she touched his arm and squeezed his bicep.
"I'm twenty six. And you're jailbait." He gently took her hand of his arm.
"I like 'em old"
Spencer made his way upstairs trying to get rid of Shannyn "Carly! You have company!" he yelled.
"Oh my god!" Carly took a quick look at herself in the mirror and then left the studio and came downstairs "Hey" she said "Shannyn, this is my brother Spencer. Spencer, this is Shannyn.."
"We've already met. You didn't tell me your brother was hot…"
Carly looked at her strangely "Well, I don't really think about that stuff."
"So are you ready to go?"
Carly didn't tell Spencer about the party. She turned to him "Um, Spence. I kinda…um, do you mind if I go out with Shannyn tonight?"
"To the movies? Oh yeah, you asked me already. Remember?"
"Well, um, there's this party and…"
"A high school party? I don't know…"
"Please please please!!"
"Well, this is your first high school party…" he looked over at Shannyn "Will there be drinks?"
"Only the soda and juice kind!" Shannyn replied.
"Parental supervision?"
"Always!"
Spencer then looked at Carly "I suppose you can. But hey, I want you back by midnight. Oh hell, make it one thirty. Go have fun!"
Carly hugged Spencer "Oh thank you so much! You're my favorite older brother."
"I'm your only brother. Okay, now get a move on you crazy kids."
Carly and Shannyn went on their way. Carly was the first out the door and Shannyn quickly followed but not without blowing a kiss to Spencer.
Spencer shuddered at it "Great. Now that I'm out of high school, the popular girl wants me…" he then continued to work on his sculpture.
A few minutes later, Carly and Shannyn arrived at the party. The house was packed with kids and loud pulsing music. Carly was stunned at the atmosphere. They got inside the house and it was like a jungle. Kids everywhere. Shannyn lied. There wasn't a parent in sight.
"Shannyn! Over here!!" Brenda called out. She and Ashley were sitting on the couch.
Carly and Shannyn made their way over to them.
"You look good, Carly!" Ashley said.
"Thanks!" Carly replied.
"Thirsty, ladies?" Blake made his way to the girls with three red plastic cups.
"Oh great!" Shannyn took the cups "Carly, this is Blake Turner. Blake, this is Carly Shay."
"Hey, great party!" Carly yelled over the music "Are you a sophomore too?"
"Nah, I graduated last year!" he yelled back.
"Blake is legend at our school. Most popular boy ever and he throws the best parties. Everyone will be hearing about him till our school closes down." Brenda explained.
"Okay, you ladies enjoy the party!" he yelled some more and then disappeared into the crowd of kids.
"Here, Carls" Shannyn handed Carly a cup.
Carly looked at the drink. From the way she saw it, it looked like apple juice. She took a swig and downed it disgustingly "Ugh, gross! What is this?"
"Its beer!" Shannyn replied.
"This is disgusting! How could you drink this?"
"Girl, trust me. You'll get over the taste."
Carly took a few more swigs trying not to be bothered by the taste when a guy bumped into her and made the drink spill into her blouse. She looked at the stain and then turned around. It was Sean.
"Carly! Hey!" he said with that gorgeous smile of his.
"Sean! How's it going?" Carly replied.
Shannyn watched them. She had been having a crush on Sean since last year. Sean was a sophomore like she was. Out of all the boys she wanted in school, she wanted Sean. But he wasn't into Shannyn.
"I'm going great! I didn't know you knew Blake Turner!"
"I don't. Shannyn invited me."
Sean looked at Shannyn and then looked at Carly "Oh. Shannyn. You two know eachother?"
"Yeah! She's really sweet!"
"Excuse me" Shannyn broke up the conversation "Um, Carly, can I borrow you for a minute?"
The three looked at eachother one by one. Carly looked at Shannyn then back at Sean "Um, I'll just be…" she then turned to Shannyn "Whats up?"
"Come dance with us!" Shannyn grabbed her hand and led her to the living room where other kids were dancing. For hours Carly was dancing and enjoying herself and having a good time. Brenda kept on giving her drinks. Blake danced with Carly. It was over all madness. Meanwhile, Shannyn made her way to Sean "Hey sexy" she said.
Sean sighed "Oh here we go, the ice cold queen bitch is here…"
"Don't call me names you asshole. Besides, I didn't know you knew Carly…"
"Carlys' in my English class. She's kinda cute…"
"Cute AND smart if she's in class with you."
Back at the living room, Carly was sitting on couch laughing like a fool. She and Brenda were both drunk. Blake tried to kiss her.
"Oh pshh, come on!" Carly laughed and then checked her watch "Oh shit!" the watch read three o clock. She got up from the couch and went to find Shannyn. She spotted him with Sean "Shannyn!!" she yelled.
Shannyn turned around to see a stumbling drunk Carly walking towards her "Shannyn, I have to get home. Its like three o clock. Spencer is gonna kill me!"
"Alright." She held Carly and walked out of the house and to the car. She placed Carly in the car as she was passed out and got in and drove to her apartment. Once there, she held Carly as she got through the lobby and to her floor. She didn't wanna wake Spencer so she dumped Carly on the floor.
"Am I home?" Carly slurred.
"Yes. But I have to go. Love ya." Shannyn left.
A little later on, it was five in the morning. Carly was still on the floor passed out in front of her apartment. Freddie came out of his apartment and found Carly on the floor.
"OH MY GOD, CARLY!" He ran up to her "Wake up!" he tapped her cheek.
"Freddie?" Carly opened her eyes and slurred. She closed them again.
"Oh thank god…" he picked her up and got her inside his apartment.
