Chapter2
Sam's POV
The alarm came on at 6 in the morning. I have finished breakfast, showering. Has miss benson heard about hot water it's only warm. I thought. I'm now just sitting on the bed and all I want to do is watch more of that video and my curiosity grows. I gave into my curiosity and pulled Freddie's computers and open the video file.
I push play. "It was my first day at Ridgeway middle school. In almost all my classes I have two people in them. One is my neighbor Carly Shay her personality is very positive and bright. The other person is a girl name Sam she's interesting. We don't get along and I can't sense her emotions or personality it is really wired.
Today Carly, Sam and I started a webshow called Icarly. Sam and I haven't become friends the only reason we're hanging out is because of Carly. My mom doesn't like her and that's only because Sam is very violent she believes that Sam will hit me too hard and cause me to forget something. My mom is driving me crazy ever since dad died and my condition she's becoming too overprotective of me.
Yesterday a girl name Valerie she asked me out on Icarly but I don't know if I want to go out. However Carly and Sam both believe it is a good idea. Valerie wants to do her own web show and has asked me to be her producer. However she wants to do it the same time I do Icarly, and she was faking being upset, but I can't figure out why. Since she is my girlfriend I should help her. Sam and Carly are furious more Sam than Carly and that's weird. They told me that Valerie is just using me I didn't believe them but I could tell Carly truly believe that they were telling me the truth. I made Sam say that I was important to Icarly and she gave me a wedgie.
Sam is dating a guy name Jouhna I don't like him but who am I going to say. Sam wouldn't believe and Carly would need proof which all I have is my ability to sense emotions and auras and personality. I should just stay out of it I mean she really likes him." Just then there is a knocks on the door.
"Freddie you have to go to school." Miss benson says.
"Okay m m mom." I say as I get up but I put the computer into my backpack.
"Hey Carly are you ready to walk to school!" I yell as I walk into her apartment.
"Ya Freddie I'm ready." She yells back
"Do you have to call me that's nubs name?" I ask
"Yes it's part of the rules." She tells me as she walks down the staircase.
"It's bad enough that I have to listen to the teachers and I can't get detention." I say.
"You look good considering that you're in Freddie's clothes." She says as she looks at me outfit. It is a blue and black striped shirt with jeans pants but the shirt a little tight on my chest.
"I can't wait to see what Sam is wearing." I say.
"It will be interesting to see." Carly says
"We have to go we have to talk with principal Franklin about our switch." I remind her.
"You're right let's go." She says as we walk to the door.
Carly and I have been waiting in the principal's office for thirty minutes. "Where is Sam?" I ask. "It's boring just waiting here." I say.
"Ha ha that's ironic coming from you Freddie." Carly says to me. Before I could snap a reply the door opens and Sam walks in eating turkey bacon breakfast burrito.
"Hey what's up." He says. he looks almost just like me. I thought. He's wearing a red and black striped shirt and my skinny jeans, but the interesting is that he has blue eyes when he normally has brown eyes and that the shirt isn't lopsided at the chest.
"What's up where were you?" I ask
"Chill out dork don't get your antibiotics underwear in a bunch I'm here so let's just get this started." he replies.
"Well since you both seem to be fine with this here is how it goes. Freddie all your work will go to The real Sam and all your work he points to, Sam who is Freddie, will go to the real Freddie. That's because we don't allow plagiarism." He tells us.
"Fine." Sam and I say.
"Hey what took you so long?" I ask him.
"My sister showed up this morning and I had to talk with her." She says as my mouth forms a o shape, and she smiling at me.
"Hey how did you get your eyes to be blue?" Carly asks
"Oh I got colored contacts ." He says
"Oh Freddie I need your locker combination since we are switching lockers." He tells me.
"Fine" I whisper it into his ear.
"We should be going we got mis briggs class." I tell them.
Freddie's POV
I wake up at 6 in the morning. I take out a pair of contacts from a case. After I shower and put on clothes. Sam's mom bought me a pair of fake boobs because she thought the water balloons could break. so I put them into my bra then I put the contacts into my eyes and the wig on my head.
I get up and go to eat something. When the bedroom door opens.
"good morning Melanie." I say
"Hey is there anything you could tell me that might help me get Sam's attitude down?" I ask her.
"Sure this will be interesting." She told me.
"Sam hates being called Samantha which is because that's what our father use to call her before he left. She hates to give people the ability to hurt her so she never shows her emotions." She tells me. That's why I can't feel her emotions unless she lets that wall down. I thought.
When I look at the clock it is 7 o'clock and I realize that I shouldn't care since I am Sam. Right after I was about to close the forI ask "Oh can I borrow money for a burrito." She smiles and gives me fifteen bucks. "Thank you sis for your help." I said as I left the house.
When I got to school it was 7:30 I was fifteen minutes late to the meeting that we have with the principal. I just walked in like nothing matters. "Hey what's up." I say to them as I enter.
After the meeting I went to my new locker and there was bacon in it. I love being Sam right now. I have to get detention today. I thought the bell rings I enter my class and sit right behind Freddie
"Hey dork what are we doing." I ask Freddie.
"Were getting pairs up for our project." She responded me.
"Carly and Gibby your project has to be on character development. The next group is Freddie benson and Sam Puckett. Your project is on the emotions development of frenemies." She says. Freddie and I have our mouths drop of everything we could get be assigned we had to get something about frenemies. I smile. "Don't worry munch you can do this." I say to her. How am I going to do a project when I have to act like Sam and I have to get detention. I thought.
"Sam are you eating a burrito in my class?" Miss briggs
"Ya" I say as I eat it in front of her. "It's my breakfast." I added
"No eating in my class detention." She tells me. I finish the burrito in the next big bit.
"Okay." I say as I sit back down.
Sam's POV
Look at Freddie he is doing a great job as me he has the attitude down, he's last and now that we're put on this group that means I'm going to have to do most of the work because I'm Freddie. "The computer is low on battery I'm going to sit over there." I point at the corner to as I'm talking to him.
"Okay I don't care." He replies. Why is it that his response bothers me. I thought. I have done that to him a few times. I sit down and starts looking things up about evolution about frenemies. After twenty minutes the bell rings and it's time for Advanced computer class. When I got into the class I sat in the back when the teacher came in gave the assignment to code a website about something important to you and he passed a rubric."You didn't give me a rubric."
"Oh Freddie you have already done this assignment last Friday your good for the week." He replied
It's been fifteen minutes of researching about frenemies but I'm getting bored so I open the video file and press the unpause button.
"So Sam and Carly like the same boy and they have a challenge the first person he kisses for more the three seconds will date him. I got roped into this first by Sam uses my crush on Carly to help her. This is the second time Sam and I have agreed to work together.
So we played a joke on lewbert on Icarly and he got really hurt my mom decided to take care of him. Sam and Carly joke about how their dating and lewbert could become my new Dad . i get Sam to pushes me down a flight of stairs and my mom sees this. Lewbert doesn't care he is upset about how blood is on the floor and how they're missing their dinner reservations. Mom stopped dating lewbert so I guess I can thank Sam. I won't to her face because she's would insalt me Or break my arm." File Freddie says. The bell rings and it's time for lunch.
Carly's POV
Man Freddie can play Sam very well. Well I guess when you get picked on by the person and have had many arguments and challenges it becomes easy. I thought.
"Hey Carly how has your day been?" Freddie asks. I look up and try to hold back a chuckle.
"God what happened to you?" I ask her
"Sam put a glider bomb in my locker so when I opened it a cloud of glitter hits me." she respond angrily.
"It's funny Freddie can play you so well." I said to her. Just before Freddie can respond Gibby passes the table there is smoke coming from his pants.
"Gibby what happened to you?" Freddie asks him.
"Sam gave me a Texas wedgie." He told us.
"What it's not even lunch yet." I said
"What's up dork?" A voice asks behind Freddie. When Freddie moves to the lefts Sam gives her a wet Willy in his right ear.
"What's that for?" She asks
"Because I feel like it Freddweiner." Was Sam's response.
"So what have you been doing?" He asks me.
"Nothing much my day has been regular beside watching you two act as each other." I respond.
"How are we going to do Icarly we're Freddork over there (he tilts his head to Freddie.) is handling all the affects and I have to be co-host?" He asks
"I haven't thought about that we should do a rehearsal after school." I reply
"I can't do it after the school I have A/V and chess club after school." Freddie chips in.
"Ya I can't either I have detention after school today." Sam says.
"I guess we could do it after you guys are done than you guys can have dinner at my house." I tell them.
"Can I sleep over Carl's." Sam asks
"Why?" I was surprised.
"Melindie is starting to drive me crazy plus I can sleep on the couch down stairs." He says
"Well I guess that's fine." I tell him.
"Thanks." He says. Sam pulls out a fat cake and starts eating it. The rest of lunch was silent.
After school
Carly's apartment
Freddie's POV
Freddie barges into Carly's apartment and walks up the stairs to the Icarly studio.
When he enters he sees Carly sitting on one of the bean bags. "Hey Carly how are you doing?" I ask.
"I'm doing fine just wait for you guys. Hey how is playing Sam?" She asks me
"It's harder that I thought it would be." I reply.
"How so?" She responded
"Okay so the first two days Saturday and Sunday I was learning how to be Sam from her mom. Then Melanie shows up and I told her about the challenge and asked if she could help me. You know to truly understand how to act like Sam. Plus I can't fight with Sam. If I try to tackle her she will win she's stronger if I do anything to the locker it will stay that way until next week when I have to fix it then the pranks take awhile to come up with." I tell her.
"Well what about Melanie you said she was becoming annoying?" She asks
"Ya she has. Every time she has a nightmare she hopes into my bed and I told her that she had to get back into her bed. However I didn't know that apparently Sam allows Melanie to get into her bed. Then she says when she is here they would watch a movie. So I said that sounds great. Melanie puts in a horror movie and sits next to me every and I mean every time a little small scary or creepy sean comes on she grabs my arm and quickly hides her face into my chest." I responded.
"Well anything interesting happened so far while you were Sam." She asks me
"Well some I had to shave my leg hair because Sam's pants were so tight that they were being pulled and were uncomfortable." I said. Plus everyone compares me to you and Melanie. I think.
"I'm hungry I'm going to go raid your fridge." I said to Carly as I close the door.
Sam's POV
I entered the apartment to see Sam heading to the fridge, so I walk to the studio. When I open the door Carly is sitting in a bean bag and is looking at me.
"Hey Carly how have you been?" I ask
"Good, you just missed Sam." She tells me.
"No I saw him heading towards your fridge." I reply
"So how is it playing Freddie." She ask
"It's annoying." I say
"How so?" She responds
"Okay I will tell you. So on Saturday Crazy decided to wake me up at 6 in the morning because if I sleep in on the weekend than my sleep cycle will be off. Then breakfast she made pancakes will asparagus then she made me sign a contract that I double shampoo after I got out of the shower. Then I had to go and knit with her and go pottery making with her. Puls she won't allow me to have anything sweet and/or fattening.
Then on Sunday I had to go to church and she wakes me up at 6 again and she kept having fire drills all throughout the night. When I got to church like fifteen kids run at me and they're pulling my hands and all yell for me to play with them. Crazy had to explain to the kids and their parents that Freddie and I switch places for the week. So I had to read to them, carry them on my back, then after church me all went to the park where I had to play tag, simon says, and push them on the swings. When I got back I was very tired so I tried watching t.v but Crazy blocked all the good channels. Plus these clubs are all driving me crazy archery I can't even get the arrow to make five feet. Chess club I was losing every match and A/V club I didn't even understand what they were trying to do. So I'm like physically tired every night." I tell Carly.
"Ya Freddie is having a problem to being you." She says.
"Really what's the problem?" I ask
"Well the big problem is that Melanie is flirting with him." She responds.
"How so?" I says shocked.
"She is faking nightmares to climb into his bed and when he tells her that she has to go back to her bed she claims that you always allow her to do it. Then she had them watch a horror movie and kept putting her head into his chest when a gross part came on or a scary scene." She told me.
"Well she doesn't like scary movies." I respond.
"Hey should we start the rehearsal scene we all are here?" Asked a voice behind me.
"Sure I reply." As I walk to the cart. Carly takes out a piece of paper and she and Sam talk about what they should say and what to add.
I open the computer and start press buttons to know what causes what, but then the computer goes blank. I try pressing more buttons but nothing is working.
"Hey guys something happened to the laptop." I tell them.
"Sam can you please fix it?" I ask as I grit my teeth.
"You're the nerd why should I know?" He ask
"Because it's your laptop." I says
"Sam can you at least try?" Carly asks
"I can't I'm Sam she's Freddie I'm not allowed to do that." He tells us.
"Please Sam just forget about the bet right now if you don't fix it then we can't do Icarly this week." I said.
"Fine." He says. as he walks to the computer.
"You caused it to crash just give me a minute." He said. The screen brightens.
"There it's all set." He says.
"Thank you." I said.
"Hey I'm thirsty I'm going to go get a soda you want one?" Carly asks.
"I would like one." I reply.
"me too." Sam says. Sam and I stand there awkwardly.
"Look would you like me to show you how to do the effects?" He asks me.
"I would like that but I don't have the time." I told him.
"How about tonight. I'm staying Over here." He says.
"Fine I want to be able to do this on Icarly." I respond.
"Well there's a ham downstairs I'm going to eat it." He says. When Carly and Sam came back up the rest of the rehearsal went smoothly.
Night
Freddie's POV
I hear a soft knock on the door and when I open it Freddie was behind it.
"Come in." I say
"Thank you." She responds. The two walk to up the stairs. After twenty minutes Freddie could now easily use the computer. Freddie and Sam are just sitting in the car seats and trying to think of something to talk about.
"Hey can for right now I be me and you be you?" I ask.
"Sure." She responded.
"Here." I say to her as a give her a fat cake.
"Why are you giving me this?" Sam asks.
"I know my mom and she hasn't bought a single piece of junk food since I can remember." I reply
"Thank you. Hey I hear that my sister is flirting with you." She says.
"She is I didn't know." I respond with a confused voice.
"Ya she doesn't claim into my bed and she doesn't like to watch scary movies." She tells me.
"Oh thank god. I can tell her to stop." I respond.
"Why?" She asks.
"She's too much of a daffodil." I said
"Wait I thought you liked daffodils. I mean you like Carly." She asks in a surprised voice.
"Well Carly may be a little daffodil but she's still tough. I think she gets it from you." He says.
"What do you mean?" She asks
"I'm only going to say this once. I think because you two are best friends you gain a little piece of the other person's personality. Carly is girly-girl but she gets her ability to speak her mind and her toughness from you." I say.
"Well what do I get from Carly?" She ask.
I start feeling uncomfortable. "You have the toughness, the free voice, but you get your girly side from her." I reply
"What girly side?" She looks at me as if she doesn't believe me.
"Okay. You get your sensitive side. Remember when that kid called you aggressive. You throw him into the lockers. Then after your birthday you became a daffodil just so the boy you liked would ask you out, and finally remember when you got that job. You lied to me about one of my family members being sick so I didn't see you cry. Those all point to you having a sensitive side." I say.
"Is it easy being me?" I ask.
"No your schedule is exhausting." She tells me. I laugh. "What about me?" She asks.
"No something are easier than others are. Like the quick wit and the I don't care attitude." I respond. "My teachers aren't giving you a hard time?" I ask her.
"Oh because some are honorees classes?" She ask. I nodded my head.
"Their okay some are harder than others." She replies.
"You know you're a lot smarter than you give yourself credit." I tell her.
"What do you mean?" She asks me.
"All of these pranks you pull are genius plus all your ideas for Icarly are great." I tell her.
"This is weird coming from us." She tells me.
"You're right." I say.
"I should go before Crazy flips out that I'm not asleep." She says.
"I won't tell anyone you're here or anything we have talked about." I said as she's heading to the door. Just as she's opened the door she turns her head and says "thank you and same here." She then closes the door. I start feeling sleepy and decided I'm going to sleep in the car seats but after I get something to eat.
