A Story In Which Sabrina Dies At The End – Chapter Three.
Thank you to all my reviewers on the last.. oh wait. There aren't any.
Oh well, I'll thank the guys who reviewed the first chapter:

Sabrina wasn't having a great day.
It wasn't even good.
Nor mediocre.
Horrible.
She was leaving.
Her father. Another new job. She was sick of it. Every single time she was settled, bam, another promotion or sidewards move to another state, another city. Another place to have to find another set of friends. Another school to be the weird freakishly tall new girl with the over the top orange hair at.
Her mind was preoccupied, having just received The Call again. This time it was from her mom. After some semi-pointless small talk and being asked to run some errands Sabrina had been told the news, her head fell but her feet kept moving. Sabrina tapped away at her phone, sending a text message to her brother to get his reaction. Having finished sending the text, she opened her purse to put the phone away.
Sabrina didn't notice Gibby walking around the corner with a big bowl in his hands. He was performing his part of a school health program, handing out fliers on safe sex and giving out free condoms to anyone who asked.
They blindsided each other, the bowl and it's contents, the fliers, Sabrina's purse, phone all arcing through the air.
Gibby spun around, smacking his head on a locker. He hit with a thud. The sharp metal dug into his skin, creating a small cut above his eye.
Sabrina twisted and fell to the floor with a crash. The phone skittered across the floor.
Gibby stirred first, his hand reaching up to his face to feel the cut. He then looked at Sabrina, and stood up to help her.
"You okay?" He asked.
"Uh.. yeah. Sorry, I wasn't looking."
"No biggie." He grabbed her hand and with her nod of permission helped to lift her off the floor.
"Thanks. Look at the mess." Sabrina reached down to pick up the fliers, only for Gibby to stay her hand.
"I got this."
"Sure?"
"Yeah. It's all good.."
Sabrina walked over, picked up her phone, shoved it in her purse and looked back at Gibby scrabbling over the floor.
He noticed her watching, "It's fine, don't worry about it, for real." He smiled, and went back to cleaning.
"Okay... well I'm sorry again, thanks for helping me up. You're a real gentleman Gibby."
"Just like mom taught me."
With that Sabrina walked away, out of the school building and into the street. She was meant to be meeting Freddie, Carly and Sam to discuss a group project they were given by Mr. Henning, but now it'd be a farewell of sorts.
Having walked her way to the nearest shopping mall she started on her errands.
Her mom was leaving tomorrow to setup in their new city, and needed something to read on the flight out.
She hated having to ask for it, but her mom was a huge fan.
"Um.. has Breaking Dawn been released yet?" Sabrina quietly asked the assistant, a woman in her early 20's with short dark hair and black rimmed glasses. The name tag read Aria.
The shop assistant rolled her eyes.
"It's not for me, it's for my mom."
The assistant managed to turn what Sabrina guessed was a constant frown into a slightly upturned smile.
"Good, that thing is a piece of anti-feminist junk. At least your mom is too old to actually believe that's the way a woman should act. Buffy would've staked Jacob and Edward without breaking a sweat. Wait here."
The assistant made her way to a backroom, and returned a minute later. They completed the purchase and Aria handed the book over.
"Here you go. For the love of god don't read this."
"I promise."
"Good girl."
Sabrina didn't ask for a bag, instead placing the book into her purse.
Next up was the drug store.
Her mom had promised that her little sister could have the same hair color as her big sister as soon as she turned seven and a half. Sabrina didn't see the big deal. In fact, she would just about kill to swap color with her brunette headed little sis.
Sabrina was trying to match her flaming orange hair with one of the half dozen or so varieties of orange dye kits. Burnt Orange. Deep Saffron. Orange Peel. Burnished Gold. Tangelo. Sunset.
"Eh. Close enough." She said to herself. Heading back to the counter she picked up a bottle of Tylenol for her mom who often got headaches when flying.
After purchasing the items and leaving the store her phone rang.
"Where is it?" She asked herself, digging into the purse. Instead of finding the phone she found a strip of condoms.
"What the hell?" Sabrina shook her head, and shoved them back in her purse, as the phone was still ringing. She fished the phone out of the purse.
Freddie's face was on the splash screen with the caption "wuvvy duv".
"Hey you." She said.
"Hey yourself, are you almost there? Me Sam and Carly are a couple minutes away."
"Yeah, I just had to stop off at the drug store."
Freddie made a few inquires and determined which drug store she was talking about.
"Rina," Freddie said, using his pet name for her, "Turn to your left."
Sabrina did so.
"No, your other left."
There she turned and saw the iCarly trio standing across the other side of the street.
"Cool, I'll come over to meet you." Sabrina stepped out into the street, having checked both ways when she was looking for Freddie.
She missed the Metro bus that had just turned into the street and was going 25mph.
Notes: I think there will be one more chapter.
