Disclaimer: I don't own iCarly but I own the plot.
Carly watched as her 'friend' went outside the room. She grabbed the sleeping bag and put it in the closet. She got outside and walked down the stairs.
"I can't believe Sam also likes Freddie! Well, I kinda expected that but still... Oh no, what if he likes her back? Wait, wait. This is Sam and Freddie were talking about. He practically hates her guts. Yeah! And he had a crush on me for 2 years, double yeah! Winning him is going to be easy." Carly thought with a smile
When she got in the living room, she saw the others in the kitchen. Spencer was serving his famous spaghetti tacos, Freddie was getting ready to eat while Sam sat next to Freddie, looking at him. She already changed to the clothes she was wearing last night.
Carly mentally groaned and made her way to the table. "Good morning, sis-tah!" Spencer greeted while she was walking towards the table. "Morning Spencer." She greeted back weakly.
"Alright, since everyone's here, let's dig in!" Spencer said after filling all the plates and sat down the chair near Sam.
They started to eat. Everyone was quiet except for Sam who was chewing real loud. But they were used to that.
"So, why did you eat breakfast with us Freddie?" Carly asked, breaking the silence.
"Oh see, my mom isn't going to be home and…" Freddie said.
"Your psycho mom finally got tired of you?" Sam interrupted. Freddie knew he wasn't going to win so he just rolled his eyes.
"No, she'll be back." Freddie said, a little disappointed that her mom is coming back. Sam continued to eat her food. "Anyway, she left me some salad and fruit sauce so..."
"Fruit sauce?" Sam asked again, curious.
"Uh, well…" Freddie knew he was going to be insulted but continued. "Mom thinks I'm gonna choke on fruits, so she pounds them with a mallet and…"
Sam started laughing. She stopped when she saw him glaring at her. "You mom is one crazy chick." Sam said, emphasizing the word 'crazy', while patting his shoulder.
"Can you go without interrupting me for 3 seconds?" He asked, getting annoyed.
"Now, now, where's the fun in that?" Sam replied back.
"Sam, let him finish." Carly ordered.
"Yes, mother." Sam said while rolling her eyes.
"I ate breakfast with you 'cause my mom left me junk to eat." Freddie said quickly.
"Must be suckish for you." Sam stated.
"Well, if you need anything, you can always come over here." Carly said with a caring tone while scooting her seat closer to Freddie. Sam saw this and said, "Yeah, you can always eat my ham!" while also scooting closer to Freddie.
"Wait, is Princess Puckett offering her ham to me?" He asked, a little confused. "And what do you mean your ham?" He added. He didn't notice Carly was getting closer to him.
"Everyone knows that if anyone touches the ham in the fridge, they're dead so its pretty much mine. And this is a once-in-a-lifetime offer so you might as well take it while it lasts." She said scooting even closer to him.
"Well, thanks but no thanks." Freddie said.
"You know, if you don't have anything to eat, I can always cook for you and bring it in your apartment." Spencer offered.
"That sounds great! Thanks, Spe.." He said but was cut off when he realized the girls were now too close to him, touching his shoulders. He saw them glaring at each other. "Uh, guys…" He was getting a bit uncomfortable now.
"Yeah?" They said in unison, not taking their eyes off each other.
"I… kinda need some space. You know?" He said. The girls realized that they were too close to him and moved away. "Sorry." Carly mumbled. Sam was only looking down, a little embarrassed. He glanced at Spencer, who was smiling.
And it was silent again. When they finished eating, Freddie got up. "Well, thanks for the food, Spence. See you later guys." He said while he went to the door.
"Kay, see you." Carly said and waved goodbye.
"See ya, nub!" Sam shouted.
"Whatever, Puckett." Freddie shot back while opening the door and left.
They all stood up. Spencer was cleaning the table. Sam went to the couch and got her bag. She looked back at the kitchen and saw Carly grinning.
"What's with the face?" Sam asked.
"Oh, nothing. Just the fact that Freddie hates you makes me smile." Carly replied.
"What? The dork doesn't hate me. Even if we fight all the time, we know that we really don't mean it. "
"I don't know." Carly said with a sing-song voice. "But what I do know is that he will never love you." She said mimicking Sam's voice.
"Yeah right, and like the nerd can love a priss like you." Sam shot back.
"Of course he can, he had a crush on me for 2 freaking years, remember?" Carly reminded her. "Face it Sam, he only likes girly girls like me." She added, pointing at herself.
"Whatevs, I'm outta here." And Sam went to the door and left.
After Sam got out of the elevator and in the ground floor, she took out a rock from her bag, knowing that Lewbert was going to scream again.
She got to the lobby and saw Lewbert trimming his wart hair. And as usual, he started to shout when she saw her.
"NO PEOPLE IN MY-" Lewbert screamed but stopped when Sam threw the rock at him. "OW!"
"There, better." She stated and left the building.
While walking down the streets, a lot was going on in her mind. "He only likes girly girls like me." The statement kept rewinding like a broken record. "I might not be a girly girl, but that doesn't mean he can't like me... Well, he does think of me as an abrasive blonde-headed demon and its true that he has a taste for girly girls. But I don't wanna bother changing just for him to notice me. Arghh! Why does the nub have to be so complicated? Sam thought while heading home.
After some walking, she was in their yard. The grass was long and weeds were growing in the lawn. Well, she didn't expect her mom to mow the lawn and she wasn't doing it herself either.
She opened the door and got in. And as you can guess, it was a mess inside. Beer bottles were littered everywhere and her mom was sleeping in the couch, probably passed out.
Sam went upstairs into her room. She closed the door behind it, dropped her bag on the floor and jumped on her bed.
What Carly said was getting to her. She couldn't stop worrying herself. After a while, she stood up and saw herself in the tall mirror that was standing in the side of her room. She approached it and grabbed its sides. She then smiled.
"Freddie might like girly girls, he might hate my guts and I might not want to change. But there's no way I'm backing out now." Sam said, looking at the mirror.
"'Cause Mama plays to win."
It was now Monday morning. Freddie managed to do his report yesterday by borrowing Carly's laptop. Spencer was going to drive the kids to school so he waited for Carly inside their apartment. After 10 minutes, she finally went downstairs.
She was wearing another one of her girly outfits, but her make-up was noticeable. "Must be in another boy-hunting spree." He thought.
"So, ready to go to school?" Carly asked.
"Yeah." He replied and looked around. "Where's Sam?"
"Oh, she said she was going to school alone. Don't know why..." She said, pretending she didn't know anything.
"Oh.. okay." He felt a little bummed that Sam isn't with them.
"Alright kiddos, let's roll!" Spencer said with his usual childish voice.
The three went outside the building. They noticed Lewbert had a huge bump in his forehead, but just shrugged it off. They saw the car and got in. Spencer sat in the front of course, and Freddie was in the back. Carly sat next to him.
"Aren't you going to sit in front?" Freddie asked.
"No, I'm fine right here." They heard the ignition sound and the car took off
"Okay." Freddie then stared at the car window.
It was silent for a little while, Spencer didn't turn on the radio. Knowing there's only little time, Carly leaned her head on Freddie's shoulder. He noticed this and looked at her.
"You still tired?" Freddie questioned.
"Yeah, didn't sleep well last night." She lied, looking at his deep brown eyes.
"Well, rest while you can. You don't want to be asleep in class." Then, he looked back at the window.
She closed her eyes. "Wow, his shoulders are so comfortable. I wonder if he has muscles? And those eyes are so mesmerizing. I wish this would never end..." Carly thought.
But of course, it ended... rather quickly. "Hey, were here." Freddie nudged Carly off. Carly looked outside and saw the school. "Oh man!"
She was disappointed but quickly got out of the car with Freddie. She closed the door and looked at Spencer. "See you later."
"Okay, have fun at school!" And Spencer's car took off again.
The two got inside and went to their lockers. After Freddie was done organizing, he went to Carly's locker.
"So, ready for your report?" He asked while showing his paper.
"Wow, you sure did put a lot of effort in there." Carly said.
"Why thank you, I-"
"Hey guys!" He was cut off by a familiar voice. He turned around and his eyes widened at what he saw.
"S-Sam?"
So what do you think now? Like/hate the little moment? *puts up flame shield* Don't worry Seddie fans! The tale has just begun...
Review and tell me what you think. Thanks again!
