Hey guys, this is my first attempt at releasing a chapter so close to one another so please forgive me if the quality is even worse than normal. Okay, on to the story then. I do not own iCarly, Victorious or any of its characters.
Freddie had just gotten back from school and taking a shower and overhearing the argument that his aunt and uncle were having, he decided to lie down on his bed to rest.
As much as I hate to admit it, I feel a little homesick but I burned all the bridges back home so going home is out of the question. I wonder what Tori is doing right now?
Meanwhile, in the house right next door...
"Damn, I want to talk to him so bad but I have no idea what to say." Tori said out loud as she was scrolling on her laptop.
"Well, who is the lucky guy huh sis?" Trina said while popping in Tori's room much to Tori's annoyance.
"It's just this new kid in school. He's really cute, smart and nice but I don't have the guts to go up and talk to him." Tori said in a frustrated manner.
"First off, I think you should just try to find out what he likes and then try to start a conversation with that and see where does that lead." Trina advised her sister.
Tori thought about what her sister said but before she can thank her, Trina had already left the room. Tori then decided to look up some tech related stuff to try and impress Freddie.
Meanwhile in a Starbucks nearby...
Beck, Andre and Robbie were all hanging out after a long day in school.
"Damn, nothing beats a nice cup of coffee after a crap day in school." Beck said which was met with rousing approval from both Andre, Robbie and Rex.
"You know I have been wondering why does the coffee calm you down and how can we use that to our advantage." Andre thought out loud as he stared at the mocha he held in his hand.
"I think that it's just the caffeine working on your stressed out system." Robbie told Beck and Andre but they both ignored his statement.
"Or it could be that people just like enjoying a cup of coffee to get their minds off of their troubles." Rex said which was quickly ridiculed by Robbie.
"You know, I bet if we could brew a good cup of coffee. We could make a killing with it." Beck said and Andre immediately perked up when he heard Beck's idea.
"Beck, I think you're on to something. The secret is in the quality of the coffee so let's meet up later to try to make some good coffee." Andre suggested.
"Eh, I don't really have anything better to do so I'm in." Robbie stated and Beck also agreed to meet up.
The next day at school...
"I'm never going to do another assignment with you, Cat." Jade said to Cat which dented her mood a little.
"Hey, what's up guys?" Freddie said as he walked up to the gang at their respective lockers.
"Well, Beck, Robbie and I are trying to formulate the perfect brew of coffee to earn some big bucks." Andre said which earned him a laugh and a pat on the back from Freddie.
"Jade and I have been assigned the production of the fall play. Jade hasn't really been thrilled about it to say the least." Cat said to Freddie.
"There's the bell. I think we should get going before or else we will miss class." Tori said as she flashed Freddie a smile which was gladly returned by Freddie.
After school at Andre's place...
"Watching you three trying to brew a pot of coffee is better than reality television." Rex said with a laugh which only earned him a few glares from the guys.
"Seriously, I didn't know that it was so complicated to make a good cup of coffee. I now have a whole lot more respect for the guys at Starbucks." Beck said which was agreed upon by Andre and Robbie.
"Damn, brewing the perfect cup of coffee could take forever. I think we should take a break." Robbie stated.
"Come on guys, I feel that we are getting closer to reaching our target. We must not give up now." Andre said as he took a sip of the freshly brewed coffee and he was frozen in place so to speak.
Meanwhile with Freddie and Tori...
"Wow, I didn't really imagine that a girl like you to know so much about computers." Freddie said amazed as Tori tried unsuccessfully to hide the blush on her face.
"I really liked the stuff you do on iCarly so I guess that peaked my interest a little." Tori told Freddie.
"What else do you want to talk about now?" Freddie said as he wanted to avoid the topic of iCarly and the past he left behind in Seattle.
"So, who are you living with actually if your mom is still back in Seattle?" Tori asked Freddie curiously. Seems like he doesn't want to talk about iCarly, something bad must have happened.
"Well, I have been living with my aunt Alex and uncle Justin. They have been old family friends according to my mom. They are nice enough, but they argue all the time." Freddie told Tori who laughed.
"Well, I don't know about you. But that sounds like an older version of Beck and Jade to me." Tori said as she tried to stop laughing.
At the same time with Cat and Jade...
"You know, I find it odd that we are put in charge of the play. I mean we are not the top performers in school so yeah." Cat told Jade.
"You have a good point there but I really want to get this over and done with as soon as possible." Jade said to Cat as they got ready to witness the auditions.
The auditions on a whole were either exceptionally good which earned them a role in the play or hilariously bad which earned a few chuckles from the two judges.
"I got to admit that it is kind of fun watching these losers make fools out of themselves." Jade said to Cat which make her feel more at ease.
"We got to applaud their bravery to try and audition but some of them are so bad I just cant resist." Cat said which Jade agreed to.
The next person to audition made their hearts stop when they saw who it was on stage.
So, how was it? Needed to make up for lost time so there you go. Hope you enjoyed it and until next time read on.
