Ha-ha, you're funny :) - Stephanie

Once I saw that flash on my screen, I had to prevent myself from laughing. After all, the dumb professor is lecturing even though nobody is paying attention. I'm just playing words with Friends with Tori on her drive in.

Thank you :) I replied.

Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah…man, this prof needs to learn that nobody really cares since he said we could learn it ourselves.

Where are you?

In class.

Shouldn't you be listening to the teacher?

Professor and no. He said we could learn it on our own. So that's what I'm going to do.

What's your major?

Theatre Arts.

OOH! Where did you go to HS?

Hollywood Arts.

I went to a play there once! They were really good. It was a romantic comedy.

I remember that one since it was the last play ever and the last one I did.

Cool! Where do you go to school? I replied.

USC

Major?

Zoology.

Nice, what do you want to do with it?

"Riiiing!"

Stupid bell.

I quickly gather my stuff and start off to Sikowitz's.

The crowd outside is a lot larger for some reason today, maybe since it's the last day to drop a class. I'm fine, everything is easy and I am taking the max work load for this semester.

By the time I get there, I have to go right in, so I don't get caught in the normal rush right after the bell. When I enter I see that Tori has saved me a seat next to her with Beck opposite me.

I quickly snatch it up saying "Thanks Tori." And smiling thankfully.

I moved to my next class Steph, and no texting in here, so I'll talk later ok? I sent that off and tucked it inside my bag.

The mood inside the class was its normal oblivious self. It took me a moment to notice that Beck had moved as far away from me without actually changing seats and that Cat was behind him, looking at her phone.

Talk to the ditzy girl Rob, I want to see you fail today.

Shut it Rex.

If she doesn't want to talk, then fine. We won't talk. Ball is in her court.

"Good Monday everyone, I hope you had a good weekend because for many of you, this is going to be a very bad week." Sikowitz greeted.

"Good morning to you too." Someone grumbled.

"You! Yes, you. Get up here." Sikowitz ordered, and the accused grumbler went to the front.

"How was your weekend?" Sikowitz said cheerily.

He was clearly taken aback. "Good sir and yours?"

"It was wonderful thank you. Want to know why?" Sikowitz offered.

If you give a mouse a cookie…

"Why?" He asked.

"I didn't have to deal with people like you!"

He'll take it away at the last minute and hit you over the head.

I laughed along with Tori, Jade and the others. Most of the class was silent.

"Now, one more thing." Sikowitz said as he started to walk off stage, causing him to step back up.

"Yes?" He said, visibly angry.

"Act like a rooster."

"WHY?"

"Sometimes you have to be something other than a human. Now, crow!"

He attempted to crow, but his voice cracked, which sent the whole class into raucious laughter.

"I'm out of this crazy class!" He yelled, grabbing his bag and storming out.

Sikowitz suddenly went very happy. "Well congratulations to one lucky person. Because he walked, you will be able to stay."

Everyone seemed shocked, then smiled.

He's not evil after all, just tough. You get thru that and you'll be in the clear.

"Now! On the play. We are going to be doing a modern twist on a age old story. Achilles and the Trojan horse. Now, there are scripts in the back—"

Some people started towards the back.

Sikowitz sighed. "—but don't get them UNTIL I dismiss you!" He said. Two people finally realized that and sheepishly sat down.

"Today we'll be acting in a way I love. Sinjin, turn the temperature down."

Sinjin did as instructed and the temperature started dropping rapidly. Tori and Jade quickly grabbed out sweatshirts from their bags.

"Today is all about acting in a situation you clearly aren't physically prepared for. You can ad-lib just about anything, but when the problem is out of your control, you still have to be able to produce. Now, Cindy, please get up to the stage.

One of the more talented people I didn't know stepped up on stage.

"Now…who to go…ROBBIE! Please join Mrs. Cindy." Sikowitz said.

I stepped on stage and saw Tori smiling encouragingly and Cat looking AT HER PHONE!

Hah! The red head doesn't give a damn! You are screwed Robbie.

I gotta go get him out of my head.

"Now…Robbie, take off your shirt."

"What? Sir—"

"No, it's part of the exercise."

I groan and grudgingly take my shirt off.

Good Lord It is freezing! What did Sinjin set it to? -1100?

Someone in the crowd wolf-whistles, which causes the whole class to laugh. I look out to see who it was to see Beck giving Tori a weird look.

Yep, it was Tori.

What's wrong with her?

More like what is wrong with you, you dumb freaking puppet. You don't even exist.

And yet here I am.

I glance out to see Cat covering me with her hands like a little girl, accompanied by Sikowitz looking from her to me and back to her, looking very confused.

"Cindy, please come here." Sikowitz asked. They exchanged a quick conversation and then she revealed a purple tank top and rejoined me on stage.

"Ok then, now you both are stuck in the Sahara, trying to figure out the best way to make it out alive. GO!" Sikowitz said, then disappearing.

"How did this happen again?" She said in a British accent. I've never spoken to her so I don't know if that's actually her.

"Our horse ran away, stranding us in the middle of the Sahara, what do you think happened?" I say, trying to think of the actual Sahara as opposed to the freezing cold room. I swear, if the temp keeps dropping, I'll soon be seeing my breath.

"What are we going to d-dd-do?" She shivered.

I breathed in heavily, and as I exhaled, I saw my breath. Great Sinjin. If it's worth doing, might as well way overdo it.

"I don't know. Try to stay as cool as possible?"

Oh the irony. Talking about the Sahara in a freezing cold room with a cold floor. Nice day to wear flip flops Robbie.

He must have chosen the Sahara and this cold classroom because of the opposites. Good challenge I admit.

"Sounds like a plan. Now how exact-tt-tly do you say we pull this of-ff?" She chattered.

Can't blame her, the temp keeps dropping.

"Move at night and find cover during the day."

I have to admit, thinking about the Sahara makes this a little better. It still sucks majorly.

"Ok, but which way do you want to go?"

"Well, the sun is that way." I pointed somewhere random. "And I know that the Sahara is shortest to the east, so…that way!" I pointed dramactically.

We fake marched oof to where the door is, and then ran back to the stage.

"Not that way! Those guys have guns!" She shrieked, holding onto me for dear life.

More like trying to stay warm.

"Yeah, uh, how about we find some—"

"Sinjin! How cold di you put that thermostat?" Sikowitz cried out. I saw that everyone was curled up into balls and slowly coming closer together.

"40." He said matter of factly, being the only one unaffected.

"No you idiot! It's -2 right now! You broke it! Class dismissed! It's too cold!" Sikowitz yelled. I quickly grabbed my shirt and backpack and followed the crowd trying to get out.

By the time I got my shirt on again, everyone but Andre was gone.

"Nice job staying in character, that was horrible." Andre congratulated me as I checked my messages.

OK! Good luck! Text me when you get out!-Stephanie

I smiled, not knowing Andre was reading the message as well.

"Who's she?" he asked, snapping me out of a daydream.

"The blonde girl."

"Really. Nice man, she's hot."

"Thanks, she's got a rebel streak, have you seen her face?" I asked.

"No, why?"

"Lip and nose piercings. Not bad, pretty different though." I told him.

He sighed and smiled as my phone vibrated.

"You and the girls around you man. Crazy." He smirked, clapping me on the back and walked off.

You out yet?

I am, and do I have a story for you…

(A/N: Ok guys, now I've been thinking this for a while but have held off in the hopes it would change but it didn't. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but it seems like that both the iCarly and Victorious sections on here have been suffering thru a dead zone of good content. That maybe because I found this site when the iCarly fics 'The Pact' and 'Beneath The Pale Moonlight' started, but I haven't seen anything good and that worries me. Especially in the Cabbie section. I hope I'm not scaring anyone off, and if I am, please don't be afraid to come take a run at my stuff, I have no problem with a good challenge. And by a run, I mean if you have a idea and don't think it will hold up next to me, out it up anyway. That's what I did with this. Honestly, I didn't exactly know where Stuck was going at first. But I got like 8 reviews on the first chapter and over time it grew into what Stuck became, then Seniority, and now Salvation. As always, long live #ArianaArmy and us getting 'Ariana is Perfect' trending. You just felt her happiness and how grateful she was thru her tweets. Great girl, I love her. Thanks for reading and reviewing :) And one more thing, I keep getting asked for the Twitter. It's JFeldmann93. Love you guys. –James)
