"Arg! He is so stupid!" Carly Shay said angrily as her best friend sat on the bed and watched as the brunette paced back and forth, "He said.." She paused for a moment to sort her thoughts, "That I only had standards when it came to him and.. I didn't want him but didn't want anyone else to have him."

Sam, being the person she is, grit her teeth and stood up "Let me at him." she growled, "No one talks to my best friend like that."

Carly shook her head, "No.. no, part of the reason I'm in this situation is I let you do whatever you want."

The blonde glanced at her, "You don't want me to hit him?"

"No."

"Fine..." She grumbled and sat down, "So um, what did you say in response?"

"I told him... I told him that I wanted a guy that wouldn't do whatever I say when I used the phrase 'Please, for me' and he needed a spine..."

Sam snorted, "Well he does need a spine.."

"That's not me though... What was I thinking?"

Her best friend sighed, "Listen cupcake, it sounds like you were angry- and you had a right to be, Freddie shouldn't have said those things, but both of you just need some time apart and cool off- deal?"

"Deal.." The brunette said with a sigh, "Now I gotta try to get this homework done so- out."

"Out?"

"Out!" Carly said and grinned, "Thanks Sam.."

"You're welcome cupcake, I'm gonna go down stairs and bug Spencer for awhile, Okay?"

Carly nodded and, once her friend was gone, pulled out her laptop and started typing up a screen play that was due next week.


"We've argued like that before but, never that bad." Freddie Benson told his girlfriend. The two were relaxing at her house that evening after he'd fought with Carly at school, "I mean.. The things we both said.."

"Maybe they needed to come out?" Tori suggested, "From what you've told me you had a lot pent up from you that needed to get out in the air." "

Freddie had spent the last hour telling his girlfriend about their fight after the two had gotten home from school. "I guess, I mean... It was like someone else was talking for me and I had to sit there and watch as it destroyed my friendship with her."

"Just let her cool off, if she's smart she'll give you time- and when you two are ready to make up you will."

"You think so?"

The brunette paused to look at her boyfriend, "Absolutely.."

He sighed and sat down, he had been pacing while they talked, and wrapped an arm around her, "I'm sorry... I know you probably don't wanna hear these things" he said, "But she's.. she's my best friend, was my best friend I guess... and I needed to get it off my chest."

"What're girlfriends for?" She teased and kissed his cheek.

"Right.." He muttered, still in disbelief that anyone as beautiful as Tori would even like him- let alone be his girlfriend, "How quick do you think the rumors about us will spread?" He asked.

"Well, you've been at Hollywood Arts longer than I have" His girlfriend teased, "Why don't you tell me?"

"Well, everyone's gonna know." He groaned, "The stares.."

"You didn't want people do know?" Tori asked, playfully glaring at him.

"Nah, I don't care that they know... I just don't like people staring at me."

"You ran a web show and are almost a celebrity" she pointed out dryly, "Plus you're going to Hollywood Arts."

"Yeah but I'm a sound effects guy, I don't really act or anything, I'm behind the camera."

Tori shook her head, "Then ignore them, just focus on me."

He looked at her and smiled, "On you huh?" He asked.

"Yeah, you think you can do that Benson?" She asked, leaning towards him a little.

"I think so.." He muttered as she leaned forward. Before he could do anything, however, his phone rang and she jumped back and cleared her throat, "One sec" he muttered as he pulled his phone out and put it up to his ear.

Three minutes later he groaned and hung up, "That was my Mother, early dinner." he explained, "You can come if you want but, you probably shouldn't... She's insane."

The brunette laughed, "I'll stay here thanks" she said, "Meet you at school tomorrow?"

"You got it." He said with a smile as she got up and walked him to the door. "I'll uhm, text you tonight?"

"I look forward to it." Tori said, returning his smile as her boyfriend opened the door and slipped out,

the brunette teenager closed the door behind him and let her smile melt into a frown before going back to watching TV.


Sam looked up from the TV show she'd been watching with Spencer and groaned, "I'm hungry- is there any bacon in the fridge?"

"No, you ate it all yesterday." Spencer replied.

"Ham?"

"No."

The blonde sighed, "Got any money?"

He reached into his pocket and handed her a twenty, "Be careful."

"I always am." She replied as she got up and headed out of the apartment. On her way down she ran into Freddie, literally. "Watch it Benson!" She said as she rubbed her head gently.

"Sorry.." He muttered, Of all the people I had to run into, it had to be Sam Puckett. He thought, cursing his luck. "I was distracted.

All thoughts of them bumping into each other were erased from the blonde's mind as she remembered her earlier conversation with Carly. "I heard about your fight."

"I don't wanna talk about it." He told her.

"Yeah? Well too bad, cause I want to."

He groaned, "What? You're her loyal lapdog now?" He asked, "Back off Sam, it doesn't concern you."

"It does concern me." She told him, "Because Carly's my best friend and you hurt her."

Freddie moved to brush past her and she grabbed the back of his shirt, "You're going to apologize to her Benson!"

"I'll apologize when she does" He growled and tugged his shirt out of her grip, "Now both of you leave me alone, I'm done with YOU." He paused for a moment, obviously struggling with what he was about to say, "and I'm done with her."

"You don't mean that-"

"Yes! I do.. Both of you are just... All you care about is yourselves, I need.. I need a break away from you. I've found friends who actually care about me, who want me to be happy. So for now, I'm done with both of you."

"Fine!" Sam replied angerily, "We don't need you anyway, you're lucky I'm hungry Benson or I'd flatten you"

"Good. I hope you can restart iCarly without me, hasn't worked so well in the past has it?" He taunted, ignoring her threat.

With an angry growl she turned around and stomped out of the building muttering about useless nubs while Freddie grinned to himself and headed upstairs to his apartment.

Spencer turned off the TV and sighed, Sam's comment about food had reminded him he should start dinner. "Carly!" He called from the base of the stairs, "What do you want for dinner?" When she didn't reply he headed upstairs and knocked on her door, "Carly?" he asked.

"Leave me alone." The brunette muttered.

"What do you want for dinner?"

"Nothing."

"Open the door kiddo."

"I don't want to." His little sister replied.

Spencer paused for a moment, trying to come up with a good reply, "Well do it anyway."

The brunette web star groaned, "Fine." she mumbled and footsteps could be heard as she walked over to the door and unlocked it. "What?" She asked quietly. Her eyes were red and puffy, it was obvious she'd been crying.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't wanna talk about it."

"When did you get so stubborn?" Spencer joked.

"When I became a teenager" Carly replied, though she was smiling a little now, "Seriously I'm fine, just.. fix whatever for dinner- I'm not that hungry."

"Okay.. Well, I'll either come up or have Sam come get you- she ran to the store for bacon and probably ham."

"Okay... I'll be up here, I'm working on some homework."

The siblings nodded at each other before Spencer headed downstairs and Carly went back to her homework.


The next morning at Hollywood Arts Tori was waiting by her locker for Freddie when Jade walked up, "Um, Hi Jade." she said, "Can I help you?"

"No, I just want to stand here." Jade said dryly.

The brunette rolled her eyes at the goth teen and turned to open her locker, "I'm waiting for Freddie, so what do you want Jade?"

"What do you want Jade?" She mocked.

"I don't talk like that!" Tori exclaimed as Freddie came up behind Jade.

"What's going on?" Freddie asked curiously.

"She's mocking me!"

"She's mocking me."

"I don't talk like that!"

"Jade... Why are you mocking Tori?" He asked, struggling to keep the amusement out of voice.

"Cause it's fun?" Jade answered with a shrug, as if it should be obvious, "Anyway- I gotta go meet Beck before class." She said as she walked off.

"So have you picked an instrument to play?" Freddie asked curiously.

"What do you mean? I'm a singer... My voice is my instrument."

"Everyone plays at least one instrument." Andre, who had just walked up beside Freddie, explained, "I'm teaching Freddie here how to play guitar, he's a natural."

"Well.." Tori said, shifting uncomfortably and looking around, and noticing a student playing a French horn, "What about that? A French Horn right? I like French things."

The two teen boys glanced at each other before Andre shrugged, "I'll be right back."

Freddie and Tori glanced at each other and shrugged, "So anyway, excited for class?" She asked her boyfriend.

"Yeah, I've got a sound mixing class today, the technology will be really interesting to play around with."

"Nerd." Tori teased.

"I am a geek, and I am proud of it." Freddie replied with an amused smile.

Just then Andre came back with a French horn, "Got it out of the music room." He explained as he handed the instrument to her, "Let's see what you got."

The brunette nodded nervously and put her lips against the instrument's mouthpiece and attempted to play a note.

The two boys winced, "Stop.." Andre said quickly, "Please."

"I think it's broken." She said in disgust.

Andre laughed and took the instrument from her, "Here let me try" he said before quickly playing a few notes, "Sounds fine to me."

"Sounds fine to me." Tori mocked and groaned, "I'm gonna be late for my Theater class, I'll see you two later." She kissed her boyfriend's cheek before heading off to class.


As she entered the classroom she noticed someone seemingly beating up another student. She didn't recognize the bully- but she did recognize Beck Oliver as the one being beaten up. "Hey! Leave him alone!" She said as she rushed over to help her friend, standing in front of Beck.

The 'bully' turned around in confusion blinked, "What?"

Beck tried to explain the situation "Relax, he's a stunt actor, he's a teacher's assistant- we're rehearsing fake fighting."

"Fake fighting?" The brunette singer asked in confusion, turning to face Beck

"Yeah, for stage performances and movies- it's how fight scenes are done.."

"Oh..."

"What's going on here?" Came the demanding voice of Jade as she walked into the room.

"It was just a simple mix up." The young actor tried to explain but his girlfriend ignored him.

"What're you doing here?" She asked Tori.

"I'm here for my theater recital class." Tori said...

Before Jade could reply the Teacher walked in, "Alright, This week we're going to be doing stage fighting, as some might have noticed as Beck and Russ were practicing. I'm going to team you up in pairs and at the end of the week you'll do a stage fighting scene, just remember- no actual hitting."

He then began to announce teams, Beck was with Robbie, Cat was with a student named Andrea, "And finally, Tori Vega and Jade West."

The two girls looked at each other and Jade smirked while Tori frowned nervously, This is gonna end well She thought nervously, dreading the end of the week.
