iGet into the Holiday Spirit

disclaimer: I don't own iCarly.

Hey guys! Thanks for the reviews so much! I'm so sorry for not updating for a while. I've been really busy, so I hope I can make it up to you! I'll try to finish part 2 of this story ASAP!

I'm kinda making time go by faster because I can't have this week of Holiday break last forever. (For those of you who didn't know, the story started 1 week into winter break, and this part (part 2: iHate this Holiday) lasts less than a week. As for who Carly should date from my mini poll at the end of last chapter, basically none of you answered, so I'll just make something up ;P

Part 2: iHate this Holiday continued

Scene 3

Carly's POV

I went to the Groovy Smoothie today alone. Spencer's busy with his sculptures, and I'm really not in the mood for someone like Wendy who keeps gossiping.

When I walked in, I saw a really cute guy. I couldn't contain myself.

I walked over there. "Hey, I'm Carly. Who are you?" I asked sweetly.

"Hey, I'm James," he answered, "Are you from around here?"

"Yeah, I live just around the corner," I said, "Where are you from? How come I haven't seen you anywhere before?" He's so cute. If he was from around here, I'm sure I would have noticed and remembered him.

"I'm from LA, and I recently transferred over here because my parents got transferred here for their jobs. Are you going to Ridgeway High?"

"Yeah!" I said, then realizing that I was acting too excited and maybe desperate. "Yeah," I said in a normal voice, "Are you going there too?"

"Yeah," he said, "I live over there in the apartment Bushwell Plaza, do you live nearby?"

"Yeah, I live in Bushwell Plaza too! In room 8A."

"Cool, I live in 3C," he said, "Would you like to go out sometime?"

My heart skipped a beat. It took all the control I had to stop myself from screaming yes. "Sure," I responded, "I'd love to."

"Is tonight okay?"

"Sure!"

"I'll meet you down in the lobby at 7?"

"Sounds great," I said.

"I don't know any places around here so maybe you can show me around?"

"I'll be glad to," I said, smiling.

"Okay, see you later," he said, leaving.

Oh. My. Gosh. I just got a date with a really cute guy! I need to pick out a nice outfit for tonight's date.

Sam's POV

I was miserable after I dumped Freddie. I gave up my relationship with him just like that. But I have more dignity than to call him begging him to take me back after I did that. I sat around most of the day doing nothing. Not even eating ham could cheer me up. I just sat and stared at my phone, counting how many times Freddie tried to call or text me. After a while he stopped trying, and a part of me sank.

I lay on my bed staring at the iCarly website on my laptop, re-watching past webcasts. How come I insulted Freddie so much? What did he ever do to deserve that? Nothing. He just thought he loved Carly. So I had to pretend I hated him. But I loved him. I still do. And I probably always will.

Carly's POV

It's 6:46pm. I had picked about ten different outfits and changed between them. I'm still torn between the purple blouse, white skirt outfit and the magenta top, denim shorts, and black leggings outfit.

I already did my makeup, so it's just the outfits. Sigh, which should I wear? Oh maybe I can call Sam and ask her for her opinion! And also ask about her and Freddie.

Sam picked up after five rings.

"Hello Carly?"

"SAM! How's it going! I miss you!"

"It's going all right, whatsup?"

"I have a date tonight at 7! Help me pick out an outfit?"

"Sure." Sam sounded upset for some reason.

"What's the matter, Sam?"

"It's nothing, Carly. So your outfits?" She still didn't sound fine, but I have a date in a few minutes so I'll deal with it later.

"Oh yeah, so I'm trying to decide between..."

Freddie's POV

Sam and I broke up after we finally got together. I can't believe what life is like without her. Her teasing and smirking has become my life. I had no idea how much she made my day before now. I don't know how much longer I can stand to be without her. I already tried to apologize. I called and texted and emailed and called and she didn't pick up. She must be really mad at me. I loathe myself. What's wrong with me? I never had a real girlfriend before, nor have I ever loved someone who really loved me back before Sam. Yet just like that, I screwed it up. I miss her so so much.

I banged my head against my desk. Apparently a little too loudly.

"FREDWARD BENSON! WHAT WAS THAT?" my mom demanded.

"Nothing."

"DID YOU BANG YOUR HEAD AGAINST THE TABLE?"

"No mom, I-"

"FREDDIE! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU! Don't bang your head, or your brain will be dead!"

"MOM!" I could swear she has a million dumb rhymes for every situation.

"Don't hurt yourself! You know how much trouble I go through making sure you don't get hurt."

"Yes I know but-"

"WELL DON'T HURT YOURSELF!"

"Okay mom." I rolled my eyes and stared off into space, continuing to hate myself for making Sam break up with me.

I hate this holiday.

Carly's POV

I love this holiday!

My date with James was so awesome! I took him to the Cheesecake Warehouse, and we chatted about everything! Turns out he used to go to this boarding school in LA, and he had a girlfriend before, but it didn't work out. I told him I had boyfriends before too, and it didn't work out. After our first date, I just KNOW that this is going to work out. I'm not only attracted to his cuteness, but I also love his personality, and talking to him is just so pleasant. I was so sad when our date ended, but that's okay! He asked me out again for day after tomorrow, and so I invited him over to our place. I can't wait!

Kay guys, how was that? Sorry to keep you guys hanging on the Seddie relationship. Btw, Carly's date, James, is a reference to the Zoey 101 character played by Austin Butler. Sorry that there wasn't more Seddie action here and that it was mainly Carly. Let me know what you think in a review! Please and thanks!

Don't worry, next chapter will hopefully be up soon! I have it mostly written. Please review!
