Nick
…..
Have you ever smelled victory? Like what it truly smells like. Well I will let you know what it smells like.
" A bubble bath." I say to myself. I sink more into the bathtub, the water touching my shoulders. I've been needing this for quite some time. I blow the bubbles from my face and smile, in victory. I dunk my head into the water, opening my eyes to see the water above my face. I start to hear banging on the door. I bring my head out of the water and gasp. The banging continues.
" I need to pee Webster!" Carly yells through the door. Oh sweet innocent Carly, your not gonna get in here without seeing my dick.
" No way Shay." I yell back.
" What part of having to pee do you not understand?!"
" How you pee."
" Nick!"
" Just use the bathroom downstairs."
" Spencer is showering."
" Why not the Benson's?"
" Who does that?"
" Me." I reply. I hear her grunt, followed by her footsteps walking away. I'm starting to believe she didn't have to pee. I shampoo my hair and sing along to the mash-up song in my head. After rinsing and finishing my bath, I wrap the towel around my waist. I unplug the bath. I open the door. Carly is standing by her bedroom door talking to Sam. I wink to the both of them.
" My towel." She exclaims.
" You want it?" I ask back. I put my hand on the tie. Carly puts her hand up, motioning to stop the strip tease.
" Keep it." She says in disappointment. I take my ten steps to my bedroom and close the door behind me.
" Sweet victory." I say to myself.
Sam
…
I raise my one eyebrow to Carly. She doesn't notice me as she stares at Nick's, literally, bedroom door. I'm gonna miss that guest room. It's such a comfy bed.
" I hate him." She says.
" Of course you do." I say. She walks into the bathroom, shutting the door behind her. I take my steps towards the stairs, making my way to find Willa on the couch, texting away probably. I come up and sit next to her.
" I have a feeling you shouldn't be here." I say to her. Her eyes shot up to me and then back to her phone. She types away.
" I don't want this to ruin us but I am only here because Alice needed me. Not to mention, I didn't say anything that night in Nick's room."
" You only asked back. I know." She looks up to me again and puts the phone down.
" Look, I want to be friends with you and all but I know there is competition between us so listen to me when I say, I don't give a fuck."
" Excuse me?"
" Look, you guys are a web-show gold. interNick, not so much going on. Nick really wants to make the show good." We sit in silence for a moment. We don't look at each other, only the floor.
" Why did you guys start the show?" I ask. Willa looks at me in the face.
" Because of you guys." She replies. I chuckle.
" It only took one web-show to know what we will be doing on a thursday night." She says with a smile. I smile back.
" You know I'm going to pretend I am going to hate you for the sake of Carly."
" Oh yeah I completely understand." We turn away from each other and start playing the enemies role.

A couple hours later I find myself sitting in the nerd boy's couch. Carly and Nick decided who will be the top sibling of the week. So basically, a lot of cleaning. It's a competition for attention going on in the Shay household. That's all I can say without barfing my lunch. Freddie sits besides me with his laptop on his lap. Well, laptop. Just made a pun for you folks. The Benson just typing away like he is all that. Truly remarkable.
" Can you stop nerding out on your laptop for five seconds." I say, with the sound of his fingers hitting the keys annoying me.
" I am only revising an software update for iCarly so zip it!"
" You never tell mama puckett to 'zip it'." Turning my head to him, bringing our faces an inch closer.
" Well, I-just-did." Bringing our faces one step more closer. I take a moment to look down at his lips as his eyes do the same.
" I bought salmon for dinner!" Mrs. Benson exclaims as she walks through the door. Freddie and I get out of the lean of death and sit far away from another. I look over to him and he continues to type away.
Alice
…
Spencer and I walk back to the apartment, groceries in hand. We walk through the entrance with Lewbert yelling at us to stop our loving ways. I will never understand that guy. He's so weird. Spencer and I walk through the elevator and make our way to the eighth floor. I walk on to the wooden floor and Spencer opens the front door. We both walk in to see Carly and Nick in a scramble. Nick's feet are in Carly's face as he wrapped his arms around her legs. It's basically a two part plank position if you ask me.
" Smell it Shay! Smell it!" He yells.
" They smell like soiled eggs, with rotten fish." She says with a continuous gagging. It's then Spencer pulls Nick off of Carly. I drop the bags and help her up. It's then I realize the house smells like cleaning liquid.
" Did someone clean this apartment?" I exclaim. The two look up at me.
" Maybe…" They say in unison. I put my hand up for a high five, they both high five me. Spencer looks at the two in disappointment.
" What is wrong?" I ask back.
" Maybe the fact is that when I drink milk in the shower all I will smell is rubbing alcohol!" Spencer replies.
" You drink milk in the shower?" I ask back.
" You didn't know that?" Carly asks back. I just get a blank state on my face. That is disgusting. Who does that?!
" I'm going to make dinner." I say very blankly. I turn to the kitchen and move my hands to start cooking but then I remember that I left the bags in the living room. Nick and Carly walk them over along with Spencer. Spencer gives me a hug around the waist.
" I'm not that weird." He says into my ear.
" You are." Sam and Nick say in unison, as they sit at the table.
" Shut up you ninnies!" He yells. He's such a man-child. But I love him.
I want to excuse myself in advance. I have not been feeling well. I just turned 19 on Sunday and once again I reflected on my life, causing some things to be reflected. My hope is to get the new chapter up on the actual Valentine's Day. So, wish me luck! R&R
