"Hi Freddie. How have you been?" She spoke sweetly, flipping her red hair.
(Freddie's POV)
I was jerked out of my thoughts as I stood up from my lockers to face her. She was wearing a printed dress with a brown leather jacket and heels, her auburn highlighted curls cascaded down to her shoulders as she had a smile plastered on her face.
"Missy? Is that you?" I asked bewilderedly. I hadn't seen her for almost 3 years since that whole incident of sabotaging Sam on occasions that involved rotten Persian chocolates and piñata factory mishap. Sam was incredibly upset and back then, she came to me for help. So I did what I did, I gave her the school-at-sea thing.
"Wow Freddie! It's been so long! Like almost 3 years since we've met!" Her voice rose with excitement as she nodded her head. I was still in shock, it isn't easy to have your girlfriend's 'enemy' come back after years and ask about you out of the blue.
"Missy! Hello, it's good to see you too." I played it cool, although my heart was still rather weirded out. "What are you doing here?" I asked casually, leaning against the blue metal lockers. The hallways were empty as many went to class. But for me, I had a free extra period because Miss Thomas fell sick after being a victim to Sam's recent prank.
"Well, after that whole 6 month cruise thing I won, which was terrible to be honest; my Dad got stationed in Alaska for 2 years for some military project. Which afterwards, my Dad decided to retire and now we're back in Seattle!" Missy spoke in her rather shrill girly voice, sort of like Carly.
"Ah, so you're back here to start Ridgeway again?" I asked inquisitively, thinking of all the possible things Sam might react to Missy Robinsons back in school.
"Yep! I have loads of things to catch up with around here. Would you help me out?" She gave me a sweet smile; her green eyes lighten with excitement as she faced me.
I didn't want to give her my answer yet. Two reasons. One: I'll get chewed up and possibly abused for showing Missy back to Ridgeway so long as Sam's here after her incident. Two: I'll get Carly's 'i-can't-believe-she's-back' speech and try a bunch of ways telling me I shouldn't trust her so easily. Therefore, after contemplating in my head, I looked up and spoke.
"Sometime Missy, I gotta go now so I'll see you around?"
"Oh, sure. Thanks Freddie!" She gave me a light friendly hug before pulling her sparkly organiser out, walking towards the cafeteria.
For the next few days, I managed to do much during the week before we'd all go into the exam phase next month. I had successfully created some new digital tech for iCarly, helping them do a warp style 3D effect; managed to spend some alone time with Sam, taking her out to the Cheesecake warehouse down the street, where we ate our enormous servings they call salads and some movies back in her apartment when her mom was out.
After some pretty intense make out sessions on her couch, we laid down and just listened to her pearphone docked into her player. If not to ruin the whole 'romantic' peaceful moment we had, Sam received a call and after hanging up the phone, she wailed and threw a fist fight.
"Come on! It can't be that bad. It's only 3 days!" I persuaded her, insisting she sit down rather than pacing about her living room.
"I don't want to! Melanie's got her prissy bunch of friends with her already! Why do I have to be there?" Sam crossed her arms over her chest, throwing her head on my lap on the sofa.
"Cause you're her sister. Nothing means more to her as she graduates to see her wonderful mom and sister by her." I told her casually.
Sam had to visit Melanie in her fancy boarding school for her graduation ceremony next week and she was frustrated because we had to then cancel our weekly theatre movie screening where we would watch any random film and occasionally making fun of it if it was bad. I had promised her a big bucket of popcorn and candy bars next week and well, now she got even more annoyed at her food opportunity replaced by a 6 hour flight to the UK.
"So that doesn't mean I've got to be there." She mumbled, as her face was covered by her blonde curls.
"Ok, think of it this way. Since you and Melanie look alike, why don't you try fooling her fancy boarding school friends? Don't think your sister had ever mentioned her having a twin sister did she?" I asked her, mindlessly playing with her curls.
"I guess not. It would be nice to play a prank on an English schoolgirl. That'll bring my record to a new level." I could feel that she was beginning to plan her little surprises for Melanie's roommate soon enough.
"Thanks Dork." She faced me, smiling with her cerulean blue eyes of hers.
So it's now Monday and a new week has begun. Sam left Seattle during the weekend and its now 15 minutes into school time. Oh how I miss her constant whining about school already. I walked towards my first period class- science and sat down at an empty lab chair.
Turning my head, a streak of auburn hair caught my eye as I saw Missy talk to Mr Jones before he pointed at the empty space next to me. She nodded casually and down.
Across the first six periods of school before lunch, I had realised that Missy took the exact same subjects as me, including advanced calculus. I guess she was a pretty bright student, taking down notes eagerly and even scored full marks on our chemistry pop quiz just now. I was impressed. Carly never told me how academically inclined she was. Then again, Carly and Sam both vowed not to speak of her.
I caught up with Carly, James, Wendy and Gibby for lunch and throughout the time, I really missed having Sam. Yeah I sound cheesy but it's not wrong for me to miss her this much. Her departure was really uncalled for. We discussed many odd things which included Gibby's card tricks blog, whom he complained no one knows about and the very least identifying the mystery meat of the day.
After school, I caught up with the Missy and decided to head to the Seattle community library to do some research on our debate topic for English class. Buying some freshly brewed Skybucks coffee across the Groovy smoothie, we entered the tranquil atmosphere, finding a cozy spot to complete our task. Evidently, we were rather productive in achieving our goals of completion, but soon got rather side-tracked by digressing. We ended up talking about Mr Jones incredibly 'glossy' bald head, iCarly and even Missy's personal military experience.
"So you guys still do iCarly now? After all these years?" Missy asked inquisitively as she grabbed her textbook out of her floral tote bag.
"Yeah, sure do. It's getting really popular and we've got so many awesome fans. So much things to do that we've even hired an intern." I spoke casually, fishing out my phone to text Sam subconsciously.
"Oh yeah, I've watched one of your webshows back then! You had- Oh what's his name? Brad. Brad! The guy that did the "Fudge time with Brad" segment!" She answered back excitedly, snapping her fingers in realisation.
"Yeah." I shrugged casually. Brad unfortunately had to move to LA as his parents got a really good job offer as part of this law firm as advocates and solicitors. Boy how I've missed his fudge and our constant "nerdy talk" as Sam would refer to as.
I send Sam a quick text before turning to face Missy again, searching through more books and references.
Hey Princess. Can't wait to see you. Love you loads.
Sam replied almost instantly. Hey Freddork. I'm super bored right now.
Shouldn't you be packing up now? I placed my phone down, writing out some key concepts on my notebook, sipping my chocolate drink.
True chiz. I'm making Melanie pack my stuff. Sucks to be back in hellhole school
I chuckled at her complaints. She really didn't like any lessons with the exception of drama, gym and lunch, where she could put her mind to only.
Alright Sammy. Go make fun of some of Melanie's friends or something. I've got work now.
You're so lame Fredward. I'm so fatcake deprived. Bring me some when I'm back!
Sure thing! You'd be greeted with them soon enough.
Thanks baby! Gtg, my mom is yelling me to buy her some food.
Today was finally the day Sam got back. I honestly didn't think it was fair to make her come to school a mere 10 hours after her landing back in Seattle. She could have just stayed in and slept, but Pam had wanted the house to herself for reasons. I shan't dawn on that fact no more, and rather focus on seeing my favourite blonde headed demon again. On the way to Ridgeway, I stopped by the convenience mart to get Sam's beloved non-low fat fatcakes and entered the bustling hallways.
I cracked open the combination to my locker swiftly and placed the rather heavy fatcakes inside and I felt a tap on my left shoulder. I turned to find Missy facing me, her green eyes glistened with excitement.
"Guess what! Mr Henning gave us an A for our debate assignment!" She cheered in glee, before jumping up and down on the stop. Woah, an A, paid off all that hard work of manually flipping through old tattered books for information.
"That's great!" I gave her a light hug before fishing out my phone to text Sam if she was on her way to school already. My lips do miss hers- I'm just saying.
"I know! Hey I heard from others that the Seattle museum is holding a pop culture art show next week and it's really interesting, as so I've heard." Missy continued.
"I heard about it too. Carly's brother Spencer is trying yet again to sneak one of his artworks in so that he can keep up with his fancy impression on his Granddad." I replied casually, still eagerly waiting for Sam. Maybe she stopped by the Taco shop and bought herself a breakfast burrito?
"Cool. So maybe you'd like to go together someday?" Missy spoke gently. I saw her weight shift from one leg to another, her lip biting in anticipation.
"I'd like that." I replied casually. The hallways were getting empty as everyone got to homeroom for first period.
"Okay! So it's a date then!" She smiled wholeheartedly.
Wait. She said what? Oh.
A certain technical producer forgot to mention he had a girlfriend? Now did he?
