Chapter 19
Sam POV
"Can we just go down to the beach?" I asked glaring at Felicity across the beach.
"Yeah come on." Ellie said tugging on my arm pulling me down to the beach. We took off our shoes and left them at the bottom of the wooden ramp and started to walk along the shore line. Carly and Freddie were on either sides of me while Ellie and Gibby were strolling behind us talking.
"It looks like Gibby and Ellie hit it off." Carly said. I glanced over my shoulder and nodded. We walked in silence for a few moments before we heard a group of guys shouting from out in the water.
"That was sick D!"
"Dude you owned it!" We all turned our heads and saw a group of guys watching a curly blonde hair boy doing perfect moves in the water while surfing. We stopped and watched him and when he finished, the group of boy came paddling in. As they were walking past us the boy with curly blonde hair stopped and said,
"You guys are from iCarly right?" His voice was deep yet soft.
"Yeah I'm Carly, this is Freddie, Sam, Gibby, and Ellie." Carly pointing at each of us.
"I'm Dylan, I'm a huge fan of iCarly…" Dylan started to say before one of his friends cut him off.
"Come on dude, get away from these losers… especially the one armed freak." The guy with black hair and dark skin said.
"Woah, woah wait…" Freddie started to defend me but before he could say anything more Dylan said,
"Guys go up without me. I'll catch up with you later." He said glaring at the other boys. He turned back to us and said, "I'm so sorry, they can be…"
"Skunkbags?" "I said not letting him finish.
"Yeah pretty much…" He said looking down.
"Don't worry about it, I have gotten so much crap…" I said looking at him.
"No you don't deserve that." Dylan said sternly. "Look I just really don't want to hang out with my friends right now… can I hang out with you?" We all looked at each other before Freddie said,
"Join the party!" We all smiled and we started to walk down the beach.
"So Dylan I'm guessing you're a surfer." Carly said smiling.
"Yeah I am." He said carrying his board. When he said this he tripped over the end of his board and stumbled. "Sorry I'm a little clumsy."
"How do you surf if you fall over all the time?" I asked him. Freddie rolled his eyes knowing it was a mean question. He smiled and said,
"How do you surf with only one arm?" I stared at him for a minute before saying,
"Touché." He smirked and so did I before Carly spoke.
"Wait, where did Gibby and Ellie go?" She asked turning around and looking for the pair. I shrugged my shoulders. "Well why don't Dylan and I go find them and put his board down somewhere while you guys…umm don't kill each other... come on Dylan." Carly said tugging on his arm and they walked away leaving only Freddie and I on the beach. There was an awkward silence before Freddie spoke.
"The Dr. Oz showed called today and wanted to ask you something…" He said looking worried.
"If it's an interview the answer is no Benson."
"It's not an interview…" I looked at him with curiosity before he said, "He wants to build you a prosthetic arm." I looked at him for a minute before anything happened.
"You mean a fake arm?" He nodded and I processed what he just said.
"Well what did you tell them?" He looked out at the beach and then back to me and said,
"I told yes that you wanted it." I shot him a glare and said,
"Why would you tell them that?" He hesitated for a second then said,
"Because you said you wanted to look normal."
"I never said that…" I said in a hushed tone. He couldn't have heard Alice and I…it was too early…
"You said you wanted to look normal. Remember Alice?"
"So now you're spying on me?" I said to him in an intense tone.
"Am I wrong about what you said?" I went to say something but I was at a loss of words. "You said you wanted to look normal and now's your chance." I looked into his eyes and realized something prior to saying,
"Being normal is overrated. Call them back and say I don't want a stupid arm." I marched from where I was standing back to the truck and waited for someone, anyone but Freddie.
The next few days were awkward between Freddie and I. Dylan, Ellie, and Alice had come over every day and everyday Ellie and Dylan helped my train for the competition. Training was hard but it was worth it. I was going to show Felicity what I'm made of. Three days after Freddie and I had our conversation I walked into the living room to find Ellie leaving our house and giving Gibby a kiss on the cheek. He turned around and saw me and screamed.
"Wow… that chick must really have problems." Gibby rolled his eyes and said,
"Well if she has problems why would she be dating Gibbay?"
"For one, she didn't tell you your shorts are on backwards." I smiled and he looked down.
"Ah mushrooms!" He said getting up and leaving the room. Carly walked in and sat down next to me.
"What did you do to Gibby?"
"Nothing more than usual." Carly rolled her eyes and said,
"What's going on?"
"Nothing just sitting on a couch…"
"I mean between you and Freddie." I looked at her for a loss of words.
"What do you mean between me and Freddie?" She stood up and started pacing around.
"Ever since that day on the beach you have been acting weird. Every time Freddie comes into the room or even into the conversation you leave or change the subject to Fat Cakes."
"Because Fat Cakes are good…" I said looking down.
"Sam what is going on? Are you keeping something from me? Is this like the time you two kissed and never told me? I'm your friend and you shouldn't keep things from me." Carly said rambling on.
"Carly…Carls… Carly!" I shouted to make her shut up.
"What?" She said back to me. I was about to say something, tell her what I realized but I couldn't tell her. I couldn't tell anyone.
"That day on the beach…Freddie told me that some show wanted to give me a fake arm and Freddie and I got into a fight. A real fight." I said lying to her. She looked at me trying to tell if I was lying but since I'm good at lying she believed me.
"Okay well you two need to makeup like now." She said storming out of the room. As soon as she left I thought to myself God, I have to get over this realization.
So how was that? There's the other new character! That's 4 in all! I forget the screen names of the people who gave them to me but I will look them up and mention them in the next chapter. Hope you all enjoyed this little Seddie fight.
Biggest question of all: What was Sam's realization?
Other questions: Does Gibby like Ellie? Is Dylan really nice or just faking it? Will Sam and Freddie makeup?
Let me know your thoughts! Love you!
