Chapter 2
As the week progressed Carly and Freddie avoided each other whenever possible and sat far away from each other as possible in the classes they shared. Freddie had decided to not even try to talk to her because he figured that it was no use right now and even if it was difficult to accept for him right now: He had screwed things up between them…big time.
*Dang it! How can I fix things between me and Carly, apart from all that happened I'm still in love with her and I don't know how much longer I can't stand the fact her not talking with me.* Sam had been very nice to him since this whole incident between him and Carly had happened, of course she tried her very best to be neutral even if she had been really angry at Freddie at first. Freddie meanwhile had just sat on his bed and silently listened to her lecture and really hoped that it would be over soon. "Hey you look awful." Sam said as she and the former Tech Producer of ICarly entered their first class for today, Freddie said nothing in response he just sighed because she had been stating the obvious, that he hadn't heard the first time today. Meanwhile Carly pretended that everything was fine as always, even if she was conflicted deep down about had happened between her and Freddie: How could this have happened? Did that mean that Freddie was still in love with me, even if I said that we're nothing more than friends? * She tried to push these distracting thoughts from her mind, so she could pay full attention to her first class of the day but deep down that one feeling remained inside of her: Disappointment towards her now former best Friend.
In the first break of the day, Wendy one other good friend of Carly arrived at the Cafeteria of the School and took a free chair at her table. Of course Wendy had noticed that Carly had been a little bit off in the first two classes and she was pretty determined to find out what bothered her good friend so much right now. The brunette didn't look up from her meal at first, because she was so lost in her own thoughts that she didn't notice Wendy sitting down at the table. "Hey how are doing today Carls?" Wendy finally asked to finally get the attention of the ICarly host and was very determined that she wouldn't let herself be fooled anymore by her friend. The brunette ICarly host knew that she always had been an open book to Wendy since the two had known each other and that way it would be difficult to have any secrets in her presence. But in the end Carly couldn't tell Wendy about what had happened between her and Freddie, because to be honest it was just too painful to even think about the whole thing. She finally spoke up with the best faked smile she could do right now: "Don't you worry about me, I'm doing absolutely great right now I just didn't sleep that well last night because of a nightmare I had." Wendy didn't really know if she should believe the brunette because from her perspective it really looked like, something big was bothering her very much but she didn't want to admit that yet.
*Should I maybe push a little harder?* Wendy thought for a bit but she quickly dismissed that thought, because it maybe was the better decision to believe Carly for right now and give her the opportunity to talk when she was ready for it. She shortly sipped on her drink, took a bite from her sandwich and finally replied: "Okay good to know."
"I probably go to bed earlier than usual, because I feel so tired right now." Carly replied and forced herself to another little smile. The next minutes where filled mostly with silence, because neither Carly nor Wendy knew something to say right now and Wendy didn't want to risk saying something that might anger the brunette. Meanwhile Freddie did his very best in his break time to get the whole dispute with Carly out of his mind but deep down that one question kept surfacing in his mind: How was he supposed to fix all this? That was the one thing that really frustrated him right now, because he was so far from an answer to this question.
Of course his friends of the Computer Club at Ridgeway High School were pretty shocked as they had finally got him to admit, what he did and that the brunette I Carly Host had kicked him out of the web show and ended their friendship in the process. They all felt very sorry for him, but as all the sympathy from his buddies totally got on his nerves, he said that he didn't want their pity and he needed to move on. Freddie knew deep down that it would be no use in trying to talk to Carly, because what he did wasn't excuse able, could certainly not be fixed by a simple apology and he totally accepted that.
Because he didn't want Sam to be forced to choose any side in this conflict, he even avoided her for the entire week because he thought that it was surely the best thing to do in this kind of situation. Sam tried to talk about Freddie with her brunette friend but every time she did, Carly said: "I don't have to justify what I did! It was his fault that it came that far in the first place and he didn't even feel the need to apologize to me." Even if Freddie not present, Carly and Sam planned for the next I Carly web show and the brunette said that their former tech producer and neighbor could easily be replaced by another geek. To get Carly of his mind once and for and for all, Freddie meanwhile met with another girl from Ridgeway High School: Jennifer at the Groovy Smoothie and even if that had been the favorite place where he would always hang out with Carly.
