Chapter 4: Nicole's Back and There's Gonna Be Trouble
Author's Notes: I don't own iCarly, Drake and Josh, or Zoey 101. I spell Freddie's name like Freddy. You remember that girl, from seasons 1 and 2 who screamed a lot and was always fighting with Dana and Lola? Nicole. And remember how they said she was diagnosed with 'obsessive male gender disorder' so they put her in an All-Girls school? Well, if you didn't remember or didn't know, they did. And that's where this chapter starts out. Oh, and Sam is working there for a morning and afternoon part time job.
Flashback from iLove/iHate:
"Well some friend she is," said Lola.
"Yeah. We should get a new roommate."
"If only Nichole were back. Then she could take Quinn's place and Quinn could go back to her old room."
"If only," Zoey said.
Nicole sighed and walked into her dorm room. It was another boring day at the All-Girls Academy. Not a single day went by when she didn't think 'when am I gonna get out of this prison?' It wasn't all bad, her roommates were nice, but she missed Zoey and strangely Lola.
I wonder if Lola has moved away by now like Dana moved to Europe or whatever, she thought to herself. She shrugged. Well if she has, good. She laughed nervously, knowing she didn't mean that completely.
Nicole turned on her hairdryer and sighed. "I remember when I turned on my hairdryer in the mornings and Lola would get annoyed. Haha. Or was that Dana?" Nicole shrugged.
"Hey Nicold."
"What is it Lisa?" Nicole asked.
Lisa was the principal of this All-Girls Academy and hated Nicole for some unknown reason.
"Oh I'm not Lisa."
"Then who are you?" Nicole looked at her, wondering, if she wasn't Lisa what did she have against Nicole? Nicole noticed the blond hair and blue, no, green eyes. "You know you look a lot like Sam from iCarly?"
The girl nodded.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!" Nicole screamed with joy. "But what are you doing here? And why'd you call me 'Nicold'?"
"Woah, those girls in the hall were right, you do scream a lot," Sam said, covering her ears. "Anyway, I'm here because my mom thinks I need a part time job. And she said it was either doing the dishes here or boy's bathroom attendant down at PCA."
"Okay," Nicole said, getting a flashback on her first day at PCA.
"This is supposed to be a girl's dorm and that is not for girls," Nicole pointed at the boy's toilet.
"Well this used to be an all boys school," Zoey said.
"Eeww," Nicole said, disgusted.
"Trust me you do not want boy's bathroom attendant," she had on a disgusted face. "Anyway, then why are you up here?"
"Oh, it's my twenty minute break so I thought I'd look around the dorm rooms," Sam said, sitting down on Nicole's bed.
"Okay," Nicole said, sitting next to Sam. "Why'd you call me 'Nicold' though?"
"Oh, I wanted to know the names of all the girls, so I went to the principal's office for a sheet listing all the names," she said, holding out the list. "And the principal must have bad handwriting or something because that 'e' looks so much like a 'd'."
"No, she hates me, but I don't know why," Nicole said, confused. "Which reminds me, why do you hate Freddie?"
Sam exploded with laughter. "Oh you were serious?"
"Yes," Nicole replied. "I am serious. I mean, you insult him all the time, but what did he ever do to you?"
Sam thought back to three years ago, one year after meeting Carly.
"Freddie I love y-"
Carly stepped in between them. "Hey Sam, who's your friend?"
Freddie had a look on his face that said 'love at first sight'. "I love you."
Sam cried because she knew he was talking to Carly instead of her.
"Now what were you gonna tell me?" Freddie asked, turning to Sam.
Sam dumped the remainder of her sundae with whipped cream on his head. "I hate you." She ran away from him with anger and sadness.
But that was over with. They both liked each other now and were perfectly happy together, not letting the past stop them from being together. But she still couldn't let Nicole know that they were together and she didn't hate him anymore.
"Because he's just such a dork," she said, laughing nervously.
"That's it?" Nicole asked, shocked. "That's your only reason?!"
"Well…" she started.
"That's so stupid," Nicole replied unsatisfied. "Do you even know a thing about Freddie at all?! It's horrible to make assumptions about people you barely know anything about and then use that as an excuse to hate them."
"You don't know the half of it Nicole," Sam said angry. "I know way more about Freddie than you realize. You're the only one in this room right now who's making assumptions. I know tons of stuff about Freddie. Freddie and I were once really good friends, but then he met this girl and she ruined everything. She made him think stuff he might not have thought if he never met her, and our friendship was ruined, and you just… you don't understand."
"Well help me understand," Nicole said.
Sam sighed. "I can't Nicole, I can't. Besides, it's the past and that's the way it should stay."
Yes, Sam thought to herself. It's the past and that's where it should stay. Especially now that he and I have gotten over that whole thing and gotten together. Why does she have to make me feel so guilty for stuff that happened years ago and doesn't matter anymore?
"I'm sorry," Nicole said. "I shouldn't have asked. It's none of my business. Besides, you're right, you could know way more about Freddie than I'm giving you credit for."
"It's okay," Sam hugged her. "Besides, it doesn't matter anymore." She looked at the time. "Uh oh, my twenty minute break is over. I gotta go back to doing the dishes."
"Okay, bye Sam. Talk to you later?"
"Yeah, talk to you later. Oh and by the way, you wouldn't happen to know a girl named Quinn would you?"
"Oh, that weird science girl. Yeah. She's kind of cool sometimes."
"Well I met her once and she says Zoey and Lola miss you."
"Oh, okay, thanks. Tell her I miss them too if you see her again."
"I will, don't worry. Bye."
"Bye."
Sam closed the door and went down to do the dishes.
"Wow," she said. "Sweet kid but gives me a real guilty feeling." She shrugged. "Oh well. Shouldn't let it go to my system." She turned to put one of the plates away when Freddie appeared in front of her. She gasped. "Oh my god. Freddie you scared me."
"Sorry," Freddie said. "What do you think of my outfit?"
"Wow," she replied, staring at him for a few seconds with hypnotized look on her face. "You look so awesome. Is that what you're wearing to the dinner tonight?"
"Yeah," Freddie said. "No one from our school is going to this place."
"You're sure?" She asked, kind of concerned.
"Yes, I'm positive," he said. "I asked everybody like three times."
"Didn't they get annoyed answering the same question three times?"
"Some of them. Most of them. One of them got so angry the third time I asked them that they hit me in the face three times with they're purse. It was filled with like broken glass and big rocks or something."
"Oh my god, are you okay?"
"Yeah," he said. "I got a scar right here though." He pointed to the place on his cheek.
"Oh. My. God. How the heck are you going to hide that from your mom?"
"I don't think I'll be able to. It's too big to hide. And I don't even want to think what weird thing she has planned to do."
Sam shivered at all the possibilities. "I don't know if this will make it better but…" She kissed the hurt spot on his cheek, and strangely enough it made it feel a little better.
"It kind of did, do it again."
"I'm not going to do it there again. I'm gonna do it somewhere else." She put her lips against his for a full sixty seconds then smiled and sighed.
Freddie giggled. "Oh, I love it in that place way more."
Sam giggled.
Principal Lisa called down, "Sam! That doesn't sound like dishes to me!"
"So, see you tonight?" Freddie asked, about to leave.
"Sure, but where is it at?" Sam asked, still not quite sure.
Nicole tiptoed down to where Sam and Freddie were. She didn't pay much attention to them since she knew the nearest exit was a few steps ahead. She walked towards the door slowly and opened it so quietly nobody could hear it. "Buh-bye All Girls Academy, hello PCA," she whispered.
"Some place near PCA called 'Sushi Rox," Nicole heard Freddie say inside.
"Cool so it's a date," Sam said. "See you when I get home from work. Bye."
"Bye," Freddie waved and walked out the door.
Nicole turned to face him. "Hey, you're Freddie from iCarly right?"
"Yeah," he said.
Nicole tried hard to stop herself from screaming. "Why does Sam hate you?"
He shrugged. "I don't know, she just does."
She doesn't hate me anymore, he thought to himself. And why does this girl care anyway?
"Did something happen between you two when you were little?"
"No. I mean not as far as I know. Why? Do you know why Sam hates me?" He lied, knowing for a fact why Sam used to hate him and not really wanting to go back to that again.
"Yeah. She said it was because of some girl that ruined your friendship… three years ago?"
Freddie thought back to three years ago.
"I love y-"
Carly stepped in between Freddie and Sam. "Hey Sam, who's your friend?"
Freddie put on a face that said 'love at first sight' and said to Carly "I love you." He had feelings for Sam but at that moment he didn't know what he was doing. Then turned back to Sam. "So what is it you were going to tell me?"
She got up and poured her sundae with whipped cream on his head. "I hate you." Then she ran home both sad and angry.
"What have I done?" Freddie said to himself.
"Look, I've gotta go," Freddie said, not wanting to go back to a past that didn't need to be brought up again.
"And what is it you like about Carly so much?"
"Seriously, I have to go."
"Is it just because of the way she looks?"
"Seriously, my mom's probably waiting in the car wondering where the heck I am." He ran towards the parking lot, hoping Nicole wouldn't follow him and looked around until he found his mom's car.
Wow, he thought to himself. That girl really gives you the guilty feeling inside.
"Oh, there you are Freddie," Mrs. Benson said. "I was so worried. I was about to call NASA to do a DNA search."
"Uh… well, that's very kind of you," he said sarcastically, then whispered, "I guess."
"So have you scheduled your date with Sam?"
"Yes mom, now let's go. Please."
"Okay."
When Freddie was out of Nicole's sight, Nicole got off the grass and got away from the All Girl's Academy campus. "I never thought he was the kind of guy to fall in love with girls just from their looks." She sighed. "People these days." She walked towards the PCA campus and entered the school. She went up the stairs to the girls' dorm and started looking. "101, 101, 101, 101. Ah. Here it is. 101." She opened the door, nobody was there. "They're probably visiting the boys." So she headed towards the boys' dorm and started looking. "Ah. Here it is. Michael, Chase, and Logan's room." She opened the door. Apparently Zoey and Lola were having a fight with Quinn and Logan.
"I just can't believe you lied to us," Zoey said. "We've been your friends for so long and you couldn't find it in yourselves to admit you two were dating?"
"You two are dating?!" Nicole yelled from the door, shocked. "Okay, I've heard about a lot of weird couples in my lifetime. But you two?! You can't be serious right?!"
"See," Quinn said. "This is exactly why we didn't want to tell you guys. We knew you wouldn't accept us as a couple. You would always say things like 'why are you defending Logan?' And you all were always making fun of him and I never thought you would be nice to us if you found out."
"Well we might of," Lola said. "If you had been honest with us from the beginning. Besides, since when are you one to care Quinn? I hear you tell your parents all the time not to care what other people think of you. To just be yourself. Why can't you take your own advice?"
"I-I'm sorry," Quinn started to cry.
"Me too," Logan said, putting his head against Quinn's.
"Woah," Nicole blinked. "Is Logan actually… crying?!" She started laughing. "Logan?! Crying?! Hahaha. This is like a dream come true."
Zoey, Chase, Lola, and Michael turned to face her. "Nicole?!"
"Yes, thank you for FINALLY noticing," she rolled her eyes.
"I thought you had Obsessive Male Gender Disorder," Zoey said.
"Oh, I do. I snuck out of the All-Girls Academy though."
"I'm so glad you're back," Lola hugged her.
"Thanks."
Lola and Zoey turned to face Quinn and Logan again.
"Now that Nicole's back, we can get a new roommate," Lola crossed her arms.
She, Zoey, and Nicole started walking to the principal's office.
"Wait, no, don't-" Quinn said. But they kept going. She let go of Logan and started running after them.
When they finally got to the principal's office, she stood in front of them. "No, please, don't change roommates."
"It's too late Quinn, we're switching," Zoey said.
"Wait, no, please, you can't do this."
"Yes we can," Lola said, grabbing Quinn by the back. "Now move."
