CH 3: iNot So Carly

It's been a week and a half since junior year started and I'm already getting annoyed with Carly. Remember how obnoxious my relationship with Jonah was? Well the same thing is happening now, sort of, with Carly now. We haven't really seen her much outside of school. We've hung out during iCarly rehearsals but once rehearsals are over, she leaves to hang out with Griffin. Let's hope this doesn't last long.

I was walking with David to Carly's apartment. It was iCarly's back to school special and I really wanted him to be there.

"I'm really nervous," he sighed. I smiled at him. "Eh, it's not big deal. Being in front of the camera gives you such a rush. All stage fright goes away. Trust me."

"Okay good."

We finally reached the Bushwell Plaza and Lewbert was taking a nap. I gagged when I saw a huge dab of wart cream on his wart. He needs to have that thing removed for everyone's health. Looking at that every day is just not something you want to live with.

I opened Carly's door and surprise surprise, there was Spencer working on yet another strange sculpture. It was a giant house made out of cotton swabs and white glue. Someone has been watching Zoey 101 a bit too much. We reached the studio to find a very nervous looking Freddie pacing back and forth.

"Whoa what's wrong Fredward?"

He was messing with his phone before he snapped. "SAM! Oh god Sam, Carly isn't here. She said she was going to hang out with Griffin for a while before the show and she hasn't returned. iCarly starts in FIVE MINUTES." Did I hear him right? How could CARLY miss iCarly?

"Did you call her?" I asked him.

"Only a million times and I've texted her. She hasn't returned any of them. What are we gonna do? Oh god three minutes. THREE MINUTES" He screamed.

I looked at David and it gave me an idea. "Okay Freddie, calm down. David can fill in for Carly. We will deal with her later." I lead David to the middle of the studio as Freddie got the camera ready. "David, just follow my lead and try not to be nervous. I'll introduce you to the audience and Freddie can fill in for Carly during the play. You can handle the camera during the play. The play is only a minute."

He looked at me nervously. "Uh... o-okay... I'll try my best."

"Okay let's TRY to put on a good show. Thanks David... in 5, 4, 3, 2.." started Freddie

"Hi everyone, I'm Sam and today on iCarly's back to school special, we are gonna change it up a bit." I said happily to the camera. I was pissed off deep inside. I understand Carly likes Griffin and they have some sort of history together but she cannot just ditch iCarly like that. When I was with Jonah, I ditched rehearsals but I did not ditch the actual days of shooting. And I know I'm trying to not be so mean now but Carly is gonna hear a few words from me later.

I looked at David and he looked nervous. I could see sweat all over his forehead. I placed my hand on David's back and pushed him towards the camera a little bit.

"This is David. He will be filling in for Carly seeing as she decided to hang out with her Pee Wee Baby collecting freak of a boyfriend instead of doing the show." I pressed a button on my blue remote and the room was filled with happy cheers. "Say hello to the people David," I said, trying to make him more comfortable.

"Hey everyone, I'm David. So Sam, what do we have planned?" he asked, trying to take the attention away from him.

"I'm glad you asked David. On this special iCarly, we are gonna make school fun and exciting. I know a lot of you get bored at school."

I grabbed some mechanical pencils and handed some to David. "Okay so we are gonna have a fun game of Darts. We taped some blown up balloons to the wall and we are gonna use these pencils at the balloons and hope that they pop."

I aimed carefully at the balloon a few feet away from me and I threw my pencil popping the balloon in a second. David started throwing some of his pencils too. He missed a few times but he got the hang of it after a few tries. After ten minutes of trying to pop twenty balloons, we moved on to the next bit.

"Okay now on iCarly, we are gonna talk about out first week of sch-" I was interrupted when I saw that someone barged into the room.

"OH MY GOD. I am soooo sorry guys." It was Carly.

"Carly, where were you?" Freddie asked as turned the camera towards Carly, who looked mortified by the way.

"I am so sorry guys. I was with Griffin and I totally forgot that we had the show tonight." She didn't notice the camera in front of her.

"How could you forget Carly? This was the very first iCarly of the school year and you just forgot? David here was nice enough to fill in for you while you were out playing with your little boyfriend." I yelled at her. She didn't say anything.

"Please don't blame Griffin. It was my fault. It wont happen again. I promise."

"Really Carly? REALLY? It's only been a week and you're already ditching us for him. Gahhh I can't even look at you right now. Freddie, I think we should cut the show and start over next week." I said and I walked out of the studio.

"I'm really sorry iCarly fans." Carly said as I heard her coming towards me. I was about to open the door when she called me out.

"Sam. Please don't be mad. I said I was sorry." I didn't look at her. I watched Freddie and David come towards us as well.

"We'll talk to tomorrow. Freddie, can I hang out at your house today? I need help with my homework." I looked at Freddie, hoping he would say yes. We decided not to do our tutoring on the days we shot iCarly. iCarly days were just chill, fun days and we didn't want to stress over school work but today, I needed an excuse to not be at Carly's house.

"Okay sure." He said.

I saw Carly get into the elevator pretty upset. I wasn't going to pity her so I just ignored her

I turned to David. I felt so bad for him. He was excited to do iCarly and it was completely ruined for him. "I'm sorry David. The show wasn't supposed to turn out this way."

He smiled at me. "Hey no problem. I still had a good time playing darts with those balloons." I nodded in agreement pretty nervously.

He started rubbing the back of his neck and he gave a big sigh. "Sam, umm you maybe wanna hang out sometime? Like a date?"

Whoah I did not see that coming. I turned to look at Freddie whose eyes had widened. (A/N Remember on iMake Sam Girlier when Freddie said "Amazing" at Sam's transformation. Ok that is Freddie's reaction right now)

"I'll wait for you in my house. Later David and thanks again for being part of the show tonight," Freddie said as he exited the Shay's apartment.

I turned to face David again. I like him but I didn't think he actually liked me back. If you know me, you know my history with the opposite sex. They just screw me over but I still liked him.

"Sure... call me okay...? I have to do my homework now" He smiled and gave me a hug before we left the apartment. I saw him walk down the hall and once I lost sight of him, I opened the door to Freddie's house.

"Hey... ugh crazy day" I greeted Freddie as I threw myself on his couch. I was overwhelmed. First Carly missed iCarly causing us to get into a public fight live... again, and then David asked me out. I was happy but of all days, he had to ask me out the day I got into an argument with my best friend. I really like him though, so of course I said yes.

"So how did it go with David? Did you say yes?" I turned to look at Freddie, who was sitting on the chair next the couch, having a bowl of ice cream.

"Uh... I said yes... can I have some ice cream?" He chuckled as he handed me his bowl

I took the bowl and just stared at it. I couldn't help but think back at how horrible my last relationships ended. Jonah wanted to kiss Carly. That jackass got what he deserved. We left him bouncing all night and when we finally let him go, he couldn't walk. It was pretty hilarious. Now Pete... he was sure something. I thought that my relationship with him was gonna last because he liked me for me. It turned out he was just another manly boy who was embarrassed about getting his ass kicked by a girl. I had a good arm wrestling match with him during lunch last year and I won. He didn't take it well so he ended our relationship. What if me and David become boyfriend and girlfriend? Will he just use me to get a prettier girl like Carly? Will he let his male pride get to him?

"Uh.. Sam? Are you okay?" said Freddie and I snapped out of my thoughts. "Huh? What?"

"You have been staring at the ice cream for a few minutes now. I"m surprised you didn't inhale it all." He joked

"Ha ha! Funny." I answered him sarcastically. He laughed for a few seconds but then he became silent.

"Seriously are you okay? Is this about David?"

Me and Freddie have done a pretty good job getting along these past cople of days but I don't think I was ready to open myself completely to him. Boys are my weakness and well, he is a boy too. Maybe I can get a guy's perspective. Here goes nothing.

"Yeah... I like him but... what if he's just like Jonah or Pete?" I sat the bowl of ice cream on the table in front of me. I surprisingly lost my appetite.

"Well those two are assholes. David seems like a nice guy." He said.

"Yeah he does but come on. We all know guys only see me as someone that can kick ass. They all forget that no matter how tough I am, I'm still a girl."

He just stared at me, not knowing what to say.

"Also, guys always want someone prettier, like Carly. They either use me or dump me cause I'm too aggressive." I said as I put my head down.

"That's bullshit, Sam. Not every guy is like that. I"m not like that"

I pulled my head up to look at him and I started laughing. "HA! Don't even go there Benson. You too can also make girls pretty shitty about themselves."

"What do you mean?" He had a very confused look on his face.

I paused for a moment. I can't believe I said that. It just slipped. I wasn't supposed to. What am I gonna tell him? That he makes me feel even more icky about myself? That it bothers me how sweet he's always been towards Carly but he treated me like some sort of monster? No! I deserved to be called a demon, a thing, and a bully. But still, I couldn't help but feel bad about myself. At least I had another subject to fall back on.

"Melanie told me about your date with her." I told him.

"Goodness Sam, again with this? There is NO Mela-" I interrupted him by shoving my wallet in his face. I pointed at it so he could open it. It had a picture of me and Melanie in it. My mom forced us to go to a studio and take pictures together. I don't know why but I did not have a good time. His eyes were wide.

"Wow you weren't kidding but what does that have to do with me and the guys that have hurt you?"

"Well you personally haven't done anything to me but it doesn't mean that you haven't done some pretty hurtful things." I started. I don't know where I'm going with this but I hope it works.

"Ok so what have I said?" He looked very concerned.

"Melanie told me about how you thought it was me during your date. How you grabbed her hand and then threw it back at her. How you pushed her arm. She said that hurt by the way. If it was some girlie girl that didn't look like me, you probably would have been all lovey dovey. Face it, I'm just another one of the boys to you."

Oh god, I sounded like a jealous mess. I don't even like Freddie but he did make me feel bad about myself. I just wish it didn't come out that way.

"Aw Sam. I'm sorry you felt that way but come on. You've tortured me on a daily basis." He stood up and made his way to the kitchen.

"It's ok Freddork. I deserve to be treated like shit. It's only fair." I said as I followed him to the kitchen.

"Look Sam, no one deserves to be treated like crap, even you. Just accept that David might like you and give it a shot." He looked pretty frustrated. I don't blame him.

"Okay okay sorry about that. Yeah you're right. I'll give it a shot. Thanks dork." I got on my tippy toes and I messed up his hair, like a little brother only that he is taller.

"Anytime." He gave me a smile.

We grabbed some popcorn and sat back down on the couch. We watched movies until it was time for me to go home. Maybe David does like me. Maybe I'm just being paranoid.

One thing is for sure, I really like David enough to give him a chance at being more than friends.

Okay so there you go. I hope you guys liked it. I don't like this chapter much. It was a little eh to me. Next chapter will be David and Sam hanging out.

I know Sam acted like she has a thing for Freddie but she doesn't like him like that... at least not yet ;) I think that even if she doesn't like him, she is still hurt by some of the things he has said to her in the past like "This THING is not my friend" or "Take that you blond headed demon"

And for all you Seddie lovers, please keep in mind that this IS a SEDDIE story. I have something VERY unexpected planned in a future chapter that I think you all might like. So even if you don't like the David/Sam scenes, please keep reading. It will be worth it :)

Well until next chapter.
