Carly's POV

It's a month and a half into school and things aren't the same around here, or with me Freddie and Sam. For starters they have been so busy and we barely ever see each other. I only see them during iCarly rehearsals and the show on Friday. Well I shouldn't say we, because Sam and Freddie are together all the time, without me. They hang out together with the cheerleaders and the dumb jocks. Gibby's turned into a real douchebag. He has hit on me along with other girls in my class on numerous times.

The whole school has this like gossip site just for the cheerleaders and the football players about who is gonna end up with whom. In all honesty I was surprised that Sam and Freddie still weren't together. Some people think Gibby isn't gonna be with a cheerleader, but is gonna end up with me instead. Yeah, maybe when the old sweet Gibby comes back and this new ass isn't in his place. Some think that Nathan, who didn't work out with Sam, is gonna end up with Jenny. Some people think that Katie is gonna get with this dude on the football team named Jason. There were different couples everyone routed for. Funny thing was, Sam and Freddie were the main people on there.

I only go on the site when I'm totally bored, therefor I go on the site 22/5 not quite 24/7. It gets weird hanging out with Freddie and Sam now. They laugh at the most random things and claim it's an inside joke. Freddie is always, ALWAYS flexing which drives me crazy, almost as much as Sam always checking herself in the mirror. When we go to the Groovy Smoothie, Sam has the smallest smoothie and still doesn't finish it. She says she is watching her weight. For one thing it's impossible for her to gain weight and I know because when she ate like a pig, she was so skinny. Freddie always had the biggest smoothie you could have and always somehow gulped down the rest of Sam's. I totally forgot why. (I had a reason and forgot it =P) They used words like "Bubbly" and "totally" all the time. What the heck is bubbly? The worst part is, if a cheer buddy of football teammate came into the groovy smoothie, they would totally ditch me! And I had no one else to hang out with. Funny, being a famous web star, you would think I had more friends, wouldn't you?

So its lunch time and I see some of the cheerleaders sitting with some of the jocks outside. It was Sam, Freddie, Gibby, Wendy, Nathan, Jenny, Derek and Katie. Katie had dropped her followers Lauren and Kenzy. They were still on the team together, but Katie hung out with Sam, Wendy, and Jenny now. Or should I say Sammy. Her cheer friends call her Sammy so her name ends in an "ie" or "y" sound. I take a deep breath and walk over to they're group. Here I go.

"Hey, guys" I say cheerfully. They all look at me a little confused.

"Um, hey Carls" Sam says and then everyone started to burst out laughing like hyenas.

"Um is something funny about my name?" I ask

"No, but there was this dork who tried to get with these babes right here" Freddie said

"Yeah like they stood a chance" Sam said flipping her hair over her shoulder.

"And what does that have to do with anything?" I ask

"None of us remembered his name, so we just called him Carl" Gibby They all laugh again, I didn't find it quite funny

"What a looser!" Jenny said between laughs.

"Ha, ha, yeah" I say awkwardly. They calm down finally. Is that what they did all lunch? Make fun of people?

"Hey Freddie, can you do it?" Sam asked. What was she talking about?

"Yeah Nathan, can you?" Jenny asked.

"Totally!" Nathan said. Then all got in a push up position. Sam sat on Freddie, Wendy sat on Gibby, Katie sat on Derek and Jenny sat on Nathan.

"Yo Carly, you can keep track, count how many pushups we can do" Derek said.

"Um… ok" I say. "Ready, set, go" with that all four guys did pushups with the girls sitting on them. I counted how many they did. Then slowly they started to slowdown. Gibby especially. He was the first to go down after 23 pushups.

"Aw, com on Gibby!" Wendy said. Then Nathan looked a little weak but kept it up. It was surprisingly Derek who went down next at 36.

"Don't fret Derek" Katie said. "As long as you don't lose next time" After him it was Nathan, it didn't take long for him to drop at 40. Freddie was going strong and kept going Sam just sitting there with her legs crossed.

"Come on Freddie" she says and he keeps on going. Counting him he was already at seventy pushups. eighty… ninety… it was at a hundred when he finally got tired but he didn't fall until he was already on hundred and 27 with everyone cheering him on, even me. Everyone cheered when he was done. So this is what it's like to hang out with the popular kids.

"You're like, totally awesome Freddie!" Wendy said

"Hey, you want to play spend the bottle?" Katie asked holding an empty bottle that once held… beer? They drink?

"Where'd you find that bottle?" I asked her

"Chillax Carly it had root beer in it" Sam said and they laughed as I blushed. "How bad would it be if it were a beer bottle anyway?" Did she ask me that?

"Yeah, there's just something about the rush you get, it's so bubbly making!" Jenny said. I bet it is I thought still not knowing what they're saying.

"Ok are we gonna play or not?" Wendy asked.

"Duh!" Jenny said. I wasn't sure but I remembered I was doing this to be with Sam and Freddie. We sat in a circle. I was next to Sam and Gibby. He was the first to go and it landed on Jenny first. They made out for a good five seconds at the least and I was surprised. I didn't know it was going to be a full make out session, I barely know these people. I look at Sam and Freddie and decide to stay.

"Ok!" Nathan said. "My turn!" He spun the bottle and it landed on Wendy who smirked and kissed him a little longer. Then it was Katie's turned and the bottle landed on Freddie. He easily got up and kissed her, with tongue I may add. I looked at Sam who was laughing at the two, I guess it's all good fun. Good harmless germy fun. Then it was Derek's turn who spun. Then it started to slowdown and finally land on… ME! Act cool, it's no big deal, it's just a kiss. Even though you don't know this boy. 'I really don't know this guy! All I know about him is that his name is Derek and he's on the football team!' I thought to myself.

"Whoo come on Shay!" Freddie said and Sam giggled. Derek walked over to me. 'Act cool for Sam, act cool for Freddie! Ok Lean in, ok good. EW HE HAS DORITO BERATH! I CAN TASTE THE NACO CHEESE!' I pulled away and almost barfed but didn't show it. Wendy spun and it landed on Gibby.

"GIB-BAY!" he said and they made out. I don't know what that feeling was, was that… jealousy? I know I like Gibby a little bit but I wasn't expecting to feel jealous! Jenny spun and it landed on Derek. They kissed and when they pulled away Jenny had a weird look on her face that was a cross between amusement and entertainment. I know why, though he had Dorito breath, he wasn't a bad kisser.

"Did you have Doritos?" Jenny asked. "I can taste them" and she licked her lips.

"Ok Freddie your turn!" Katie said. He spun it the hardest. It kept on going around and around and around. It finally slowed down towards Wendy and stopped right in between me and Sam.

"TRI-KISS!" they hollered. What the heck is a tri-kiss? Freddie made out with Sam and everyone did they're 'ooh' sounds. Then he walked over and laid one on me. It was weird kissing Freddie but I must confess when I say, after all these years he had perfected it. 'Ok so when it lands in the middle he kisses both of us, makes since' I thought. 'But why was it called a tri-kiss?' I asked myself. I soon got the answer when Sam faced me and gave me kiss, one in which I wasn't expecting. 'Oh, triANGLE-kiss'. That was way too weird, I don't think I ever want to sit with the cheerleaders and the jocks again.

A/N Thank you so so so so so so so much for the subscriptions and the reviews! It's so awesome! SO I decided to give you a treat. I've been working hard and I decided to give you a three for 1 special!

Some of you may not like that I skipped a whole month, but in the next chapter you will see how they evolved from where they were when they started, to where they are now. I hope you like it, R&R!
