Gah! I failed my math test (as expected :P). I asked mom not to get the cards this sem. Sorry if this chapter is short and it took me long enough to update but there's just too many school works! Math makes me hate school even worse!

Disclaimer: I don't own iCarly... yet(not unless Dan told me I'm the true owner of iCarly)

Chapter 3- Truth and Consequence

Freddie's POV

May the best man win? Can't you see? Every girl wants you? Of course you'll win! I looked at Sam then back to Scott.

"Earth to fredifart!" I almost jumped out of my seat. She chuckled. "Here's you're yogurt" she smiled.

"Thanks" I smiled. "So you and Scott we're childhood friends?" I just can't think of anything to say.

"Haha! What now you remember Missy in him?" Ha! Actually I do. Except that I think he's a fair fighter but he'll do his best just to get Sam from me; and if Sam hears this she'll think that I think I own her and she doesn't want being owned.

"Missy?" Scott the GREAT asked.

"Carly's childhood friend."

"What's the issue with her?"

"Oh. She just tried to steal Carly back from me." I smiled and chuckled. I looked at Scott, he look at me raising his eyebrow slightly.

"Ohh. So where is she?"

"She left after winning the school at sea thing which is weird because I never really saw her sign up for it." She paused. If only she knew. "Which leads us to the sad Fredward Benson" She said gesturing her hands towards me.

"Why?"

"He actually fought over that wild crowd just to get signed up for it" She laughed. I love it when she laughs. She poked my face. "Isn't that right Benson?" She said baby talking me. I tapped her finger away from my face.

"Hey! I actually won that trip" Sam's eyes widened. Darn it! Why did I tell her about that! She wasn't supposed to know! I looked down at my frozen yogurt and played with my spoon.

"What did you just say Freddie?"

"I said I actually tripped" Well. I hope she'll let this go.

"No, you said you won. Freddie, tell me the truth!" I sighed. "Alright, alright. Remember the night you came to me for help-" I was cut by Sam "and you thought I was lying." She nodded "not my fault "I said as a comeback. She opened her mouth to talk

"Interrupt or I will never tell you this again, ever." She closed her mouth.

"Well, I kinda believe you so when I discovered I won the trip I felt guilty when you thought I didn't believe you last night so... I asked Principal Franklin if I can switch places with Missy."

Sam's P.O.V

My jaw dropped. How could he possibly give up something he wants badly that he would even penetrate a freakish mob just to win it? Most specially why would he do it for… me? Just then I glared at him. He knows my pride and now I owe him and he knows that I hate it when someone's butting in with my problems. Gah!

"Why the hell were you butting in with me and Missy's fight?" I said shouting, making the other people in the shop look at us. I rolled my eyes glaring at them! These people should mind their own little businesses.

"What? Mind your own business people!" I said glaring and at the same time shouting at them as I stood up.

"Wha— you're the one who asked for help!" He replied. Gawd, he's such a dork.

"It's a girl's thing Freddie, make the feminine part of your brain work doof!" I sighed.

"Sam!" He whined at the insult. "And what do you mean 'it's a girl's thing'?" I rolled my eyes. And to think he was so smart.

"Duh! Freddie I'm a girl I need someone to talk to when I'm upset!"

"Well I'm sorry for not knowing but can't you at least thank me for helping you with something?" He sighed. I can't just thank him. I mean why should I? I mean He's supposed to be the one saying sorry.

"Why should I thank you? You're the one who's supposed to say sorry"

"Oh, me? You're the one I did the favour for"

"Didn't ask"

"Did too"

"Ohh really"

"Yeah right"

"Whatever! You're such a dork"

"That's it! I'm leaving!"

"Go ahead!" but the truth is I don't want him to leave. I want him to stay. Why do we always end up fighting every time we're doing something fun? The other 'fights' were fun, though. I love those fights because those fights were different than this. On the other fights we were merely teasing each other but this time we're really fighting. I sighed as he exited the store. I looked at the table. He left his yogurt.

"Uhh... Sam?" Scott tapped my back and I smiled at him letting him know I was fine. Just then Freddie came bursting in. I glared. He replied with a glare.

"I forgot my yogurt" He said while grabbing his yogurt. I almost laughed at this but I can't. He might think I've forgiven him but I still don't so boo yah! He marched out of the blueberry. Ugh. Sometimes this dork could get so annoying! I looked at Scott.

"I'm sorry" I said in the softest tone I could give.

"Why are you saying sorry?" He chuckled. I don't know. I just felt like it.

"I don't know" I sighed "Let's just go home. Where are you staying anyway?"

"At my aunt's house. It's near Bushwell plaza"

"Well, Guess we're heading opposite ways. Bye Scott" I smiled

"Bye Sam, Nice meeting you… again"

"You too" And with that I left walking on the street that looks quiet. I can even hear a couple fighting in an alley about the guy cheating on the girl. I didn't bother to listen, I don't know them anyway. I sighed as I walked towards my home.

Why does every moment I spend with Freddie take a huge turn and always ends up with us fighting? No, fighting was not the right word actually it's more of teasing and stuff like that but this time it's really a fight. I guess I was just surprised of what he did for me that I didn't respond correctly; instead I got mad at him. It's my pride thing and it's kinda hard for me to avoid it.

As I got near my house, rain started to fall making me more pissed than I already was. I ran across the street to reach our house. As I ran across our lawn the sprinklers went on. Why would mom turn the sprinklers on when it's raining? And why would she turn it on at this hour? I rolled my eyes and went inside. I closed the door behind me.

"Mom?" I sighed as I took off my shoes/sandals.

"I'm in the kitchen" I walk towards the kitchen.

"Why are the sprinklers on? It's raining mom?"

"Ohh. Sorry. I'll turn it off. While I'm turning it off can you please watch the timer for the oven so that the baked macaroni won't be over cooked?"

My eyes beamed and I nodded with happiness. Ha! I guess you wouldn't have thought my mom to be like that, did you? Of course not. Well I know that my mom was practically careless and job less, un-motherly – if that's even a word, but she changed since Melanie came back home. She gave mom 'chicken soup for moms' book thingy I thought she'll never read but she did which is surprisingly a big step to her motherhood. After that she hired a lawn mower, and then she started cleaning the house. She did fire the Lawn mower and decided to mow the lawn her self and she started waking up earlier to make me lunch for school and even got a job. I never told this to Freddie. I kinda told Carly but I left the job part untold. Mom didn't want anyone to know that she just work as a cashier at dor-mart but she said that in time she'll eventually be promoted and she promised me a lot of things I can't even remember some of them but I sort of wonder how come no one ever recognized her. Ding.

I heard the oven indicating it was ready. I grabbed the oven mittens and put them in my hand. I opened the oven with my other hand that is not wearing the oven mittens. Then I grabbed the towel and grabbed the baked mac with both of my hands. It's placed in a glass plate with handles on its side making it easier for me to hold it. I set it down our table and yelled.

"Mom! It's ready!"

"Ok, I'm coming!" She then came in and grabbed the plates. As I grabbed the spoon and fork I shivered. I remembered I was still wet.

"Oh, dear! Change your clothes I'll be the one in charge here!" I nodded as I ran in my room. I went to the bathroom to take a shower then grabbed whatever clothes are on the top. I ran down stairs. The table is all set up and now all I have to do is eat.

"Let's eat!"

Freddie's P.O.V

"Let's eat!" Mom said angrily as she dragged me down stairs to eat.

"But I don't wanna eat!" I said struggling. It's hard to have a mother like mine. I feel like being controlled or something. This is actually my thinking time. Time to think how things went so far this day but I already figure that out anyway. It's a mixture of worst and best.

"No! If you're not going to eat you'll turn like one of those hobos out there!" I rolled my eyes. Someone needs to consider giving my mom a mother's guide for this years Christmas gift. I sat on the chair slouching. My mom frowned seeing that. She slammed her hand at the table. I sat erect in shock.

"FREDWARD BENSON, Remember the rule?" yeah, the rule.

"You won't get respect when your back's not erect" I said it with her in unison.

"Well, then follow the rule." I rolled my eyes as she turned her back. I mean, I'm a young man I'm supposed to be free, right? She grabbed the plates and set them in the table. Sam. What the hell that was random! I closed my eyes as her name shots through my head in an uncountable number. I sighed. What is wrong with her? I mean I gave her a favour and I got scolded. She's such a random girl. I looked at the food place on the table. I didn't have the appetite to eat it. I continued to stare at it until my mom noticed.

"What's wrong dear? Don't you like it?"

"No, Mom. I'm just not hungry" I stood up sighing.

"But Freddie"

"Please Mom" I closed my eyes as I walked towards my room. I looked at my phone thinking if I should call Sam or not, if I should apologize to her or not?

I searched Sam's name through my contacts. I played with the green icon on the left side of my pearphone screen. As I accidentally touch the icon, my eyes widened. Oh God, I don't even now what to say. Should I ask her out? Stupid dork! You're supposed to say sorry. I brought the phone to my right ear. I can hear my heavy and shallow. I'm really nervous. I heard the last ring and no one answered. I sighed. Maybe I should try calling her again. I heard a girls voice saying "sorry the number you dialled is not yet in service—" I hung up the phone and sighed as I brought my left arm in to my forehead.
