Saturday
Melanie grinned at the trio and started to make her way to them. She looked like as though she and Sam had planned on what to wear… then again maybe they did. Melanie was wearing white gladiator sandals and she was wearing a while mini skirt and black, thin, long sleeved sweater, and a white vest.
"Hey Sam!" Melanie said as she approached the trio, hugging her sister.
"Hey Mel." Sam said as she hugged back with a smile on her face.
Carly and Freddie's eyebrows rose a bit at the scene, they were very well informed that Sam hated her twin, but they shrugged it off, piling the questions for later on.
The twins let go of each other and Melanie turned to Carly and Freddie.
"Hey Carly!" said Melanie as she wrapped her arms around Carly.
"Nice to see you again Melanie." Carly smiled as she hugged back.
Then Melanie turned to Freddie. Both of them blushed.
"Hey Freddie." Melanie smiled softly.
"Hey." Freddie gave a short wave.
He still hasn't gone over the embarrassment from when they last met, and Melanie still harbored some feelings toward Freddie, although it was slowly fading and not as strong as before.
Sam rolled her eyes on their exchange, a wall blocking some emotion that she doesn't want to be seen in her eyes.
"C'mon, let's get moving." Sam grumbled.
Melanie laughed as she hooked an arm with her sister.
"Okay, so Sam you know where you're staying, now Carly, you will be staying on the spare room in our dorm with Sam. You'll love my dorm. Oh and I'll introduce you to Alex, you'll love her." Carly nodded, excited. Then, Melanie turned to Freddie, "YOU are not allowed in the girls dorm." Melanie said firmly, receiving giggles from Sam and Carly. "So YOU are staying on the spare room at Aaron's and Josh's room."
Sam's eyes sparked up at the sound of Aaron's name, and Freddie was quick enough to notice it. His eyes narrowed a bit as he nodded at Melanie who was oblivious to what just happened.
"Okay, so first you will just drop your things, and then I'm going to give you three a tour." Melanie said excitedly.
She was so excited that the trio found it hard not to be.
They approached a tall building and entered it. there was a lounge type as they entered which was full of girls and some boys. There were pool tables, flat screen TV's, sofas, bean bags, and such and each of them were in pastel colors, they immediately recognized this as the dorm room.
They all crossed it with their luggage, some of the girls there smiled and waved at them; some greeted them, already familiar to the iCarly stars.
"It's so weird. It's like everybody knows us." Carly muttered as she took one last glance at the dorm lounge as the elevator doors were closing.
"Of course they do, most of us are big fans of iCarly." Melanie smiled.
The elevator doors opened, we arrived at Melanie's floor. Sam and Melanie took the lead to the dorm room.
They arrived at a door with a large 'A' and 'M' hot pink wooden letters stuck to the door. Melanie opened the door and they were given a 3 second view of the living room of the dorm, in which there was a nice lengthy plush sofa, flat screen TV, coffee table, and at the far corner was a breakfast table, stove, sink, microwave, refrigerator, and kitchen island, before their view was blocked by a girl with bright red hair that fell straight to her back, hugging Sam tightly.
"Saaaaaaaam!" She squealed.
"Hey Alex." Sam chuckled as she hugged back before she added, "You're kinda choking me Al."
"Oh sorry." Alex chuckled. She let go of Sam and notice the rest of the iCarly gang. "Oh my gosh, you're Carly and you're Freddie!" She said as she once more squealed and gave both of them a hug.
Carly chuckled, "You must be Alex."
"Yeah." She said as she let go of the two. She placed a lock of her bright red hair behind her ear as Carly looked at her more closely. She had bright red hair that was really straight, she has those nice side bangs, deep blue eyes, really pale skin, full lips, and was around 5"3. She was wearing a short denim skirt, a pink layered top and knee high fuchsia fur boots.
Carly smiled at Alex, she was nice and Carly already liked her. They all stood in silence for a while.
"Oh, sorry. Come in guys." Alex said as she stepped out of the doorway.
"Finally." Sam and Melanie chuckled.
"Okay, so Carly you will be staying with Sam on that room." Melanie said as she pointed to the room opposite the other two bedrooms. "Don't worry, the bed there has a pull out."
"Okay." Carly smiled as she and Sam made their way to their room for the next month.
Melanie turned to Freddie once the door shut behind Sam.
"Now YOU are coming with me to go to Josh and Aaron's room."
Alex chuckled as she waved at Freddie goodbye, "Hey say, hi to Aaron and Josh for me. Oh and tell Josh he still owes me a new Louis Vuitton handbag."
"Sure, sure." Melanie said as she ushered Freddie out of their dorm room.
They went back down the elevator to the lounge and out the door. They walked together quietly, awkwardness seeping through the two of them.
"So…" Freddie said to break the awkward silence.
Melanie chuckled. "How about we do this again?"
Freddie's thoughts immediately raced back to their kiss on the club so he instinctively pulled back a little and a look of shock pierced his face. Melanie wasn't fazed by his reaction, she merely raised an eyebrow at it.
"I meant introducing ourselves to each other. You never did formally meet me, since you kept thinking I was my sister." She said amused. Freddie blushed. "I'm Melanie Puckett, twin sister of Sam Puckett, I study here at PABS, and I, like you guys, are on my sophomore year." She said as she held out her hand.
"Freddie Benson, I go to Ridgeway High, tech producer for iCarly, best friend to Carly, and I don't know what to Sam." He gave a light chuckle with a hint of darkness in it as he shook her hand. Melanie's face softened at what he heard.
"You're her best friend too you know." She said as they continued on walking.
Freddie just shrugged and smiled a bit at the thought.
"I know you like her Freddie." Melanie chuckled as the neared a building as large as the girls' dorm, Freddie took it as the boys' dorm, it was a lengthy distance from the girls'.
Freddie nearly collided with a door with her unexpected words.
"I- what?" He stuttered as they entered the boys lounge. A lot of the boys turned to look at them, some greeted to Melanie or attempted to talk to her but she just waved them off, not taking her eyes off of Freddie.
"You. Like. Her. And I mean that as more than a friend Freddie." She chuckled as she pressed the 'up' button on the elevator.
"Wait- who?"
Melanie rolled her eyes as they stepped into the elevator. "Sam; who else?"
With that Freddie laughed out loud. "Oh, you… hahaha… think… ha… that I-… ah… like Sam?" He said in between laughs.
Melanie sighed and rolled her eyes. Boys, so in denial. She thought. They had arrived at the 4th floor and they stepped out of the elevator and made their way to Josh's dorm.
They walked quietly except for Freddie's occasional laughter. Soon enough they reached a plain door and Melanie opened it without bothering to knock.
"Melanie!" A guy who was sitting on one of the bar stools by the kitchen island fell off it, landing on his back.
"Josh." Melanie said nodding. "This is Freddie." She said as she gestured at me.
"Oh! From iCarly. Hey, we watch it you know. Your show is awesome." He, Josh, said as he got up and started to shake Freddie's hand.
"Your room is that way Freddie." Melanie said, pointing to the only door without caution signs and stops signs and all the other signs on it.
"Hey, hey. My dorm, I get to point out the rooms." Josh said.
Melanie laughed. "Fine, care to point me to where Aaron is?"
"There." He grumbled as he pointed towards to door with a large 'Parental Supervision: Explicit Content' sign on it.
"So… how does it feel like working with two hot girls?" Josh asked Freddie.
Freddie raised his eyebrows and looked at Josh with a little disgust.
"Ignore him." Melanie muttered as she walked past them and headed to Aaron's room.
"I know, I know. I get that look a lot when I ask those questions." Josh said as he jumped into the sofa. "Do you play?" Josh asked as he threw Freddie a wireless remote controller and pointed to the game console and flashing screen.
Meanwhile in Aaron's room…
Melanie walked in Aaron's room to see him lying down on his bed, staring at the ceiling, with earphones stuck to his ears and his pearpod resting on his stomach.
Melanie moved quickly and quietly to his side, making sure that she was out of his peripheral vision. She grinned and blasted the volume on his pearpod.
"Crap!!" He shouted as fell off his bed and he yanked the earphones out of his ears. "What the hell?!" He shouted as he climbed back to his bed, flustered.
"Sam's here." Melanie said as she watched as Aaron's eyes visibly perked up.
"Seriously?? Cool." He said as he sat up a little straighter.
"Yeah, hey and Freddie is here too." Melanie said as she watched his reaction from the corner of her eyes.
"That dude from iCarly that a lot of the girls here are fawning at?" He said frowning.
"For your information his hot and adorable and he is one of the rare people who could mix those two descriptions together perfectly." Melanie said as she took Aaron's pillow and whacked him with it repeatedly. "And yes, that 'dude'." She said rolling her eyes as she dropped the pillow.
"Ah." Aaron said as he lowered the volume of his blaring earphones and stuck it back on his ears. He fluffed the pillow and he lay back down on his bed.
Melanie grabbed one of his earphones and yanked them out of his ears. "What do you think you're doing??" She hissed.
"uhm… listening to music?" Aaron stated innocently.
"Fine. Be that way." Melanie said as she stuck her tongue out at him childishly and left his room.
Aaron chuckled at her expression as she closed the door behind her.
Ahhh…
Don't you like Aaron? I think he's cool and awesome. And wait till you here how hot he is. LOL.
