Hello there. This is my very first story and I'm still pretty new to this site, too. So, pretty please be sweet and don't hate on me. I can really use some advice and helpfulness with all of this so please when you are done reading this chapter, review and tell me what you think I did well or what I should do differently. If you do, thank you in advance. Well, let's get this started. I'm so excited! :D
This is a Seddie story even if it doesn't sound like it at first.
Disclaimer: What's a disclaimer? Oh, I just have to say that I don't own iCarly? REALLY? Hahaha! Like ever in any universe here or far, far away would I be the owner of iCarly. Wow, I wish…
iThink This Could Be Fun
Chapter 1
Freddie's POV:
It's a Monday back at school. I didn't get much sleep last night since my mom saw a spider and led me on a late night spider hunt. She would NOT give up until she found the stupid thing. She claimed it was because she wasn't going to have her Freddie get bit, but I actually think she was just freaked out by it, saying it was HUGE. Oh well, I did get to fall asleep eventually, basically just in time for my alarm clock to go off. I wonder if she ever found the spider…
I slump into school, trudging my feet, not having the energy to lift them completely. I head in the direction of my locker. As I shuffle past Carly and Sam's lockers, I see Carly looking just as she does every day. Her hair, makeup, and clothes all perfect. Don't get me wrong, I'm over her, been that way for a while. We just work so much better as friends. But no matter who you are, you have to admit that she is a very pretty girl. Sam isn't here yet. She usually runs late on Mondays. After a weekend of sleeping in, it takes some extra effort from her to wake up so early again. Effort she doesn't want to give.
"Morning, Carls." I greet her as I continue on past.
Carly looks up real quick and smiles as she pushes some books into her locker.
"Hey." She says.
Once I get to my locker, I open it quickly and shove the books I would need later today in. Today is going to be such a long day.
I walk back over towards Carly and Sam's locker. Sam still isn't here. She better get here soon or she'll be late to our first class. Carly is busy fiddling with her phone, probably texting Sam to see where she is.
"Hey." I mutter. I would say more but considering the fact that my tired body feels like it weighs three tons and it wouldn't be too hard for me to fall over and sleep right here on the floor, it's the best I can do.
"Hey Freddie." She smiles, not looking up from her phone. The smile only lasts for a moment before her face returns to a look of concentration on her phone, mixed with what seems like worry. She says, "Sam isn't answering my texts. I hope she isn't still asleep. She can't afford to be late aga-" She glances up at me and does a double take when she sees my exhausted appearance. "Woah!" She exclaims. "What happened to you?"
"Well, my mom sa-" I began to say.
"Oh, I see." She giggles and looks amused but at the same time gives me a smile of sympathy. "Want some coffee?" she asks, holding the coffee cup in her hand that is not holding her phone out to me.
"Thanks." I say as I grab the cup. I look at her real quick to see if it is okay if I just drink straight from the cup.
"Oh, go ahead and just keep the whole thing. You look like you need it way more than me." She gestures with her hands at my appearance.
"Thanks." I say again.
Carly looks back down at her phone again, sticks her bottom lip out just a little, and makes a little sound that sounds like 'Hmph'. Apparently Sam still hasn't texted her back.
I take a sip of the coffee and as soon as it hits my tongue I start coughing and choking. It is very, very strong.
Carly looks up at me and laughs with a smile on her face that told me she knew that was going to happen.
"Oops, sorry. I forgot to mention. Apparently Spencer used to give me decaf. But now I make my own coffee so I make it my way. The stronger the better, that's how I like it." She states almost proudly with a smile.
"I can see that." I say while staring at the cup, almost afraid to take another sip.
Carly laughs a little and then points at the cup. "Well, go on. Drink it. It will wake you right up."
I take another sip and shudder, but at least I didn't start choking again. I drink some more.
Carly just laughs at me. She stops laughing as soon as she looks down at her phone. She groans, "Ugh, come on Sam!" She was obviously becoming very worried.
"Carly, calm down. I'm sure she'll get here soon. No need to get all upset." I assure her. Suddenly I see bouncing blonde curls approaching from behind Carly. Sure enough it's Sam. "See, there she is now." I gesture my hand up to point at Sam behind Carly.
Carly turns around and as soon as she sees Sam, she relaxes. She smiles and all the worry she was just experiencing seems to vanish.
Sam walks around us to get to her locker.
"Hey Carls. Hey nub." She greets us with a smile as she yanks her locker open.
"Morning." Carly and I both say together.
Sam looks very pretty today as well. Just like always. Again don't get me wrong. I don't have a thing for her either. It's just an obvious fact that she is an attractive girl. No one can deny it.
"Sam, why are so late? The bell is going to ring any minute. And why didn't you answer my texts?" Carly complains to Sam.
Sam turns around, keeping one hand on her locker door, and very lightly replies, "Sorry, Carls. I was just slow getting out of bed this morning. You know how I hate Mondays. And sorry about the not texting you back. I just wasn't in the mood to type." Sam then glances at me. "Oh, coffee!" She smiles and grabs the coffee right out of my hand and takes a drink. She isn't fazed at all by how strong the coffee is. "Mmm. Good coffee Fredifer." She says.
"Carly's." I say simply.
Sam just nods and takes another drink. I reach up and slowly pull the coffee away from her and back to me, shaking my head. I am very cautious, fearing she will snap at me. Sam lets go of the cup and just shrugs. Then she turns around to shut her locker. She must be in somewhat of a good mood today.
"Hey Freddie." I hear someone call from behind us. I turn around to see Gregg Daniels walking up to us.
I nod at him, silently greeting him. Then I take another gulp of the coffee. The rim tastes like Sam's lip gloss, but I don't really care. Gregg isn't someone I'm usually friends with. He is more a delinquent, tough guy, bad boy. But he is still a cool guy; I don't have any sort of problems with him. Besides he most likely is only greeting me so he can talk to the girls. It's something that happens a lot, and I'm used to it. The girls get a lot of attention. Like I said, they are both gorgeous. Especially this year now they are all grown up, you can say.
Just like I thought, he walks up and looks right at the girls.
"Morning Carly" He says while flashing her a grin.
Carly returns his smile and a faint blush appears under her cheeks. She plays with her hair while she says, "Hi Gregg." She obviously finds him good looking.
I feel kind of awkward standing here, but like I said it happens a lot and I'm getting used to it. I just continue to drink my coffee.
Gregg then turns to Sam and winks at her while he says, "Hello Samantha."
Sam steps up very close to him and pokes her finger into his chest. It probably hurt a little, she has long nails and it seems like she was pressing hard. She smiles and looks up at him, as he is a lot taller than her and she is standing very close. "I swear, Gregg, you really need to start calling me Sam." She practically purrs at him, and she never lets her flirty smile leave her face. I've got to admit she was pretty sexy.
Gregg chuckles and says, "I know, I know." He lightly pushes her hand from his chest but doesn't take a single step back, staying very close to her. Smiling down at her.
I stop paying attention and just keep drinking my coffee. Sam and Carly continue to flirt and giggle with Gregg for about a minute until the bell rings.
Gregg says goodbye and leaves to head to his class.
I walk over to a trash can and throw the empty coffee cup away. Then I turn around and walk back over to the girls so we can all walk to class together. We have the same first period. Chemistry.
As I walk back over, I hear Carly say to Sam, "Isn't Gregg is gorgeous?" She was very bubbly, probably from the excitement of talking to a cute guy.
I roll my eyes and walk up to them.
"Ready?" I ask.
They don't really reply to me, they just start walking with me and continue their conversation about Gregg.
"Yeah, he's alright." Sam says as she readjusts her backpack on her shoulder.
"Alright?" Carly basically screeches obviously surprised. But she still has a smile on her face. "If you think he's just alright, then why were you flirting with him so much?" She asks.
Sam just grins, her eyes flash an almost mischievous sparkle, and she asks, "Hey, why not? If you got it, use it, right?"
Carly laughs and I smile and shake my head.
Sam has always had this great confidence and sense of power. When she was a bit younger, she used to draw the confidence and power from harassing and picking on others, like me, or Gibby, or any other "dweeb", as she would put it. She still kind of harasses me, but it's just how our relationship is. Anyway, now that she is older, you know, more mature, she gets her confidence and power straight from knowing exactly how good she looks. It's very hot. She's just got that something about her.
Alright, so tell me what you think. I know there isn't much Seddie in this chapter, but I promise it is coming.
So, I really want to know what you think of what I did to Sam. Too OOC? I just wanted to make her a more mature version of herself. She needs to grow up sometime :)
Also, REALLY IMPORTANT, tell me about Carly! I had the most trouble with her. I don't really know how I should portray her. So let me know what you think I got right about her and what I need to change and what I can do with her for future chapters.
Sorry that it is so long, I've always had a rambling problem. So, let me know what you think of the length too. Shorter next time?
Yep, that's it. Just please REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW. Seriously, I really want to know your opinions.
Thank you, thank you! Love, LizzieLove Inc.
