First chapter of this storry! :)) I hope you enjoy it!
Carly laughs at my joke at Freddie and he just rolls his eyes.
I can't deny the rumble my stomach gives then.
"What was that?" Freddie asks, looking around the school hallway.
"My stomach you dipwad. What else?" I punch him in the arm though it wasn't needed.
I've been a bit more irritable these last couple weeks. But who can blame me? I've been reduced to about two pieces of bread a day. Stupid mom.
"Geez," was all he said, rubbing his arm and looking at me.
"Did you have breakfast?" Carly asks.
"Of course!" I lie, "Do you know me to ever miss a meal?" Mom left six weeks ago, and hasn't come back. I lived off of Carly's fridge for a while. There wasn't really much food in mine to start with, mom or no mom. But Carly sat me down and said I couldn't steal her food anymore. So now it's just after school snacks and the rare dinner at the Shay's for me. I'm fine, don't worry. I prepared myself for when they turned off the power and water by washing all my clothes and socks. But I'm fine. Trust me.
Carly and Freddie laugh as we go off into our next class.
After school we make our way to the Groovy Smoothy. I down my extra large fruit smoothy and resist the curly fries on T Bo's stick he carry's around.
"We better start on the iCarly bits for this week." Carly says.
"Oh yeah! I've got the best idea for one!" Gibby exclaims. "Though, i'll need a toothbrush, car tire, and Freddie's laptop." he says, looking at Freddie.
"Gibby..." Freddie starts.
"Come on! You have a million of them!" Gibby whines.
"Guys, we'll talk about it later. Let's get out of here, i've got homework." I sling my backpack over my shoulder and stand up, spinning around to face the gang. They're all looking at me wide eyed.
"Sam? Did you just say you had homework?" Carly asks, breaking her trance.
"Yeah..."
"As in, you're planning on doing your homework?" Freddie asks.
"Uhh, yeah. Let's go..." I motion to the door.
They all shake their heads, even Gibby looks shocked. But they soon agree, getting up out of their seats and heading for the door with me.
Homework was stupid, but at least I felt accomplished. Not that I was going to make it a habit or anything. I just felt like giving those teachers a glimmer of hope for me, they treat me a little nicer when this happens.
Now i'm just laying here on Carly's bed, with no energy due to the lack of food i've digested all day. Freddie and Carly are talking about some iCarly bits they had in mind and I'm just acting like i'm asleep, resting my hands on my stomach. I'm not sure you can call it a stomach anymore though. It's gotten so small even my smallest pants are hanging on me.
Six weeks ago was when my mom left. For the first week I didn't even think anything of it. She usually left randomly without saying anything. But at the longest, it was a week or two. The thing that confirmed she was really gone was when I was bored one night, and went into her room. I stepped in and it was empty. Her dresser was cleared of her clothes and the bathroom was empty. I didn't find any money under the mattress that she left, nor was there a note.
These last couple days have been the hardest on me than any others. I'm getting more clutsy when it comes to stealing from Carly's fridge, so I didn't even get one piece of bread from her fridge today. The second I opened the door she gave me a look and I shut it. I know that if I just told her my mom's not around anymore she would let me eat, maybe even take me in. But she would probably also alert the authorities and they would take me away and put me in some homeless shelter. And that can't happen.
"Sam?" Freddie asks, pushing my shoulder, taking me out of my daze.
"Huh?" I mumble.
"What do you think about putting Gibby in a dress, and seeing how many dogs he can kiss in a minute?"
"For an iCarly bit?" I'm a little out of it as you can tell.
Carly laughs, "No! For fun. Yes for a bit!"
"Uhh, sure." I say, sitting up. As I do this, I get a weird feeling in my stomach, like i'm going to throw up.
"You ok Sam?" she asks, cocking her head and skwinting her eyes.
"Yeah, i'm fine. Just tired." I flip my hair out of my eyes and the feeling I have in my stomach goes straight to my head. The room starts to spin a bit.
"Then you should go home. I'll see you tomorow."
"Ok..." I say, loosing it fast. I stall, adjusting my shirt, hoping to get my whole self back. Everything is spinning as I stand up. I loose power in my kneck and I head drops. I squint and take in a breath as my legs finally give out and I fall to my knees.
"Sam!" Carly shouts. That's the last thing I hear before my head hit's the soft carpet and the world goes black.
So, that's it. Please review for me! I like to hear what you guys think. :)
Thank you!
