Chapter 1: iJennette BBZZZZ BBZZZ CRASH It's like a reflex, my hand crushes the alarm clock by my bedside table as the deafening buzz burst my ear drums. The small clock that once read 7:00, now a crumbled mess of wires and plastic thrown across my room, putting my ears at peace, until another noise attempts to wake me.
"JENNETTE MARISSA BENSON, BREAKFAST IS READY!"
My dad always wakes me up way too early, he is so paranoid that I am not going to make it to school on time. "WHAT ARE WE HAVING?!"
"BOLIVIAN BACON!"
At the sound of bacon, especially Bolivian bacon, my eyes shoot open as my dark blue orbs adjust to the light and my body races down the stairs to a bowl of porridge at my seat.
"Morning Jennette, nice to see you up this morning. Ready for your first day of school?""First day back at school and no. Where's th-" At that exact moment a flash of blonde curls races past my vision to sit at the seat beside me.
"Where's the bacon?!" "There is none, Dad tricked us and made…porridge," My face disgusted as I pick up the spoon covered in a mush of oats, bringing it to my mouth before I quickly decline. "I can't it's too healthy for a Monday morning!"
"Benson. You. Never. Tease. Mama." Mum grabs dad by the collar and pushes him against the fridge, a fork raised in hand. My dad smirked at her and looked into her eyes with eyebrows raised.
"I know that's why I cooked you bacon!"
"What?! Where's my bacon?"
"You don't get any until you are dressed and ready for school."
"Fine, but you may need to get me a new alarm clock, I kinda broke it."
"Again, Jen that's the sixth one this month!"
"We'll then don't set it for 7:00, Lil' Mama needs her sleep." I smirked. Dad just sighed and walked into the lounge room in defeat, my mum followed close behind, she glanced my way, her light blue orbs matching my dark ones. "Nice going, but get ready for school!" S
he made her way to the couch resting her head on Dad's lap and continued to eat her bacon. "Why? You hated school, why do I have to go!" "Yeah, Rissi I know Ridgeway sucks but you actually get good grades and besides it's not all bad…that's where I met your dad." Mum doesn't like to call me Jennette, so she came up with a nickname Rissi, from my middle name Marissa, it's the only one I actually like except my dad's pet name for me as his little Marie Bar (whatever that means) and the name everyone calls me, Jen. Mum raised her head to my dad's lips as they began to make out. "
Eww," They stopped and turned to me. "The only reason I'm smart is because I'm half Benson, the rest is all Puckett."
"Whatever, you're still going to school." She returned to her recent activity of kissing my dad.
"YOU TWO ARE DISGUSTING!" I shouted but they still continued to ignore me, so I took advantage of the situation and stole a piece of bacon from my mother's lap before bolting up the stairs.
"JENNETTE, GET BACK HERE!" I ran into my room and locked the door behind me, it wouldn't be long until my mum would find a way to break into my security lock I built on my wall.
I may not pay attention in school but I'm not dumb, my mums not either she's just not techy smart like me and dad. Apparently Dad was real smart back in school and mum used to tease him for being too much of a nub. She met him through her best friend, my aunty, Carly Shay, they were next door neighbours and then supposedly they kissed and then they became fremenies and then they ended up falling in love with each other…eww. Yeah, my parents are Sam Puckett and Freddie Benson, the famous couple of iCarly, their old popular web show. They got married after college when they found out that mum was pregnant with me, I was an accident (but they say that they love me more than anything), my mum even sometimes calls me Opps, sometimes. Dad says I'm just like my mum, minus the blonde hair and the fact that I have a smart techy brain. I have a bad tomboy attitude, hate anything girly, can defend myself in a fight (I can almost beat my mum) and most importantly I love my food.
After showering and getting changed into my shorts, converse and favourite Penny Tee, that says Special Ham (my dad gave it to me for my 14th birthday), I grab my black and red checked bag and head down the stairs."RISSI, YOU STOLE MAMA'S BACON!" Dad grabbed my mums arm as she looked at me in the eyes, glazed with fire and anger. "Sam, not today ok?"
"LET GO OF ME, BENSON!" She struggled against my dad's strong grip.
"Come on, come and get me!" I smirked as she broke free and ran towards me arms ready to pounce. She grabbed me and pinned me to the ground her hair flowing around her cheeks, I thought of the only thing I could do and grabbed her hair, yanking it hard and then we began to wrestle each other to the ground. It was something we always did, we always found something to fight about, my poor dad had to attempt to try and pry ourselves away from each other. We continued wrestle around on the ground as soon as the doorbell rang, we broke away from each other and stared into each other's eyes.
"Saved by the bell, next time I'll get cha!" She made her way to the kitchen to find something else to eat.
"Sure, I almost got you that time, I'm not 12 anymore!"
"We'll see about that!" We continued to argue as my dad answered the door and a young brown haired girl walked in wearing a purple dress with matching boots and a green backpack. "They at it again?" I could hear her in the background talking to my dad. "What was it this time?" Mum and I stopped arguing and turned to look into the girls dark green eyes. "She stole my bacon!" "I did because you were to bus-" "STOP IT!" Her loud shriek filled the room and then there was silence. "Thank you, now come on Jen we will be late for school." "OK,"
The girl was my best friend, Katie Gibson, her father was friends with my parents, his name is Gibby Gibson. For some reason Katie is always able to break up a fight between me and my mum, I guess it's a gift or something. Dad says she reminds him of my Aunty Carly when she was little, always able to break up fights between him and my mum.
"I'll be dropping by the Groovy Smoothie after school so I won't be home for a while, ok?"
"Yeah ok, but Rissi?"
"Yeah"
"Get me two large Blueberry Blitz, ok, Benson give her some money!" Dad handed me a 50 dollar bill and kissed me on the forehead, before saying goodbye.
"Thanks see ya later."
Katie and I walked down the street and into the halls of Ridgeway High School, greeted by the unpleasant wail of Ms Briggs, the worst teacher in history, apparently she was even my mum and dads least favourite teacher when they were here. "JENNETTE BENSON, PRINCIPALS OFFICE NOW!" Just another typical day at Ridgeway.
