My name is Carly Shay...creator of iCarly. And (pardon the pun) iKnow.
I have two best friends in the whole wide world...Sam and Freddie. She calls him Fredward. He hates it. He hates her. And, up until recently, she hated him. Or so we all thought.

It was Spencer who figured it out. After iCarly rehearalls, my brother made spaghetti tacos and we all ate dinner together. Then, Ms. Benson (Freddie's insainely over-protective mother) came in, grabbed him by the ear, and drug him into their apartment across the hall for a tick bath. After that, Sam (remember, we just had dinner) went down the street for deli meat.
"Oh my god oh my god ohmygod!!!" Spencer yelled, jumping up and down, and pointing towards the door.
"What?'" I laughed. Spencer can get excited over everything.
"They KISSED! Sam and Freddie kissed!"
"No," I said, shaking my head, "That's impossible."
"It's true! I feel it in my socks."
Of course, knowing my friends, I brushed it off as one of Spencer's silly theories. But the next day at school, things changed. I was walking towards my locker, about to turn the corner into the hall, when I heard something. It was Sam's voice. That's odd, I thought. Sam is never early for school.
"I thought we agreed to keep this a secret, Benson."
I heard Freddie's voice next. "I don't want anyone to know either. But it is eating me alive!"
"Oh, so you're ashamed of kissing me?" There was a bit of hurt in Sam's voice.
"No! I thought you...we agreed...you just said! What are we going to do?"
By this time, I was watching through a little hole in the wall. Sam said nothing, and just stood there, giving him the "I'm going to kill you" look that she was so good at. Then, she made a sudden movement. I expected to see Freddie on the floor with a broken nose--I even braced myself for the bang. But it never came. Instead, she kissed him, right on the lips.
"End of discussion, Fredward."
"But that wasn't even..." Freddie said. But she had already stormed off. He gave a sigh, and then a small, barely there smile appeared on his face.
