ProfNigma Stories #9: Learning Curves #9iCarly/Victorious: Learning Curves #9 ? Chapter 9November 133:12pmUCLAOutside Elkins HallTry as she might, Sam Puckett could not catch up to the speeding Latina, who seemed to brush past the groups with such relative ease it was al-most depressing. Speaking of depressing, while her clothes may have been on, the former iCarly sidekick was a complete dishevelled mess and got stare after awkward stare from the moving students.Finally, once she had broken from the crowd, Sam was able to run to the now slowed down Tori, and scared the brunette as she grabbed her shoulder."Stop? Tori?" she wheezed, trying to catch her breath, her throat still very sore from what Adams had f*rced her into under that desk. "Please? It wasn't-""Look, Sam? you seem nice and all, but you don't need to explain yourself to me? just leave me alone so I can go burn my eyes out.""I know? it?s disgusting? but, it was the only way? the only way I could stay in school.""Somehow that just makes it more disgusting? why would that keep you here?" Tori asked, spinning around finally and looking into Sam's bloodshot eyes."Because Freddie got me in here, and Adams figured out that not only was I dumb? but also that I didn't write my admissions essay." Sam breathed a deep sigh and looked away from Tori's judging face. "Freddie wrote it, and so if Adams reports that, I will get kicked out, so he suggested we work something out.""So you whored yourself out for grades?" Tori asked incredulously, trying to shake the strange feeling she felt at the mere mention of Freddie's name. "Is that what you wanted to talk to me about the other day? This?""Actually?" Sam took another deep sigh, knowing that this conversation was going to get even more awkward. "I wanted to ask you about a guy? but I'm actually relieved that someone else knows for sure. The others have tried to help, but the school won't deal with just what my friends tell them and every time it does get brought up, Adams just makes it that much worse for me. I'm just tired of feeling so cheap and dirty and I just want the semester to end so I can drop out and disappear."While Sam had some more stuff after mentioning 'a guy', Tori's brain went into a frenzy at what it could possibly be. From what Jade had told her, Sam was crazy possessive of Freddie and if the aggressive blonde knew that she was now with Freddie too, then the fit Latina could be hurt? in more ways than one. Eventually, her need to help won out over her fears."I'm so sorry, Sam? but I really don't know what to tell you. I would report it, but that might cause even more trouble, you know? But you have to put an end to this? if for no other reason, so you can keep your dignity.""Yeah? I don't think dignity is even in the realm of possibilities for me, Tori.""Maybe? but let me help you write the paper for next week? not write it for you, but help you, and if you make some good grades, maybe you won't have to deal with him so much."Sam thought immediately that this was a stupid idea, but for some reason, just like Carly would do for her hare-brained schemes, she agreed to the plan. "I guess? but it's due in like a week, and I haven't even started.""That's cool? we can work on it this weekend," Tori said happily, wondering how this would work with her schedule with Jade and Freddie. The idea that her loves might be together without her made her feel a little uneasy, but her good heart won out, as she walked with Sam back to the dorms, focused on helping her with her issue.***November 207:41pmTaco Bueno"So? how do you feel now that it's done?"Sam stared across the table at her new friend, and just glared, not wanting to be bitchy, but the mere thought of that class made her stomach turn. And with a belly full of Mexican food, that was going to end in disaster. "I don't know, Tor. I'd rather not think about it.""That's fair..." Tori trailed off, staring at the near empty plate before her. "Look, I've kinda avoided the subject while we've been working together, but I guess we should talk about what you wanted to ask me to begin with.""What?""You wanted to talk about a guy? Freddie, I'm assuming.""No," Sam said coldly, making it very clear that the subject was about as off limits as it could get. "Never mind that.""No?" Tori pleaded, reaching across the table to touch Sam's hands, which flinched but didn't pull away from the touch. "Tell me? no judgment. I promise."Sam sighed, signalling that she had given up fighting for the subject disappearing, and looked at Tori, looking like a sad puppy for a moment. "I met a guy you know pretty well at Halloween? Nate? and I don't know much about him and I wanted to kinda pump you for info."Tori mentally breathed a sigh of relief that this was about something other than her illicit tryst with Freddie and Jade. Being in the couple was awkward at first but now that they had gotten used to one another, it was nothing for the three to share a bed, and to just cuddle and make love with all their free time, which was dwindling sadly, as more and more papers and tests needed doing. In fact, just that morning, since Freddie had been so tired and busy with work, Tori decided to treat Ankara escort him to a wake-up blowjob. It was weird to think about, but that's just the way that things worked for the three of them."Nate? is a? well, he's a good guy."Sam cocked her head, giving a weird look as if to question what Tori was holding back. "Go on?""I mean, if you met him, you know how good looking he is. He is just? gorgeous, and he's strong and about as sweet and caring as a guy can be." For a moment, Tori began to think about the similarities between Freddie and Nate. Her mind began to wonder that if Freddie's restraint was the key to how amazing he was in bed, what Nate would have been like."So if he's so perfect? why did you guys break up?"The question resonated and almost felt like it would make her head explode. "I? uh? well? he broke up with me. But it was also kinda mutual. We just didn't really feel the same way about each other. It started out as a rebound from Beck? but then he got a lot deeper into things than I did. Plus? there were other intimidating factors.""Intimidating factors? C'mon Tori? I really don't want to deal with vague comments.""Fine," Tori sighed, rolling her eyes. "But if I tell you this, you cannot tell another person? ok?""Cross my heart," Sam said as she did the swearing motion."Ok? I could never really be? intimate," she whispered the last word, as if it made it somehow better, "? with him. He has this whole saving himself until marriage or at least someone who loves him the way he loves her.""So he's a virgin?""Yeah?" Tori said, nodding, somewhat ashamed that she spilled his secret. "I always felt kinda bad because I wanted sex and until I could prove that I loved him the way he loved me, which I could never do, he wouldn't. Plus, the fact that I wasn't one, I think, hurt him a lot. It's why he and Beck don't get along.""All the more reason I like him. Beck is an asshole.""Yeah? I remember you guys didn't end on the best of terms last summer.""That's certainly one way to say it?" Sam muttered, before returning to the point. "But I don't get why you felt so bad? you were like in love with Beck, right?""Yeah? and maybe that's the thing. I could love Beck, but I could never really love Nate, and I think that's what drove the wedge between us. But maybe you'll have better luck.""I doubt it. If he had trouble who had sex with the one guy she fell for, I don't think he's going to date the slut who banged the guy she's still in love with, her best friend's br*ther-""Hey, that's a song of mine."Sam just shot her a glare and continued the list "Then some random asshole she just met at a camp and then a dirty old man she fucked for grades. And that's just the guys.""I won't ask," Tori said, slowly nodding her head. "If it makes you feel better, I'm not that innocent either. I've been with a couple girls, and? two other guys besides Beck.""Oh yeah? sorry? I heard about that dick at the frat? he got what was coming to him though.""Yeah?" Tori prayed that she wouldn't ask who the other guy was, but it sadly did no good."So? who is number three? Anyone I know?" Sam was actually smiling a bit, for the first time in what seemed like forever."Uh? I mean? I don't think it's anybody's business, Sam.""Tori, you caught me with a dude's dick in my mouth? I think we're passed the point of subtlety.""If I tell you, you can't freak out? or tell anyone." Tori's heart was beating even faster than it was the last time she thought about Freddie, knowing Sam could murder her in this moment."Deal.""It's Freddie.""OF FUCKIN' COURSE IT IS!" Sam shouted, slamming her hand on the table as she stood up."You promised not to freak out, Sam!" Tori screeched, afraid they were making a scene.Sam huffed and puffed and sneered down at the cowering Latina before taking a few deep breaths and taking her seat back."I'm sorry? I didn't mean to get you upset, Sam.""Well, you did? I should have known it was Freddie. I don't know a girl around that he hasn't slept with.""It wasn't intentional. I was very close with Jade and Freddie ended up joining us, and it just sorta happened.""I know how that can go?" Sam thought back to all the times that had happened with her and Freddie and someone else, knowing sometimes things just happen. "At least he's a really good guy. Probably needed that one night that get the other two assholes out of your system."Tori started to correct Sam, but realized telling her that this was a continuous thing might make things even worse for their budding friendship. "Yeah? he's really sweet, and so is Jade when she wants to be.""Wouldn't know," Sam lied, thinking back to the night where Gibby spiked their food and she and Jade hooked up. "So? are you and Nate still friends, or what?""More like 'or what.' Whenever we see each other or have to interact as friends, I can just see how much it hurts, you know?" Tori sighed, knowing she had broken a really nice guy's heart. "Like if we tried to be friends, the fact that that's all we can be would just drive him nuts? so we just don't talk much.""Bummer?" Sam said, taking a sip of her drink, finding herself very thirsty all of a sudden. "That's kinda how Ankara escort bayan it is with me and Freddie? we can be friends and do stuff together but if I get to thinking or feeling something again? it?s just a stabbing pain of sadness, and I just have to leave.""I'm sorry, Sam. I know he does love you though. Deep down. I think he misses having someone like you around. Even if it's just as a friend.""See, I get that," Sam said, shaking her head. "But I don't feel the same way. For me, it's just him and me, and that's how we should be- no one else involved.""Sam?" Tori began but she was shushed."Just let me have the thought, Vega. Just let me have this moment."And just like that, an obvious thought hit Sam like a ton of bricks: She needed to see Freddie.* * *November 222:03 pmUCLA- Elkins HallRoom 232By the time she and Tori reached Adams' classroom, Sam was just starting to have enough feeling in her arms. Lunch was incredibly crowded and the six of them, Noelle, Cat, Jade, Freddie, Tori, and Sam, had to cram into a four person table. It would have been eight if Robbie or Beck had come, but both gave excuses on why they couldn't make it.The topic on most everyone's mouth was that of the upcoming Thanksgiving holidays. It came as no surprise to anyone that Jade and Freddie were going to stay with Tori, which Sam would have liked to get in on, if for no other reason than to keep an eye on Freddie, but since Cat and Noelle had invited her to stay with them at Cat's grandmother's house for the holidays, Sam felt she should stick with her lesbian roommates.As Sam sat in her seat, waiting for class to begin, she peered over at Tori who gave her a thumbs up, and smiled. Sam had to give the girl her due, she had a gorgeous smile that really did brighten spirits around her. Of course, Sam would never admit to such a thing though.Adams slowly made his way through the class passing back the papers they had turned in during the last class, and as he reached Sam, he handed her a folded up copy while most other students got a straight copy, including Tori.The Latina flashed a smile and quickly showed her paper's red grade: A, but the smile disappeared as Sam showed off her red D-.Tori mouthed a 'What?? while looking confused. For the brunette, she figured Sam would at least get a B if she got an A. She helped the blonde write, edit, and everything else with the paper.Luckily, Adams let everyone out as soon as they had their papers back, giving a reading assignment for Monday. The classroom dispersed and Tori approached Sam to talk, but Sam just waved her on."I gotta talk to him about this shit," she muttered, heading towards the front of the class where Adams was gathering his belongings."Oh, Miss Puckett. I was just thinking that I had forgotten something. I'm having some guests over for Thanksgiving, and I thought-""Let me guess? I'd be your date?" Sam said, crossing her arms"Oh, hahaha" he laughed in her face. "That's actually hilarious. No? I need someone to serve the food and more importantly, the guests.""Fuck that," Sam said. "And what's with this fuckin' bullshit for the grade here?""A D is still passing, in case you forgot how this works, Samantha. I promised I'd pass you. I never said it would be A's.""I get that? but I worked super hard on this and worked with a couple other people on the paper?""Did you? Wow?" he said, making a very facetious glare as he looked her paper over. "I got so used to just slapping a D on your papers? I would change your grade, but you did such a piss poor job in my office the other day, I don't think I will."Sam was absolutely stunned. She never imagined that he would be this cruel when she had done everything he asked. "That's not fair, though. We had a deal. I was doing all this stuff so I wouldn't have to do the work. To do it and still have to deal with your pervert bullshit is just not right."Sam hoped that if she started the tears and the waterworks, he might cave, but he ended up just laughing at her and putting his hand on her shoulder."Look, I've fucked hotter and smarter girls than you, and I will continue to. Don't think you have any power here. You are just a piece of ass for me to pound for a semester and probably longer. Don't bother complaining or whining because you have no proof and even if you did, I have tenure. We have an arrangement, and so you can either fuck me for your grade like the stupid slut you are? or I can fuck your grade and get you kicked out of here. Your call."Sam's mouth just dropped, and she wanted to punch him so hard he'd fly out the nearby window, but she took a breath and just smiled. And that's when she produced the nuclear weapon that Freddie had provided: a tape recorder.She never imagined that she would actually get the chance to truly use it, but when she realized that Adams was going to be an enormous dick about everything. All the torture and subjugation that she had gone through over the last couple months was made up for in an instant as she saw Adams' face contort in pure anger, losing his temper for truly the first time in front of Sam."You conniving little cunt? give me that!""Well, sure," she said Escort Ankara sarcastically, "Since you asked like that.""I said to give it here, Samantha. You do not understand what that could do to me.""No, fuck face? I do. And that's why I'm walking out of here Scott free. I have a friend waiting in the hallway and if you so much as touch me, I will scream. And then we will see what happens to you."Adams leered but then took a breath and he quickly gained his composure, fixing his hair as quickly and neatly as possible."Very well, Miss Puckett. What is it that you want in exchange for the tape?""An A in the course would be a good start.""Done," he said so quickly, that it could have made Sam's head spin."How can I trust you, dude? I'm going to need proof that you can make what I want happen, and then, I will give you your tape back.""Yeah? sure? whatever it takes? I will let you know when I've set everything up for you."Sam turned, grinning and headed for the door, knowing that her hell was finally over."Sam! Look out!"Sam turned around just in time to see Adams swing his golf club at her head, missing by a hair as she dodged the shot. Angry that his shot missed, he swung back up and hit Sam in the stomach almost as hard as the last swing. He would have hit again if someone hadn't jumped on his back. The swaying brown hair that was now tangled in his face made it pretty clear who it was."This is not your concern, Miss Vega. Samantha here needs to learn her lesson?"A strong elbow to her shoulder knocked Tori backwards, falling over a couple desks as Sam charged the distracted Adams into the marker board.Tori quickly dialled for help, and tried to stand, but her ankle was twisted so she couldn't do much of anything.Sam and Adams spent the next couple minutes pushing one another, wrestling for the club, doing everything they could and just when he got close enough to grab the recorder from Sam, she smashed the handle of the club into his crotch. The ultimate cheap shot.Using the opportunity to get away, Sam put some distance between her and the mad professor. He, likewise, decided to step it up, using both hands on the club to put Tori into a hold, and slowly began to walk towards Sam."Give me that tape recorder and I will not hurt her. I'll even give you the same deal for an A. Just give me the tape so we can all just walk away without any injuries.""Little late for that!"Adams had no time to react as the class door was smashed open and an average looking brown haired teen raced at him and the next moment was like an absolute blur. First he kicked the back of Adams' leg, forcing him down and to let go of Tori, and as he was using his other leg to resist going down, the guy grabbed Adams' head and smashed it into the nearest desk."Holy shit-balls, Freddie?" Sam said, panting. "That was like some Batman level shit?"Tori was just speechless as she ran to Freddie for him to hold her. Apparently when she called him, he had called Campus PD because two officers were right in the doorway, preparing the cuffs.Adams was barely conscious, as the larger cop cuffed and led the disgraced professor out the door as the other cop took note of the scene, getting a bag for the golf club, giving the three teens some space.As he held Tori close, Freddie looked to Sam, who had definitely seen some better days. Opening his arm up, he motioned for her to come closer and to join the hug. As the blonde resumed her spot in what she always regarded as the perfect situation, she smiled, and for a few fleeting moments, everything seemed like it might be ok.* * *November 252:00 pmUCLA- Elkins HallRoom 232"Now I think some of you know me, but for those that don't my name is Professor Rydell. I teach British Lit here and I was a close personal friend of Perry's before his? dismissal."Sam and Tori looked ahead at their new teacher who was taking Adams' place for the foreseeable future. The school had put him on paid leave pending an investigation, but in the court of public opinion, he was being highly regarded as innocent. The two girls on the other hand, were now seen as pariahs that had lied and attacked the 'poor' charismatic professor. And that's when things got worse as Sam's affair and the reasoning behind it had been revealed.If Sam wasn't hated by the girls in the class before, she certainly was at that point, the stories about her and Adams and their showdown spreading like wildfire and by Monday, it was all the school could talk about. Her dorm room she shared with Cat and Noelle had been vandalized time and time again, and there were even rumours that she was a lesbian like the two of them.If there was one silver lining to this whole situation, it was Tori. The two girls had become fast friends and their frightening experience had pushed them much closer together. And then there was Freddie. While things weren't perfect with him? now, things seemed pretty simplistic and nice and they agreed to work on their friendship so that they could truly be like they used to be."The point is?" Rydell droned on, "I will essentially be babysitting you guys for the next couple weeks. Then you are no longer my responsibility. Believe me, I won't enjoy this anymore than you will, but that's just the way it goes."Freddie had mentioned how cool Rydell was, but so far the former iCarly star was less than impressed with the 'hip' teacher. In fact, Sam was pretty sure that after this semester, she was going to be done with the whole college thing for good.
