Summary: Freddie is in a creative writing class and has a ten minute writing prompt about love. Freddie decides to examine his past relationships with the stars of iCarly.





	iDon't Know Anything

"Your first assignment for today," Freddie's creative writing teacher told the class one early morning as the students sat in their seats, half of the class nodding off and the other half trying to stay awake, "is a quick write about the word love. Take ten minutes to write your thoughts on the subject. Don't worry about correct spelling or grammar, or finding the right words, just write down your thoughts for ten minutes.

Freddie Benson took out his composition notebook as his peers readied themselves and as his teacher pulled up an online stop watch. The teenager chuckled softly to himself as an uncharacteristically bitter smirk played across his lips. Of course it had to be that word. Freddie was glad that Mr. Hughes didn't read his work unless he asked, and he was glad that none of his friends would bother to look through his notebook. Carly and Sam already poked fun at him for taking this class, so chances were small of them coming across this small quickwrite and reading. So why not use this opportunity to vent?

"And ready…set…write…"

_I honestly don't know if I have much place to write about love. I understand it when it comes to family and maybe even friends, but as for romantic love… I'm at a loss for words. I spent so much time telling myself and this girl that I "loved" her. I wasted years of my life fixated on her hoping she would give me the time of day. I made a complete idiot of myself over her all because I was so sure I loved her._

_Although, I did date her for a few short days after I pushed her out of the way of a truck. And then she decided she was in love with me just because I was a supposed hero to her. It didn't work, needless to say._

_I also dated another female friend of mine and somehow I decided that at the end of the relationship that I loved her. We started dating in the first place because a computer app I designed said she was in "love." With me. Of all people._

_After all I've experienced and after all those two girls in my life have experienced with other people, I have this to say: People in our age group don't know jack squat about romantic love. We confuse temporary feelings and infatuation with the real thing, but we can't say anything worth chizz._

_So I'm done with that word for now. Honestly, I'll just wait til I'm older and know a few more things before I say it to a girl. 'Cause I don't know anything about it. No one my age truly does. And I'm done with that word for now and all its confusion._

**AN: If Freddie's quickwrite seems short, it's because I wrote that bit in ten minutes under a timer for…authenticity, I guess. I found this idea intriguing and have always wondered if Freddie would ever come this conclusion.**
