iAmNot Part 1

A/N: Sam's POV

You don't know me.

For example, you think I'm upstairs doing my homework in my room. Wrong. I am Sam Puckett, I never do homework. Besides, it's not my room, it's my younger stepsister's closet. Can you believe that? Rhetta Maye is 7 years old, and her room takes up about half of our entire house! Her closets are about 1/4 of her room, meaning my 'room has just enough room for a small twin bed, a small set of drawers and a minuscule wardrobe. My desk? I use my books to keep my handwriting legible. The homework? I never have time to do it. Truth is, my friends, Freddie and Carly; they think I'm just lazy and irresponsible, that's just the story I'm suppose to feed the public to hid my true identity.

Confused? Too bad.

You see, I'd like to do the homework Miss Briggs assigns us, I really do want to be smart like Carly, but I never have time!

Why don't I have time? The man who is supposedly my 'father' always pushes housework on me, he claims Rhetta's too little and fragile to help; but if fathers are suppose to love you and make sure no one hurts you, then I'm afraid I don't know what to call this man. He married my mother 8 years ago; when I was 5. He already had a daughter from his previous marriage, and that was Rhetta Maye Harrington. Rhetta was a year old at the time, and was a good baby, until she turned 5, then she became the nosy little brat she is now. Rhetta is around 3'4" blond little ringlets, and blue eyes and a stubby little nose. Cute eh? But that's until you get to know her, she's bratty, selfish, and evil, and always lies to adults.

But enough about little miss evil, let's go back...

You don't know me. You have no power over me. What do I look like? Short? Tall? Butt-ugly? Pretty? The answer is-

It depends. I could be short one minute, but freakishly tall the next. I could look down right ugly standing next to my friend Carly, but pretty if I'm standing next to pimple-faced oily hair Jayne. Like it matters though, right? Someone once said 'Beauty is only from the visual sense, you're personality is sensed from the soul' so it doesn't matter how I look. OK? Good.

But I can tell you the things I am not.

○ I am not loved
○ I am not friendly (OK, sometimes, but not 24/7!)
○ I am never smart
○ I am not important to today's society

And lastly...

○ You don't know who I am not.

MONDAY, MATH CLASS

I look to my right, Jonah Fischer is to my right, and Fredward (I know, Fredward?) Benson to my left. I gaze at Jonah for at least five minutes before Mrs. Briggs calls on me to answer an algebra problem.

"Samantha? Do you have the answer?" Mrs.Briggs said impatiently, tapping her foot on the linoleum floor.

"No Mrs.Briggs," I answer truthfully.

"Hmmm," she says, looking at me suspiciously.

I blush and return to my work.

After class, I run into Carly Shay, my sorta friend, sorta not, and she asks me for an idea to run on our web cast; iCarly.

Carly is very pretty. She has silky dark brown hair, thick chocolate eyes. She's skinny and has a nice figure...

All the boys love Carly.

iCarly...

One more thing...

○ I am not Carly...

A/N: OK, if this is confusing, I'll try to simplify it.

1- Sam is abused by her stepfather, and her mom doesn't notice (more of that later in the story)

2- This first part of iAmNot is basically how Sam is telling people what she is not, so they won't assume what she is. The last line; I am not Carly, is basically saying how she wishes she was more like her sorta friend, sorta not, she envies her beauty, and the love her and Spencer share (not like that all you pervs!).
