Sammy Keyes

Sammy Keyes is one of a kind.
She cannot be copied exactly because she has so many differences between many fans of hers.
Sammy Keyes can only be written most amazingly buy Wendelin Van Draanen.
Many of us write our fan-fictions unrealistic, not in character, sappy, and just plain dumb.
Personality is what matters when it comes to Sammy.
Many people (fans) think a LOT about Sammy's looks, there could be a perfect Sammy in this world who looks the opposite of many of the people's imagination.
On a Sammy Keyes fan-fiction discussion page they meaning ten people described her as blond, blue eyes, tall, and you know the type of all American girl or "Californian Girl" that has all the boys fall for her.
Now this description can fit but Wendelin Van Draanen never described her except her hair.
Brown.
Sammy Keyes is also great at hiding her true feelings.
Now many of you would think that she was in denial with Casey. But any girl would be freaked if her arch enemies brother wanted to be his sisters enemies friend. I mean personally I would think it was some kind of revenge or trap and so did she. But then trust happens. And I would think this whole arch-enemies sister's brother has a crush on rival would be very unrealistic, but I didn't. Because it was the progression.
They took a step by step process.
Step 1: Taking A Risk: Sammy took a risk of being his friend. She was much slower though, but in a way I liked that. I really did because she's (I know how pathetic this will sound) a great role model.
Step 2: Befriending: In the eighth book Sammy realized Casey wouldn't leave her school life until the end of the school year.
Step 3: Realizing: In the ninth book Sammy realized that Casey does not want revenge, or anything bad like that. All he wants is a friendship.
Step 4: Trusting: Nothing new really happened in the 10th book that developed their friendship. But in the eleventh book Sammy told him about the living situation. She also gave him her number. She trusts him that he won't tell anyone about her home life.
Step 5: Liking: She started liking him in Sammy Keyes and the Wild Things. But in Cold Hard Cash she straight up said it.
Sammy has her own opinions.
Unlike most teenagers Sammy usually thinks before she acts. She is very intelligent. She listens to songs that have meanings and feelings exposed through the guitars and instruments. She has doesn't throw herself on anything she wants she just lets it kind of be until the time is right.
Again Sammy Keyes is truly AMAZING!
