@Passionate You make an excellent point about Jathan being in the same grade. I hadn't even thought of that. They mentioned it in interviews.

Even back then, I remember feeling really sorry for Miranda (being blatantly left out like that is something I'm all too familiar with). I even assumed that maybe she acted like a spoiled, rich brat which is why they didn't interact with her. This isn't an isolated case, though. The highly-paid protagonists of TV shows always seem to be the ones left out in the cast; as seen with Victoria, Nathalia from HOA, etc.

I find it acutely unfair that the producers actually encouraged Jathan to bond and leave Miranda out--even to the point of filming iCarly segments without her! I mean, come on, Miranda may not be as witty and charismatic as Jennette and Nathan were at the time, but she was the star of the show! It's not her fault that they thought they made the wrong call in casting her.

Anyway, the point is, Jennette is completely embellishing her friendship with Miranda; making it seem like they were "besties" from the start when virtually all the evidence says otherwise. I can only recall one time when Jennette and Miranda interacted on the on-set videos and it was from all the way back in Season 1 (they were doing that ankle shake they created for one of the episodes). And even then, they didn't seem to be clicking and bonding in any particular way. In fact, the entire thing felt very curt and awkward which is why I argue that they were only acquaintances, at best, in the beginning. xP
