The Plan
Fedora remembered, back in elementary when she and Harriette were unpopular together. They were both losers. They could hang out together in school, before Harriette became obsessed with popularity.
To be honest Fedora gave Harriette her popularity. Fedora thought she was going to move to NYC with her fathers so she wanted Harriette to be happy when she left so she thought of the big plan, the plan that changed everything.
They would have a fake fight, make everyone believe that Harriette didn’t like Fedora anymore. It worked a little to well.
Harriette immediately started hanging out with the populars at the time, Sacia, Surprise, Chrisselle and Greggory. And they, of course, accepted her into the clique, she was cute and totally popular material.
But the Fedora figured out she didn’t have to move, but Harriette kept with the plan. She always wanted to be popular and now she was, why would she give it up. Fedora hated it, Harriette just got more like the other Populars.
Ever since then it was predicted that she would take over the populars and she did. It wasn’t slow at all either, it just seemed like one day Sacia, Sonrisa, Chriss and Greggory were popular and the next, they were not. Nobody really knows what happened, except maybe the old Populars, but why would they tell everyone how they got kicked out?
Only some people know that Harriette and Fedora are still friends. Tamarai knew and Fedora’s friends knew. Other then that everyone thought they hated each other. She didn’t know where it turned into hate, because at the start they just weren’t friends any more. but you know high school, rumours spread faster then a wild fire.

Lexi and the Cheerleaders
Lexi Bell thought she was popular, but in truth she was only friend with the cheerleaders because, she was a cheerleader. She realised this the first day after winter break. All of the Cheerleaders were talking about what they did during spring break. Lexi realised, that they had all done something together, without her.
Knowing this made Lexi feel out of it. Like a third wheel, except there were a lot more then three people. Lexi realised she was not close friends with anyone, well other then her cousin who went to a all girls private school across town. But even with her cousin, her cousin had more friends form the private school. Lexi thought she had friends too, up until then.
So, she made the decision to try to be more close with the cheerleaders, so she could also be part of the clique.
Ever since then, she tried and tried, but honestly the cheerleaders were pretty dull. In her opinion at least. Sure, they did a lot of fun stuff, like shopping, Lexi loved shopping, and going to parties and stuff, who doesn’t like a party? But all they talked about were boys, makeup, and popularity. Sure, Lexi like boys, makeup and popularity, but she didn’t really like talking about them all the time.
Eventually she learned how to block out all of that. She would sit with them at lunch and laugh when they laughed or look interested when they looked interested.
Lexi wondered if this was how her whole life would be spent, trying to fit in and make friends. It’s not like she was obsessed with it or anything, she just didn’t want to be outside of the circle, she felt like she belonged there. Because she was a cheerleader. And she really didn’t want to be alone, so faking it was better for now. She was sure one day she would make real friends, she had to right?

Sacia’s Ranting.
Fedora was sitting at lunch listening to another one Sacias rants about how she should be popular and not the ditzy cheerleaders. AeGuk looked super bored and Bryan was trying to look interested, but failing.
“I mean, I’m sure they don’t even know what two plus two is.” Sacia said.
“Neither do you.” Fedora said.
Sacia rolled her eyes.
Fedora shrugged, “Don’t try to deny it.”
“But that’s not the point,” Sacia said, changing the subject. “I should be popular. Instead I’m sitting at the major dweebs table, with you.”
“Thanks a lot.” Fedora said, sarcastically.
But Fedora was used to this, Sacia always dissed them. With no real back u either, since she could always move to Chriss and Gregg’s table.
“It’s true though.” Sacia said, shrugging. “Everyone knows, we are dweebs, we are worse then Terrence and Bary, the nerds.”
“So what, I don’t care. I like our table.” Fedora said, to her it didn’t matter what they were called as long as she was happy.
“You do.” Sacia said. “I don’t.”
“Then why don’t you sit with Chrisselle and Gregg, your old friends” Fedora said.
“You know, Chrisselle is just another example of what is wrong with this social system.” Sacia said, ignoring Fedora. “She is a cheerleader, but she isn’t popular because she hangs out with Gregg. Seriously why do we have to be judged by who we hang out with.”
“That’s life.” Fedora said, shrugging.
“It’s shouldn’t be.” Sacias said.
“But it is!” Fedora said, annoyed. “We just have to deal with it. After we graduate, we can escape this and move on. But for now, it’s only high school.”
“Only high school? Me and Sonrisa used to dream about having the best high school ever, when we were popular. Now here it is the wonderful high school and I’m not popular and Sonrisa isn’t even here.”
“Will you please calm down.” Fedora said. Sonrisa was Sacia’s best friend who moved away a two years ago.
“Whatever.” Sacia said.
“Let’s go get ice cream after school.” Fedora said, trying to change the subject. “I seriously need some, ever since my mom banned it from the house, because I kept sneaking some.”
“So? Stop sneaking some.” Sacia said. “Stop eating so much, then you’ll get it back.”
“But I like eating.” Fedora said.
“You know what I don’t get, how people can be happy that they’re unhealthy. It’s not something to be happy about.” Sacia said.
“Shut up.” Fedora said, she hated talking about her what she ate, it just made her mad. “I don’t care what you think, all you ever do is rant.”
“Um, lets not fight.” Bryan said.
“Whatever, I don’t have the energy anyway.” Fedora said.
“See, you don’t have any energy.” Sacia said, shrugging.
“I do, I just don’t want to waste it on you.” Fedora said.
“Whatever.” Sacia said, getting up. “I’m going.”
“Bye.” Fedora said, waving.
“See you later.” Bryan said.
“If she ever goes on another rant, I’m leaving.” Fedora said.
“I understand.” AeGuk said, sympathetically.
“It’s not that bad.” Bryan said.
“Oh come on, she’s gone. Don’t pretend you actually care.” Fedora said.
“I do.” Bryan said.
“Whatever.” Fedora said rolling her eyes.
