Chapter 1
Madi's POV

It was time for lunch, and I was starving. I sat with my friends and started to realize how much popularity I was gaining. Lost in thought, I didn't notice my best friend, Brody Harris, sitting next to me. Our parents were friends as teens. My parents are Cat and Robbie Shapiro, and his are Jade and Andre Harris.

"Hey," Brody said, snapping me out of it.

"Oh, hi, Brody," I smiled, then turned to the others as we laughed and ate.

After lunch, a boy came up to me. I vaguely recognized him, but didn't know his name. He looked about Brody's age, maybe older.

"Madi," he hissed, "You're the youngest to join the populars, and the first girl in this group. And you know what? You got me kicked out."

"Great for you...?" I said, not knowing what I was supposed to.

"I don't see why, though. You're just fat, ugly, dull, and weird. You're so different. Different doesn't fly," he said.

"That's cool," I tried to walk past. I was thick skinned.

"Populars don't lie about others."

I tunnel sound, already past him. "What?"

"Once a popular, ALWAYS a popular. I didn't lie about you. Everyone thinks those things about you. I've met your dad. He told me he thought so, too," he snarled.

It couldn't be true. "My parents are the sweetest things-" I started.

"NERD!" he screamed, most likely because I commented on my parents.

"Look, I don't care. I could take you down any day, so just step off and get over it." I started to walk.

Suddenly, I felt my arms being clasped together behind my back. They were then pushed up and I was turned around to see the boy. I tried to elbow him down, but he held me back. This wasn't right. I was basically the strongest kid in school. He then kicked me and I tumbled to the ground, shattered. Not just physically.

He was right.
