In every high school, there are those ever-present popular girls. The girls that turned heads, broke hearts, and left a trail of jealous tears everywhere they went. They were high school royalty.

I was not that girl. I was no where near that girl. If they were the North Pole, I would be the South. If they were black, I would be white. If they were a freaking rainbow, then I am goddamn monochrome. It can't be helped. I am the ever-so-plain Clare Edwards, and I attend Degrassi Community High School.

There are three prominent queen bees at Degrassi. Katie Matlin, Marisol Lewis, and the worst, Jenna Middleton. The three ruled the school with a perfectly manicured iron fist. Even though they were feared, everyone hated them, admired them, and wanted to be them. It was just a big, fat, contradiction. But what's weird is high school is just that; a big fat contradiction.

Truth be told, Katie and Marisol were just little cronies. No one could really compare to the head bitch known as Jenna Middleton. With a tiny waist, pretty face, and a black hole where her heart should be, she was content with being Degrassi's tyrant.

I honestly think the saddest part of this ordeal is that we were once actually really great friends. When she moved here two years ago, she was just another girl. My best friend Alli and I took her under our wing and grew we grew closer than you could ever imagine. Sleepovers, movie nights, trips to the mall, the whole shebang. Our friendship started to crumble when Jenna joined the power squad and I got my first boyfriend. His name was K.C. Guthrie. He was smart, edgy, and really cute. He also liked cute, cheerleading blonde girls, apparently. I caught them making out at Alli's birthday party. From then on started Jenna's road to Degrassi dictatorship, my ex-boyfriend by her side.

The last thing I would ever want to be is one those girls. Never will I ever trade in my textbooks for makeup and pom-poms. At least, that's what I thought.

First story! A little wordy, I know. Please review and give me constructive criticism!
