Hey! Belated Merry Christmas to you all! Sorry for my long absence, but the 503 sever was unavailable, so I couldn't access my account.

I know, this chapter is kind of sad...

Anyway, hope you enjoy this chapter.

Becca's P.O.V.

I remember the days when I used to feel so superior to everyone around me. Back in 5th and 6th grade. Those days were long gone.

I used to think that I was absolutely beautiful.

Even now, Megan assures me that I look really pretty, and my mother tells me that I have pretty eyes.

But I look in the mirror and see a normal girl. No unique character to make me feel beautiful.

I used to make fun of Cassidy Sloane.

But now, she has the sleek, silky, dark red hair and bright, silvery eyes. She has the nice figure and the fun personality.

I don't.

I used to tease Emma Hawthorne.

But she has the cute curly hair and chocolate brown eyes. She has the talent. She has the book that she published herself.

I don't.

I used to make Jess Delaney's life miserable.

But now, she has the thick, amazing hair and clear blue eyes and obvious talent.

I don't.

I never made fun of Megan...

... but she's just as amazing as the other 3 of my friends are.

I used to think that all the boys liked me.

Now it's Cassidy that all the boys chase after. It is also Cassidy who has the classic romantic love story with the British Boy.

Boy meets girl. Boy likes girl. Boy doesn't know how to show it. So Boy acts rude.

Therefore, Girl hates boy.

Boy and Girl are brought together by a person who recognizes the same talents in different fields.

The person passed away. Girl and Boy get closer.

Boy gets in trouble. Girl steps in to help him.

They confess to each other at a grand party or Regency Ball or whatever.

They fall in love, and keep it over 3000 kilometers away.

Emma and my brother had the classic Romeo and Juliet story.

Simple, really.

Boy and Girl fall in love. They are kept away by families that (used to) hate each other. Eventually, they get their own way.

Jess and Darcy's story was simple, too. Girl and Boy have liked each other since forever. They finally confess. And they live happily ever after.

Megan and Simon's story was just the one line: "Boy meets girl. They fall in love."

But what about me? I haven't even got a story!

I used to think that I was the most talented.

I thought Cassidy only played a stupid ice sport.

Now, I watch her play the sport. And teach the sport.

And I watch her figure skate so amazingly that it takes my breath away. That girl can dance. And on ice, too. With a gorgeous guy by the name of Tristan Berkeley.

I one called Emma 'Porky the Poet'.

She's the one with her own published book.

I used to call Jess 'Goat Girl'.

She rides, she's in MadriGals, she rehabilitated animals, she got scholarship into Colonial Academy.

And Megan.

The fashion designer. The blogger

I don't have much to say about myself, though.

I used to think that I was caring on the inside.

But I watched Cassidy burst into tears when her mother was having Chloe.

I watched Jess sob when Emma moved.

I watched Emma cry herself to sleep when Mrs. Bergson passed away.

I watched Megan accept her Mom's wish to be Mayor, and forgive and apologize to Sophie Fairfax.

And I decide that I would never do any of those things. So how caring am I?

I used to think that I had the best reputation.

Cassidy is no longer the 'Girl Hockey Jock'.

She isn't an ice princess either, though with her looks and talent, she could qualify as one.

She was the Girl on the Ice.

Emma isn't Porky the Poet.

She is an author.

Megan... isn't looked at as a Former Fab Four Member.

She is the Fashion Designer. The Blogger.

Jess isn't Goat Girl.

She's a musician, an equestrian, an animal rehabilitation helper.

But I am still Becca Chadwick, Queen Bee.

I used to think that life was simple.

But I watched everyone go through their difficulties.

Cassidy's Dad died. She moved. Mrs. Sloane became Mrs. Sloane-Kinkaid. Chloe was born. Courtney left to college. Courtney got engaged. Cassidy fell in love with Tristan Berkeley.

Jess's Mom ran away. Jess's Mom came back. They had to sell the farm. We all saved the farm. She went to Colonial Academy. She helped Lydia the Fox. She got Darcy...

Megan ditched the Fab Four. She designed dresses for the Half Moon Farm Fashion Show. She became a professional fashion designer. She became a blogger... she got Simon Berkeley.

Emma learned how to skate. Emma got Stewart. She spent a year in England. She published a book.

What about my accomplishments?

I cheer-lead... and that's about it.

I feel tears run down my cheeks.

I used to think think that life was simple.

I used to think that I was so smart.

Now I know how stupid I really was.
