Nicole was so funny! And she helped me get that annoying Darcy away from me. I grinned at her. She was fantastic! But now I had to find more people that were interesting, because I only had her. Then I had a flash back to grade one, when I was best friends with someone else.who was it? Oh yes, Risa. She was fun.for a while, and then she just became jealous when I found Darcy. Jealousy is so tacky. She was no good. Unless she had changed, which I should have found out.
Then I remembered. Risa was in my geography class! It would be a perfect situation to get together.
I eyed Risa when geography came. She never once looked back at me. She was giggling with some blonde girl beside her. Then I realized who it was. It was that traitor Renee! She had friends still? Then I remembered those twerps Maya and Brianna. I yawned. It was all so boring. But not Nicole. She was fiery and passionate, like her gorgeous hair. I loved that. Anyway, I looked over at Risa and finally we caught eyes. I winked. She stared back with her face as hard as stone. It was almost as if she was glaring at me; but that didn't make sense. Everyone liked Candace, it was always Candace who did everything. I was so sick of it. Then I realized Risa was glaring at me. She was mad at me! I had never experienced this before. And that only made me want her even more.
I went up to her after class. "You wanna do lunch?" I asked in my sweetest voice. "Uh, no thanks," Risa said with a snobby air as she flounced away. I just stared at her. No one had ever refused "doing lunch" with me before. Then again, Risa was so snobby. I didn't need her. But I did know what I could do.
I stopped in front of the door just as a cute boy with light brown hair was going through. "Excuse me," he said, trying to pass. "Wanna do lunch?" I asked politely as I hoped my eyelashes were long enough. The boy smiled. "Sure. Of course, you're Candace. How could I refuse?" he said, still smiling. I smiled my most perfect smile back.
We went to lunch together. I ignored the catcalls and the "Way to go, buddy!" we heard. I strolled, my hips swaying, to the table under the window.
I could just see Brianna going green as I sat with her ultimate crush, Eric.

I grabbed Renee's arm as we made our way into the cafeteria. "Renee, is that Eric Candace has on her arm?" I asked frantically. "I, um, think so," Renee said dully. "Yeah, it's him," Maya piped up. "He's in our geography class, remember Renee?" "Oh yeah!" Renee said. "Yeah. Whoop-dee-doo" I said, slumping down in my chair. "Don't feel bad," Maya consoled me. "I'm sure a guy like him won't fall for Candace."
But I was sure he would. He was just the kind of guy who would fall for the prettiest girl. I was so jealous. How could this happen? I tried to avoid staring at the table under the window where Candace flipped her sparkling hair and smiled, flashing her pearly whites. I could just see Eric falling under her charming spell. Then I realized something.
"Guys!" I said suddenly. "Um, what?" Renee asked slowly. "Darcy's not there! Where is she?" I asked curiously. "Probably sick," was Maya's excuse. "I, um, think she, um, got kicked out of the, um, clique," Renee said. "No way. She's Candace's best friend!" I cried.
But then again, everyone got kicked out sometime. I wondered how Darcy was handling it. I hoped God was punishing her for all that torture and cruelty she had bestowed upon us while we had been with Candace.
I looked around to see if she was in the lunchroom. Then I saw her. Her usual flashing forest green eyes were dull and lifeless; her typical buoyant auburn hair was slack and limp. She ate her lunch meekly and as unnoticeable as she could. I knew why. She didn't want anyone noticing she had been kicked out of the clique. That she had seemingly been thrown out of heaven and onto dusty Earth. But everyone knew. I did feel a slight pang of pity, but she had deserved it.
"I, um, talked with Risa today," Renee said. "Who's Risa?" Maya asked. "Candace's old best friend," I explained. "What did she say?" I asked Renee. "Just that, um, she might have, um, lunch with us sometime," Renee said. "That's cool," I said, shrugging. "Is Risa that girl you were talking to in geography class, Renee?" Maya asked. "Um, yeah," Renee replied. "Candace asked her if she wanted to do lunch with her," Maya said simply. "Looks like she's recruiting back some of her old crowd," I said.
I just hoped she never came near me again.
