Popularity Isn't Everything

by yokainomiko

Popularity Isn't Everything Or so Tamao says. Anna of course is out to prove her wrong and will go to no end to become queen on her new school. That is if Anna doesn't ruin her chances of a good first impression before school even starts. Abandoned

It was 4 in the afternoon at one of the "hangs" of Ishi High School and of course popularity ruled all.

"Get me a latté!" Anna yelled pointing at a random male loser. He immediately set off on that task.

"Gee Anna, must you be so loud?" Pirika said covering her ears. "Though seeing that kid shake was pretty sweet!"

"You got that right girl!" Anna replied high-fiving Pirika.

The boy gave Anna a latté and Anna took a small sip…which she immediately spit out.

"What is this crap?!? Anna yelled. "This latté is way too hot. Go blow on it until it's cool enough!"

The boy appeared even more pathetic and then proceeded to blow his lungs out.

"A-Anna?" A meek voice asked.

"What is it Tamao? You haven't said much since we got here." Anna said feigning interest.

"W-well, don't you think that you're a little hard on the poor boy? Just because you're popular…" Tamao began.

"I'm plenty nice! What do you mean?" Anna interrupted as she took back her latté.

Tamao looked at Anna with skepticism as Anna took a sip of her latté. Anna frowned and Pirika shook her head sympathetically.

"This drink is too cold!" Anna yelled. She then looked at Tamao and said in a quieter voice. "Go get me another one." Anna added in a glare for good measure.

The boy nodded his head and promptly fell to the ground unconscious.

Something inside the meek little Tamao snapped. "SEE?!?" She practically shrieked. "This is exactly what I'm talking about!!! Taking advantage of poor people and getting away with it because you're popular! Why, I bet you couldn't go a year without the power you have!"

"Wanna bet?!?" Anna yelled back furious.

"Why not?!?" Was the reply. "Transfer into my school as an underdog and see how you like it!!!"

"I think I will!" Anna yelled while pounding her hand on the table. "Whose to say I won't crawl my way back to the top?!?"

"Oh pul—eeze! You're only popular because you have money. Everyone at my school has money. You'd be a loser!" Tamao taunted.

"I will go to your school! Crawl to the top! And date the most popular guy at your stupid school! Or my name isn't Anna Kyouyama!!!" Anna finished with a flourish.

"Fine! If I win you have to change your name and declare how useless popularity is and how hard it is to be taken advantage of by popular people! If you win…" Tamao said in one breath.

Anna interrupted with "If I win you have to worship me as Queen Anna of Popularity!!!"

"You're on!" Anna and Tamao shook hands to close the deal.

"You know…" Tamao said as she calmed down. "Popularity isn't everything."

"No!" Anna said firmly. "Popularity is everything."
