"Small town homecoming queen

She's the star in this scene

There's no way to deny she's lovely-"

Adele sang under her breath as she took the orders to the chef. Anna sat nearby, drowning her sorrows in milkshake after milkshake.

'It's over. I hate him.'

Perfect skin, perfect hair
Perfumed hearts everywhere
Tell myself that inside she's ugly

"That witch..." She accidentally voiced this aloud. Adele paused, confronted by the boss, and looked a bit flustered. She walked over and put a hand on her friend's shoulder.

"Come on, lets go home."

"What happened?"

"Well..." 'the boss says you're scaring people...' "I'm off my shift and you look a bit gloomy."

Maybe I'm just jealous
I can't help but hate her
Secretly I wonder if my boyfriend wants to date her

'Stupid Namine'... Stupid Roxas... Stupid life...' She kicked a rock in her path.

She is the prom queen I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader I'm sitting in the stands
She gets the top bunk I'm sleeping on the floor
She's Miss America and I'm just the girl next door

"Don't hate her. She isn't trying to hurt you."

Anna met the eyes of her friend, rage in her eyes.

"I don't care. It's all her fault I'm miserable."

Senior class president
She must be heaven sent
She was never the last one standing

"Listen to yourself." Adele wasn't moved by the level of Anna's tone.

"I'm done listening! I want to SAY something now!"

A backseat debutaunt
Everything that you want
Never to harsh or too demanding

"I'm tired of this game! I want to leave it behind me, far far behind! As far as I'm concerned, she can HAVE him."

"Hm. Sounds like you do care if you're miserable."

"Don't analyze me!"

Maybe I'll admit it
I'm a little bitter
Everybody loves her but I just wanna hit her

"You don't hate him."

"I DO SO!" She had stopped now, glaring down at Adele despite the height difference. "I HATE HIM WITH ALL MY VERY BEING, FROM MY HEAD TO MY TOES AND BACK AGAIN!"

"Only someone with a huge crush can say something like that while they cry."

Anna put a hand to her face, and felt the warm teardrops.

She is the prom queen I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader I'm sitting in the stands
She gets the top bunk I'm sleeping on the floor
She's Miss America and I'm just the girl next door

Oh and I'm just the girl next door

"What do you know anyway?"

"I know a lot about love. You're in deep. And denial."

"I'm NOT in denial!"

"Classic signs."

Her anger melted into a little puddle of despair.

I don't know why I'm feeling sorry for myself
I spend all my time wishing that I was someone else

"This is so stupid. I hate life."

"Shh, emo girl. It'll be fine." At the disbelieving glance, she started to continue but was cut off.

"Roxas just said he hated me and wanted me to leave the planet, maybe this universe. It's hopeless."

"Trust me."

She is the prom queen I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader I'm sitting in the stands

As she looked up into her friend's eyes, Anna believed her. Adele was always so sure, even in the most hopeless situations, and even if she did get a bit egotistical at times... She kept her courage up.

They walked home together, chatting lightly about how that stain won't ever come out of this uniform and how tips were a great reason to be polite.

And for a moment, everything seemed normal.

I get a little bit, she gets a little more
She's Miss America and... she's Miss America
I'm just the girl next door...

Normal...
