" Molly! " Molly looked up, her eyes red and puffy from sadness. She recognized that voice anywhere.
" What? " She whispered, barely hearing her words through her own ears. Meanwhile, Gil stood near the door, waiting for a response from Molly. " Molly? " Gil was tempted to open the door, but he knew he shouldn't. I mean, he was about to enter the girl's bathroom.
" Molly? I know your in there. Please answer. " Gil sighed, but before he could leave Molly walked out her eyes still a bit red. Gil stifled a laugh as toilet paper trailed behind Molly's shoe. " You got a little something, " Gil motioned to her foot. " Right there. " Molly blushed, snatching the toilet paper from her show and throwing it in a nearby garbage. Gil laughed as Molly's face turned even redder. The two continued down the hall, ignoring the whispers from other students.
" Is it all true? " Gil asked, stopping Molly. He didn't even have to explain, Molly shook her head, a single tear falling down her face.
" It's Chloe...she...she..."
" Yeah, I know, " Gil's smile faded, a frown now taking it's place. " What if I said I knew a way to help you become popular? " Gil asked, a smile reappearing on his face. Molly's face brightened, A shot at becoming popular? I'll take it!
Gil looked at Molly, then shrugged. " I'll take that as a no, I guess. " Gil laughed, waving as left. Might've been a good thing to say out loud, Molly thought, shaking her head.
Courtney sighed, dragging her books down the hall. It felt as if they weighed a million pounds. Courtney Wiggins had been at Chloe's side ever since they were babies, and this was, by far, the worst thing Chloe had ever done to anyone. As others made way for the pink-haired girl Courtney did the same, guilt washing over her like a wave at the beach.
Whispers and snickers came from the other students as Molly walked down the hall, tears hinted in the corner of her eyes. Courtney reached out to her, but slowly reached back. What are you thinking? Courtney thought to herself. Do you know what this could do to your reputation?! She stopped, thinking for a moment. If she helped Molly, then Chloe would instantly throw her out of her group. Muttering that about how she was "easily replaceable". On the other hand, Courtney could ignore her soft side, shrugging off Molly and her social life.
" Can you believe she even showed up to school today? " Courtney snapped out of her daydream. Chloe's voice floating around her ears. " It's like she tries to embarrass herself. " Chloe snickered, but for the first time, Courtney didn't join in with her.
" What's your problem?! " Chloe stepped in front of Courtney, blocking her view of Molly. Courtney looked down, kicking the air with her new boots.
" Oh, it's just..." Courtney paused. Was she really going to risk her popularity, all for a 'nobody'? Courtney shook her head, continuing her sentence, " Did you really have to do something so, I don't know, dramatic? "
" Listen hear 'nobody', " Chloe snapped, placing her hands on her hips. " Who was the one that helped you become popular? That's right me! " Chloe pretended to act surprised, but she knew what the truth was. Courtney had been a 'nobody' for years, but if Chloe hadn't come along, Courtney would have probably been in Molly's place right now. " I can easily replace you. " Chloe sashayed away, her other followers suddenly appearing at her side. See, Courtney told herself, told you you shouldn't have waisted your time with a 'nobody'.
