I have a strange love for Paulina.
I normally hate bullies but it rubs me the wrong way that a clearly Latina Girl IS the main bully and rival for Danny's love.
That she is just this mean bitch who is in the way of Butch's precious SamXDanny.
They did the girl dirty and Valerie, a black girl, even more.
So since I will never be a fan of Danny and Sam together, but I love him with other girls, here is my first attempt at fanfic for it.
And I choose Paulina.
I love her, I see she could be so much more and that's what she is going to be.
I hope you enjoy it.
There was an old abandoned warehouse not far from Paulina's home.
She liked to be on its rooftop and just tangled her legs over the border.
Sometimes she thought, what would happen if she jumped.
People would surely cry for her.
Her parents for their beloved daughter.
Her friends for their ruler.
The whole school for the Queen B.
And she hated it.
No one knows the real Paulina, how she liked Japanese RPG games, read corny romance novels and loved to bake.
Her beauty had made her popular since kindergarten and she had abused this power so much, that she couldn't be just her dorky girlie self.
Sometimes she thought to destroy her pretty face.
If she was ugly, all her so-called face would drop her faster than a hot potato and she could be whoever she wanted.
There was a freedom in being ugly, she craved.
Signing she snuggled deeper into her oversized black hoodie.
If someone she knew saw her like this, they wouldn't believe that it was Paulina Sanchez, Queen B of Casper High.
The hoodie had seen better days and she wore it with sloppy black jogging pants and some simple white sneakers.
Also, she was without make-up!
Star would surely have a heart attack.
This made the Latina chuckle quietly.
Yeah, just imagine the shocked faces of the other A-Lister could be worth it to drop her Queen B-Mask.
She pulled the hood from over her head and let the wind dance through her black locks.
The moon shone down on her and she closed her eyes, letting its light shine on her unmasked face.
It felt a bit like the caress of a lover, someone who would love her soul and not her body.
Tears formed on the corners of Paulina's eyes, slowly falling down her cheeks.
She was a prisoner of society's norms.
And she was too weak to fight it.

Paulina knew what was expected of her.
The little Goth, Sam Manson if she remembers right, had called her shallow to defend her little (cute) boyfriend.
No one could insult her like that.
She had to take away the Goth's boyfriend.
This was what she had to do.
This was what the Queen B of Casper High did.
The real Paulina just wanted to take a nap and cry.
(*)
It was a pity really.
Danny was cute.
Not only his looks, but his personality was pleasant.
However, since he wasn't the Goth's boyfriend, she needed to dumb him.
A popular girl and a loser together?
No, impossible.
She gave Sam the amulet back and said in her best almighty tone what she was about to do.
Then Sam turned into a dragon.
Of course, Paulina fainted!
This was so scary.
She didn't remember much only she woke up and then Dash was flirting with her.
Paulina had to forget Danny and continue her rule as Queen B.
It didn't mean that, after she made sure her parents were asleep, she put her hoodie and jogs on and climbed up her secret place.
Sad the girl curled herself into a ball.
Would it be always like this?
Could she never break out?
Was this her curse?
Being beautiful, but unable to be her true self?
It hurt.
It hurt so much.
She cried till the first sunrays came up.
Then she sneaked back into the house.
Maybe she could sleep a bit before she had to face school again.
Maybe in her dreams, she could be free from her curse.
Paulina closed her eyes and wished for a world where she wasn't popular and pretty.
Where she just was Paulina.
A normal girl, with a normal life.
No A-Listers.
No Expectations.
Sweet, sweet freedom.
And...a cute boy with black hair and sky blue eyes, who loved her for herself.
