Chapter 1: Perfect Ally

    Ally was what one would consider the perfect girl. She was a three season athlete who played field hockey, basket-ball and lacrosse. She had stellar grades, which made her top five in her class. She was also drop dead gorgeous. She had long glossy blond hair that cascaded down her shoulders. She was sun kissed and had vivid blue eyes. All in all, between the combination of her looks and talents, she was one of the most popular girls in school.

    Ally liked being one of the most popular girls in school. Popularity was a contest and like all contests, Ally felt the need to win. For Ally, high school was her kingdom and she ruled it however she saw fit.

    Ally attended school at Richmond Academy, the most pristine school in all of Virginia. Although, there was tuition to attend Richmond Academy, even people that Ally considered complete losers could afford it. Richmond Academy was nestled between a Catholic Church and The Pyramid Mall, the local teen hotspot.

    Today seemed like it was going to be a normal day for Ally and her crew, Jessica and Christina. They chatted about the latest runway designs and gossiped about Ally’s only enemy, Gabriella. Their chatting was going perfectly fine until someone brought up Brett, Ally’s boyfriend.

    “Ally, I don’t know why you’re even with Brett anymore...,” Christina said.

    Sighing, Ally replied. “Me either.”

    “He’s just so lame!,” Christina said. “I mean even his name says loser written all over it!” Ally glanced of at Jessica who was playing with chestnut hair and avoiding eye contact.

    “What do you think?” Ally asked Jessica.

    Jessica thought for a moment then replied, “I don’t know, Ally. I mean you are the prettiest girl in school. If you were to dump Brett, you could easily find a new boyfriend.”

    “So true. I’m the package deal! So it’s decided, I will break up with Brett and find a more fitting guy for my status,” Ally proclaimed. On that note, all the girls rose from the table they had been sitting at. They blew kisses at each other and promised to meet up later for low-fat yogurt smoothies at Smoothie Shack.

    ***

    Ally was walking down the hallway to English when she saw just the boy she wanted to see, Brett. She sped up, head held high with a smile of utter pleasure plastered on her face.

    Seeing Ally, Brett said, “Hey, baby! How’s my girl doing today?” Then Brett leaned in to kiss her cheek.

    Stepping back, Ally said coolly, “Brett, we need to talk.”

    Looking somewhat confused, Brett responded, “All right, let’s talk.”

    “Brett, I don’t think we’re going to work out.”

    “What do you mean we’re not going to work out? Just last week you said that I’m the best thing that has ever happened to you.”

    “Well, I’m sorry but things change.”

    “Ally, is there another guy?”

    “Not yet! But there’s bound to be!”

    “Ally why? Please don’t be like that.”

    “This is goodbye, Brett! Ciao!”

    Ally turned away from Brett, tossing her straight glossy hair over shoulder. When she turned she left Brett with the scent of almond milk and honey.
    Ally marched away from Brett and to her English class. Her head was held high and she could not help but smirk at how amazing she was.

Chapter 2: The Less Popular, Gabriella

    Gabriella was a bright girl who excelled in every class she had ever taken at Richmond Academy. She was funny and caring but she was also very shy. Gabriella didn’t really make friends. She was always busy studying and that took away from her social life. In fact, she was so deprived from a social life; she didn’t even have any social networking accounts.

    Gabriella had only one friend in school, a boy named Wesley. Wesley was fairly smart, somewhat popular and athletic. He dressed like a hipster, always trying on things like glasses, straight-legged jeans and suspenders. Wesley and Gabriella were so different that it was like night and day. The
