Nicely done! Your character here was quite engaging. Now I wonder if any of the popular-type kids at my high school felt the same way she did.

I was definitely not popular in high school, but I miss my high school friends. I had two best friends, whom I still talk to but not in the same way. High school was unexpectedly pleasant for me, for I had imagined some version of hell from watching too many teen movies and TV shows; college was (and is) worse socially.
