“Rachel, come play hide and seek with us!”
“Hey Rachel, do you wanna come hang at my house after school?”
“Can I play with you guys?”
“Ew Candace no way!”
Rachel laughed and waltzed away with her friends.
I didn’t get it. Why was Rachel so popular? She was always so mean to me!
Hi, I’m Candace from Texas.
Growing up, I was always just average. I wasn’t pretty. I wasn’t super smart. I wasn’t popular. I was the opposite of my neighbour Rachel. Everyone loved her.
One time the whole class was at a birthday party. Rachel had told me the day before that it was a dress-up party, so I had begged my mom to buy me this Harley Quinn outfit. I arrived at the party but to my horror not a single person was in fancy dress! I was the only one.
“Oh, look who’s here! Is that supposed to be Harley Quinn? More like Hardly-A-Queen!”
Everyone laughed at me. Hmph. It wasn’t even a good joke! I was ready to leave the party right away, but then another girl rushed in and stood between me and the crowd of laughing kids.
