Paige's POV
The bell shrilly, Lou and I had just finished History. I was in the gifted programme, hence why I only had non-core subject classes with my friends.
"How was that English test you took?"he asked,looking for something that must've been special.
"It was fine I guess." I guess you could say that English was not my favourite subject.
"What was the comprehension about?"Lou always asked that,the comprehension used for the gifted programme in English was always the same as the normal stream,just that the gifted students' questions' were slightly harder.
"About friendship.Bullying.Cyber bullying."hearing those words come out of my mouth just made my heart crack into a million concrete pieces.It made me remember the toxic friends I had back when I was in elementary school.

**A FEW YEARS AGO**

I'm unpopular and ugly.No one will ever love me.I should stop trying,I am a hateful person...

texts between paige and midge

midge:no one will ever love you.
paige:i thought we were friends.
midge:sorry,i'm not friends with unpopular people
paige:why the hell are you being so mean
midge:because you are ugly.because i don't like you.
paige:sometimes i wonder why we're friends
midge:that's news coming from you
paige:y'know what,i'm done.i'm done dealing with this kind of bullshit everyday.i don't have the time for this
paige: **you have been blocked by Paige Rose**

                                NOW
That was the last time I ever talked to Midge.I reminisced on how much fun we used to have.Through that toxic friendship,however,I learnt this highly important lesson, "Do not find people who will only be there when you are happy,and disappear when you are sad.You don't need any part-time people in your life." That was also the year I had ditched Louis,Piper and Mia,because I was put in a class at a higher level than them,Midge had put them on the bad side of my mind.But I quickly ran over to save them right after Midge and I fought.I was 101% positive that after how i ditched them for a bad influence they would not talk to me,ever again.I learnt that they were my true friends.Instead,however,they comforted me and didn't allow me to eat alone during lunch.They told me, "We knew our little Paige would come running back to us someday.No point in getting mad at a short time away from your best friend." I immediately apologised to them for my utterly ridiculous and stupid behaviour,and being the best motherly friends ever,they forgave me.

Now,you must be wondering how I even got the title as the most popular girl in school.Well,after that incident,Midge went around telling the whole school about it,and I was an outcast.However,a mysterious someone,who you'll find out about soon,somehow got my texts with her and put it up on posters and in the hallways.Everyone was on my side now.Then she was the outcast blah blah blah and now she's in another part of the country,don't really know where but probably around Brooklyn or something like that.My curiosity still aroused however,I wanted to know who did such a kind deed,for me.After searching for about 2 months,I gave up.But when I was out together with this someone during a Science project,I found documents on his laptop which he allowed me to use to find information,and found that he had my texts,that looked extremely like an identical twin to the ones in the hallways.I confronted him just so he could spill the beans. "Paige,I really like you.Like,really like.I hated seeing you get hurt.And since you couldn't fight for yourself,I fought for you." My heart melted straight into a red liquid.Anyways,to cut that long story short,I fell in love with him and we became boyfriend and girlfriend.This boy I fell in love with,yep his name was-
