           Back to the room 301, Siobhan went to the said room after a misunderstanding between herself, Lisa, Holly and their friends. She lied down on her bed and picked up her pillow before letting out a scream of frustration. Muriel and Jacquie came to the room, concerned about their friend's behavior, "Siobhan, are you allright, girl?" She asked her.

"Holly said that I was manipulating her and her friends!" Siobhan stated as she placed her face on her pillow.

"Siobhan! Come on, girl! It was a misunderstanding!" Muriel placed her hands on her hips.

"She and her friends told me that Dollatlanta was a stupid figment of my imagination! Can you believe that?!"

"Siobhan, calm down! Beverly never did on purpose!" said Jacquie as she tried to console her.

At the room 201, Holly was combing her hair and argued with Lisa and her friends, "I feel like a freak, Lisa! Can you believe that?! Siobhan manipulated us and brought us to that mysterious district! We have two days left until the beginning of the summer break!" She complained.

"Holly, please! It's not our fault that Siobhan brought us to Dollatlanta!" Lisa has put her hands on her hips.

"Yeah, right! I feel like someone would stab me in the back!"

"C'mon, Hol! It's not the end of the world! You're not thinking straight!"

"Thinking straight? Are you acting like what?" Holly crossed her arms.

"Siobhan, we met Lisa, Holly and their friends in the campus! They're good girls! A nice group! They're not like Beverly!" Muriel stated.

"Beverly believes she is great!" Jacquie continued.

"Great like what?" Siobhan asked before a boy wearing a yellow baseball cap bursted to the girls' bedroom.

"Siobhan! Muriel and Jacquie! Holly is outside being complimented by everybody!" The boy explained.


A moment later, the three girls have left their room and went outside where they saw the students crowded and cheering for someone. They were given autographs by the supposedly unknown person which turned out to be Beverly disguised as Holly, with a tattoo on the arm saying 'I'm not a rag doll'.

"Holly? What is she doing?" Siobhan shoved some students to see her, "Holly! Wow, girl! Now that you're here giving autographs to these people, how about sing together? I'll sing new wave and you sing pop!"

"Yeah, rag doll! What do you think?" said Muriel before seeing the tattoo, "Holly, why you have a tattoo on your arm?"

"Don't call me rag doll, Muriel. I'm no longer Holly the ordinary rag doll, I'm Holly the human girl!" Beverly proclaimed herself, "I have my friend Brooke with me!"

"If you were here, Beverly won't steal your reputation!" said Siobhan.

They laughed while Lisa and Holly went outside and saw Siobhan, Muriel, Jacquie, Beverly and Brooke laughing together. The rag doll watched sadly and felt under the impression that her classmates does not like her anymore and felt like an outcast. She sighed while Lisa comforted her friend. On the next day, the two friends and the rest of the girls began making their way to the classroom. Holly saw her classmates and tried to greet them with a shy manner, but no avail when Beverly, still in her disguise, gave two girls a high five. When they arrived on the classroom, they felt like they were excluded.

"I don't understand, girls, what's wrong with Holly?" asked Rita.

"She lost her hairstyle," said Verena.

"Verena, she lost her reputation and now no one is complimenting her. Her duplicate was loved by them," claimed Maureen, "I mean, Beverly is now loved by her classmates."

"Beverly is such a delusional meanie, Maureen! They don't like her!" said Nikki.

"I'm pretty worried that Beverly is stealing the spotlight from Holly!" said Bailey.

"That's not cool! Beverly won't steal Holly's reputation, dawg!" Portia crossed her legs, "Yo, That pink haired girl is totally dope!"

"I don't know why the real me is right here," Holly stated before seeing a girl passing by, "Hi! What a lovely morning, right?" She said as she saw the girl going to talk to Beverly. The cheerleaders of the university, who are the only ones supporting Holly, watched her.

"What's wrong with Holly?" said Tess.

"She was replaced by Beverly," said Elvina.

"Beverly Streator?" said Tiffany, "She is not awesome like her!"

"Lisa, Holly, isn't that Siobhan over there?" Nikki pointed to Siobhan, who is talking with Beverly, Muriel, Brooke and Jacquie.

"Looks like she left us behind saying 'I don't care about you girls!'." claimed Holly.

"That's a nice joke, Holly! Tell us again!" said Muriel.

"Here's a nice one: why the little girl wants to have her hair combed? To get a perfect hairstyle!" Beverly laughed along with her friends.

The rag doll and her friends sighed as they watched the pink haired girl telling jokes. They felt disappointed that their spark of cheerfulness has faded away. And then, time passed, passed, passed and the girls never tried to gain the classmates' trust and loyalty. Lisa and Holly were in their bedroom, thinking to themselves while looking at the ceiling. They imagined themselves as two rag dolls on a charity box along with many toys. They saw Siobhan, Muriel and Jacquie dancing together and sighed as the imagination went back to reality.

"I wish our classmates must know who I really am," Holly said to herself.
