chapter one - a smoothie, Ryan Baker and my boyfriend

Ryan Baker destroyed my life. And made me into the bad guy.

I get why everyone thinks I'm the bad guy. I'm... not the best at the whole social interaction thing.

I know what you're thinking. How can you be popular and not be good at talking to people? Well it's a pretty simple answer. I'm pretty and I know how to make myself desirable. And no I don't mean it in that way. I just know where to get knock-off clothes and bags and I know all of the drug store make up dupes.

My friend Kris introduced me to all of my friends because she knew them first. She's the likeable one and I come with her. We're a duo that can't be separated. You see me, you know she's not far.

It just so happened that our friends became football players and cheerleaders when we got to high school. And I mean, I had a pretty good reputation up until Junior year. People weren't afraid of me and they didn't think I was this monster.

But then Ryan Baker had to dump her smoothie on my boyfriend. I had actually thought it was pretty funny at the time and I high-fived her when she did it. If only I knew that she had just sparked the infatuation Chris had in her.

Maybe I should start from the beginning.

I met Chris Mayer on the playground when we were kids. He was my boy best friend. We played together every day and spent hours on the phone at night. Our parents let us have sleepovers in grammar school. We would build pillow forts and watch my older brothers scary movies when my parents fell asleep. I started having a crush on him in middle school. He was my date to every school dance and would beat up any boys that were mean to me.

We started dating the summer before high school. He was my first kiss. My first love and my first time. I really did love him. I do love him still I think.

He was the captain of the football team and I was the captain of the cheerleading team. We were a perfect cliche.

And then he said that Ryan Baker had a nice ass to one of his friends and she heard about it. So she made her way over to our lunch table and dumped her blueberry smoothie all over him. I was annoyed at him for looking at her ass so I was excited that he got what was coming to him.

But then he started talking to her more. He started ignoring my texts while he was with her. He canceled our dates because he had to 'work' but then I would hear that he was seen out with Ryan.

I tried to be nice at first. She was my boyfriends friend so she should be mine too, right? I invited her to sleepovers and out to eat with all of us. I even offered her a seat with us at lunch. I didn't know that she didn't feel welcome. I really tried.

And then Chris got distant. Our kisses didn't spark anymore. He barely acknowledged me in school and his texts were all one-word and then I found out from his mother that he had kissed Ryan.

I was heartbroken. I confronted him and told him that if he wanted to keep me, he had to stop talking to Ryan. I mean he cheated on me with her. What was I supposed to do? Let them still be friends? I wasn't gonna let him make me look like a fool.

He dumped me as soon as I gave him the ultimatum. That one really stung. From what I heard, they hadn't even been talking at the time. He was so quick to end our relationship when all I wanted was to salvage it.

I made some... bad decisions after that. Like I left Ryan some really mean voicemails and the cheerleading squad was so angry at Ryan for making Chris leave me that they voted her friend Penelope off the squad. That one was really mean and I tried to fix it when I realized we were wrong but it was too late.

But what really destroyed my reputation was the New Years Eve party. Ryan and Chris had just officially got together and I had just found out at the party. I was already a little drunk... Okay alot drunk. I found her alone in the kitchen and went off at her. A crowd had formed and was watching as I called her all sorts of names. I remember seeing the tears well up in her eyes. I remember people looking at her with looks of pity. Like I wasn't standing there with tears streaming down my face.

My boyfriend, the only guy I had ever loved, left me for her. And they pitied her? Why? She wasn't some weak little nerd girl. She had proven herself to be strong plenty of times. The amount of times she told off my Chris, proves that.

It all ended when Chris stopped me from smacking her and called me a "cold hearted bitch that couldn't let him be happy."

I remember that was when my heart actually tore in half. I realized that if I really did love Chris, then I should want him to be happy. So I walked out of the party and went home. I spent winter break in my house. Crying, eating ice cream and on FaceTime with Kris.

Then when I went back to school, everything changed. Chris started sitting with Ryan at breakfast and lunch and took a group of his friends with him. The cheerleading squad stumbled around me, like they were afraid. People parted in the hallways when they saw me.

And the rumors. There was so many rumors.

One thing stuck though.

The rest of Junior year, I was known as the 'Cold-Hearted Queen B of Westview High.' Everyone called me that when they didn't think I was around. Even Eastview high kids started calling me that. I never wanted that. I don't want to be known as 'cold-hearted.' The only person that didn't treat me differently was Kris. And now the new freshman are terrified of me.

A poor freshman stepped on my shoe yesterday and looked like she thought I was gonna bite her head off. And I heard her telling her friends about it and how I wasn't that bad. But her friend told her about how her older sister showed her a video of me screaming at Ryan.

Ryan Baker and Chris Mayer are Westview high's 'It' couple. And I'm just the cold-hearted queen B that tried to destroy their relationship.
