The outcasts, rejects, outsiders, or whatever you may call us is exactly what we are, and all of us are fine by that. But our favorite name of all is the unpopulars. Yes it may sound stupid but that's how it originated, from something stupid. All of the unpopular kids are called the unpopulars (it's pretty self explanatory) but there's a lot more behind us than just being rejects. A hell of a lot more.

"Poppy, hello, Poppy!" Being woken from my daze I turned, seeing my best friend Lennox or more commonly known as Lenny waving her hand in my face.
"What is it" I answered smacking her hand away from my face
"You were zoned out for a while and I got worried" a smile spread across her dainty features. "What were you thinking about?" She questioned.
"Toppling this school's moronic hierarchy" I answered back in a monotoned voice.
"You're still on that!?"
"Yes I'm 'still on that' Lenny! I have been ever since I transferred to this wretched place." I fired.
"I'm sick and tired of those dictatorial bitches acting like they rule this school." I stated a little to loudly, grabbing the attention of a few kids passing by, along with snickering and 'ooos' coming from other tables.
"Poppy the reason why they act like they own this school is because they do, they have almost everyone wrapped around their nasty little pinky's, including your brother whom I may remind you is one of them."
"Oh are you guys talking about the aristocrats?" Ash said slamming his tray down between Lenny and I. Ash was our resident computer nerd (because every unpopular group needs a nerd). But that's not the issue, anyway back to the current conversation at hand.
"Poppy is still on the 'wanting to topple the social hierarchy' thing"
"Poppy, I thought we were past this."
"You are, I'm not, Madison Serento still took my brother and her and her little followers still tortured me for the past two years and STILL do it now!"
"Okay well then I suggest we should congregate after school and stage an intervention." Ash joked, I lightly slapped him on the arm pretending to be offended.
"You're an asshole."
"More like Ash hole" Dante interrupted, sitting next to Ash and putting him in a headlock.
"Really!?" Ash yelled trying to pull himself away from Dante.
Meanwhile Lenny and I died of laughter
"Dude, that was the worst pun of the century and I kind of hate you for that." I stated in between hiccups.

The antics continued for the whole lunch period, not stopping even after the bell rung. It was seventh period and consequently the one I hated the most, math. Luckily I had el doofus (Dante) to get me through it. Not to mention we both chose seats in the back of the class so it was easy to goof off while our curmudgeon of a teacher went over the lesson.
As I sat, completely bored, doodling on my desk, Dante slipped me a piece of paper.So just letting you know Lenny filled me in on your wanting to topple the school's hierarchy and what not. If you decide to go through with it I got your back ;)
I quickly wrote back: I'm definitely gonna go through with it I just need to figure out how
"Sweet" Dante whispered quietly to me, giving me a fist bump
"Poppy and Dante, detention!" Mr.Davis yelled
~~~~~
"Fuck!" I screamed kicking my locker shut. "I'm not going to that damned mother fucking detention, and Mr.Assdick can deal with it!" I yelled once more pushing my way through the crowded hallways trying to get to my next class on time.
"Ya know I think you have a bit of an authority problem" Ash said quietly, he knew how volatile my moods were.
"And? I don't see the problem." I said shrugging my shoulders.
Suddenly someone shoved past me bumping my shoulder, it happened all the time but it never ceased to irk me considering kids did it to be jerks.
"Watch where the fuck you're going." The presumably popular boy said, snickering to his friends.
"Poppy don't do it." Ash warned but I didn't listen.
"Go eat a dick, oh wait you already have!" I shouted back.
"The fuck did you just say?!" He shouted heading straight for me, his chest puffed looking like an inflated balloon.
"You heard me or your little brain simply can't comprehend complex speech, so if that's the case I can dumb it down for you." I gave a smile and batted my eyelashes.
"Don't think that because you're josh's little sister I won't beat the living shit outta you." The boy said getting in my face.
"Go ahead, do it. Hit me, HIT ME!" I shouted in his face, he looked shocked not expecting me to react the way I did.
"Just what I thought, you can't, you pathetic piece of shit." I said turning and walking down to class, completely ignoring the looks and stares I got from the crowd that formed because of the little scene. I bounded forward catching up with Ash who did not want to stick around.
"Why do you always do that?" He complained.
"Do what?"
"That!" He said pointing towards the dissipating crowd. "Why can't you just take it and keep walking, but no! You just have to say something don't you? What if he actually hit you?"
"But he didn't, and besides I'm not gonna let some assholes push me around I stick up for myself and you should do that to. You can't let people constantly walk all over you Ash" I stated walking into the classroom, and sitting down in the back next to Lenny and Ash.
"Poppy, I just have no desire to get beat up." He said shrugging his shoulders.
"Well if you ever think that some is gonna beat you up call me and I'll come running." I smiled messing up his scruffy blonde hair, he blushed looking down at his desk.
~~~~~
Class was supremely boring but luckily it was the last one of the day, I ran up to my locker to grab my jacket, Lenny trailing behind me. We walked to the exit of the school and to the student parking lot where my old rusty Grand Am sat in all its glory. But obviously I couldn't leave the school without having to see something that made me want to projectile vomit and gouge my eyes out at the same time.
"Oh look it's Satan and his succubus." I said directing Lenny's attention to see my brother making out with Madison Serento.
"I don't understand why you call your brother Satan." She said getting into the car, as I turned it on.
"Because he is." I said. Blasting the music and driving off towards home.
~~~~~
Once we got in the door we kicked off our shoes and headed to the kitchen to raid the snacks before Josh came with the little bitch. We finally made it to my room kicking the door shut and locking it. I threw the junk food onto my bed and turned on the little tv in the corner of my room.
"I just gotta call Cameron to see when he's gonna get his ass over here."
"Cameron? Who's he?" Lenny asked suggestively wiggling her eye brows.
"Lenny, no. Cameron Alveres, you know the one that goes to our school he's a senior."
"Oooh a senior." Lenny said in a high pitched voice, cackling maniacally. Sometimes I really wanted to kill her.
A knock sounded from the window finally shutting up Lenny and her cackling. I opened the window and I'm came Cameron in all his glory.
"Hey Poppy seed, what's up?"
