Why Is It This Way?

Chapter Five Maggie's P.O.V

The bell rings, signalling that its time for my lunch. I wasn't paying much attention to what was happening in front of me because I was still worrying if i got question C on the math test right. Yeah big mistake, because I walked right into Kella, causing her to drop all her books on the floor. Kella was the most popular girl in school, but she didn't fit the usual basic mean girl trope. She was much more complicated the that. When I first got here I didn't really understand why she was popular. Sure she was really smart but even though most guys wanted to date her she wasn't that pretty. Actually she was probably the least good-looking out of all the popular girls. I only figured out why she was so popular when I was put in her class this year, only then did I come to the realization that she the devil trapped in a school girls body. She's all sweet and innocent when you talk to her but the second you leave she'll insult every fiber of your being. "Um Maggie" she says
"Yeah" I say breaking out of my train of thought
"Um you've been on the floor for the past five minutes?" The way she says that makes in sound like she was talking to a crazy person. I quickly get up off the floor and walk over to my backpack. In the background I can still hear Kella talking in background.
"Omg did maggie eat a brain tumor for breakfast or is she just the messed up in the head" My whole body freezes when I hear her say that.
"Kella you can't say that" Mack says. Mack is the nicest one out of the popular girls by a long shot. She's the only one of them I can actually stand.
"And why can't I?" Kella hisses in a tone that makes my head want to hide inside my body
"Because thats offensive to people with brain tumors"
"So, no one around here has any"
"Thats not the point"
" Well what they don't know wont hurt them," Kella says before walking back inside the class. Of course all the other girls follow after seeing her go in, but for a brief moment I see Mack give me a sympathetic glance, before walking into the classroom like everyone else. Just then i feel a tap on my shoulder. It was Ren.
"Maggie," she says in a soft voice "did you hear what they said about you" I nod my head slowly.
"Don't worry about what they say" right easier said then done I think to myself, but to her I just say. "Yeah I know"
"Good, because when you become a nurse those girls are gonna be pumping your gas" she says with her usual upbeat smile. I burst into laughter and she does the same. I see a couple people starring, but right now I don't care. My friends will always be my saviours from the world, and when i'm with them nothing could ever bring me down.

I lay awake in my bed, my brain completely filled with thousands of thoughts. Why does Kella's life seem so perfect? I start to wonder. Right after that thought appears I mentally slap myself. Kella is one of the worst people in the world, so why would I want to be her? But then I start to think about it even more. She's smart, athletic, and even with her bellow average looks every guy she meets seems to fall for her. Not to mention everyone loves her even though everyone knows about the true demon that lies within her. I wonder what it would be like to be loved by the world in such. I guess I'll have to wait till my next life to figure that one out. Maybe the reason I want to be like Kella isn't so everyone would fall for me, or because I want to be athletic and have amazing grades, maybe I just want to feel noticed for once in my life.
