For my whole high school life, I've been hiding behind my spectacles after my first heartbreak from my childhood benefactor, so as to hide from the attention I would have received if it wasn't for the fact that no one can recognise my real identity. Thankfully, I go to the normal high school where there isn't much news; the same old high school where people like Alec Reyes Spencer always get crowned as Homecoming King and Kristy Carson, also my twin sister, as Homecoming Queen. However, this year, my secret identity is discovered but this time, I'm ready to embrace the popularity. My name is Kristen Carson, and this is my story.

Pretty, Popular and Partnered by FallenStar22

“Every girl wants to be pretty, popular and partnered.” I, Poppy Lake, need help. I seem incapable of functioning like a normal teenage girl; I’m not pretty, popular and I’ve never so much as held a boy’s hand let alone had a boyfriend. Wherever girls learn how to do this stuff, I need to find out. Do they have some secret society or something where they discover these skills? I’m thirteen and I hardly know how make friends. Funnily enough, that’s almost the least of my worries. My hair has not grown at all in the last two months and the little hair I have is frizzy and dull. I can’t wake up without it looking like a puffball and my attempts to grow it out have failed. The flakes of dry skin on my legs were bugging me so I tried to scrap them off but they were everywhere and rubbing my hand up and down my shin only revealed I needed to shave my legs. At some point, my thighs and tummy had expanded without me noticing (although how I missed that I don’t know) and now I looked like an elephant. Unfortunately, my ears support this look by being perpendicular to my head. I pulled my trousers back down and caught sight of at least another ten spots emerging on my forehead, chin and neck. I’ve tried squeezing them, putting toothpaste on them and even skipping chocolate for two weeks, but spots remain stubbornly there whatever I do. Why does my body feel the need to punish me so much? I threw myself on my bed so I wouldn’t have to look at my horrible, imperfect face in the mirror any more. “Urgh,” I moaned into the covers. There was a lot going wrong in my life: 1. My face is hideous; 2. I’m fat; 3. None of the clothes I own are remotely stylish; 4. I have never been asked out; 5. The most popular girl at school hates me; 6. And I fancy her boyfriend. ---- Based off How To Be Popular by Meg Cabot, the story follows Poppy, a young girl in a situation similar to Steph's who gets personal advice from the mentor herself.

["Tell you what." He grins. "Just one more question. If you get it right.. you can do whatever you want to me." My body tenses. "Okay. Whats the question?" He slides his chair a bit closer to me and leans over to whisper in my ear "Who do you belong to?" with that husky voice of his that I love but he rarely uses.
