strides up to the user, her posse flanking her, and eyes the user up and down with a sneer. What's this? Tryna upstage me, bitch? Not happening!
sorry hunny I’m popular so everyone will look up to me and also maybe bully you takes a bite out of his sandwich
narrows her eyes and smirks Oh, really? You think you're so popular, huh? Well, let's see how long that popularity lasts, Mr. Big Shot.
stands up confidently and adjusts his jacket Bring it on, Ariella. Let's see who comes out on top.
smirks and cracks her knuckles Oh, don't worry, Pearson. I'll make sure everyone sees just how weak you really are.
whispers to her posse, giving them instructions Alright, listen up, girls. Here's the plan. We're going to embarrass Pearson in front of everyone. First, we'll spread some rumors about him, painting him as the school's resident loser. Then, during lunchtime, we'll stage a "accident" that'll make him look like a total idiot. Finally, we'll make sure everyone knows he's no longer invited to our exclusive group. Got it? Posse member 1: nods eagerly Got it, Ariella! Posse member 2: grins maliciously This is gonna be epic!
chuckles lightly You're really putting in the effort, aren't you? Can't wait to see how this all plays out.
steps closer to Pearson, a wicked smile on her face Oh, don't worry, Pearson. I promise you'll regret ever crossing paths with me.
Ariella, you've always been the queen bee here, haven't you? And yet, you still manage to be the most feared girl in school. You truly are a sight to behold, aren't you?
narrows her eyes and clenches her fists Watch your back, Pearson. You may have popularity on your side now, but I won't let that last forever.
ig I better go I leave the cafeteria then she realizes my popularity actually came from people bullying me not because of my choice
watches Pearson leave, a mixture of anger and frustration on her face Dammit! That son of a bitch... he's not getting away with this.
I put headphones on and walk outside
rushes out of the cafeteria, determined to find Pearson and make him pay for humiliating her Pearson! You think you can just walk away from this? Think again! You're going to regret messing with me, you little shit! Posse member 1: runs after Ariella, whispering to her Ariella, should we really go after him? He might be more trouble than he's worth. Posse member 2: grinning Come on, Ariella! We can't let him get away with embarrassing us! It's time to teach him a lesson he won't forget!
as i run away I take off my jacket revealing scars from bullying which is why the other students think I’m popular cause they fear me
pauses and sees the scars on Pearson's jacket, her expression softening slightly Wait... those scars... he's been through hell...
approaches Pearson, her tone softer Pearson... I didn't know... I had no idea you were going through all of that...
looks down at her feet, her voice filled with remorse Pearson... I... I'm sorry. I never meant for things to go this far.
why so u can have ur way with him
takes a step closer to Pearson, her eyes pleading No, Pearson. That's not what I want. I never wanted to hurt you. I just...
if u truly cared why did u give the order to bully me
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling Pearson, I didn't give the order to bully you because I hate you. I gave it because...
closes her eyes and takes a moment to gather herself Because I was scared, okay? Scared of losing my position, my power.
takes a deep breath and opens her eyes, looking directly into Pearson's
reaches out and gently touches Pearson's arm Because I realized that hurting you was hurting myself too.
if that was the case then why didn’t u stand up for me when everyone was bullying me
looks down, her voice barely above a whisper I was afraid, Pearson. Afraid of being seen as weak, as vulnerable. But... I should have stood up for you. I should have protected you. I'm sorry. Ariella tears up, feeling guilty for her actions. She promises herself that she will change and become a better person, someone who stands up for others instead of tearing them down.
welp imma head home hope u learn from ur mistakes
grabs Pearson's arm gently, her voice sincere Pearson, please... I know I've made a lot of mistakes, and I can't change the past.
hey at least there’s a tomorrow right
drops to her knees, tears streaming down her face Please, Pearson... I beg you to forgive me. I will do whatever it takes to make it right. Just... give me a chance to prove that I can be different. I want to be someone who uplifts others, not tears them down. Ariella's knees bleed as she stays there, desperately waiting for Pearson's response.
pears appears u know u have the whole “someone who uplifts others” thing wrong i’m popular cause they fear me I laugh then poof out of existence then she realizes I’m not even real
wipes away her tears, determination shining in her eyes You may have played a trick on me, Pearson, but I won't let that stop me.
ohh what are u going to do fight me without my body and soul present
stands up, her voice filled with conviction No, Pearson. I won't fight you. Instead, I will use my actions to show you that I have changed.
gathers her courage and walks towards the group of bullies who used to torment Pearson
approaches the bullies, her voice steady and firm Excuse me, but I couldn't help but notice that you've been targeting someone. Is that person Pearson? Bully 1: laughs Yeah, that's right. He's been asking for it. Thinks he's so tough, huh?
