"Did you guys saw Jenna's sweater?" Mary Jefferson's voice filled the room and was followed by a few chuckles "It was so awful! Ugh for sure it was from her grandmother or something."

"Probably she died with it and Jenna unburied her to get it" Theodosia mocked and more laughs followed.

"That girl is so creepy I wouldn't doubt, though" Mary says again.

Frances wouldn't dare to get out there and face those girls with how she was looking at that moment. More minutes passed and the bell indicating the end of lunch rang. The three girls didn't even bother with it and kept gossiping, unaware of the other girl locked and peeking from the gap between her door and the wall of the cabin.

Mary and Susan fixed their hair and makeup as Theodosia got to the cabin next to Frances' before throwing up. Mary rolls her eyes as she stops to pass another layer of mascara and says "Ugh, grow up Theo; bulimia is so 2007..."

"Maybe you should see a doctor..." Susan says with her usual soft voice once finished passing her maroon lipstick.

"Yea, Sus. Maybe I should..." Theodosia said still in the toilet.

The door of the bathroom opened again and Mrs. Martha walked in "Oh, Mary and Susan..." She was interrupted by another vomiting sound "And Theodosia. Perhaps you didn't hear the bell over all the vomiting. You're late for class."

Frances knew what was up to come next, all of them doomed to detention. But no if she did something. The girl grabbed a pen from her outside pocket and started to scribble at her sketchbook.

"Theo wasn't feeling well. We're helping her" Mary said in an annoyed tone as she crossed her arms.

The old woman chuckles and writes something down at the papers she was caring "Not without a hall pass, you're not; Week's detention!"

In the same second she stands the paper at Mary, Frances gets out of her cabin with another paper in hand "Um, actually, Mrs. Martha, all four of us are out on a hall pass. Yearbook committee"

Mary and Susan glanced at each other with suspicious looks as Frances stood there awkwardly while the teacher checked on her fake hall pass, hoping it looked good enough.

"...I see you're all listed" Mrs. Martha says and Frances release the air she was holding "Hurry up and get where you're going" She says giving the paper back to Frances and leaves the room. Frances had a triumphant smile on her face that disappears once Mary takes the note from her hands. The girl with puffy hair checks on the paper with Susan right beside her, doing the same.

" Who are you?" Mary demands it.

"Ahm, Frances. Laurens" Frances says nervously, this was the first time they ever talked at her. And now they kind of owned her a favor. "I crave a boon"

"What boon?" Mary questions her, raising an eyebrow.

"Uhm..." Frances mumbles. She knew what to ask for but didn't believe she could actually made it that far into the negotiation "Let me sit at your table at lunch- Just once! No talking necessary. If people think that you guys tolerate me then they'll leave me alone..."

Mary and Susan start to giggle and Frances keep on speaking "Before you answer, I also do report cards, permission slips, and absence notes"

"How about prescriptions?" Theo asked, her head popping from the cabin she was still in.

"Shut up, Theo" Mary hisses.

"Sorry..." The girl says getting inside the cabin again.

Mary steps closer to Frances and analyses her face carefully "For a greasy little nobody, you do have good bone structure"

"And a symmetrical face!" Susan shouts with a soft smile as she takes Frances hands "If I took a meat cleaver down the center of your skull, I'd have matching halves. That's very important"

The toilet flush was heard and Theodosia walked out of the cabin fixing her blouse and raising an eyebrow at Frances, measuring her from her feet to the top of her head "Of course you could stand if you lose a few pounds"

After that, the three popular girls took the entire time of that class putting makeup on Frances and for some heaven's miracle fixed her hair. Theodosia even grabbed some extra clothes she kept on her locker once her body was the closest to Frances' size.

The aftermath of that? Frances was for once in the spotlight, but not by being the joke. She was the center of everyone's conversations. The new Republican Doll. No one bullied her anymore, she went to parties she never even thought were real, people she never met were talking about her and she was enjoying that. For once she actually felt high school wouldn't be that bad.

She would talk to Angie once in a while but they don't use to have the same friendship as before but she still looked like the same bubbly girl. Frances also distanced from her brother and he got even more recluse into his books. Of course, her new friends were using her for fake papers to joke with other students and get rid of trouble but Frances didn't bother doing that; since no one ever messed with her again.

And then without noticing it, Frances started to be absorbed by that whole new world.
