And he never did come out to look at that thing that flew overhead. He wasn't even interested.

(he turns to the faces in the group, his face taut and serious)

Why? Why didn't he come out with the rest of us to look?

Look at my new bag!”
“Wow, I love that pink! Where did you get it from?”
“I don’t know, it’s from a designer shop in London and anyways not everyone can afford such things.”
“Really, we hardly ever visit London, and that’s far from shopping just randomly” said Maggie glumly.
“Aww, that’s a shame” Shannon said while putting her fringe behind her ear and giving Maggie a boastful look. She walked away with pride to her pride of friends.

“I wish, I wish I could be like Shannon, lots of friends, popular, rich, pretty, perfect... Not like me unpopular, ugly and Imperfect”. How am I pretty? My horrible hair, all un-neat and horrible. My eyelashes are as short as ants and my skin doesn’t even tan. On top of that my luck is so bad, I can’t wear makeup, I’m not rich and everyone hates me. I’m Imperfect the word Maggie called herself again and again, the word that ate her from the inside like a lion feasting on a deer, the word that broke her heart up into tiny little pieces, like a mirror crashing to the ground – another sign of bad luck.

Then she cried alot infront of the mirror and says herself '' i look beautiful than that popular girl and i have a good parents to takecare . But why i dont get popularity?'. Then this unpopular girl thinks how to make that popular girl unpopular. At that time one poor boy touches her beautiful dress and asks her some money to buy food. Then this unpopular girls slaps him and yells 'get out oe here'. Then he went away and asks that popular girl money. Then the popular girl kisses the little boy and she gives some money and says 'get some food and buy new dress'. The unpopular girl watches it and realised to jealousy makes her unpopular and helping someone makes everyone popular.
