A wink, a smile, a soft pat on the hand. You don’t mean to manipulate people; they just like to go along with it. You have a presence. It’s not just because your parents can afford to buy you designer clothes that look like you’ve been poured into. It’s because you’re smart and talented and attractive, the only trifecta that matters.

Which pretty much means the red carpet is rolled out for you whenever you go. When you were young, your parents applauded you for never having to try. For being better. Maybe that’s why reality hit you like a ton of bricks in high school, because you were suddenly required to put in effort and holy shit, effort sucks. And so academia quickly took a backseat to making friends at Salvatore Academy.

Yes, even with that stuck up Burns bitch and her fellow drama llamas.

But you were never a one clique kind of gal. You could pop a molly with the burnouts, pop an ollie with the skaters and still find the time to steal fries from the chess club and a kiss from the jocks table. Coin flip on whether it was a football player or a cheerleader.

~~Spoiler alert, it was both.~~

Being popular was always easy for you; so many of your peers lacked confidence that they were always drawn to you like moths to a flame. You never understood whether it was because they wanted to be you, be with you or because they were incapable of originality and desperately needed someone to imitate.

You never understood. But you never cared either.

You were just happy to have friends. And people, they’re just so willing to do anything for you, aren’t they? Maybe it’s because you never ask anyone do anything you aren’t willing to do first. You lead by example.

A bad example, the kind parents warn their kids about, but an example nonetheless.

Come on Daniel, I swear this is the good stuff. Here, I’ll take the first drink.

You can trust me on this one.

Oh, would you look at that. C’mere Ashley, gotta respect the way the bottle spins.

Well of course I’m going to use tongue, what’s the point otherwise?

You’ve made a career out of breaking expectations, just because you can.

Rebel without a cause, they say. But they’re wrong. You do have a cause.

It’s the feeling of electricity shooting through your veins as you hop a fence and look damn good doing it. Being buzzed on cheap beer and cheaper cigarettes as you and your pals tag the water tower. It’s smeared lipstick and the taste of cherry on your tongue, ripped fishnets and the dull thrum of the beat echoing in your bones.

It’s the look on the face of mummy dearest when she realizes you’ve spent all day partying with gutter trash. But what she going to do? Ground you? Then they should have bought a house that didn’t have a fire escape right outside your window.

You are a thrill-seeker and you’re going to wind up killing someone before long; probably yourself.

And maybe that’s wrong, and maybe it’s not.

Cause that coke and rum had more rum than coke in it, and despite your best efforts, your stomach just can’t handle drink number three. But hey, you do your best work when you’re sauced right? Your whole ass application was a drunken dare in the first place, so like, you’re already ahead of the curve.

If only you could remember what you wrote. Something about putting on a show?

The cash prize would be pretty sweet after all, cause daddy’s credit card can’t make your problems go away when he’s gotten tired of bailing you out.

And now some sparkly capitolite is in your face with a microphone and that giddy feeling of euphoria is surging through your body once again. It’s not fear, its anticipation. It’s the spotlight and a whole new crowd of friends to make.

You run your tongue along the bottom of your teeth before clamping your mouth shut and putting on your demure face.

“Keira’s Capitolites has a nice ring to it. All-it-er-ation.” You sound out the word, letting the syllables roll off of your tongue.

“Bitches love alliteration.” You wink. “It’s you, watching at home. You’re bitches.” You smile wide, sticking the tip of your tongue out as the interviewer moves on to the next question.

Everybody loves a rebel.

Because most people are too scared to be one.
