Chapter 48: It Was a Good Day, Part1

I no longer considered school to be hideous. No one was actively bullying me. The mean girls continued emulating my style and trying to get close to me. The bad girls avoided me, although I caught a few of them glancing warily at my little bodyguard. The boys were back to pestering me once they realized that neither Biscuit nor DeMarcos were interested in me. Bill thought it was hilarious anytime some kid began to awkwardly flirt—that was until a little freshman girl started stalking him, leaving notes in his locker and popping up wherever he was.

Someone once said that to be popular meant that you had to be mean. But that's not true. Bill and I were the most popular kids at our high school, and we treated everyone decently. By the end of October we had become one unit. Since you never saw one of us without the other, people began to greet us by saying "Hi, KenyaBilly." You never heard someone say hi to only one of us without saying hi to the other. We were now KenyaBilly.
