You know who people usually make as the prom queens in movies and television shows? That mean diva. Yup, that's me.

Natalie once said in an offhand comment that girls are much meaner than boys. I agree. Boys use fists - girls use mouths.

I can be mean; that much I will admit. I know what you call me when they thought I couldn't hear. The thing is, you're not much better than me.

Don't lie. You all have that kind of people in your lives that you cannot stand, the ones that you want to punch once they open their stupid mouths. You find it completely normal and acceptable when you roll your eyes at them with your friends, but how am I a two-faced snake when I do it?

A bully? No, that's not what I am. I have never actually hurt the people I hate. In fact, contrary to popular belief, I don't spread rumours everyday or send people's nudes around just to humiliate them. Seriously, I don't know why people think we have the time for that. How do they think we can juggle ruining people's public image, staying on top of schoolwork to get to prestigious colleges for our parents' happiness, and training for cheerleading everyday?

If they can call me a slut, why can't I call them idiotic toads? If they can laugh at the way we act, why can't I laugh at the way they act? I dare you to convince me that it's not plain hypocrisy. I don't see what's wrong with giggling about Iris's ridiculous talking speed or Renee's dumb questions in class.

Why do people treat me as the devil, you ask?

I don't know.

Maybe it's because I feel good in that pink skirt that is shorter than my knees - slutty.

Maybe it's because I enjoy shopping for clothes with my friends - shallow.

Maybe it's because I slept with three guys in one year - whore.

Maybe it's because I am good at influencing and convincing people - manipulative.

Maybe it's because they want someone to blame when they spilled their secrets a little too loudly in the washroom - nosy.

Maybe it's because they don't like a girl who stands her ground - bitch.
