Catty (VO) There was another old best friend of Mine, Leigh Ann and Sasha. Her name was Sydney Snyder. But everyone at Providence Academy nicknamed her "Pigtail Red" because of her black red hair, which she wore in a pigtail hairstyle. Everyone poked fun at her because she was thick, in a fat way, and she also worked at a fast food restaurant named McDermott's.

Flashback -- Providence Boarding School Academy -- Before Joaquin Smith's and Mandy Griffith's deaths

In the crowded hallway, Sydney Snyder wears her boarding school uniform at her locker.

Alyssa Laurent, Trixie, Shelley and Mandy Griffith slowly walks by her. And Mandy carelessy bumps Sydney, making her drop her backpack on the floor.

"Are you fucking serious, Mandy?" Sydney asked.

Alyssa Laurent, Trixie, Shelley and Mandy stops walking and turns around to look at her.

"Aren't you gonna pick up your backpack, Pigtail Red?" Mandy Griffith asked.

Sydney crouches down to pick up her stuff and puts it back in her backpack.

Trixie then, spots a wrapped up lollipop, but the stick is broken off. "Oh my gosh. Is that a condom?"

Trixie picks up the "condom", the wrapped up lollipop, in her hand and shows it to everyone.

"It's my lollipop." Sydney tells her, getting her backpack.

"Pigtail Red is trying to get laid." Mandy said.

And everyone laughs at Sydney, who becomes angry.

"Who would ever get laid with a thick girl like you?" Mandy said.

And then, I intervene, along with Leigh Ann and Sasha, defending Sydney. "Why don't you back the fuck off, Mandy? Have you ever gotten laid before? Or are you nervous or too scared to even do it?"

Mandy stops laughing as everyone stops laughing and goes about the rest of the day.

"Oh, I'm sorry, did I strike a nerve?" I said to her and looks at Alyssa. "So, Alyssa, why don't you take your sidekick bitches and walks away.

Alyssa Laurent, Trixie, Shelley and Mandy Griffith walks away.

Me, Leigh Ann, and Sasha looks at Sydney. And she looks at us.

In the Arts and Crafts room, Me, Leigh Ann, Sasha and Sydney are sitting at the round table.

"Thanks, you guys. I appreciate you defending me like that." Sydney said. "Alyssa, Trixie, Shelley and Mandy, such mean ass bitches."

"How long has Alyssa and her sidekick girls have been messing with you, Syd?" I asked her.

"Whenever they get an opportunity to do so." Sydney told us.

"Why haven't you told anyone? Principal Dean Barbara?" Leigh Ann said.

"Telling Principal Dean Barbara is a wussy move." Sydney said with a bewildered expression on her face.

"Alyssa and her sidekick girls only tease you because you work at the fast food restaurant and they think the burgers make you fat." Sasha said.

"I know, but it doesn't." Sydney said. "I don't even have a boyfriend."

"Good. You don't need one." I said to her.

"Catty?" Sydney said.

"I'm not being mean, or trying to make you feel like shit, but do you really think that a young adult boy would ever approach you and talk to you? It's not because you work at McDermott's, it's just because you're thick fat." I said to her.

"You have a point." Sydney agreed. "So, what the fuck am I gonna do?"

"When class is over, Leigh Ann, Sasha and I will take you to work. We'll stay with you because we're your ride home afterwards." I said to her.

Sydney small smiles at us. "Thank you, guys. Sebastian and you guys are the only friends I have."

Me, Leigh Ann, Sasha and I gently holds Sydney's hand on the table.

Catty (VO) After class, Me, Leigh Ann and Sasha did exactly what we talked about with Sydney. We took her to work at McDermott's and we stayed with her until it was time for her to go home.

PROVIDENCE BOARDING SCHOOL ACADEMY

The next day, everyone heard of Joaquin Smith's and Mandy Griffith's deaths.

And with Mandy Griffith's death, everyone thought that Sydney did it as revenge.

In the cafeteria, Alyssa, Trixie and Shelley confronted Sydney and cornered her against a pillar.

"What did you do to Mandy, you thick fat Pigtail Red?" Alyssa said, crying.

"I didn't kill her, but I wish I did." Sydney said with a sly grin on her face.

"Catty, Leigh Ann and Sasha aren't around to protect you now, Pigtail Red? You're a thick fat loser with nothing." Alyssa said and goes to slap her.

But Sydney grabs Alyssa's hand and slaps her instead, causing everyone to look at them.

Trixie and Shelley walks away with Alyssa.

Sydney looks at Me, Leigh Ann and Sasha and walks up to us. "Catty? Leigh Ann? Sasha? Thank you for your help."

"You're welcome, Syd." I said.

Sydney Snyder exchange small smiles with Me, Leigh Ann and Sasha.

"That was a good bitch slap to Alyssa by the way." Sasha added.

Sydney chuckles and sits with us at our lunch table and we eat our lunch trays.

Catty (VO) That was the last time I saw Sydney Snyder. She was still around at the Providence Boarding School Academy. She lost some of her thickness and bettered herself. She owned up to her nickname "Pigtail Red" and used it as a cool nickname.

End of Flashback

MCDERMOTT'S

That afternoon, I walks into the fast food restaurant. I look around at the customers with their burgers, fries and drinks.

"Catty?" A familiar girl voice said.

I turn around and looks at a light brown- skinned young adult woman. Sydney Snyder. She still wears her black red hair in a high pigtail hairstyle, along with her fast food restaurant uniform. And plus with a nose ring.

"Sydney?" I said.

Sydney and I exchange small smiles at each other and we share a hug.

Afterwards, Sydney and I are sitting at a table across from each other, catching up with each other.

"I am so sorry that we haven't kept in touch with each other." I apologized.

"It's alright, Catty." Sydney reassured me with a small smile. "Damn girl, it's really good to see you after all of this time."

"You too." I said to her. "I can't believe you still work here."

"Sure I do, I'm the boss." Sydney said.

I become shocked." Really? Congratulations, I'm so happy for you."

"Thanks." Sydney said.

"I don't know if you've heard, but Trixie and Shelley are dead." I tell her.

"How?" Sydney asked.

"Trixie sudden overdosed and Shelley suicided herself with a gun to her forehead temple." I tell her.

Sydney looks at me, processing what I told her.

"I know you don't care about them because of what they put you through at Providence Boarding School Academy." I said.

"Even though, Trixie and Shelley were totally bitches, they didn't deserve what got to them." Sydney said, sincerely.

"Yeah, they didn't." I agreed.

Sydney and I exchange looks at each other.

"Syd? How would you like to be apart of the Thrashers?" I asked her.

"The Thrashers?" Sydney said.

"It's a local gang group that Grayson is the ringleader of. I am too, and as Leigh Ann, Sasha and Sebastian as well." I tell her.

"I'll think about it, Blondie." Sydney said.

Sydney and I exchange small smiles at each other.
