A girl starts a new year of school, and she meets some new people. These new people are seen as the “cool kids”, so in order to fit in, she starts ghosting her own friends and hangs out more with these new kids. She had an incessant need to have social attention, so she surrounds herself in the “popular” group until she too is considered popular. Eventually, the other kids start doing bad things that the girl doesn’t agree with, but at this point, these are her only friends. It eventually escalates to a point where the girl doesn’t want to hang out with these bad kids anymore, even though that would leave her alone. She finally realized, it was better to be alone than with the wrong people.
