All Chapters of The Popular Project: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

“I came here for a bite. Didn't expect to see you . . . looking different.”I blushed and hid my face behind my hair.Kenneth slid into the empty seat left by Darcy and Mindy.“I wanted to invite you to football practice after school but you just disappeared.”“Sorry about that. Darcy, Mindy and I had something to do.”I looked up at him and quickly removed my eyes.Forget about my speech about becoming a differentt person, around this guy, I was shyer than I usually am. And without my big, familiar sweater giving my confidence whatever miniscule boost that allowed me to step out of my house everyday, I was useless.“Hey no problem.

Operation Popular is underway!I'm so excited because this is the first time I'm actually leaving my home and not for vacation.The purpose of this is to let all the 'excluded' population of LittleWood High at least get a glimpse of what it takes to be popular.Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a part of the student body at LittleWood, the only reason I'm using this particular high school is because my research shows that it is the most representative of the variables I wish to study.How am I going to get info if I don't go there?

It's been a busy week.I don't know what to write, I don't know what to do, I don't even know how to feel! My head's a jumbled mess — like my room presently. Don't ask why — I'm not sure this will help in your quest to get popular, but it's something I've learned this past few days, and hey, it's better than an empty notepad, right?So here goes:Tip 3: Get out of your comfort zone.I know, I know, it's comfortable and secure, but you're not going to make any friends if you sit in the same place day after day, year after year. Get out, explore and make friends. Remember, if you're friends with everybody it'll be easier to remember you and invite you to parties an
