\"\"<\/span><\/div><\/div>

(Serio-comic, Juniors – Teens)
\n<\/b>Kelly, the alpha-female of her pack, has been friends with Rebecca for years. But it\u2019s time for mean-girl Kelly to let Rebecca down easy. Kelly tells Rebecca there is a really good reason she doesn\u2019t like her. It\u2019s not for the many more obvious reasons where Rebecca fails as a human\u2014because these only make Kelly look better. It\u2019s because, well, she noticed that Rebecca is looking prettier, wearing better clothes, and she even made a boy laugh. That is just not cool.<\/span><\/p>\n
