Author's note:

This is my third story for the 2011 Mew & Mor's Weird Pairings Challenge, so it is, therefore, a M&MWP.

This one was a HUGE challenge for me as I've never done freeverse or femslash before.

The title was borrowed from the song of the same name.

It was hard being

Slytherin's

odd

one

out

Pansy fawned over Draco

Tracey & Daphne were B.F.F.s

And what's her name with the glasses…

I didn't know her at all

-XXXX-

Then there was me:

the block

the giant

alone

unpretty

unloved

Spurned by the boys

Joked about

Teased

Laughed at

(The four houses united over that)

-XXXX-

Who needed those boys?

I never cared for any of them anyway

as friends or more

I decided a long time ago that I would have nothing to do with them

at

ALL

-XXXX-

There was only ever one girl I liked

or

wanted

or

even loved.

She was everything I wasn't

#Blonde#

(:Happy:)

*Bubbly*

Though a little naïve

(after all she did announce that Sirius Black could change into a flowering shrub)

-XXXX-

I watched her everyday

a.l.w.a.y.s smiling

popular

outgoing

Boycrazy.

Merlin, help me!

She was nothing like me

-XXXX-

Then…

one day

she smiled at me after class

Smiled at

ME!

ME!

M

E

!

I checked over my shoulder

no one was there

I smiled back

She waved and disappeared

I stood there

for

seconds

minutes

hours

with the silliest smile on my face.

.

She knew I existed

She was nice to me

She made an effort

-XXXX-

That would do

It

was

a

start
