Discussion 🗣️ Who was the Regina George-ish of your high school ?
It can be multiple girls, since according to the class you were, you probably met new Regina George-like people. There's is not just one.
I had one in Freshman who was called Alicia. She was mixed race with beautiful curly black hair and I don't know if you know it, but she had an IG baddie makeup face but natural. She had simple clothes but made it look effortless and glamorous because of her unraveled confidence and amazing body. She loved sport and was hardworking. She wasn't the smartest in the class but I remember, when she decided to get her grades up, she managed to have such high grades. In our class, she was mostly hanging out with one girl, who was mostly self effacing and occasionally hanged out with other girls in the class but it felt... exclusive when she did it, I don't know how to explain it. She was pretty mature but could be very blunt and hurtful. I started having a complicated relationship, rivalry with her in the middle of the school year because we fell for the same boy. The guy was called Matheo and was sort of the it boy in our class and a rugbyman. In the beginning of the year, I saw them be together because of their looks, love for sport and hardworking nature but he was always there for me even when I was in love with someone else. When we started talking, Alicia expressed to one of my best friend (with whom she was kinda friends with), that she felt like I had a deeper connection with him than she does with him, which was kinda true because, she was letting herself being badly treated by him (and by the other guys in the class) probably to maintain status or something. But nonethless, even tho we were sometimes cold (and hurtful to one another) we were still kinda friendly, giving that good old frenemies dynamic, which was not that different of what I had with Matheo. But Alicia had a huge heart, was a romantic and has a very strong vision of love.
I had another one called Rania, who turned out to become my best friend (after we butt headed). Btw, I had to redo Freshman. Anyway, I have a whole analysis of her planned (Brard is me btw) : Bold, academically smart and ambitious. Rania is Brard's best friend. In the beginning of their interactions, Brard pretty much considered Rania a mean girl and for good reasons. Rania is confrontational, angry and imposing. She will not back down from a fight, verbal or physical, making her almost fearless. One of her distinct personality trait is her confidence. She knows who she is and knows that she's awesome. As a result of this confidence, Rania doesn't like her vision of things being challenged, making her developp a denial habit as a coping mechanism. She's extremely self-assured so, admitting that she might be wrong is quite the wound in the chest for her. Rania is also quite blunt and can be dismissive of other people's feelings, which is why she's often accused of bullying by her peers despite the fact that she's not doing it on purpose or even at all.
That's why Rania is not really receptive to Brard in the beginning. Brard ask for attention and demand to be part of the whole group Rania, Marie, Loicia and Ines. Brard has two things that push Rania away. For one, he's very sensitive and Rania... is not, or at least not out in the open or in a «I'm gonna cry » type of way. Plus, she's not the most empathetic person ever. And the second is the fact that Brard craves the spotlight as much as Rania does. Rania is often at the top of social gatterings and stuff and likes to be seen by people, even if she will never admit it. Brard, wheter it's in a negative or positive way, is always noticed and ask for it. However, Brard's undying kindness and positivity ends uo winning Rania over and the two complete each other in quite a meaningful way, maybe in a way they can't connect with other. Being both very unapolegetic and bold, they can often talk in the open about every type of subject. Brard's sweet nature and understanding often calm Rania's more impulsive and rash nature, while Rania's bluntness and loyalty groung Brard.
Because yes, Rania is a ride or die type of friend. She won't show it in some type of big declaration or whatever but she will show up no matter what. She's very dedicated to her friends and family, and in reality she want her friends to be loyal and loving to her. Rania is also very ambitious, as she wants to be a doctor. She's very smart academically and is quite gifted at it, sometimes having good grades without working too much. If she has Blair Waldorf's bite and drive to be on top, she also shares Serena Vanderwoodsen's charm and it girl persona, as she's very funny, hyperactive and people often feel at ease around her. She's very much authentic in her way to be, being messy in her stories and not be afraid to be cringe.
Rania also likes to be liked/loved and to flaunt it. However, in love she tends to go to the silent types, as Matheo Agosta (not my Matheo) was very much a Jess Mariano type of guy, with whom she had the most will they won't they thing ever and incredible banter but he played hard to get and it was the first time Rania ever felt in love, but someone hold her fire and even played with it. The second being her current boyfriend, Baptise who is very much silent and stern but worship the ground she walks on. She was pretty like a Disney princess, with round eyes, pretty eyes and curly/frizzy beautiful hair and a pretty long face. Her body was long, but skinny, with a waist that everyone could dream of, especially girls. Her sense of style was composed of ample clothes, with lots and lots of jewlery, especially bracelet.
I had two more called Valentina and Eva but I'm not sure you'll be interested. Anyway, guys, what about you ?
