The thing about Maddy was, she knew what that felt like. Maddy was the only person I could talk to about school. I told her all about Jade and Catherine. I told her how horrible it was to always have the wrong shoes, and the wrong bag, and the wrong hair. She knew how horrible it was to not have any friends. She didn't try and come up with ways I could fix everything, or tell me to try harder. She just ... understand.
