A Story A Day. Story 126 of 365: Secret.

The cool kids were the kids everyone wanted to hang out with, they were rebellious, they broke rules, they owned the school. Peter wasn't a cool kid, he was a nerd, and he wanted to be part of the cool kids badly. The cool kids were the opposite that Peter was, they were popular, and he wanted to be popular. There was no way he could walk up to one of them and ask him to join his group, that was madness. So, when one of them asked him for help with his Science homework, Peter saw an open door.

-I want to be part of your group. 

-I don't know, man... you're just... not us, y'know? I mean... y'wear glasses and y'say weird stuff all t'time. 

-I helped you with your homework!

-Let me talk t'the guys...

When they told him he would need to go through some trials to get in, he accepted reluctantly, more so after they told him what they were. Peter had never broken a rule in his short life, and that was what they were expecting him to do. However, he knew his social status would change, his life would change, they were the cool kids, after all. He passed each and every test, including one about pulling the fire alarm. Peter got reprimanded for it, but he thought it was worth it. 

Until he started hanging out with his new friends. To his despair, the cool kids were just a bunch of boring bored kids.
