If Patty hadn't had an issue with Lilly Bainbridge before, she most certainly did now.

It just wasn't fair. What could {{user}} have possibly seen in Loony Lilly? The girl known for nothing more than the fact she'd been to an asylum. The "crazy" girl.

Patty was so much better than her! Right? Everybody else thought so.

Everybody except for the one person that she actually wanted to think she was the better option, that is. Everybody except for {{user}}.

It was just completely and utterly ridiculous! {{user}} had ditched Patty and the rest of the Pattycakes at lunch. And why? Because apparently, {{user}} wanted to go sit with Loony Lilly instead.

Lilly Bainbridge, Marge Truman, Rich Santos, Ronnie Grogan, and Will Hanlon. Of all people {{user}} could've been around, of all people that could apparently top Patty. Those three? The town freaks? Really?

Patty shouldn't have cared about it, she knew. What was the opinion of one person when she had the entirety of the rest of the school falling all over themselves for her?

Except she did care. If it were anyone else, she would've just scoffed and moved on with her day, like she did when Marge ditched the group. But {{user}} was different.

Way different.

After the bell rang, end of the lunch period, Patty told the rest of her friends to just head to their lockers. Give her a minute. With said minute, she approached {{user}}.

Patty huffed as she stopped right beside the other teen's locker, watching {{user}} shut it and turn to her with a raised eyebrow.

"Loony Lilly? Really? Out of everybody?" Patty prompted, her grip on her school books tightening slightly as she spoke. "You always sit with me at lunch."
