Maddison Edmonds | Mertle | FC: Skyler Samuels | Age: 18 | Senior | TAKEN
“What do you want, WeirdLo?”
Maddison Edmonds was always a very pretty girl. That was her definition really, pretty with not a lot there. She was vain, superficial and the definition of spoilt, privileged child. She was bratty, rude, judgemental and often a bully. Which is why everyone always found it so strange that she was the best of friends with Lilo Pelekai. The two were polar opposites, Lilo in her hand-me downs and Maddison in her expensively designed clothes trying to mimic the top ranking insiders of the high school food chain. But one thing everyone was certain of was that the girls were practically sisters even if one was a materialistic brat and the other a dog loving tomboy. Maddison had the luxury of being born into an upperclass family, parents that spoilt her rotten, buying her whatever toys and clothes she desired. When she got a puppy for her birthday, it wasn’t enough to have a pet but rather a purebred from a long line so she could show it off. She was a popular redheaded beauty from the youngest of ages, but she was always greedy for social climbing and approval of Kira Pride. It was common knowledge that after she graduated the girl would choose the next Queen Bee as Eric would choose King. Maddison would be the chosen if it killed her.
However when her best friend Lilo’s parents died in a car crash, everything changed. Lilo changed. No matter how much Maddison pushed her way to be around her, trying to offer sympathy’s, Lilo wouldn’t hear it. Time and time again she was shut down, her best friend unwilling to even speak to her. So in attempt to give the girl the freedom she clearly needed she left her alone, knowing that when the wounds weren’t so fresh that Lilo would come back to her and everything would go back to normal. So instead she focused on her other friends, on keeping the Queen bee and her cheerleaders happy in some attempt to stay in good graces. And like she’d suspected, Lilo began attending class again, laughing, hanging around with her and Genevieve. But something was different, before when Maddison would whine Lilo would at least attempt to fake being sympathetic, now the girl just rolled her eyes and offered a sarcastic comment. It was like she couldn’t stand her, but they were supposed to be best friends right?
Maddison was relieved to see Lilo start dancing and having fun again, it was only a matter of time until they were best friends again, or so she thought. Lilo was rude, weird and distant. Texts went unanswered, calls straight to voicemail and every time she went around Lilo “mysteriously” wasn’t home. Slowly the red head began losing all patience for the situation and the girl in question. All she wanted was to help, even if it was in her own brattish way, if Lilo didn’t want her, she wasn’t going to push anymore. She’d give the girl exactly what she expect of her, a cold hearted, Queen Bee copy cat. The only problem was Maddison’s cousin Genevieve, a mutual friend of the girls was battling tooth and nail to bring the pair together again.
Since drifting Maddison and Lilo have been at each others throats nonstop. What started off as simple irritation has merged to a fully fledged war between the two as Lilo’s betrayal brought out the worst in Maddison. She began to relentlessly bully her former sister with an unexpected amount of malice. Anything she knew could hurt Lilo slipped from between her teeth in an attempt to humiliate her, she even began calling her WeirdLo. The best part was that Lilo couldn’t do a thing to stop it, not with Kira’s careful eyes on the pair. But something Maddison didn’t figure into the equation was that Kira wasn’t always there to protect her. One day she’d let a joke about Lilo’s parents slip, instantly regretting the words, however she didn’t have a second moment for guilt as Lilo tackled her to the floor beating her bloody, resulting in the other girls immediate suspension. Maddison’s parents were furious, the red head nursed a broken nose and all hell seemed to break loose when Lilo refused to apologise in front of everyone. Maddison knew she shouldn’t have said what she did, but the little freak had broken her nose and she was going to pay.
Neither of them expected anything else to happen after Lilo finally returned to school, it was expected they’d go back to throwing insults towards one another and loathing each other and Maddison would begin making the other girl’s life even harder than it already was. But the guidance counsellor had other ideas about the pair. In some attempt to find common ground and peace, the counsellor made them “volunteer life guard buddies”. They were to go to the beach every weekend until the end of summer and help with any of the life guards duties. Maddison objected and had even demanded a lawyer, she was the victim here! Why should she have to give crusty old men mouth to mouth because WeirdLo couldn’t control her temper.
Maddison just wants to be popular, that’s all she wants in the whole wide world. To be a Queen just like Kira and have boys adore her, doing anything just to get her attention. But when Kira’s favour begins to sway towards her new best friend Odelia… Well lets just say Maddison wouldn’t be going down without a fight. She’d chosen popularity over friendship before and look how it’d turned out. There was no way she was going to lose to some middle class triplet with over bearing siblings. It was all so complicated, sabotage, paranoia, bitchy slander, it almost made her miss the simple days with WeirdLo where she could just laugh and ride her bike around the island, but like she said… Almost.
