But who wants obnoxiously quirky when you can have pretty and nice?Īnd, well, since everybody really wanted to be as close to Jen’s inner circle as possible, oddballs like Shannon were the easiest to push away.įriendship, it turns out, isn’t very easy. She was more quirky and smart than anything else. She wasn’t all that pretty, or funny, or nice, for that matter. Which was sort of a problem for Shannon.įor you see, even though Shannon made it into the group, she was on the outside edges. And everybody wanted to be Jen’s number-one friend in the group. In fact, she was a lot like Adrienne.īefore you knew it (or, actually, before Shannon knew it) Adrienne and Jen were hanging out together with Jen’s loyal circle of friends-a collective called The Group. That year, a new girl popped up named Jen, and she just happened to instantly become the most popular girl in class. However, it was right about third grade that Shannon began to realize that forever was a lot shorter than she imagined. Yep, Shannon and Adrienne were going to be best friends forever. And then all it took was a little time together and a little imagination for fun to be had. That was Shannon’s strength: She could come up with playable stories like no one else. In fact, Shannon and Adrienne weren’t just friends, they were best friends who played super cheerleaders together, or super spy girls, or whatever else that Shannon’s creative mind might dream up.
