"Why can't I be popular and have friends?" Levi and Lexi are twins. They are closer than close. They've always stuck together and been best friends. They've always told each other everything. After years of homeschooling, they're to join the local comprehensive, Dowerling, for Year 10. While Levi moves straight into the popular crowd with girls swooning at his feet, Lexi totally messes up in front of them and is officially a loner. Somehow, Lexi discovers another side to Levi. One that doesn't care at all for her. One that has no time for her. The new Levi who hates Lexi. Desperate to get her brother back, and desperate to get a social life, Lexi is fixated to an amazing website: How To Get A Life - The forum website for all the people who are struggling with making friends and being a social butterfly, with tips and chats from other users. Join Lexi in this tale of popularity, friendship, emotions, love and discovery of the real world. WARNING: may be slightly triggering in some chapters (tw: self-harm, sucicide, depression etc.)(a/n: it's been three years since I wrote this story but thank you so much to all the supporters over the years. this is a cringey mess but it's also one of the things that is very dear to my heart and this should be staying up for the foreseeable future, even though I wrote this when I was 12 and I can barely look at it. thank you so much for reading <3)…
Casey isn't exactly the most popular girl. She doesn't really want to be popular. She doesn't like all the new crazes that everyone else does. She spends all her money on albums and band merchandise. Her friendship group is the sort of group that sits in the corner in hoodies and listens to music through a phone placed in the centre of their circle. Unlike most people, who count down the minutes until they can go home from school, Casey never wants to walk home in the pouring rain back to her house of arguments and shouting. But nobody needs to know about that.Dan isn't popular at all. He has no friends, actually. He once did. He once played football with all the jocks of the school and he used to have piles of flowers from girls on his desk on Valentine's Day. But after summer, he's lost all of that reputation and star quality, and instead of going to the canteen, he'd much rather sit in the library and read a book, dreading the moment he has to face the world.They lead completely different lives but somehow, in an English assignment where they're paired up for a project, they become friends. They start talking more and more until their conversations become night-time musings about life, and Casey and Dan realise they have more in common than they think.…
