"A few of us sabotaged her cheerleading tryout," Mallory said. "The older girls laughed her out of there, and were picking on her for weeks. And after that..."
"What?"
"She kept to herself a lot and kept a low profile. Then she tried out again the next time they had tryouts...and she did pretty well, but those cheerleader bitches picked on her again anyway. You know how they are..."
Karyn looked at her. "Yes, and Sarah was the worst one..."
Mallory looked at her. "But...now...I mean...I guess her Mom was real disappointed in her. Now...she's not a cheerleader, but...she still really wants to be. It's kind of...sad."
Sarah was...'sad'? Karyn had a hard time picturing that.
