“Girls who aren’t as cute as I am will want to be friends with me, because if I like them, they’ll feel less ugly,” said Ella, adding that, conversely, the opinion of a girl covered in gross freckles wouldn’t matter in the slightest. “I bet I can make them do my homework or carry my books or anything I want. If they don’t, I can stop being their friend, and they’ll be really sad and have to be friends with girls who look as ugly as they do.”
