It's too bad that "super popular" is shorthand for shallow, seeking popularity above all else, etc. Maybe she's popular because she treats others with respect and kindness, and recognizes that the boy will do the same (and also appreciates that).
But if I'm not the popular one, then it is an impossibility to do what she did. What she did was break the status barrier, something I cannot do as she did
