Many years ago...

"It's all your fault! Everyone at school can barely look at me!" yelled Mike Nolan. Eliza sniffled. She couldn't believe this was happening. It had all gone well. She was giving great advice to her peers. It wasn't her fault that Gina Turninghum asked her opinion.

Dear Lady A,

School has been taking a toll on everyone. It must be for you as well. So how about a deal? I become the next Lady A so you can focus on your life. It's pretty easy. I can give much better advice than you, but I'm sure you did your best.

Can't wait,

The new Lady A

Eliza knew it was Gina, seeing as the girl was green at how popular 'Off-script' was.

Dear the new Lady A,

You will be the first to know when I resign, but we are currently not hiring anyone else.

Thank you,

Lady A

Gina was furious and started fake rumours about the so-called horrible rumours about Lady A giving horrible advice. Being the spoilt girl, she asked her best friend/part time school secretary to find out who Lady A was. The principal believed every word that came out of Gina's mouth and shut down the advice column

"IT'S YOUR FAULT," said her twin. It's not your fault...you were just trying to help.

Eliza felt heartbroken as she looked at her phone that night. All her new messages and emails had the same topic.

Why I hate Lady A

Then the path of revenge began. A new Lady A was formed, one that made sure to turn the town against each other. One that made sure what rumours really felt like.

They would pay...they would all pay, thought Eliza Mills, now the Mayor of Brooks, with a family and her heart still burning and earning for revenge.

She stared at a family photo. Her husband was grinning while Janet's face was full of popcorn. "The reason I stopped was because of you. I don't want to keep any secrets from you both...I've tried to be strong and stop 'Off-script' but they've forgotten what it was like. What it felt to be hated. I'll never be satisfied till they feel the pain. It's not just here, it's worldwide" she confessed to the picture. She knew that her family was upset about 'Off-script', Lady A might've been a problem at Brooks but the media have found profound interest in it. She felt tears pour down her face silently. No one suspects a thing, not even Gina"

This was the only way.
