Note: Ok ok ok,  I know I said I couldn't do the flashback but I did some research. I'm not entirely sure this is accurate but for one of the things 2 sources said it so yea. The other thing is I'm going by nj's cyberbullying laws. I'm just gonna do the best I can for this.
*After the cyberbullying incident.*
       Becky didn't understand why she and her friends had to get detention. According to the principal, it was because they fought back against Kelsey, Brittany, Ricky and Shad in the parking lot. Also, Kelsey and her friends had to pay a fine of $10,000, and because they broke a law, them and their parents had to take anti- cyberbullying classes because Kelsey, Ricky, Shad and Brittany are under 16.
       "Lastly, because these kids caused physical damage to you," Mr. Williams said. "They will be suspended for the rest of the year after a few weeks of detention. The last thing is between you all and me. Tell anyone and you'll be in for detention tommorow. Kelsey, Ricky, Brittany, and Shad are going to spend their summer in jueve, one half to catch up on the schoolwork they will miss and the other half doing whatever people do in jail. Before you leave, Rachel, I need to see you."
      It went by fast. Becky could tell that Rose was enjoying all of this. Becky didn't blame her. After all it was Ricky who put her in a hospital and Kelsey who traumatized Rachel and Sophie. Becky felt kind of bad but she didn't know why. Kelsey and her friends weren't going to mess with Rachel or anyone else again. But then again, the few anonymous people who cyberbullied Rachel were still out there. Becky sighed. All of places why had her parents decided to move here? She wanted to talk to Rachel but with Mr. Williams still here it wasn't an option.
     The next day, Rachel told them
"So......my mom talked with the teachers. She thinks.....that I should see the counseler because of my suicide attempt. She also doesn't want me near sharp objects because......yeah. The only exception with that is pencils in school. "
     "But you're not suicidal anymore. Right?" Becky asked, pulling a strand of blonde hair away from her blue eyes.
    "I'm not. But my parents are still worried about me." Rachel sighed.
      "What about Sophie?" Chad asked, giving a shy smile and looking at Rachel with concern. He was really concentrating on looking at her face.
       Rachel's pale cheeks turned scarlet red. Rose giggled, making Rachel flush even more.
      "My moms taking her to therapy. You know, because of what she saw with Kelsey. My mom's concerned about Sophie too." Rachel replied.
     "Oh wow." Becky said. "I'm just.....wow. This would never happen in my old town."
        Rachel frowned. "I'm sorry this had to happen so close to your move."
       "Don't be. It's not even your fault." Becky said.
      "Yeah, Becky's right. Don't be so sad about it." Chad tried to tickle Rachel but Rose slapped him.
    Becky laughed. Rose laughed.
       "Lighten up.  It's over. Or, it will be." Becky grinned.
     "Yeah." Chad said, rubbing Rachel's scared arms.
       "Unrelated topic, but I'm following Shawn Mendes on Instagram. "  Rose said. "Also Max broke his guitar. No more crappy music! YESS!"   
      Becky laughed again. "I'm actually glad I moved here."
