I hoped life would get better when I moved to my mother's hometown, but it only got worse because it was there that I met my unrequited crush, Hayden Black. He despised me from day one, and even more when I became best friends with his twin, Kayden. Kayden gave light to my life, but my happiness with him lasted only until one night two years ago. That night Kayden died because of me. Half of me died with him. The other half was left to bleed, suffering Hayden's and his friends' constant bullying. Now I must endure one more year before I can finally escape them and go to college. This year has to be different. Either I will become stronger, or they will finally break me into nothing. ----------- Highest rank in Romance: #1 on 10/28/2017 Bullied won the Best Romance and the Best Diverse Book award and the Bullied series won the Best Trilogy/Series award in The Fiction Awards 2018. --------- I wrote this novel for #NaNoWriMo2016 #NaNoWinner2016

I was lost before I found you. Your presence gave me a reason to live, and I could never repay you for it. Just try to keep me alive, okay?

Katanya, aku genius dan hidupku kelewat serius. Padahal aku tidak merasa seperti itu. Oke, aku memang pernah menggelar pentas tunggal dari drama Shakespeare yang semua dialognya kuubah sendiri jadi bahasa Jawa waktu aku kelas lima SD. Waktu kelas empat SD, aku selesai menghafal seluruh isi KBBI. Aku bisa berbicara dalam bahasa Sansekerta dan memahami isi prasasti semudah orang-orang memahami isi majalah. Koleksi piala dan medali olimpiadeku (baik akademik maupun non-akademik) mungkin lebih banyak dari jumlah perempuan yang dilirik Zeus. Aku masih kelas sepuluh, tapi aku sudah iseng-iseng ikut beberapa TO SBMPTN, dan dapat nilai paling tinggi di antara anak-anak kelas dua belas. Dan banyak hal lainnya. Tapi menurutku, masih banyak hal yang belum kulakukan. Dan aku selalu merasa tidak puas kalau belum mencoba hal baru. Aku selalu penasaran. Namun, tidak pernah terpikirkan olehku, bahwa suatu hari, akan ada seseorang yang berkata bahwa aku harus mencoba jadi cewek normal. Jangan terlalu serius. Katanya, jadi remaja normal itu asyik. Nah, sudah kubilang kan, aku selalu penasaran? --- #10 in Teen Fiction [23/07/16] [cover by me + prohngs lol]
