I'd decided I wasn't going to let anyone walk all over me or bring me down, and I was surviving just fine. But then I met him. Masen Brown. I call him Barbie, though. Or Pudding Face. Or Walking STD. The list of insults goes on and on, I hate him that much. He's rotten to the core, a bully, a womanizer, and the cockiest guy I've ever met. I'm going to teach him his place. One way or another. He doesn't give in without a fight. He strikes back each time, though I'm not one to give up or be intimidated. He's going to see he's finally met his match in me. So, either he'll learn his lesson, or I'm going to make him learn it.

Scarred by an old incident, I hoped life in a new town would help me finally accept myself, but I was wrong because the big change brought something way worse. Blake Jones. I was on Blake's radar from the first day of our senior year, when he humiliated me in front of the whole school with a "welcome party." However, it wasn't welcoming at all, and it was just the start. Day after day, Blake was there to remind me I was fat and worthless, and the coward in me never let me defend myself. Until I finally exploded and fought back, right in the middle of class. But now? Now I have to pay the price because Blake won't let it slide. He'll make sure I regret it. Unless I manage to break out of his hatred and my all-consuming fears.
