Blakely and Kya were inseparable throughout elementary school, but things changed quickly in middle school when Kya made new friends and left Blakely behind. It wouldn't have been so bad if Kya had just left her alone, but Blakely became a target for Kya and her new crew. It got so bad for her that she only saw one way out, it didn't work but it did finally make her parents realize just how bad things had gotten for her. After treatment, Blakely spent the next two years at a private boarding school but now she's back for her junior year and everything has changed.
