April Mendez is the school's psychopath. She's the girl you turn away from, the girl you whisper about in the halls. Does she mind it? Sometimes.

Yes, she'd prefer rumors about her be said to her face, and yeah, she prefers her old friends give explanations why they believe said rumors, but that's not the reality she could have in a world where a mentally unstable girl wasn't listened to, but instead - talked over.

A girl is supposed to act with class, or with enough dignity to have what society called "self respect." When she embarrasses herself, it's her fault. When she defends herself, it's her fault. When she's singled out, it's her fault. And AJ had to learn this the hard way.

Slut shamed by the same friends she defended for being cheated on.

Bullied by the same people who claimed to care about her well being.

Suspensions thanks to fighting over altercations she never started.

A tarnished reputation her emotions had no control over... all because she liked a boy.

Where was the justice in that? And why did she have to go back to it?
