Sadie is a sociopath. Everyone knows that. People think she is a monster.  She was greeted everywhere by people with the hatred and resentment. Those people, to her were like mini-Javerts. Those people turned her to what they said she was. She is blamed for things, most of the time things she didn't do. No one trusts her. She wears the same bitter glare adults give her after just seeing her. She was extroverted, but she had no friends, often making her feel lonely. She was an outcast. As if 6th grade wasn't hard enough. Her grades were outright terrible. Her mother constantly scolded her, and often compared her to her cousins, who are all honor students, thus giving the impression of being the disgrace. Because of this she had many foiled suicide attempts, totally ruining her already horrible reputation.   One day, a transfer student moved next door, who coincidentally went to  the same school as her. The two had immediately became friends, due to having many things in common. Both were sociopaths. Both were shunned by society. But they were different. Sadie's new and only friend was bright, optimistic, and smart. Sadie was full of joy. She finally had someone who understood her. Was her new friend pushing her into the right direction?  Why? How? Read to find out.
