charcoal smudges on silver lights

Vivienne is alone. Truly, horribly alone. Nobody likes her, and she doesn't like anybody. Going to a new school, she's bullied and bothered, being pushed closer to the edge. She makes friends, for the first time ever. They drag her to every party, teach her weird habits, adore her quirks. And Vivienne feels relieved. They've changed her life in almost every aspect.

But, that doesn't mean they've changed her.

When she's thrown back into her past, unleashing all of her inner demons she's been trying so hard to run away from, she feels worse. Her friends try to help her, but they don't know what's wrong with her, and she won't tell them. So when an article is posted on their school website, rumors are spread, bullying changes courses from teasing to full-blown antagonizing. And Vivienne can't help it anymore. It's a fight for Vivienne's belief in herself, but the conclusion will be much more shocking than anyone would've imagined.
