I left behind the scared girl I was. I didn't want to be her anymore, and standing up to those who bully is what I should have done from the beginning, but it was different now.
It was easier when he hated me. The torture he put me through is nothing compared to the torture I battle every day because of my feelings for him.
I wanted to deny it all. Deny that it was even there, but I couldn't fool myself.
I had only a couple more months before I graduate and leave this wicked old town, but will I be able to escape my own feeling? Deny the spark I felt when I am alone with him?

Six months ago, I arrived in Enfield looking for a fresh start. 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.
