A lonesome teenager in the 1980s makes unlikely friendships and learns to love herself.
Hattie Erickson has never been popular. She never had any friends and was basically invisible to the world. People knew her as that weird girl who draws all the time, reads comic books, watches nerdy movies, and writes in a diary. This had never bothered her until freshman year of high school where she must venture through it as a weird girl without the help and guidance of her father, who died recently, and instead with her mother, the perfect blonde cheerleader-type woman who had been the most popular at her high school. By joining the most powerful clique in school, Hattie's days of unpopularity seem to be behind her, despite the fact she sacrifices her personality in order to fit in with people who treat her with no respect. Come senior year, she finds herself friends with Aubrey Goodman, Mona Bailey, Bonnie Salvage and Wanda Warner. The four of them are by far the most hated and unpopular people at the school. Hattie senses there is more to them than meets the eye and discovers their biggest secret. Realizing how much she'd rather be their friend, Hattie has to make a tough decision. Should she remain popular and make it through high school in one piece, or pursue a friendship that can bring both happiness and danger?

A blank doll with acting and action running in her veins, Freia woke up in a hospital with no memory of what brought her there. Sure, the doctors said a car crash delivered her there, but it didn't feel like it. They said her family's dead but how come Freia didn't feel like that was true? Her very first visitors were her adoptive parents, Fabio and Darlene Hunter. She had four friends that stuck with her ever since she could remember, literally. That is until one who was dear to her was killed, in front of her. Of course, she was devastated. Why would that be a question?

I gotta say, why would you believe something that was written and altered by humans from outside? Would you even put your trust on the person who doesn't let you out unless he wants you to? Read on as we see Freia and her friends struggle to find their places in the world they thought they knew of.

There's Max Bordel, reuniting with his long lost friend group, finding a job at a local diner and making harmless pranks. One Biology assignement and one meal of nachos and cheese fries can easily bring those two together. **** author - "Please be aware of strong language and short chapters.
