Ashley Purdy. Popular high school student. All the girls want him. also a bully. Even the teachers are scared of him. Andy Biersack. Quiet loner. Not many friends. your average alternative kid. Bullied a lot. Ashley Purdy basically owns Melrose High. He has power over all the students and all the teachers. Everybody is scared of him, especially Andy. Ashley ruthlessly bullies Andy at every opportunity, both physically and emotionally; because he is different to most people, and he lives in a run down care home in the poor parts of the city. Andy has grown tired of letting everybody treat him like a piece of gum stuck to the bottom of their expensive Nike trainers. He wants to stand up for himself but just doesn't know how to go about it. However, having a specific pattern of events occur turned out in Andy's favour, and he found out one of Ashley's biggest secrets. Andy planned to use this against Ashley and bring an end to his social reign, but also take advantage of him. Nicely.
