Summer had been the victim of bullying her entire life, since she was six years old. So when middle school starts, she's desperate to avoid ever having to suffer the same fate, even if it meant having to become a bully herself, bending to the every whim of the kings and queens of the school. But when Summer looks under the surface, she finds that what she's doing was not the meaningless game she thought it was, and her submission and protection came at the cost of ruining people's lives. And the next target was her ex-best-friend. Will Summer give up her protection if it meant stopping her friend's entire life from being ruined? Or would she stay safe and protected, even if it meant that someone else's life would never be the same again.
