Hailey Scott, the unnoticed girl in a school filled with teenagers. That feeling in her gut when she felt others' eyes on her when she entered the school, a classroom, her home.
To have that feeling that everyone disliked you for just your presence being near someone.
Hailey had that feeling every time she'd been around her mother. She'd constantly give her that disgusted look, as if she wasn't even her child.
Ugly, worthless, fat, and unwanted? That was all her traits, known by all, even herself.
But when she's moved to a whole new crowd when people learn more about her, things change. For the good, or the bad.

They say envy's the best form of flattery. But in my world that is the greatest dreadful feeling ever. You wanna know why? Well because it drives you mad; it makes say and do crazy things. Crazy things like hurting yourself, blaming yourself for mistakes others made. But it's so satisfying to the ones that think they've won. No one really wins. But for the ones who aren't being admired, we pretend to be them, and we love it. And it's when we die that's when we matter, we're no longer tortured by the obsession.Complete
