FabelFrenzy
DESCRIPTION:
The fresh coat of paint on the walls of Westerburg High can't wash away the stench of blood, charcoal, and liquid drain cleaner.
Three months after surviving a toxic social hierarchy, an accidental poisoning, and a homicidal boyfriend with a passion for dynamite, Veronica Sawyer has one simple goal for the rest of her senior year: keep her head down, graduate, and escape this radioactive hellhole. No more cliques. No more red scrunchies. No more body counts.
Alongside a healthier, recovering Martha Dunnstock and her fiercely protective, delightfully nerdy brother Jedidiah, Veronica is finally trying to build a world where high school doesn't feel like a combat zone. For a fleeting moment, it feels like life can actually be beautiful.
But peace is a fragile thing at Westerburg, and a power vacuum never stays empty for long.
When a cruel new Queen Bee steps up to resurrect the old regime, the cycle of brutal bullying triggers a dark, catastrophic spark in the shadows. Janice-the invisible girl from the sidelines, haunted by past betrayals and pushed past her absolute breaking point-decides that traditional survival isn't enough anymore.
If the system won't change, she will change the rules herself.
Now, a new shadow is falling over the school corridors. The blazers are coming back, but they aren't for fashion icons anymore-they are for enforcers. Driven by an unhinged desire for social justice and personal vengeance, Janice sets out to create her own "Heathers" squad with the help of the vulnerable, angry students just like her. And this time, anyone who gets in their way will be permanently removed.
