This is a story of Lizzy and Beth. They are friends at a school where the school bullies make Lizzys life Hell... At least until Beth comes along. Will Beth change Lizzys life better... or worse.
Eyes were everywhere. They were in the halls. They were by the lockers. Heads turned everywhere she walked. She tried to hold her head high. Maybe she held it a little too high, as a sequined designer shoe stretched out and tripped Lizzy as she walked. Lizzy fell and landed in a puddle of water left over by the janitor and hit her chin-hard-on the laminate floor. Maybe this was all one big nightmare. Nope. That definitely hurt. The popular all threw their pretty heads back and laughed their high pitched laughed. None were louder than Sophie's. She opened her lipstick covered mouth and hissed the words: "Get lost LOSER!" Just the sound of Sophie's voice made Lizzy want to puke all over the bully's designer purse and run far, far away to any place other than this. All she wanted was a friend in this pit of a school. And she always thought school was a place of learning, she mused, all I have learned is to cover and moisturise my face more often. Or, I could leave town, create a new identity, and get a job when I turn eighteen. At least it would be better than being here. With Sophia Turner.
