They were my bullies once. Three boys I hated more than anything. They made my life hell for a year - until I escaped their cruelty when my dad's job moved us away. I've never forgotten them, though. Never forgotten what they did. And I know they haven't forgotten me. But when I'm offered a full-ride scholarship to the prestigious Clearwater University, I refuse to let old fears stop me from accepting. Because I'm not the girl I used to be. I'm stronger. Tougher. Angrier. And if West, Reese, and Trent think they can screw with me again...well. We'll just see who breaks first.

Everything in my life has been turned on its head. My allies have become enemies, and my enemies have become...I don't even know what.

The Icons got what they wanted. My life is a smoldering wreck because of them. But that doesn't mean I'm done fighting. What I did to Trent is just the beginning. He deserves so much worse for what he's done to me. West and Reese are no better. They told me they cared about me, but when it mattered most, they took his side over mine. My body still craves all of them. But my broken heart? It just wants to take all of them down.

Ava knew that her mother's emotions were destroyed, and the sack she was carrying was too heavy to carry around. Ava saw how religion positively transformed people, but sometimes it did the opposite. She wondered how it could mess up someone's mind. Ava didn't know whether her mom had depression, but she did know that her mom was using God as a shield to justify the adversities that were happening at that time.
