"We are done with article writing. I am giving you a project work. You are to do it with your partners. I have put the list of names on the notice board", Mrs. Geyheart said as the bell rang.

I quickly packed my books and rushed to the notice board to see who my partner was. Courtney Williams and Olivia. Liv? Seriously? I shook my head and left the classroom.

Hanging out with Eleanor, Amanda and Barbara was always fun. We attended many parties and pulled the best of pranks. It was easy to go to these parties because Heather and Aaron didn't monitor me. So it was easy to sneak out and come in at any time. I soon got into a whole lot of trouble. Skipping classes and not doing assignments became a habit for me. I was called to the principal's office many times and was even threatened to be sacked from the school.

The Slam Book. It was created by me and funny comments teachers made in class were written in it. Also, students' comments about teachers and teachers' comments about other teachers were written in it. Being with Eleanor, Amanda and Barbara gave me a sense of belonging. I had never felt before. I knew deep within me that I had made the wrong choice of friends. I couldn't let them go. I wanted to be part of something great, big, and to me, this was it.

Detention. I hated this word so much. I was so angry with the teacher who had reported that I was skipping classes. The Slam Book had also been seized. He was going to pay for it. I had to take revenge.
