  • First day of high school

    On the first day of school, Melinda sees all her old friends, but they refuse to talk to her. They pretty much forgot about her, after she called the cops at the party and got them busted. Melinda meets Heather, who is her only friend at this point.

  • Art class

    The only class Melinda likes is her art class. She feels like this is the only way she can escape and express herself without feeling judged.

    Shortly after school starts, Melinda finds an abandoned janitors closet. She thinks, sleeps, draws, and gets away from school while she sits in there.

    Heather tells Melinda she doesn't want to be friends with her anymore, so Melinda is now friendless.

    Andy and Rachel (Melinda's ex best friend) start dating, and Melinda doesn't know how to react. So she just lets them be for a while.

  • Confession

    Melinda tries to tell Rachel what happened and to be warned about Andy, but Rachel doesn't believe her. She thinks Melinda is just jealous of her and Andy's relationship.

  • Second attempt

    Melinda decides she can't just hide in the janitor's closet anymore, so she's in there cleaning out her stuff when Andy comes in. He attempts to rape her again, when she breaks a mirror and threatens him to get off of her. Thankfully, people hear her screaming and come to her rescue.
