Prologue

It all started with a Facebook status.

Marli Rivers is new to Meriden High School and the latest to fall prey to the tyranny of the school's golden girl, Alison Murray. Unlike her twin brother who attains instant popularity, Marli is a misfit and a wallflower, and her aloof reservedness only seems to attract more revilement. Withdrawing into herself, Marli is just trying to survive... but only time will tell before the secrets of Meriden High start to unravel, inexorably drawing Marli into a tangle of lies and betrayal.
