@cloudlvr dude, first of all, if she tried to fight back things would've gotten worse eo ignoring them ( the bullying and rumors) was all she could. and how are they right, the mc didn't bully her, the mc simply kept a distance when from they were in middle school. and anyway the mc is dumb, i agree, she is desperate,that is because of the situation she is in, if you were bullied and had 0 friends, crappy parents, you would be desperate for friends at school too?? what she did is stupid but its realistic, some people just trust easily and take whatever they can get because they don't have anything else
