Title: Chapter 1: Bios
@Nostory.
"I'd just add that Wendy is not that cruel, she wouldn't intentionally do something that would kill Alvin or hurt him seriously. Even at her worst she was able to control her blows to the point that Alvin would not be hospitalised."
Isn't that because else her mother would find out what she was doing to Alvin al that time? She is sneaky too.
What do you think what she would have done if Cassie posted those photos of him and mentally break him. Would you think Wendy would mind that she totally destroyed his life? The answer is no.
And the manner how she tries to apologize to Cassie in chapter 13. That arrogant tone and how she is setting the terms of how that discussion must take place. Al her sentences make you cringe with disgust. Here we have a few.
Wendy:
“Point taken, now can we talk in a more private place? My personal life isn’t supposed to be broadcasted to the entire school,” Cassie relaxed her grip which gave Wendy an idea.
“No matter how much you think it, I’m a not monster. At least, I didn’t start out as one, no ever becomes one just like that,” Wendy snapped her finger.
“ Thank you Cassie, it’s the first nice thing you’ve done for me,”
“ I’d like to continue, if that’s fine with you,”
I don't mind. I like those discussions and different views. I'm also interested in the view the writer has.
Author's Response: That and the laws covering the abuse of a smaller size leave you with no room to breathe once you get caught.
If Cassie had done that, Wendy wouldn't have been bothered at all, she'd just go right in and laugh at him.
You're probably going to ask, why doesn't Alvin report Wendy to the police then? Or any adult to get rid of her?
As a victim of bullying, I tell you its not that easy and even after I did , the adult either didn't do enough or brushed it off as teasing and told me to be less sensitive. After a while you just learn to put up with it, that's it.
It was supposed to be in a more sympathetic light, the first part especially of the quotes you brought up but it could be due to my subpar description of the scene that led you to believe otherwise. the third line too. In fact all of these are supposed to be from a girl trying to be polite.
I've always wanted to write a story that got the readers into discussions with either each other or the writers involved.
