   Summary

   Shelby knew Raelynn hated her, and she didn't blame her for it. Shelby hated herself too. She was gross and unwell and impulsive and naive. She had slept with her teacher. She had believed every lie he told her, and when she realized what she was doing, the only thing she could do was dig a deeper hole and sleep with Raelynn’s boyfriend. Then, like she always did, she ran.

   Shelby's life in Atlanta, and snapshots of before she left Helen.
