Tommy Reihart: In the third marking period we learn the truth about Melinda. Why everyone hates and ignores her. Why she has no friends. Melinda tells about a party that she had gone to the summer before her freshman year. After having a few beers herself she is found alone by a very drunk senior, "IT". She is taken control of and raped. She gets a phone and calls the police. The party is ended, few taken away by police and all hating Melinda. This is why everyone hates Melinda, but no one knows the truth but her.

In the beginning Melinda has no friends, now she has got Heather and we learned that she was raped at a party and that's why she called the cops and why everyone hates her, but no one knows the truth about her.~Chau.

Malinda called the cops because she was raped at the party by Andy. Heather also stopped being Malindas friend. Truman S

Melinda gets sent to M.I.S.S because the teachers found out she was cutting school. Also, Mr. Freeman thinks that Melinda's imagination is paralyzed so she studies Picasso's "Cubism". David invites Melinda over to celebrate to win of the basketball team, but Melinda "doesn't do parties" Instead, Melinda goes out onto the porch roof and remembers s about the night of the party.

Melind also went to a party. she is then hated by the whole school because she called the cops because she was in troubleand needed help. the whole school thought she did that to bust the party. - Michael G

In this chapter Melinda is serverly struggling with her social life. Heather told them that they could not be friends and she also turned down going to a party for the basketball team. Instead choosing to go lay up on the roof and remember the night of the party that she went to that made her the way she is now. - Jacob Yerkey.

the summary of the book is about a girl named melinda that got raped and went to a party and called the cops and lost all her friends and feels as if everyone hates her so through out the year she meets heather and at the end everyone finds out andy raped her- danny baginski

Melinda Sordino busted an end of summer party by calling the cops. Now her old friends won't talk to her, and people she doesn't even know hate her from a distance. The safest place to be is alone, inside her own head. But even that's not safe. Because there's something she's trying not to think about, something about the night of the party that, if she let it in. And then she would have to speak the truth. ~Krishna Patel
