“We don’t even know if she’s blonde anymore.”
“On the positive side, her hair could have burned off from all that dye.”
June rolled her eyes. “I’m not going to say be nice, and I hate that I’m
even thinking it. I’m a big believer in karma. I usually let that take its

“I don’t know. I didn’t see her.”

when she was pulling pranks on June like putting stinky meat trays with
congealed meat juice and blood in her locker, trapping her in the bathroom
and forcing her to have a freaking clown makeover done by a little squad of
popular girls eager and ready to follow any and all orders, or pushing her
