  Summary

  Even before coming out, Illi was always considered weird. She never really cared. She had a good friend group and was so close to getting her first boyfriend. It was even better because it was her best friend.

  Then senior year arrived. Suddenly, everyone decided to become assholes. Bullying became a regular thing for Illi, as well as drinking.
