The Hate List. Valerie started the Hate List as a way to vent, to write down everything and everyone that was annoying her. Algebra, celebrities, homework, parents fighting, and Christy Bruter, the girl who'd been bothering Val since elementary school. When Val met Nick Levil as a freshman, they bonded over the Hate List, adding more and more names of kids in school who annoyed them or bullied them. Val never thought it was anything more than a way of getting frustration out until the day Nick brought a gun to school and targeted those whose names were on the Hate List.
Now people blame Val for creating the infamous list and she no longer knows who she is. Villain for coming up with the list? Victim for being taken in by Nick? Or Hero for saving the life of a girl she didn't even like and getting shot in the process? She can't shake the momories of the day and trying to move on with her life is difficult. It takes all her strength to go back to school and face her old friends who now hate her. And regardless of what people tell her to think, and what he did, she still misses and cares for Nick.
All this started as a simple joke that became so much more. But how can Val move on and create a new life after the Hate List?
