Fall Away Series By Penelope Douglas - Reading from 'Bully (Fall Away #1)' from July 6th 2019

[Abi]

My name is Tate. He doesn't call me that, though. He would never refer to me so informally, if he referred to me at all. No, he'll barely even speak to me.

But he still won't leave me alone.

We were best friends once. Then he turned on me and made it his mission to ruin my life. I've been humiliated, shut out, and gossiped about all through high school. His pranks and rumors got more sadistic as time wore on, and I made myself sick trying to stay out of his way. I even went to France for a year, just to avoid him.

But I'm done hiding from him now, and there's no way in hell I'll allow him to ruin my senior year. He might not have changed, but I have. It's time to fight back.

I'm not going to let him bully me anymore.


Everyone welcome to join. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ she should think herself lucky she didn't get in trouble for hitting madoc like that! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ I can't believe he came into the changing room like that! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "Chapter 5 [spoilers removed]"

Yep!

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "Chapter 6 [spoilers removed]"

I know!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ I don't particularly like Ben. He just comes across as a little full of himself, and they have little in common. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Chapter 9 (view spoiler)[ cutting off the electricity was a good idea! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Chapter 11 (view spoiler)[ the thing with Jared getting her to catch Liam cheating was a little suspect, but Liam obviously was cheating. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Chapter 12 (view spoiler)[ it was a bit weird the way kc stuck up for Jared. I still don't like Ben. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "Chapter 7 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I don't like him yet either. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "Chapter 11 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yep. Jared's a jerk, and he planned this so she'd find out that he's cheating, but at least she knows what Liams like now. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "Chapter 12 [spoilers removed]"

Yep.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Chapter 13 (view spoiler)[ 'you're on my bucket list' doesn't sound exactly flattering. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ kc and Jared together is so wrong. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Chapter 18 (view spoiler)[ the monologue was weird. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "Chapter 15 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ It really is. I can't believe she finds him attractive when she knows what he's put her best friend through! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Chapter 19 (view spoiler)[ and now she's kissing the guy who bullied her, and while she thinks her best friend is dating him! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 23 (view spoiler)[ Ben is such an ass! I can't believe he got so drunk and still intended to drive!
JAred shouldn;t really have beaten Nate up, but it was bad that he was basically trying to rape her! (hide spoiler)]

chapter 24 (view spoiler)[ is he nuts?! driving without the lights on?!
he bullied her because he loved her. hmm. not the best way to show someone you care!
and then he tells her that she's always been his! cheek! (hide spoiler)]

chapter 25 (view spoiler)[ 'Jared's all yours', she already kissed him!
Can't believe Madoc asked her to homecoming. (hide spoiler)]

chapter 28 (view spoiler)[ darn piper. like she has any control over him! (hide spoiler)]

chaapter 29 (view spoiler)[ she so wasn't planning on doing that when she went to his house! (hide spoiler)]

chapter 30 (view spoiler)[ awful that he didn't want people to know they were together! (hide spoiler)]

chapter 31 (view spoiler)[ umm, cake! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "Chapter 19 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I can't believe she'd want to kiss him after everything he's put her through! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 23 -25

(view spoiler)[ Can't stand Ben!

That is the most ridiculous reason for bullying someone ever. If you loved them, you wouldn't put them through that! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Chapter 31 - (view spoiler)[ It's bad that they were getting beat up, but i hope he doesn't try to use it as an excuse as to why he's an arse. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 32 (view spoiler)[ i can't believe they had sex in the porch! not exactly private! (hide spoiler)]

chapter 33 (view spoiler)[ Madoc's explanation is pants! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 34 (view spoiler)[ he got a tattoo of a lantern for her? I'm not sure that's all that romantic when you consider how he bullied her! I'm not sure I'd trust him if I was her! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 35 (view spoiler)[ NO! I can't believe it! someone recorded them having sex? why would she believe that it's JAred though? he didn't even want to have sex in that room - he wanted to go home? how would he have sex up the recording?
and now she's smashing u his car?! is she nuts?! she has no proof that he did it! he could be as much a victim as she is?! he will not be happy about her smashing up his car!! is she nuts?!! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 35 (view spoiler)[ I am embarrassed for her! She is going to hate herself when she realises it wasn't him! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 36 (view spoiler)["Do you do threesomes?"
I'll admit i laughed at that!

Damn you Jared for not even trying to speak to her though! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

OMG. This is actually pretty good right now!

[Abi]

chapter 33 [spoilers removed]"

I know!

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 34 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Definately takes the romance out of it! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 35 ."

(view spoiler)[ I don't get why she thought it was him either. I know he's been a jerk the past few years, but it didn't make any sense for it to be him.
I was thinking the same about the car! Make sure he's done it before you start smashing his car up! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 35 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ It's going to be such a 'Oh, shit!' Moment! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "OMG. This is actually pretty good right now!"

chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ what kind of a neanderthal takes a sledgehammer to their car to give their teenage next door neighbour a project?! (hide spoiler)]
