I love this.

Poor Olivia, what she needs most is understanding and support and instead she feels like even her mother thinks she's crazy. It's so hard to feel so misunderstood. Olivia needs a good real friend, I know she has her hallucinated friends but they're not enough.

I think this flashback was well-placed, it helps the reader understand Olivia and her situation more, it helps the reader empathize more with her.

I hope things get easier for Olivia soon.

...LOVE AT FIRST WORD.

...Well, I could go on but then this would be very,very long.

Aweshum! Me likeses, and me-sa vants to read more! XD

"Bad for the school record"... Yeah... I thought that if a student died in school, the school closed, like, permenantly... But then again, it might only be in school time or something... Probably not... But still... Ah well, ignore me. XD

Eh, antisocial misfit! Lol! Just makes me think of me and my friend... Who wants to go out? Out with friends - what is this strange notion? Now - sitting inside with a book - that's something we undertsand! XD

Jessica? Who? Eh, memory... I'm guessing she's been mentioned before, but...

Of Mice And Men... XD! We read that for English earlier this year, and I got a bit sick of it for a while... Now it's Romeo And Juliet which I don't want to hear another word about now, though... XD

Oh, a friend of Rhona's, then... Okay... Can I just say, have we met Rhona? Was she the one who was bullying Olivia or whatever you wanna call it in the music room? Cause I can't remember...

"I'm sorry, too"... That's quite sweet.. :)

Ha! The new Twilight film! Eh! Lol! Sorry... I just kinda find that funny... Only the girls who we call the "plastics" are still obsessed with Twilight at our school... XD

That seems like a kinda... abrupt end... And it seems kinda random, just some random girl asking Sha to go see a film after all that stuff about murder and stuff... Yeah... I'm sure it's not random, but still...

I likes! Write more soon! XD

(I finally caught up on the chapters I missed! Yay!)

Aah... To say that I wondered whether Violet was real or not, it's slightly shocking and quite sad when you realise that she actually, really isn't... And that even if she's only in Olivia's mind, she can still turn on her like that... It's also quite strange to think that I'm sat here reading like "No! Violet's real! Olivia's right! Mrs Johnson /must/ listen to Olivia! Mrs Johnson's crazy because she can't see Violet!" even though I know Olivia's kinda the crazy one... Ah well. I think I /am/ reading this backwards now... Ah well... I'm sure I read up to chapter 9, which I strange because I know I didn't read this before... Ah well. XD

Did I not review this chapter? Apparently not, and I know I've not read it. What about the one before? Because I might as well just start reading this story backwards if I've not read it. XD Anyways. Likes. Me likes. XD I'll go see if \i recognise the previous chapter now...

Interesting... :D

I'm catching up on all the stories I still have alert email for which I've not reviewed, since I have some free time right now (okay, so I do have homework from Friday that needs finishing, but no-one needs to know that...). Most of them are yours... XD

This chapter left my head spinning. I don't quite know what to think about Rhona's death. I'm left wondering if Olivia had anything to do with it.

I'm also confused by Katie's movie invitation to Sha, there's something strange about that.

I feel bad for Sha, that her mom's rarely around. I would hate it if my mom were gone that often. I have a really close, loving relationship with my mom.

I feel so bad for Olivia, she's just such a vulnerable seeming character, you know the kind of person you want to reach out and hug but are afraid to because you might squeeze too hard and break her.

I know from my own experience that mental illness can be so alienating. Nobody else really seems like they can understand you or where you're coming from.

I wish that Dr. March would be a little kinder and a little more gentle with Olivia, she won't get through the walls Olivia has built around herself, unless she softens up a lot.

Hey :3 I wanna let you know I've really enjoyed you're story. And there's probably other people too like me that are too lazy to log in and say so. I guess I'm sort of picky I only like a few stories here my top two is this one and "The PregnancyPact" and I haven't told her that because she's taking forever to update. Mwahaha revenge mwahaha

What an intereting turn of events. I do feel sad for Rhona, but I'm even more worried about Olivia's reaction to Rhona's death. Sha was right, it was odd that Olivia was so detached from the death of a fellow student, even if Olivia never liked Rhona, you would still think she would have more of a reaction.

I also feel bad for Sha. She's so sweet the way she cares so much about Olivia. I hope that she doesn't stop being Olivia's friend out of fear of being called weird. Olivia needs a friend.

This is my favorite chapter so far. I feel so bad for Olivia because in so many ways she is similar to me. I started hearing voices when I was younger and they used to be nice and than they got meaner as I got older.

I hate how mean Olivia's mom was about everything. That always just makes things worse and the poor girl was suffering enough already. When I first told adults in my life about the voices I was hearing they accused me of lying and that crushed me and led to a suicide attempt.

This flashback of Olivia's earlier life makes my heart break for her even more.

This is a really touching chapter, and I'm intrigued - is it really Olivia who died? I don't need to tell you I'll read to find out. XD Keep writing! XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD

I really hope that Olivia is okay. I'm worried about her, something about her makes me feel like she is rather defenseless.

I really can't figure out why there was that mess in Olivia's locker and that makes me nervous. I also feel bad for Sha because feeling responsible for another's well being is a heavy weight to bear for anyone, but especially for a child.

I like the way you ended this chapter with those two hard-hitting lines.
