Her breath caught in her throat. Mark, the boy who had made her life miserable, now wanted to be her friend on social media. She had been crying all morning. She felt a new sort of exhaustion. She had been staying in bed all day, not wanting to do anything.

She switched off the phone, and curled up in the fetal position.
