Prologue
Voilet Evergarden
From a very young age, I was never the nicest person in the world. People were afraid of me because of my explosive temperament and my bad girl attitude. All of this was due to negative influences. I was bullied a lot at school, and things at home weren't easy either.
I live in Chicago with my parents and my older sister, Scarlett. She is a drug addict. She is now at home, but she spent last summer in a rehab clinic.
I have always had a strong personality. I have always lived by my own rules and not by others', and of course people judged me for that. The truth is that society hates it when a black girl is proud of her color and ancestry.
When I started elementary school, I moved to a new school with my friends: Yanu and Nazaré. So I didn't worry about the idea of having to make friends, but the idea of having to socialize was horrible.
Yanu is tall, thin, very annoying, intelligent, multilingual, and unbearable as hell, but she's manageable. Nazaré is short, blonde with wavy hair, just like Yanu, who is extremely unbearable, the school's running champion and cheerleader. She's the photographer for the school newspaper, and because of them I ended up joining the cheerleaders. They spent the previous semester asking for it, I couldn't stand it anymore, so this time I joined. It took a while for us to become friends, because we have very different tastes. But now we're a trio of insufferable crazy people. Everything was going well, but as the old saying goes: "all good things come to an end soon", I ended up crossing paths with my worst nightmare. That son of a b***h Stelvio O'Connor.
