History

🌀 Start at Liberty High:

Hannah is new to school and trying to fit in. At first, she hopes to make friends and start over. She meets Justin Foley, with whom she has her first kiss, but he shares a distorted version of the moment, starting rumors that damage her reputation.

⸻

📉 Fall of his image and isolation:

After Justin, other boys like Alex Standall and Bryce Walker also contribute to her sexualization and deteriorating social image. Alex includes her on an offensive list, which fuels further harassment. Her friendship with Jessica Davis breaks down, and she begins to feel increasingly alone.
😶 Betrayals and silent wounds:

Hannah witnesses hypocritical behavior and suffers constant microaggressions. She sees how those around her ignore or minimize her suffering. Although she hides it with sarcasm or a smile, inside she begins to feel betrayed and empty.

📍 Before Valentine's Day:

Just before the "Dollar Valentine" event, Hannah is already emotionally vulnerable, worn down by rejection, rumors, and loneliness. She's still searching for any sign that she can trust someone.
