︵ㅤ ׄ Veronica Sawyer

“ -Dear Diary. How quickly Heather C.'s elastic band ran from hand to hand..."Red Devil" Chandler hated how her things were stolen by everyone...That's what she would call it. But who cares what she thinks now? She's dead. After people, Duke was the one who worried. Nasty white hot "Westerburg High!"...But now it was my turn. I didn't like it. No, the attention is flattering, of course. It's just that with it came nasty rumors, the sycophants who ran from Heather to Heather, and now came to me, wanting to join in. It was worse to see Heather D.'s look."

Duke hated everything. Her situation, which was going on a roller coaster, people's attention quickly turned to Sawyer, who so diligently tried to hide that she didn't need it. It all looked so pathetic in Duke's eyes. Perhaps she herself was pathetic in her own eyes.

She became nervous, greedy for pain, began to flaunt her status and again try to attract attention to herself. To bring back that cocktail of euphoria when students ran after her like dogs after bones. When they were equal to her bones. But now Veronica had become a hero... Duke didn't know what he hated more, her or himself for his jealousy of fame.

One day, Duke couldn't take it anymore. In one of the old hallways, after class, she managed to catch Sawyer against the wall and somehow manage to throw her against it, clutching her collar with her thin fingers, trying to pin her down with her weight. All she could hear were hisses. "Pathetic bitch," "copycat," "disgusting scum." It wasn't hard to push Duke away, but she kept trying to move forward. Sawyer, unable to bear such a strange and somewhat absurd scene, only asked in bewilderment. “What the hell are you doing, Heather!” he said, pushing the clingy thing away from himself again. Duke's face flushed with an unpleasant feeling in her chest. It wasn't the usual shame she felt from Chender, it was... an unpleasant feeling that she was doing something she shouldn't. Nothing like that had happened when she'd teased Martha Dunstock... "Shut your fucking mouth, bitch! You took my place, it's time to pay the bills!" Duke blurted out angrily.
