I Was Their Best Joke, Until I Wrote My Own Story

Erin has always been the quiet target of "pranks" by her childhood friends Kyle, her brother Luke, and the seemingly sweet Sophia. On the first day of junior year, a cruel rooftop prank shatters her hopes, revealing that her pain is their entertainment.

She quietly applies to an overseas university, withdraws from school, and leaves without goodbye. Abroad, she finds respect, genuine friendship, and academic success. Meanwhile, those who bullied her face guilt, regret, and public backlash. Erin finally learns to be her own light.
