this is a shot book. short but depressing. it's interesting to see their interaction, how friendship that's build on mutual misery works. i never experience or saw this kinda bullying before in my life and it feels painful to even know what they have to go through everyday. it's sad how cruel people could be. how they have not even the slightest empathy for other people. i keep hoping it got better for them but it just doesn't. after all most things really do not have a happy ending in real life.
