"The real poverty is inside you, not in your bank account. You think the world owes you everything. When you can't have something, you resent the people who do. You hate them and try to destroy them. You think everyone owes you, so you turn the whole world into your enemy. Viola… That's the most pathetic thing about you." Her mouth opened, but she could not speak.

“Then, I read this. That man lost almost everything. The world around him fell apart, and he just kept going.

Even school kids are able to come up with ridiculous things like a my homework ate my dog,” he says shaking his head. “I would have to think of a different lie everyday then, Sir,” I say.

Brenda G _____ Ever felt like you're the worst person on the planet? Well, that's me. I had a list of reasons to prove that I was indeed the worst person in the universe. The first reason being, I lied to my best friends Sam and Dulcie. The other day, during the whole Jake and me incident, I managed to cook up a convincing lie in order to explain why Jake and I were both naked in the water. Of course, I used the skinny diving story as an explanation. I could sense by the suspicious looks from Dulcie and Sam, that they weren't fully convinced but they chose to let it slide. Or didn't they?

"Maybe meeting with him wasn't the best idea either of us could come up with." "Not quite the contrary, I'm glad I met with him. He spoke facts. He was true about every word that slipped from those lips and I am thankful because heaven knows I needed the honesty in my life." I seethed, my demeanour changing instantly.

"Alpha Carlen, here is the flash drive you dropped." Right, I had left him a flash drive. I must've wanted to tell him how to earn my forgiveness through this. Clinging to that final thread of hope, Carlen hurried to plug it into the computer. The video played. Scene after scene showed Lily provoking and framing me inside the estate.
