Comments: I thought the title was nice, but too long and didn't grab my attention at all. But it did give me a nice feel for the story.
Story Layout: [10/10]
Comments: The poster was very nice and the background was great. Everything was plain and simple, but there wasn't too much simplicity.

Comments: You gave away a lot of what will happen in the story. Now there isn't a mystery! Make it more vauge {ex. instead fo
Plot: [15/20]
Comments: From what I can tell there isn't a strong plot at all in this. It may be because there isn't enough chapters, so i'm not taking too many points off.

Flow: [8/10]

Total: [68/100]
Comments: I apologize a hundred times over for taking so long to do the review. First off, thank you for letting me review your story! There is a list of things that are bugging me a lot about your story...
Let's address the first chapter:
- No teachers are rude to their students {ex. sit next to "emo girl". }. It just seems unrealistic to have everyone against our main character.
- The parenthesis you have are not needed. You could have easily written a longer sentence.
Origional: The bell rang and a tall black haired female walked in wearing a white blouse (you could see her black bra underneath it), black skirt that reached her knees, and some high heels.
My version: The bell rang and the tall, haired, female walked in wearing a white blouse with her black bra showing through, a black skirt that reached her knees, and a pair of high heels.
- Adding "..." does not make things more dramatic. I know that you added a big scene about reveling that she was a 'cutter' but it just seemed choppy to have the "..." followed by the word than another "..."
Chapter 2:
- Again, "..." does not make things more dramatic.
- My biggest pet peeve is two guys fighting over a girl. I understand if they're both secretly in love with her {or a crush} but not what you have.
- Smoking to die sooner? As a smoker {Yeah, don't judge} it relieves stress, I litterly face palmed myself after I read that.
I hope this helps, I don't mean to be harsh...
A helpful tip for you would be to do a little research or read blogs about self harm, smoking, depression, etc.
