This is something I wrote from David Petrakis's POV. He is noticing Melinda, when no one else does.

This is a poem I wrote for the book.

It's done. It's over. Melinda has told what has happened to her, that means everything goes back to normal right? No. Everything is about to get a lot worse.

It's the first summer after her first year at NYU. Melinda doesn't really want to be back in Syracuse, neither does she want to see her ex-boyfriend that she left when she left the city. But we don't always get what we want. Or do we? It's been five years since she was raped, and she feels stronger, but can se survive this new obstacle, this new pain, this new heartbreak?

A nice day in the cafe with a few friends helps Melinda relax after a busy year.

Bianca James was once the free spirited, fun, and outgoing one everyone knew, until one day her life changed. She was raped by someone close to her and ever since had changed to a depressed girl. She keeps to herself now no friends or anyone to trust that is until she meets Ciara. Will she finally help Bee get by what happened or will she be stuck where she is? New version of Speak

Why did Rachel get dump Andy at the dance? The students of the high school think. Why didn't she dump him the minute she heard about Melinda? They concluded it was because she loved him, they made out in the hallways she drew his initials in her note book. They were in love, so what was she thinking? Rachel's POV. now revised

This is a story about a girl abandonmet

A poem we have to write for English. Reviews and criticism and anything would be nice so I can change this up and get a good grade :

What happens to Melinda after the book.

This is a mix of the two scenes from both scenes of "The Forest" in the Book And Film but it Is written How I Pictured The Scene As I Was Reading It And Made It A lot More Descriptive And It Is Narrated By Melinda And the writing style is Memory Form That is Why The Story Is In All Italics. I Sort Of Made my Own VersionOf What Happened.

This is an I Am poem I wrote about Melinda's rape.

When I walked through those glassy double doors, I felt my vision blur, my stomach knot, and sweat pouring down my face. Welcome to Robin High School.

She's not Melinda, but the two are very alike. She's the girl who sits in the back of the lunch room with an apple, the one who weighs herself before and after school everyday, the one who fears the girl in the mirror. But there's no avoiding yourself...

Just another day in MISS. HairwomanxMelinda, femslash. Rated for slight language and mentionings of sex.

A spin-off on life of author of the book Speak where it the narrator's generations before grandfather is the husband of the author of Speak. The narrator reflects on life as the first spring comes around.

Now everyone knows about Melinda. It's summer and everyone knows her secret. What will it lead to? David Petrakis? Art classes up at the U? Or maybe everything will stay the same. But the glares continue to mock her. What will Melinda end up choosing?

Well there is no Go Ask Alice category, so this isn't about triumph over rape. This is my true life story being written. Love, I guess. And the ways i hate myself at moments. but it's not a depressing story.

Melinda is a sophomore now. But what happened during that summer? Well find out. Flashbacks and what happened now. Kind of bad, yes I know, lol but I think it might be worth reading.

It's been a year since ... IT hurt her. Can she put her trust into the hands of a geek?

She tries to forget, but all she does is regret

A foreshadowing of how Ivy and Melinda socialize more and open up. Light spills through a crackling cocoon. Ivy's perspective.

He had never called her by her first name. And when he did, she didn't hear him. Rated T for one swear.

The title explains it all.

Just when everything seems to finally be going right for Melinda, something terrible happens to her. Can her friends help her fight back? Recommended to read The Truth and All I Know first. Last story in my Speak trilogy!
