But the sad truth is, she just sees herself as dumb. She can't read to save her life, and every time she tries, the letters just see, to start jumping and changing on the paper. As a result, [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer she basically has no friends]], visits the principal's office on a regular basis, and is the favourite object of bullying by AlphaBitch Shay and her GirlPosse, including her [[BetaBitch number two]], Jessica.
