Clare is desperate to escape, and struggling to fit in. She loses herself in creative writing and art, but entering into high school and meeting Sherry opens a whole new world for her. Sherry has no qualms about making up stories about the rest of the student body; she even includes the faculty in her imaginative tales. Mr. CZ, the assistant principal who Clare has dubbed Smiley, takes on a starring role. Sherry creates every detail from failed marriages to abuse of his fictional kids and Clare eats it up. It’s the exact thing she needs to distract her from her own troubles. Claiming to be a good friend of the assistant principal, Sherry is determined to get Clare in the same room with the man, but the ever-shy Clare manages to avoid every attempt.

Feeling more alone than ever, she’s desperate for a connection and the approval only an authority figure can give her. She finds that authority figure in Mr. CZ, but like everyone else in her life, betrayal is only one moment away.

Pages : 68
Book Description
"Sexual assault on college campuses...addressing the problem is thornier than it sounds. Should campuses adjudicate cases, or only police? What if the victim wants privacy or nobody's really sure what happened at all? These tricky questions propel the action in STUDENT BODY, Frank Winters's compelling drama... A group of buddies is hanging out in their campus's scrappy theater, surrounded by plywood and power tools, when a freshman arrives seeking advice. She has discovered video on her camera from last week's party, and amid the revelry is footage of what looks like a rape. Should she call the cops? Delete the file? What if the apparent victim was willing-or the apparent rapist was someone they know? As the group debates, argues, and eventually votes (then votes again, and again) on what to do, stories from that night emerge, revealing that everyone present played some role in what happened, and everyone has something to lose. ...Winters constructs it succinctly, keeping the focus on the difficult ethical questions, not on teary confessions of knowledge or guilt. After all, if nailing one culprit solved much, it wouldn't make for such interesting drama." Miriam Felton-Dansky, The Village Voice
