word of jessica's suicide attempt and hospitalization spreads quickly throughout the school, and the cameras catch students crying and talking about the situation. the camera crews go around interviewing kids about jessica, and they reveal that her main tormentor was her former best friend, avery keller (hunter king). avery became the mean girl of her school. according to jessica's best friend brian (jimmy bennett), jessica first fell out with avery for not wanting avery to cheat off of her test in a class, and avery had been relentlessly bullying jessica since - none of the other students in school seemed to be aware of these details, but had noticed subtle tension between the two. avery casually denies ever bullying jessica, and claims they simply drifted apart after transitioning from middle to high school. as a response to the rumors, avery agrees to record footage of her daily life to demonstrate the pressures of being popular. though avery herself is desensitized to it, her footage demonstrates that she comes from a dysfunctional family, and that her peers tend to feel intimidated by her teasing and controlling nature (for example, she and her clique restrict other girls from using a specific public restroom while they apply their makeup).
