Page "Speak (film)" Paragraph 3

As the year progresses, Melinda begins a painfully slow recapture of her confidence, with some help from Dave and her art teacher Mr. Freeman.

Her former friend Rachel ( Hallee Hirsh ) starts dating Andy ( the boy who raped Melinda ), and as the only other person who knows about the event, Melinda fears that Rachel will suffer the same fate.

Melinda finds Rachel at the library and tells her the truth about what happened at the party by writing it on paper.

At first Rachel refuses to believe her, but comes to realize the truth.
