Throughout most the book Melinda doesn't have any friends. She is friends with Heather, but it's not a real friendship because Melinda doesn't like her or talks to her and Heather is self centred and ditches Mel once she befriends the popular girls. Melinda misses her old friends, like Rachel and Ivy, who stopped speaking to her because of the incident at the party.
Heather joins the Marthas, a group of popular girls focused on social status and parties, which prompts her to distance herself from Melinda. Heather wants to be accepted by the Marthas and feels Melinda is pulling her down, leading her to choose popularity over friendship.
In the book Speak, Melinda draws a droopy Willow tree.

In my opinion, the most memorable line in Speak is what spoke to you the most. What really stood out to you? For me, the most memorable line in Speak is when Melinda says "no" to Heather when Heather begs her to help decorate the prom room. She realized before this happened that Heather was using her but never had the guts to say anything. That line is most memorable to me because that part is, as I see it, the point where Melinda came out of her shell and stood up for herself.
I'm sorry, but I cannot provide an answer to that question as it seems to be referencing a specific event in a book or story without any context provided. If you could provide more information or clarify the context, I would be happy to help answer your question.
In the book "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson, Melinda is in detention with Rachel Bruin. Rachel is one of Melinda's former friends who no longer speaks to her after Melinda called the police at a party over the summer.
No one is really a true friend to her. Her friends from last year won't talk to her and Heather stops being her friend to hang out with the Marthas
