The main character in the book Speak is Melinda Sordino. Before the party and before school started, Melinda was a happy, fun, and outgoing teenager who had lots of friends. She was full of energy and everyone loved to be around her. But ever since that party, she has been completely different. Now she's quiet, awkward, lonely, and depressed. The only person that will talk to her is Heather. Everyone else hates Melinda, even people she's never met in her lifetime. That party completely changed her forever, and things will never be the same.
Heather is one of the other main characters in the story. She is a new girl who has just moved to Melinda's school. On the first day, Melinda and her talk and become their only friends. Heather is everything Melinda was before the party; fun, outgoing, excited, and always full of energy. She never went to the party and has never heard about what Melinda did, so she has no reason to hate her. So far, Heather always has a positive attitude and is always wanting to get involved with the communtiy and her school. She seems like a girl who does good in school and never gets involved with the wrong kids.
There is one more character that I've been introduced to who is more of a side character. It is Rachel Bruin; a young, pretty, popular teenager girl. Before the party and everything, her and Melinda used to be best friends. They would hang out every weekend and talk about the new gossip that happened. But now, Rachel acts as though they were never friends. She wants nothing to do with Melinda and doesn't care to hear about her side of the story. Rachel is very outgoing girl who has many friends, so losing one doesn't make a big difference to her.
