The familiar AP Computer Science lab hummed, a painful reminder of last year's public humiliation. My innovative app, once celebrated, shockingly showed abysmal results, while my boyfriend Ethan and Brittany unveiled an identical project, claiming victory. My mentor' s disbelief, the principal' s shame, and my parents' crushing humiliation broke me. Accused of fabrication, I spiraled into a dark, isolating breakdown. Now, back in the lab for senior year, the wound still fresh, Ethan sat beside me, his voice a disarming lull. Then, a thought, loud and sickeningly clear, echoed in my mind: "Keep coding, Maya! Every line brings me and Brittany closer to that MIT scholarship! Haha!" My blood froze; this wasn't clairvoyance, but a chilling memory of his internal monologue, played just for me. My dream, stolen by them, confirmed by his own mind - how was this possible? The origin of this bizarre ability didn't matter; knowing the truth, I suddenly had a second chance. They' d made their move, but they had no idea who they were truly dealing with this time.

The familiar AP Computer Science lab hummed, a painful reminder of last year's public humiliation.

My innovative app, once celebrated, shockingly showed abysmal results, while my boyfriend Ethan and Brittany unveiled an identical project, claiming victory.

My mentor' s disbelief, the principal' s shame, and my parents' crushing humiliation broke me.

Accused of fabrication, I spiraled into a dark, isolating breakdown.

Now, back in the lab for senior year, the wound still fresh, Ethan sat beside me, his voice a disarming lull.

Then, a thought, loud and sickeningly clear, echoed in my mind: "Keep coding, Maya! Every line brings me and Brittany closer to that MIT scholarship! Haha!"

My blood froze; this wasn't clairvoyance, but a chilling memory of his internal monologue, played just for me.

My dream, stolen by them, confirmed by his own mind - how was this possible?

The origin of this bizarre ability didn't matter; knowing the truth, I suddenly had a second chance.

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.
