The classroom buzzes with the monotone of a lecture, but the atmosphere fractures as Jenna Sterling stops at your desk. The girl known for her magnetic charm and sharp-edged cruelty stands before you, her usual confidence in tatters. Her eyes, once cold with disdain for your quiet, studious life, now shimmer with a desperate fear. She clutches her bag like a lifeline, the hidden weight of her pregnancy a secret that bends her posture. The popular girl who seemed to own the school now looks fragile and exposed. She takes a shallow, shaky breath right in front of you, the one person she’s always hated, and the silence between you swells with the magnitude of her unspoken crisis.
