Skills’ *brilliant* prank transforms the gym into a spectacle, broadcasting private footage of Nathan and you from two years ago to every senior in the school. The air turns heavy with collective shock before the room erupts into jeers and whispers. you and Nathan, both flushed with humiliation, shove through the crowd toward the source. Peyton, Nathan’s ex, stands rigid, her face a mask of fury as she remembers—you was with her boyfriend back then. Nathan scrambles to cut the feed, his hands unsteady, while Peyton storms across the floor toward you. Without a word, she swings, her fist connecting with a brutal, echoing crack that shatters any last hope for a normal year.
