Invisible To Her Bully Chapter 270
JessaThe house was quiet.Not the peaceful kind of quiet.The late-night kind where everything feels louder than it should.The refrigerator humming.The clock on the wall ticking.The faint sound of a car driving down the street outside.I was sitting on the edge of my bed with my laptop open in front of me.And the letter.The letter was sitting right next to it.I had already read it at least twenty times.Probably more.The words were practically burned into my brain.Congratulations.That one word had completely changed my world.At least… it could.If it actually happened.I picked the letter up again, even though I knew exactly what it said.The paper crinkled softly in my hands.My name looked strange printed at the top.Like it belonged to someone braver than me.Someone who didn’t hesitate.Someone who didn’t immediately start worrying about everything that could go wrong.I set the letter down again and looked back at the laptop screen.Numbers.So many numbers.Tuition.H

NoahIt was quiet in my room.Too quiet.The kind of quiet that makes your brain louder than it needs to be.I was sitting on my bed with my phone in my hand, staring at the ceiling like the answers to life might be written in the cracks in the paint.Which, spoiler alert—they weren’t.But my brain kept replaying the same thing over and over anyway.Jess.The ice cream place.The way she kept getting quiet.The way she kept starting to say something… and then stopping.I rolled onto my side and tossed the phone onto the mattress.“Okay,” I muttered to myself. “What the hell was that?”Because Jess had almost told me something.I knew it.I’d seen it happen.A couple times, actually.Once when we were talking about college.Once when I asked her if she’d applied anywhere else.She’d opened her mouth like she was about to say something real.Then backed out.Which wasn’t like her.Jess usually just… said things. Maybe awkwardly, maybe a little too honestly sometimes, but she didn’t usua

JacksonSomething was off with Jessa.And before anyone says anything—yeah, I know Jessa has always been a little… different.Quiet. In her own head. Thinking about things most people our age don’t bother thinking about.But this was different.This was weird even for her.I noticed it the second I walked into the house.I’d just gotten back from the gym. Ever since football season ended, Coach told a few of us seniors to keep lifting if we were serious about playing in college, so a couple afternoons a week I still headed over there.The house was quiet when I pushed the door open.Not empty quiet.Homework quiet.I dropped my backpack by the door and walked into the kitchen.Jessa was sitting at the table with her algebra book open in front of her.Her pencil was in her hand.And she was staring at the same page like it might bite her.“You gonna solve the equation,” I said, pulling out the chair across from her, “or are you trying to intimidate it into solving itself?”She blinked

JessaThe sundae was mostly gone.What was left had turned into that melted swirl of chocolate syrup and ice cream that nobody really admits they still like eating but secretly does anyway.Noah was leaning back against the booth, one arm stretched across the top of the seat like he had nowhere else in the world he needed to be.Which made the knot in my chest tighten a little.Because I wanted to tell him.I really did.The words were sitting right there, practically pushing against my teeth.I got accepted somewhere.It should’ve been easy.But it wasn’t.Because telling him meant more than just sharing good news.It meant opening a door to a conversation I wasn’t ready to have yet.What if I couldn’t afford it?What if my mom looked at the tuition and just shook her head because sending twins to college was already terrifying enough without adding out-of-state costs on top of it?What if I told Noah I might leave…And then it never even happened?That would just hurt him for no rea

NoahSomething was off.Not bad off. Not the kind where Jess looked upset or angry.Just… quieter.I noticed it right after lunch when everyone was celebrating Jackson and me getting the offers from State. Everyone else had been loud and excited, and Jess had smiled and said the right things, but there was something behind her eyes that didn’t quite match the moment.And the thing about Jess was…Most people thought she was hard to read.She wasn’t.You just had to pay attention.She’d gotten really good at pretending things didn’t bother her. Months ago she decided she wasn’t going to give Ridgeville the satisfaction of seeing her react anymore.But I could still see the difference.And all afternoon it had been there.By the time the last bell rang, I was done pretending I didn’t notice.She was at her locker when I walked up.“Hey,” I said.She looked up and smiled automatically. “Hey.”“How was your last class?”“Algebra,” she said with a small groan. “Which should answer that que

JessaThe hallway emptied faster than it had any right to.One second it was chaos—lockers slamming, people yelling across the corridor, someone sprinting like their life depended on making it to class on time—and the next it was just… quiet enough to hear your own thoughts.Which was exactly the problem.Because my thoughts had been getting louder lately.Noah was still walking beside me, our hands linked automatically like they had been for months now. It had become something natural between us—no hesitation, no awkwardness. Just a quiet understanding that we fit together there.He squeezed my fingers lightly.“You’re thinking again.”I glanced up at him. “Is it that obvious?”“Only to me.”Of course it was.I tried to smile, but it felt a little forced this time.Because my brain had not stopped replaying the conversation from lunch.Jackson and Noah both going to State University.Division One football.Full rides.Their futures were suddenly very real.And suddenly very clear.Th
