Invisible To Her Bully Chapter 278
JessaBy the time I realized how long I’d been staring at my laptop, the sun had already dropped low enough that the light in my room had turned that weird golden color that meant the day was almost gone.Again.Another afternoon.Another few hours spent digging through college websites, financial aid pages, and scholarship listings that all seemed to say the same thing.Not enough.I leaned back against my bed, rubbing my eyes.“This is impossible,” I muttered.My laptop was balanced on my knees, the same five tabs open that had been open for days now.Tuition calculators.Scholarship databases.Financial aid forums.Every once in a while I’d find something promising.Then there would be some requirement I didn’t meet.Top academic award.Perfect GPA.Leadership positions.Athletic scholarships.Things that belonged to people who had spent high school thriving.Not surviving.My bedroom door suddenly swung open.“Jess, seriously.”Jackson stood in the doorway, looking like he’d just

JessaThe worst part about keeping a secret from someone you care about is how normal everything else still feels.Lunch went on like any other day.Jackson and Shane argued about something stupid.Mariah rolled her eyes at them every five seconds.Noah sat next to me like he always did, his knee bumping mine under the table every once in a while without either of us really noticing.It should have felt normal.But inside my head, nothing felt normal anymore.Because every time Noah looked at me, I kept thinking the same thing.Just tell him.And every time the thought came up…I froze.Not because I didn’t want him to know.But because once I said it out loud, everything would change.I sat there half listening to the conversation while pretending to scroll through my laptop.Scholarships.Financial aid.Deadlines.Every website looked the same after a while.Apply.Write an essay.Submit transcripts.Wait.Hope.Repeat.My eyes were starting to blur together from staring at the scre

NoahBy lunchtime I was officially convinced something was going on.Not in a dramatic “my girlfriend is secretly a spy” way.But definitely in a “something is rattling around in her head and she’s not telling me yet” way.I spotted Jessa the second I walked into the cafeteria.She was already sitting at our usual table with Mariah, her tray untouched in front of her.Her laptop was open.Again.She had been doing that a lot lately.Research mode.The same look she got when she was trying to solve a problem she hadn’t figured out yet.Mariah was talking.Jessa was nodding.But she wasn’t really listening.I could tell.After five months together, you learn the difference between someone hearing you and someone pretending to.I slid into the seat beside her.“Morning.”She jumped a little.Not dramatically.But enough that it made my eyebrows lift.“Hey,” she said quickly.Mariah smirked from across the table.“You snuck up on her.”“I walked normally,” I said.“That’s your version of

JessaThe next morning I woke up with the same thought sitting on my chest.I should’ve told him.It had followed me to bed.It followed me into sleep.And apparently it planned on following me into the rest of my life too.I stared at the ceiling for a minute before rolling over and grabbing my phone.6:42 AM.Too early to be awake.Too late to pretend I could fall back asleep.I sat up, pulled my laptop onto my lap, and opened it before my brain could talk me out of it.The email appeared instantly.Congratulations!University of Oregon.Every time I read it my heart did this weird mix of excitement and panic.Getting accepted had felt like a miracle.Figuring out how to actually go there felt like climbing Everest in flip-flops.I clicked through the financial aid page again.Tuition.Housing.Meal plan.Books.The numbers were so big they barely felt real.My stomach tightened.Even with financial aid… it still looked impossible.“Great,” I muttered.I opened another tab.Scholars

JessaI should’ve told him.I really should have.The words kept echoing in my head long after Noah left.I was still sitting on the couch where we’d been talking, staring at the door like somehow he might walk back in and give me another chance to say it.But the truth was…I wasn’t ready.Not yet.Not unless I had some sort of plan.Because the more I kept digging into what it would actually take for me to go to a school across the country…The more my hopes were dimming.I opened my laptop again, even though I already knew what I was going to see.Tuition.Housing.Fees.Travel.Numbers.So many numbers that they didn’t even feel real anymore.I stared at the screen, my stomach twisting.“This is impossible,” I whispered.Because every time I thought I might have figured out a way…Another cost popped up.Another obstacle.Another reminder that dreams weren’t free.I leaned back against the couch and closed my eyes.I really need to get out of Ridgeville.The thought came hard and

NoahI tried to do homework.I really did.But after Jackson’s call, that was pretty much a lost cause.The same paragraph in my history book had been staring back at me for twenty minutes, and I still had no idea what it said.Something about the industrial revolution.Or farming.Or possibly both.I shoved the book away and leaned back in my chair.Jackson’s voice kept replaying in my head.Have you noticed your girlfriend acting weird this week?Then the part that stuck even more.You really need to talk to her.Which was exactly the kind of vague warning that could mean absolutely anything.And my brain had already decided to jump straight to the worst possible conclusion.Breakup.I rubbed my face.“Okay,” I muttered to myself. “This is stupid.”Because if Jessa was actually planning to break up with me…Jackson probably wouldn’t be casually telling me to go talk to her.Right?Unless he was trying to soften the landing.I groaned and pushed my chair back from the desk.Now I was
