Chapter 11: you’re crazy

When Norah got back to her dorm, Mary was already sprawled across her bed, phone in hand, grin wide enough to split her face.“Well, well, well,” she sing-sang the moment Norah stepped in. “Look who went viral.”Norah froze mid-step. “What?”Mary turned the screen around, and there it was—the photo. Ivan leaning down, her chin tilted just enough to look like… Her stomach flipped.“You’re blushing in the picture too,” Mary teased, wagging her brows. “Don’t even try to deny it. You two look like you’re about to—”“Stop,” Norah hissed, heat rushing to her cheeks. She dropped her bag with a thud. “It’s not what it looks like.”Before Mary could needle further, her phone buzzed across the desk. Caller ID lit up: **Kim**.Mary snatched it up. “Ooo, even Kim’s calling to congratulate the campus sweetheart.”Norah snatched it back and answered, already bracing.“Girl!” Kim’s voice burst through, equal parts excitement and disbelief. “You are everywhere online right now. My group chat is blowi

Chapter 12: “She’s done”

Norah didn’t sleep. Not really. She just lay there—staring at the ceiling—eyes burning. Ivan’s text looped in her head.Next time. It won’t just look like a kiss.Every time she shut her eyes—boom—it was back. The heat of his breath. All those faces. Her chest kicked like it wanted out. By morning she felt hollow and heavy, like she’d carried those words all night.Monday wasn’t any kinder. The uniform felt wrong, too tight around the waist, sleeves tugging at her shoulders. The skirt kept riding up when she walked. She fussed with it the whole way down the hall. Papers slid in her grip as she stepped out of the professor’s office, distracted. A phone somewhere clicked—soft, quick—but she didn’t notice.Rose had noticed.From across the hall she lowered her phone, studying the shot. Norah, tugging at her blouse, the professor’s door closing behind her. Nothing to most people. Gold to Rose.She hugged the phone to her chest, grin sharp. “She won’t even see this coming,” she whispered.

Chapter 13: Miss Perfect

Norah stepped out of the administrator’s office feeling two inches shorter. Suspended. She and Professor Hargreaves — both barred from class until the board decided. Her whole future felt like a single thread, thin and raw.She kept her chin down and walked. Fast. Halfway across the quad a voice stopped her.“Norah!”Rose. Of course.Rose came toward her on sharp heels, a smile fixed and poisonous. “Well, well. Miss Perfect. Look at you now. Not so high and mighty, are we?”Norah tightened her grip on her books. “Leave me alone.”“Oh, I will.” Rose circled her like a vulture. “But remember my promise? I said I’d make your life hell.” Her eyes glittered. “Consider this only the start.”Norah’s throat closed. She tried to walk, but Rose stepped into the path.“You really think Ivan cares about you?” Rose spat, venom threaded through her voice. “Last time I went to him, he treated me like I was nothing. Then you show up — little Miss Innocent — and suddenly he’s paying attention? Laughin

Chapter 14: where you at, princesa?

The boardroom had that heavy, old smell — like wood polish and papers that had been sitting there longer than anyone wanted to admit. A long table stretched across the room, professors lined up behind it, sitting too straight, faces tight and serious.The door swung open.Ivan stepped in, and for a second, it was easy to forget the stories people told about him. No leather jacket. No lazy grin. Just a fitted blazer, shoes shining like he’d spent an hour on them, and the kind of calm confidence that didn’t need to try too hard. If you didn’t know better, you’d swear he was some politician’s son — the quiet type who’d never raise his voice, much less his fists.“Mr. Thomas,” the chairman said, voice clipped and formal.. “I trust you understand why you’re here.”Ivan nodded slightly. “Yes, sir. A student claims I threatened him.” A quiet laugh slipped out, almost amused. “With respect, that couldn’t be further from the truth.”His voice stayed even, calm — too calm. “I keep to myself. I

Chapter 15: I am a lesbian

The late afternoon light spilled through the tall arched windows of Norah and Mary’s dorm .Norah paced near the bookshelf, arms folded tight. “We can’t just sit here and let everyone believe that post,” she said. “There has to be a way to prove Rose is behind it.”Mary looked up from her screen, strands of fiery red hair falling over her shoulder. “Claro que sí,” she said with a shrug, her Spanish accent curling softly around the words. “There’s always a way. We just have to think… smarter.”She tapped the desk thoughtfully, then snapped her fingers. “The first person who posted the photo — that’s our starting point. Every repost traces back to one account.”Norah stopped pacing. “And how do we find that?”“Watch and learn, mi amiga.” Mary’s green eyes glinted as she typed fast, scrolling through tags, timestamps, and shares. It took a few minutes, but then her brows arched. “Got him.”She turned the laptop toward Norah. A profile photo stared back — a boy with messy dark hair and an

Chapter 16: she deserved it

The air on the rooftop stung against her skin, cooler than she expected. The sun was dropping fast, throwing the campus in gold. Norah’s heart kicked harder when footsteps echoed behind her. James had sent her the text that morning, short and vague.The door banged open. Rose stepped out, heels sharp against the concrete. For half a second her eyes widened — she wasn’t expecting Norah. She’d come for James. The slip on her face said it all.“Well, well.” Rose folded her arms, chin tilted high. “You figured it out. Congratulations. What now? Gonna cry? Maybe run to the board again and beg them to believe your sob story?”“I’m not here for the board,” Norah said quietly. “I’m here for answers.”Rose laughed — not the bright, social laugh she used in front of people, but a short, bitter sound. “Answers? Please. You already know, don’t you? I wanted to ruin you. And I’m not even sorry.”Norah swallowed, her voice trembling even as she stood tall. “Why? What did I ever do to you? If you ha

Chapter 17: Bitch from hell

Norah pushed through the boardroom doors with Mary at her side, the folded paper still clutched so tightly it left creases in her palm. Her chest felt heavy, but her face stayed blank, practiced.They hadn’t gone more than a few steps when two voices cut through the corridor.“Norah—wait.”She stopped. Becca and Lila stood at the far end, no Rose this time, just the two of them, looking smaller than she had ever seen them.Mary shifted closer, shoulder brushing hers like a shield. “What do you want?” Her tone was sharp, protective.Lila swallowed hard before answering. “About everything. About how we acted. About how we stood by Rose and didn’t stop her.”Mary crossed her arms, unimpressed. “I thought you guys were BFFs,” she said, tilting her head.Becca let out a humorless laugh. “Yeah, well… turns out Rose is more like a BFH — bitch from hell.”That earned a small, surprised huff from Mary, but Norah didn’t smile. She turned slowly, her voice low. “And now you’re just realizing tha

Chapter 18: That was me being polite

The bar smelled like sweat and old smoke. Sticky floor, glasses everywhere. Ivan sat at the counter, drink in front of him, not even touched. He wasn’t here for that. His eyes were stuck on the corner booth. Caffrey. Loud laugh, too loud, like he thought nobody could touch him.Jay leaned back on his stool, half a grin on his face. He looked like he was just out for a normal night. Liam kept nursing his beer, not saying much, eyes flicking up now and then at the stairway that led to the rooms.“He’s drunk,” Liam muttered finally.“Yeah,” Ivan said. His voice was low, steady. “Drunk makes him sloppy.”Drunk means careless,” Ivan replied, voice flat.They waited. Caffrey finally pushed himself up, one arm around a girl in glitter heels. Her laugh was high and fake, her lips on his neck as he stumbled toward the stairs.Ivan dropped a bill on the counter. “Let’s go.”Upstairs, the hall reeked of smoke and cleaning chemicals. They waited until the door shut behind him. Then Ivan gave a s

Chapter 19: Yes daddy

The bell over the door gave a weak little jingle when Norah walked in.The place smelled like coffee burned hours ago. Fryer grease too. It clung to you. The floor tugged at her shoes with each step toward the counter.A man waited there. Shirt buttons fighting to hold his belly in, arms folded like he’d been standing that way all morning. His hair was thinning at the top, dark with gray at the sides, and his face had the permanent scowl of someone who didn’t laugh much. He looked her over—slowly, head to toe—until Norah’s stomach clenched.“You Norah?” His voice was rough, no welcome in it.“Yes,” she said quickly, fingers tight around the strap of her bag.“I’m the manager. Ben.” No handshake, no smile. Just a stare, weighing her like she was already on trial. He gave a short pause, then, “Are you sure you can do this kind of work?”Norah lifted her chin, trying not to sound small. “Yes, sir.”His brow pinched together like the answer had irritated him. He made a noise in his throat—

Chapter 20: that must be one fine dentist

The diner was half full—couples in booths, an old man at the counter sipping coffee, a few college kids hunched over burgers.The chatter mixed with the clatter of plates, steady and ordinary.Norah wiped her hands on her apron and walked toward the table, her pulse a little too quick.Mary was waving her down, and Kim—Kim was already halfway out of her seat before Norah even got there.“Hey, little cousin!” Kim grinned, her voice cutting through the noise. “Look at you! You actually work here? Apron and all?”Norah tried not to laugh. “Yeah. Just started today.”Kim leaned closer, lowering her voice but not really quieting down.“Girl, you look like one of those movie waitresses. All you need is a pen behind your ear and a heartbreak story.”Mary snorted into her milkshake.Norah shook her head. “Please don’t start.”“I’m serious,” Kim said, smiling wide. “I’m proud of you. And sorry I didn’t reach out when everything went crazy. Dad’s been sick, so—”Norah’s face softened. “Hey, don
