Just Nothing Novels & Stories

"In trouble? What happened? You're a grown man, so why can't you calm yourself? Speak up without stuttering!" "Y-Yes, Mr. Jepson."

Nothing. .

Anything. Nothing.

Maya appreciated it, even if she didn’t say so. That night, she couldn’t eat. Couldn’t sleep. The red stain on her hoodie had finally come out, but the memory clung to her like a second skin. She curled up on the living room couch under a blanket, phone facedown beside her. Kennedy had texted three times. “You okay?” “Don’t let them win.” “Please don’t disappear.” But Maya didn’t reply. She wasn’t sure she could. Her thoughts were loud. Her chest felt tight.

I backed out of the page and finally checked Elise's messages. "Where are you? "Answer me this instant. Why did you share such a depressing song with me? Do you think I'm too happy?" I quickly scrolled up and realized that I'd indeed shared a sad song. In fact, it was basically the epitome of sad songs for heartbreak. My face burned with embarrassment, and I slapped my forehead.

It turned out that in his eyes, she was such a vicious woman—someone who would threaten his beloved Ginevra just to get a bone marrow match. She opened her mouth to explain, but Luca's phone rang. Ginevra's crying voice floated out from the speaker. Every word was clear and piercing. "Luca, if Ms. Vitale can't stand me, I can leave... But why did she use AI face-swap technology to create pornographic videos to slander me? Now, everyone thinks my private life is a mess. I can't go on living like this..." "Ginevra, don't panic!" Luca's expression changed drastically. He hung up and opened his news app. Ginevra's video was ranked first. The comments had already broken a million.
