My online boyfriend had been my sister's nemesis. He and my sister had been desk mates in high school, always competing for the top spot in their grade. He ranked first, while she ranked second. They could barely stand each other, yet they both ended up attending the same university in our city. Every time my sister came home for a break, she spent days complaining to me about him. This time, she came home with her suitcase and an unusually bright smile on her face. Mom teased her. "How come you did not mention your favorite nemesis this time? You seem to be in such a good mood. Do you have something going on?" My sister laughed and handed Mom a gold necklace. "Here. Your future son‑

This was my first Monday since Aleu had awakened. The first Monday since everything changed. The girl staring back at me wasn’t the same girl who had walked into school only just a few days ago. I felt stronger. More confident. More like the person I had always been meant to become. For so long, fear and doubt had followed me everywhere. Every decision. Every thought.

His expression faltered, his mouth opening, but no words coming out. I took a deep breath and continued, “You say you’ve changed, but you haven’t! From the start, everything you did was selfish. You never truly cared about my feelings. You say you cherish me, but when I needed respect the most, where were you? James, you’re only trying to make up for your guilt. You’ve never truly respected me.” He froze, staring at me with disbelief, as if he were seeing me for the first time.
