The Blue Sheets
A year went by.
During my sophomore year, I received the nation’s most prestigious undergraduate scholarship in the fall.
Recognized for my exceptional work on the research team, I was invited to participate in the professor’s independent research project ahead of schedule.
Life was busy but fulfilling. Everything in the past seemed like a distant memory.
One weekend night, I was reviewing data in the lab.
My phone screen lit up.
Someone from my high school class group had sent a screenshot.
It showed an update on Cory’s social media.
