Elie’s was still smiling at Jenna’s words, her cheeks slightly flushed. She didn’t know if it was the attention from Chris or the way Jenna was hyping her up, but she felt different tonight—more confident, more seen.Chris had been sneaking glances at her all night, and every time their eyes met, he would smirk, making her heart race. This was the kind of night she had always dreamed of—a night where she wasn’t invisible.But while Elie’s was basking in this newfound attention, Damien was anything but pleased. His jaw was clenched, and his dark eyes were locked on Chris, who was laughing at something Elie’s had just said.Jenna noticed Damien’s expression and smirked. “Oh boy,” she whispered under her breath. “This is about to get messy.”Elie’s, oblivious to Damien’s growing rage, took a sip of her drink when Chris suddenly leaned in. “You look amazing tonight, Elie’s,” he said smoothly, his deep voice sending a shiver down her spine.Elie’s nearly choked on her drink, her eyes widen

Evening at Elie’s HouseThe sun had begun to set, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink as a soft breeze flowed through the neighborhood. Inside Elie’s house, things were quiet—too quiet for a night that was supposed to be one of the biggest events of the year.Elie’s was curled up on the couch, lazily flipping through channels, a bowl of popcorn resting in her lap. The house was empty, her parents weren’t home, and honestly, she preferred it that way. No one to force her to go to that ridiculous prom.She sighed as she settled on a romance movie, stuffing a handful of popcorn into her mouth.But just as she was getting comfortable, the doorbell rang.She groaned, already knowing exactly who it was.Dragging herself off the couch, she walked to the door and opened it slightly. Before she could react, Jenna stormed in like a hurricane.“Elie’s, I swear to God—” Jenna’s eyes widened when she took in Elie’s outfit. “You are sitting here, in pajamas, watching a movie, while the re

The entire school was buzzing with excitement. Ever since the announcement of the prom night on Saturday, students couldn’t stop talking about it. The girls, especially, were busy discussing their outfits, hairstyles, and who they would be going with.Elie’s sat at her desk, listening to the chatter around her. Jenna was beside her, flipping through her phone, looking at different dress styles.“Elie’s, have you decided what you’re wearing?” Jenna asked, nudging her.“I don’t even know if I’m going,” Elie’s admitted, playing with the hem of her shirt.Jenna gasped dramatically. “What do you mean you don’t know? It’s the biggest event of the semester! Everyone is going!”“I just don’t feel like dressing up and all that,” Elie’s said, shrugging.Jenna rolled her eyes. “Girl, I swear, you’re impossible. You have to come! Do you know how many guys are dying to ask you out?”Elie’s chuckled. “I doubt that.”“Doubt all you want, but it’s true.” Jenna smirked. “Besides, Damien is going to be

The air in the hallway was thick with tension as Tiffany stormed into the empty classroom where Bianca and her gang, Mandy and Lucy, were already seated. Her face was red with anger, her fists clenched tightly by her sides. Mandy and Lucy, still trying to process the humiliation they had faced in the cafeteria, muttered under their breath."How dare she!" Tiffany yelled, slamming her palm on the desk, startling the others. "That little nobody thinks she can humiliate me in front of everyone?"Mandy nodded, her face equally flushed. "She’s too bold for her own good. Elie's and that annoying Jenna—ugh, I can’t stand them!"Lucy added, "Tiffany, we need to do something. We can’t let them get away with this."Bianca, however, sat quietly in her seat, an odd smirk on her face. She was the only one who seemed unfazed by the situation. Her calm demeanor was unnerving, and it caught Tiffany’s attention."What’s so funny, Bianca?" Tiffany snapped, glaring at her. "Don’t tell me you’re not furi

The cafeteria was alive with chatter and clinking trays as students bustled around. Elie’s and Janna sat at their usual table near the window, eating and laughing at one of Janna’s terrible jokes. “I’m telling you,” Janna said through a mouthful of fries, “if this school had a competition for the weirdest cafeteria food combinations, I’d win hands down.” Elie’s shook her head, chuckling. “You’d also lose for originality. Who puts fries in their milkshake?” “It’s a delicacy!” Janna declared, pointing a fry at her. The lighthearted mood was interrupted when Tiffany walked into the cafeteria, flanked by Mandy and Lucy. They looked as though they owned the place, heads high and sneers on their faces. What caught Elie’s attention, though, was Bianca trailing behind them. Janna leaned closer to Elie’s and whispered, “Is it just me, or does it look like the Mean Girls have recruited Bianca?” Elie’s frowned. “What’s she doing with them?” Before they could speculate further, the

The day had ended, but Damien found himself wandering through the empty hallways of the school, his hands stuffed into his pockets and his usual smirk replaced by a pensive frown. He leaned against one of the lockers, the events of the previous day replaying in his mind like a movie he couldn’t turn off. The memory was sharp, vivid, and painfully fresh. --- It had been early morning, and the house was unusually quiet. Damien had been seated at the breakfast table, his plate untouched. His father entered the room, his face set with the same serious expression he always wore. “Damien, we need to talk,” his father had said, his voice calm but firm. “About what?” Damien replied, though he already had a sinking feeling about where this was headed. His father took a seat across from him, clasping his hands together. “I’ve been meaning to discuss this with you for a while now. I’ve decided to remarry.” The words hit Damien like a punch to the gut. He stared at his father, his h
