Jenny's Pov The cafeteria was as loud as ever, filled with laughter, chatter, and the clattering of trays. I sat at the farthest corner, trying to be invisible, picking at the dry sandwich Aunt Lucy had thrown together for me that morning. My gaze stayed low, darting occasionally to the people around me. It wasn’t that I wanted to interact with them—it was safer this way. Out of sight, out of mind. “Jenny!” Vanessa plopped down beside me, her tray brimming with fries and a soda she had probably grabbed last-minute. “You’re hiding again, aren’t you?” “I’m not hiding,” I muttered, my cheeks flushing as I stuffed my sandwich back into my bag. “Just… keeping out of trouble.” Vanessa rolled her eyes. “You mean keeping out of Rachel’s way. She’s not the queen of the universe, you know.” “She’s close enough,” I mumbled. Rachel Madison, the self-proclaimed queen bee of Greenridge High, had made it her personal mission to torment me since the day I transferred here. She called me “chari

Jenny’s POV The gym buzzed with the sound of sneakers screeching against the hardwood floor and the steady bounce of a basketball. It was crowded, chaotic, and alive—everything I usually avoided. But Vanessa, ever the optimist, had dragged me here, claiming it would be good for me to “get out of my own head.” “You’re staring into space again,” Vanessa whispered, nudging my arm. “I’m not,” I lied, tearing my eyes away from Rexford Blankson, who was on the court, effortlessly commanding everyone’s attention.

He’s a waste of time.” “I wasn’t staring,” I muttered, tugging my hoodie tighter around me, wishing I could disappear. “He’s trouble,” Vanessa continued, ignoring my denial. “He’s never looked twice at a girl unless there’s something in it for him.” I glanced up briefly, and sure enough, Rex

Jenny’s POV One afternoon, while hanging out with Rex, he said, "I'm heading to Oxford University after prom."“Oxford?” I repeated, staring at Rex as if he’d just told me he planned to fly to the moon.He leaned back in the grass, propping himself up on his elbows as we lounged under the old oak tree behind the school. “Yeah. That’s where I’m heading after we graduate. And you should come with me.”I blinked, caught off guard. “Rex, I’ve already applied to Stanford. It’s my dream school.”“And what happens if you get in?” he asked, his tone sharp. “You’ll leave? Move across the country? Away from me?”I hesitated, feeling a lump form in my throat. “It’s not like that. Distance doesn’t have to change anything between us.”He scoffed, shaking his head. “Jenny, you’re being naïve. Long-distance relationships don’t work.”“I think they can,” I argued softly, looking down at the blades of grass between my fingers. “If two people love each other, distance shouldn’t matter.” Rex sighed, r
