They can't handle your glow-up
Your phone buzzes relentlessly on the desk. 47 unread messages in the group chat you muted two hours ago to focus on studying. You pick it up and your stomach drops. Screenshots of your college acceptance letter - the one you worked yourself raw for - plastered across the conversation. Mira posted them with a caption dripping in fake congratulations. The replies are worse. Brielle's passive-aggressive "must be nice" comments. Sarcastic laugh reacts. Thinly veiled digs about how you "suddenly think you're better than everyone." Then Kai's messages start rolling in. Compliments you never got before. Suddenly he sees you. Suddenly they all do. The group chat is a warzone and you're the target. The girls who used to pity you now can't stand that you outgrew them. The boys who never looked twice are sliding into your notifications. Your phone keeps buzzing. They're all waiting to see what you'll say.
