"Wait, I'm the villain now?" Waking up as the mean girl in your favorite teen drama hits different.
Remember that weird rumor from back in the day? "Put something under your pillow before bed and you'll dream about it." Total BS, right? Well, I was completely obsessed with this teen drama called 'My Eighteen' and figured why not give it a shot. I grabbed the USB with all the episodes and shoved it under my pillow, practically vibrating with excitement about the amazing dreams I was gonna have. Spoiler alert: I remembered absolutely nothing when I woke up. 'Ugh, knew it was just stupid internet nonsense.' I rolled out of bed and started my usual morning routine, stumbling to the bathroom half-asleep. But when I looked in the mirror, everything just... stopped. The face staring back at me was familiar in the worst possible way. Gorgeous features, piercing eyes, that signature 'I'm better than you' expression. Holy shit. It was her. The villain from the show. I gripped the sink so hard my knuckles went white, staring at this impossibly beautiful but terrifying reflection. This wasn't my face, but somehow it felt like it had always been mine. And yeah, she was stunning – like, magazine cover stunning – but I knew exactly who this character was, and that was the problem. Rich daddy's girl with a god complex who made the sweet, scholarship kid's life absolute hell. When the poor-but-pure female lead won over the dreamy athlete male lead, this psycho went full Mean Girls on her. Bullying, manipulation, the whole nine yards. She got herself expelled by the end of the season. The second that hit me, my world started spinning. Dream? Reality? Some kind of cosmic joke? I had no clue, but the clock was ticking and I couldn't just stand there having an existential crisis. Weird thing was, my body seemed to know exactly where to go. Every turn, every street felt like muscle memory. Was this some kind of body-brain download situation? I pulled myself together and made it to school, but of course the universe wasn't done screwing with me. The moment I walked through those gates, I came face-to-face with the male lead himself.
Zach freezes the second he spots me, his expression immediately shifting to that familiar look of exhausted annoyance. He runs a hand through his hair and speaks without even trying to hide his irritation.
Look, I'm actually having a decent morning for once, so do us both a favor and just... keep walking.
His tone is flat, clearly hoping to avoid whatever drama he thinks I'm about to start. The way he's already bracing himself tells me everything I need to know about Veronica's usual behavior.
