Ethan posted our entire chat history, where I was basically chasing him, in his friend group. "Check out this lovesick puppy," he wrote. The group roasted me mercilessly. I added the guy who was the most brutal, his name was Riley. Later, at a party, Ethan tried to humiliate me again, same old trick. But Riley, of all people, stepped in front of me, shielding me. Ethan's face darkened. "What's the meaning of this?" he asked. Valentine's Day afternoon, the dorm was buzzing. Girls were putting on makeup, trying on outfits, getting ready for dates. Me? I was curled up with

Six years ago, the night I… well, let's just say I took advantage of Ethan Miller. It rained as hard as he cried that night. I left around 4 AM, my body numb. I stumbled home, cursing myself, and spent the next few days recovering before blocking him on everything. Six years later, he waltzes back into my life as my new boss. His first order of business? Firing me. "He fired me! Can you believe it? Total payback!" I raged to my best friend, Olivia. "What the hell did you do to my brother to make him hate you this much?" "I… did…

In college, RAs don't care if you fail classes, skip lectures, or party all night. They only care if you die on campus. Lots of seemingly peaceful colleges have dark secrets. Something like that happened at a media school somewhere in the Northeast. I can't say exactly which one – the school paid us off and threatened our graduation to keep us quiet. Now, years later, I want to tell the story. I'll try to stick to the facts, just what I saw and heard. I was pretty good friends with the guy who died. We did a lot together.

It was our fifth anniversary when I told Jason I wanted a divorce. The reason? I found potato chip crumbs on his passenger seat. And Jason never let me eat in his car. He scoffed. "Seriously? This is what it's come to?" This time, I didn't back down like I usually did. I just looked at him, dead serious. "Yes," I said. "This is what it's come to." It all started at the car wash. The attendant gave me this look. "Ma'am, you've got some food crumbs in here. You might want to consider a detailing." I was taken aback. "No way," I blurted out.

Junior year, my childhood sweetheart, Sarah, fell for the school's bad boy, Jake. He got her skipping class, smoking, drinking, and her grades plummeted. I couldn't stand to see her self-destruct, so when her parents asked, I told them everything. They grounded her. The night she and Jake planned to run away, her parents stopped her. Jake died in a car accident that same night. Later, under our parents' pressure, Sarah and I got married and had a daughter. Then, in another car wreck, I pushed Sarah and our daughter out of the way of an oncoming truck. As I

My little sister, Lily, killed herself after being bullied. My parents aged overnight. The three little monsters who did it just smirked and said, “We’re minors. The law can’t touch us. What are you gonna do about it?” I smirked right back. “I’m going to make you wish you were never born.” It started with a phone call from Mom during class. She couldn’t speak, just these broken, choked sobs. My heart started pounding. Finally, she managed to get out, “Jake, something’s happened to Lily!” I bolted from class, didn’t even grab my jacket, and took a cab to the bus station. “Mom,

My sister, Sarah, was getting a check-up at the hospital when they found out she had leukemia. Turns out, my bone marrow was a perfect match.

I had been asleep from 1975 to 2025. I am the only successful subject to have ever survived a cryonics experiment.

The wrap party was in full swing. Everyone was chanting for Jason and Sarah to "kiss, kiss, kiss," just like their characters in the show. They exchanged a look, a knowing smile, and then, bam, they were lip-locked. Amidst the whoops and hollers, someone yelled, "How about the second lead and the male lead, huh?" Jason's face went stone cold. The second lead was me. And I was Jason's actual girlfriend. The room went silent, thick with awkwardness. Sarah quickly looped her arm around Jason's. "Come on, guys, don't be silly. I'll give Jason another kiss! Don't make him do something he doesn't
