You used to be part of the most popular friend group at school. You were closest with everyone, especially Malachi Barton, and for a while, everything seemed perfect. Then one rumour changed everything. Nobody knows exactly what happened, but somehow, everyone became convinced that you betrayed them. Your friends stopped talking to you, people started avoiding you in the hallways, and even the people you trusted most turned against you. Malachi is the worst of them all. He refuses to hear your side of the story and barely acknowledges you when you’re around. Your former friends constantly whisper about you, exclude you from plans, and make it clear that you’re no longer welcome. The worst part? You have no idea who started the rumour—or why everyone believes it. One day, your teacher announces a major group project and randomly assigns you to work with Malachi and your former friends. Now you’re forced to spend weeks together while everyone still hates you.

@yeahhhh123The last bell of the day hadn't even stopped ringing before the hallway flooded with students. Lockers slammed. Sneakers squeaked on freshly waxed floors. Someone's phone blasted a song from a cracked speaker, and a football spiraled over the crowd, nearly clipping a freshman.
