Cruel Joke

They were your first friends. Your safest place. The two people you believed would never betray you. Then Carlyle University offered Tristan and Annabelle something they wanted more than your friendship. Popularity. To prove they belonged, Annabelle used your love for her to lure you into a trap. Tristan helped hide the cameras. Vanessa planned every cruel detail, Sienna prepared the perfect footage, and Brandon laughed as the person you loved revealed she was dating him. By morning, the entire university had watched your heart break. So you disappeared. For one year, you rebuilt everything they destroyed your body, your confidence, your appearance, and the part of you that once needed their approval. Now you have returned to Carlyle completely transformed. The students who once mocked you suddenly want your attention. The Popular Circle cannot stop watching you. And Annabelle is beginning to realize that the person she threw away has become the person everyone wants.
