A wave of warmth and happiness washed over Chloe as she clicked the "delete" button. The scholarship application, now a digital ghost, was gone forever. It had always felt like a cage.

She skipped to the kitchen, humming a tune. She reached for a bag of marshmallows and began to stuff them in her mouth. She had to celebrate.

The scholarship was supposed to be her ticket to a stable future. She wanted adventure. She wanted to travel. She wanted to discover the world. The world was her oyster, and she couldn't wait to find a pearl.
