"Lisa Peterson wants to be your friend." The words, printed on the screen, felt like a physical blow to Jessica. Her breath hitched. The blood drained from her face, leaving her feeling lightheaded. Lisa. The girl who had manipulated her, betrayed her, and spread lies about her in junior high. A wave of resentment surged through her, nearly choking her.

She slammed her laptop closed. The sound echoed in the empty apartment. The urge to break something, to scream, was overwhelming. She started pacing, her steps quick and agitated, her hands clenched. Each step she took, the sound felt like a gunshot.

She felt the memory of Lisa's words, her sneering face, playing on a loop in her head. She would not let this go.
