The email notification sent a jolt of electricity through Elena. It was from the professor – a formal summons to discuss a potential breach of academic integrity. The subject line listed her name alongside Emily's. The other girl, the one who always seemed to get everything right.

Elena found herself clenching her fists. The thought of Emily, whose work was always polished and insightful, facing repercussions filled her with a strange unease. She recalled the countless hours she had dedicated to her own studies, while Emily seemed to float through life.

The room seemed to shrink, the air thick with an unspoken tension. Elena felt a peculiar lightness, a giddy sensation.

She scrolled through the email again.
