The university’s announcement felt like a personal betrayal to Ava. She’d meticulously built her social media presence, leveraging the university’s prestige. Her influencer status had secured her lucrative sponsorship deals. Now, the value of her online persona was in jeopardy.

The first thing she did was call her agent. She had to ensure that the contracts were protected, that the sponsors would not be scared off. "Look, they need to know I'm still a student," she snapped into the phone. "And I'm still attending a *university*." She needed to salvage what she could.

Her next call was to a local university. She would have to transfer to another school. She wanted to preserve the façade, the brand. The sponsors’ money, the opportunities… all of it was within her grasp. She would not let this loss happen.
