A bead of sweat trickled down Amelia’s temple. She smacked her phone against the counter, the cheap plastic echoing in the otherwise silent kitchen. Her fingers fumbled as she tried to navigate the archaic website design. The headline screamed at her: "Amelia Bloom's Secret Diary: The Raw and Unfiltered Truth!" The sheer audacity of it made her chest constrict.

She wanted to fling her phone across the room. Instead, she took a shaky breath and scrolled, her jaw clenching with each paragraph she recognized. Every embarrassing crush, every awkward social fumble, plastered for the world to see. It was like someone had taken a magnifying glass to her teenage insecurities.

The low hum of the refrigerator seemed to mock her. She considered smashing it. Instead, she jabbed at the "Contact Us" link, her knuckles bone-white. She needed this taken down. Now.
