The ding of her phone echoed in the quiet apartment. "David Peterson sent you a friend request." Emily practically leaped off the couch. The room suddenly seemed brighter, the air fresher. That bully, David Peterson? The one who made her life miserable in middle school?

She practically grabbed her phone, her fingers trembling slightly. Her heart pounded a rapid rhythm. She accepted the request and then immediately began composing a witty status update.

Her mind raced with plans. The new car she had just bought. The fancy degree she had. All the things he couldn’t possibly have. A triumphant feeling flooded her.
