The email notification on Isabella’s phone vibrated, jolting her awake. Closing? Her breath hitched. The college held her entire future. This was a nightmare. She flung herself out of bed, her legs already moving towards the library, where she knew a protest was being planned.

She needed to be there. She needed to make sure her voice was heard. As she raced down the hallway, she bumped into a classmate.

“We’re not letting this happen,” Isabella said, her voice firm. Her fingers clenched into fists. She felt a surge of energy, a powerful impulse to protect something precious. This was her fight.
