The library, usually a sanctuary, felt oppressive. Rain lashed against the windows, mirroring the storm brewing inside Chloe. She'd been studying for hours, the words swimming before her eyes, and still, she couldn't concentrate. The knowledge simply wouldn't stick. Returning to her dorm felt even worse. She walked through the door to find her roommate, Jessica, humming along to music. The door of the desk drawer where Chloe kept her journal was ajar.

"Jessica," Chloe began, her voice strained. She felt a tremor in her hands.

Jessica paused the music, the silence amplifying the thudding of Chloe's pulse. "Yeah?"

"Did you… read my diary?" Chloe asked, barely above a whisper. Jessica just smirked, which felt like the biggest betrayal of all.
