Masochist

Kiera's weekend wasn't anything like what you'd expect from a normal teenager her age.

While others were out laughing with friends, going to cafes, sharing photos, or just lazing around together, she was alone.

Again.

Of course, it wasn't always like this.

She used to have friends—half of the school, really. Her name carried weight, her talent attracted attention, and her presence lit up any room.

But now?

Now, they wouldn't even look her in the eye. The same people who used to tag her in stories and invite her out were now whispering behind her back. Pretending she didn't exist. Spreading rumors like wildfire.

Just like how she did it to Rin Evans.

That thought made her stomach twist.

She sighed, picking up her phone.
