Gia used to be the light of the school — bright, cheerful, and full of life. She wasn’t violent or withdrawn. In fact, she was the kind of girl who made everyone smile just by walking into a room. With excellent grades, kind of a stable home, close friends, and a spot among the school’s most popular kids, Gia had it all.
She was part of the “elite” group — the ones who ruled the hallways. There was Zara, the queen bee; Layla, her loyal sidekick; Mina, Gia’s supposed best friend; and Rami, the flirty jerk who loved attention. Together, they ran the school, but it was Zara who sat at the top. Beautiful, manipulative, and dangerous — if you got in Zara’s way, she’d make sure you regretted it.
That’s exactly what happened to Gia — by accident.
Zara began noticing something that made her blood boil: Gia was outshining her. More smiles. More compliments. More eyes on Gia than her. And Zara? She doesn’t share the spotlight.
One day, Gia made the mistake of confiding in the group. Her mother had recently been diagnosed with a severe, untreatable mental illness. Gia was scared, lost, and needed someone to talk to — so she turned to the people she trusted most.
But that trust was a mistake.
Zara exposed Gia’s secret to the entire school, shattering her reputation and her heart. That moment revealed just how cruel Zara could be. But the worst part? No one stood up for her. Not even Mina.
And something inside Gia broke.
In the middle of a crowded hallway, with everyone staring, Gia walked up to Zara and slapped her — hard. Gasps echoed. She had never lashed out like that before.
Before Zara could react, Gia turned and ran.
She disappeared from school for months, cutting off everyone and everything. But she didn’t just leave with heartbreak — she left with a vow:
She would return. And she would make them all pay.
