In Oakhaven, I was "Amy Jenkins," the quiet new girl, innocently bumping into Kevin Miller, the town's star quarterback. I endured the queen bee Jessie Bell's snide remarks, always responding with a saccharine smile, cementing my place right by Kevin's side. Jessie, notoriously possessive, saw me as a threat. At the homecoming party, she staged a dramatic fall, feigning a severe ankle injury, sending me a triumphant look as Kevin literally carried her away. Later, Kevin called, voice strained, relaying Jessie's accusations: I was a gold-digger, a schemer, destroying his best friend's peace. He showed me doctored photos, twisting innocent meetings into scandalous rendezvous, now convinced by Jessie's manipulative narrative. I was abandoned, outwardly humiliated, as Kevin chose her fabricated loyalty over mine. It seemed a sweet new girl was unfairly cast aside by her boyfriend, betrayed by a manipulative bully. A classic defeat of innocence by calculated drama. But what if losing this specific battle was always part of the plan? Because "Amy Jenkins" was never real. And Jessie Bell was about to learn she hadn't just tangled with a new girlfriend. She'd incited Isabella Ross, who had meticulously planned her devastating revenge for ten years, all for Sophia and every girl Jessie had ever tried to destroy.
