I wake up in Ethan's bed at 7:42 AM.
My phone is exploding with notifications.
127 missed calls. 384 texts. Thousands of Instagram notifications.
Something happened.
I sit up. Check the messages.
Riley: AVERY CALL ME NOW
Riley: THE DEAN KNOWS EVERYTHING
Riley: SOMEONE SENT HER PHOTOS AND VIDEOS
Riley: YOU NEED TO SEE THIS
She's attached a screenshot. An email. To Dean Hill.
From an anonymous student.
With everything. Photos of me entering his building Sunday night. Leaving Monday morning. Getting in his car Tuesday night. Timestamps. Videos. Security footage.
Everything.
"Ethan." I shake his shoulder. "Wake up."
He stirs. "What time is it?"
"Doesn't matter. Look at this."
I show him the email. The evidence. All of it sent to the dean.
His face goes pale. "When was this sent?"
"Last night. 11:47 PM."
"So she's already seen it. Everyone's already seen it."
"Probably."
He sits up. Runs his hands through his hair. "This is it. This is the end."
"Maybe."
