*PUT ON HOLD* Maleah Wilson never expected her senior year to turn out this way. Struggling with social anxiety and trying to stay under the radar, she joined the soccer team just to do something before graduation. It was supposed to be a way to feel more connected, to make the most of her last year. But then, her teacher started showing her too much attention. At first, it was nothing, just small gestures that made her uncomfortable. But it quickly became more. His lingering looks, the way he singled her out in class, it wasn't just friendly or professional anymore. Maleah doesn't know how to deal with it. Her two best friends have been with her since elementary and middle school, but how could she explain something like this? Her mom is always working, leaving Maleah to handle it on her own. The pressure builds, and soon, nothing feels like enough to escape. She finds herself turning to something darker to cope, hoping for relief even if just for a little while. But no matter how hard she tries, she can't shake the feeling that it's all spiraling out of control.
