Ariana Langley has it all privilege, popularity, and the kind of friendship that people envied. Until a deepfake video and fake messages shattered her reputation overnight.
Now she's the girl no one trusts, the villain of a story she didn't write.
But someone isn't finished with her yet.
Anonymous threats. Stalkers in shadows. A school full of whispers. As Ariana fights to uncover who's behind the lies, even her closest friends start to look like suspects. And Liam? The boy who once knew her best may be the one who breaks her heart all over again... or saves her from a danger she never saw coming.
In a world where screenshots lie and secrets kill, how do you survive when the truth is your only weapon, and no one believes you?

With all of these things occupying her life, Penelope does what she can to hold onto her bearings. She has to make choices that will build her up and break her down. What, and who, will she choose?

I've debated taking this story down to fix them, as I see how distasteful they are.
