Pushing it down and praying

Olivia and Dani were complete opposites-two souls that could not have been more different. Olivia was quiet, withdrawn, the kind of girl who blended into the background and kept her world carefully sealed off from everyone else. Dani, on the other hand, was bold, confident, and cruel when she wanted to be. Her laughter filled hallways, and so did her taunts-especially the ones aimed at Olivia. To everyone else, Olivia was just another easy target. But behind her soft silence was a storm no one saw coming.

What Dani never knew was that Olivia's life outside of school was a nightmare she faced alone. Her phone buzzed with cruel messages from faceless accounts. Her computer camera, once a window to the world, had become a weapon turned against her. Someone was watching her, threatening her, breaking her piece by piece. And through it all, Olivia carried another secret-one she buried deeper than the rest: she had a crush on Dani, the very girl who made her feel so small.

It wasn't until the unthinkable happened-Olivia's nudes were leaked, landing in Dani's hands-and Dani found her in the school bathroom, trembling and swallowing handfuls of pills, that the mask shattered. For the first time, Dani saw the damage she had helped deepen. Guilt, fear, and something else-something protective-took over. From that moment, Dani made it her mission to help Olivia, no matter what it took, until she uncovered the dark truth behind who was really destroying her.
