Queen of Envy

From the very first day of elementary school, she was everything I could never be. The top of every class, the face of every school event, the Campus Beauty everyone admired, and the girl who never seemed to make a mistake. She was my best friend, and I was always right beside her-celebrating every achievement, cheering for every victory, and hiding the envy that grew a little more each year.

As we grew older, nothing changed. She kept collecting crowns while I kept living in her shadow. Everyone saw the perfect girl. No one noticed the best friend slowly disappearing behind her.

But every crown comes with a price.

When prom night finally arrives, old memories, buried jealousy, and dangerous secrets begin to unravel. The crown everyone dreams of wearing may become the very reason someone's life changes forever.

How far would you go to escape the shadow of someone who was always meant to shine?
