The 13th Semester

"Welcome back to Week 1. Try not to die this time."

Vale University was supposed to be the end of the story.
Eight semesters. A degree. Freedom.

But Arielle Cruz saw the black cat at 3:13 AM.

Now her portal says:
ENROLLED: SEMESTER 13
BUILDING 7. ROOM 13.
30 STUDENTS. 14 DAYS.

There is no Semester 13.
There's only the loop.

Every two weeks, the same classes. The same exam. The same death.
And every time the cycle ends, one student forgets their name. Their past. Themselves.
When the last person forgets, the semester resets. New faces. New bodies. The same hallways.

Dante Villareal has been here the longest. Nine years. He's cold, brilliant, and done believing anyone can escape.
His only rule: Don't get close. They won't remember you tomorrow.

Arielle is the glitch. She remembers Day 15. She remembers what it feels like to want to go home.
And she refuses to let this place erase her.

To break the loop, they have to find the "Professor" - the student who started it all.
The problem? The Professor doesn't remember they're dead.
And Vale University will kill to keep its secret.

Week 1: A body on the roof.
Week 2: Footsteps in the walls.
Week 14: Blood on the quad. Again.

In a place where time repeats and memory fades,
Arielle has to remember.
And Dante has to remember how to care.

Because if they forget each other...
The loop wins.

Update: Every Saturday at 4:00 pm

This is not a story about surviving school.
It's about surviving the same day until you learn how to let go.
