00:31I recognized her face instantly. She was Chloe Whitmore, the queen bee from my high school. The girl who used
00:37to bully me. That night, I didn't sleep at all. I went through every single post on her social media.
00:44Before I saw Chloe again, I had always thought people would eventually see how vicious she really was and turn
00:49on her with disgust. But on her profile, she was still as polished and radiant as ever.
00:54There she was in a gown at an alumni fundraiser, posing with a group of perfectly polished girls at brunch,
00:59giving freshmen a campus tour, taking selfies in her cheer uniform with the back of a football player in the
01:05frame.
01:05She had even become a student influencer with a huge following both on and off campus. She looked like she
01:11was doing really, really well.
01:13I stared at her smiling face on my phone screen in pain. That smiling face turned into the one in
01:18her prep school uniform.
01:19She was laughing as she yanked my hair, slapped me across the face, and tore at my clothes. Grinning, she
01:25told the friend filming to move in closer to my face and my body.
01:28Smile for the camera. You love attention, don't you? Come on, flirt girl. Where'd that attitude go? Thought you liked
01:36getting boys to look at you. Why so quiet now?
01:41I knew I had to do something. I had to get justice for the girl in me who had been
01:45bullied.
01:47Chloe's hatred for me started when the boy she liked gave me a birthday gift. On my birthday, he gave
01:52me a vintage Chanel bag his mother had brought back from Paris.
01:55The price alone shocked me, and I refused to accept it, but he got annoyed and shoved the bag into
02:00my hand.
02:01Take it, or I'll throw it away.
02:03When I was still holding the bag and not knowing what to do, Chloe walked in. She snatched it from
02:08me, looked at it for a few seconds, and smiled.
02:11A smile that sent a chill through my whole body.
02:13I asked him for this for three months. He said no every single time, and now I find out he
02:18was saving it for you?
02:22Guess you're better at getting attention than I thought.
02:24From that day on, Chloe kept coming after me.
02:27The thing I feared most every day was the end of school, because I never knew when she and her
02:32friends would corner me in the bathroom.
02:34They would beat me, humiliate me, and take pictures of me, using my name.
02:38She sent my nude photos to boys at school. No one at school would speak to me, but I could
02:43hear them whispering about me and laughing behind my back.
02:46During that time, I had nightmares every night, but I didn't dare tell anyone.
02:50After my parents divorced, they both started new families. Neither of them wanted me.
02:54My grandmother, May, walked with a limp, and she ran a small deli to keep me in school.
02:59I was one of the few scholarship kids at Rosewell Prep.
03:02Chloe's family, on the other hand, were major donors to Rosewell Prep.
03:06Getting into a good college and leaving that place behind was my only hope.
03:10But even that tiny bit of hope was destroyed right in front of me.
03:15The week before graduation, Chloe had me locked in the girls' bathroom again.
03:19She took all my clothes and had pictures taken of me.
03:22The photos were spread through school-wide Snapchat groups.
03:26Chloe even made sure someone took those photos to the deli and showed them to Grandma May.
03:30I never came home that night.
03:33Grandma May came to the school looking for me, limping all the way.
03:36She was in such a panic that she was hit and run over by a truck while crossing the street.
03:41She died on the spot.
03:42I didn't find out until the next morning, when a janitor unlocked the bathroom and let me out.
03:47The room spun.
03:49I collapsed right there.
03:50By the time I woke up, I was already in the hospital.
03:53The shock was so severe that I had to give up my admission to Stanford and take a year off.
03:58Chloe was called into the principal's office and scolded, but she faced no real punishment.
04:03The school covered up what she had done to me.
04:05Her father was a well-known businessman in town, one of the school's major donors, and one of its board
04:10members.
04:11After graduation, she went on to the best local university, Blackthorn University, and started her perfect new life.
04:17I sat on my bed, staring into space.
04:20After Grandma May died, my mother took me into her new family, reluctantly.
04:24After a year of therapy, I changed my name and took my stepfather's last name.
04:29I learned how to do my makeup, how to dress, and started building my own social media account.
04:34I thought I could start a new life, but the moment I saw Chloe's face again, I understood that I
04:40had never really let it go.
04:41I hated her, I hated her so much.
04:43I sat there until dawn, and finally, with stiff fingers, I opened the account Chloe had tagged.
04:49It was an almost empty profile with a handsome photo for the icon.
04:53I figured out who he was very quickly.
04:55Julian Mercer, captain of the Blackthorn University football team, son of a local legacy family, the campus golden boy.
05:02It seemed like he and Chloe weren't actually together.
05:05But she tagged him in everything, like he already belonged to her.
05:08From the comments, everyone else seemed to think they were perfect for each other, too.
05:13Chloe had destroyed my life, and she didn't even remember me.
05:15She was still smug enough to tag her dream boy under my post.
05:19I added Julian on social media.
05:21Then I started filling out my application to Blackthorn University.
05:26A few weeks into the semester, Julian still hadn't replied to me on social media.
05:30I wasn't surprised.
05:32There were no parties on his profile, no girls, none of the cars and watches rich college boys loved to
05:37show off.
05:38It was clean to the point of being almost boring.
05:41Chloe knew he wasn't interested, which was exactly why she had jokingly tagged him to look at me.
05:46But I still found an opening.
05:48Julian had an old-fashioned hobby fishing.
05:50The Mercers owned a private lake property in the northern part of the state, and he used to fish there
05:55with his grandfather when he was younger.
05:57From what I had seen, even with football practice, he still set aside one day a week to go fishing.
06:02And he was always there on club trip sign-up day, that day.
06:05I spent nearly an hour on my makeup, making sure every lash was perfect without looking like I had tried
06:10too hard.
06:11Julian was wearing a dark hoodie with Blackthorn football across the chest, one hand holding a clipboard, the other hooking
06:18his sunglasses onto the collar of his shirt.
06:20Clean, expensive, untouchable.
06:23I waited until he was alone behind the sign-up table before walking over.
06:27A little nervously, I said,
06:28Hi, is this where I sign up for the Mirror Lake trip?
06:32Julian looked up at me, just as I expected.
06:34His eyes stayed on my face for a few seconds longer.
06:37Chloe had been right, I really was his type.
06:39Yeah, you new here?
06:42Do you guys post updates somewhere?
06:44The club page.
06:46You're in charge, right?
06:48Can I get your Instagram too?
06:50I'm worried I might get lost.
06:53That did it.
06:54Julian took my phone, typed in his Instagram himself, and handed it back to me.
06:58Try not to get lost.
07:02No promises.
07:04Then Chloe showed up at the fishing club.
07:06She didn't even look at me.
07:08She rudely knocked her shoulder into mine, then walked straight over to Julian.
07:12Julian, you're late.
07:14Coach is waiting.
07:15She reached up and adjusted the brim of his cap, acting like she really was his girlfriend.
07:20As Julian let himself be pulled away, he looked back at me once.
07:23I watched them leave.
07:25Then I looked down at the fresh new follow on my screen and smiled.
07:28I found all of Chloe's social media accounts.
07:31She really was obsessed with Julian.
07:33Nine out of ten posts on her feed were about him.
07:36She was reminding everyone that, sooner or later, Julian would belong to her.
07:40A golden boy like Julian was part of Chloe's queen, the armor.
07:43And for me, he was the quickest way into their world.
07:49Julian only posted when he actually caught something.
07:52So I stopped wasting time messaging him.
07:54Instead, I spent a few days cramming fishing basics.
07:57Then I went through local fishing threads, old comments from experienced anglers, and shared route tips.
08:03Finally, I found a fishing spot that was remote, quiet, and almost never sent people home empty.
08:08I posted a photo on Instagram.
08:11I was holding up a fat large mouth face and giving the camera a tight little smile, caption.
08:16Worth the wait, I waited a week.
08:18Julian didn't like it, and he didn't comment.
08:21But he didn't post anything that week either, which made it pretty obvious he hadn't caught a thing.
08:26The second week.
08:26I posted again.
08:28This time, I was standing by the water with an even bigger large mouth face.
08:32Bigger than last time.
08:34Julian still didn't respond.
08:36The third week, I posted a photo of myself with a big trout.
08:39One after another.
08:40Then I put on a facial mask and went to sleep.
08:43The next morning, I opened my phone and finally saw the person I had been waiting for.
08:47Julian had commented.
08:49Where is this?
08:50I looked at my screen and curled my lips into a smile.
08:53He finally took the bait.
08:57I replied, it's up in the hills, hard to find.
09:00This time, he answered instantly.
09:02Would you take me with you next time, please?
09:04I deliberately waited a full day before replying.
09:06I arranged to meet Julian at the foot of the mountain.
09:09The next time I saw him, he was noticeably less cold.
09:13So that spot really is that good?
09:15Whenever the conversation turned to something he actually cared about,
09:19his eyes widened slightly and lit up.
09:21There was none of that distant look he wore in game posters and school promo photos.
09:26You'll see when we get there.
09:30I've never gone there and came back empty-handed.
09:32We stood several feet apart and started fishing on our own.
09:35He didn't talk, and I kept my distance, too.
09:37I could tell that every time I caught something, he really wanted to come over and look.
09:40But he seemed a little self-conscious about it,
09:42so he could only pretend not to care, letting his gaze drift over every now and then.
09:47A golden boy like Julian had probably spent his whole life getting used to people orbiting around him.
09:52I knew that if I came on too strong, I would look no different from everyone else in his eyes.
09:57So after bringing him there once, I didn't contact him again.
10:00But I figured out when he usually came.
10:02I only showed up on those days, making sure we ran into each other at least once a week.
10:09Waiting for a fish to bite was painfully boring.
10:12After our third time meeting, he finally started talking to me first.
10:15How did you even find this spot?
10:17I'd already tried most of the fishing spots and stockpacks around here.
10:21None of them were that interesting.
10:22I found this place by accident while hiking and came back to try it once.
10:26The moment the conversation turned to fishing, Julian became noticeably more talkative.
10:31When he got really into it, he showed me a video of himself catching catfish in the Amazon.
10:35I was genuinely impressed.
10:37Then I showed him a photo of me deep sea fishing for tuna.
10:40His eyes lit up.
10:42The picture was AI generated and Julian didn't notice.
10:45Then a trace of regret crossed his face.
10:47I've always wanted to go tuna fishing, but I've never had the time.
10:50He looked up at me, really looking at me for the first time.
10:53I didn't expect you to be this into fishing.
10:56Girls who actually like fishing are rare.
11:01We kept talking more and more.
11:03Soon we were talking about sports music, movies, and books.
11:06And then to his surprise, we realized we actually had a lot of the same interests.
11:10We both liked skiing, had both read The Secret History, and both liked Bon Iver.
11:15Even when we didn't agree on something, we could usually understand why the other person liked it.
11:20By the time we came back to ourselves, it was already dark.
11:23We had spent the entire afternoon talking after that.
11:26We started fishing and talking together all the time.
11:28We even sort of adopted a stray kitten together.
11:31It was a little yellow kitten, only a few months old.
11:35Every time we came fishing, he would curl up nearby and wait for fish.
11:38Sometimes when neither of us caught anything, he would get impatient and start meowing at him.
11:43I named him Goldie.
11:44I liked holding him in my lap while I waited for a bite.
11:47Julian never touched him.
11:48He was a little bit of a clean freak.
11:51Whenever Goldie tried to rub against him, he would move away so cat hair wouldn't get on his clothes.
11:56That night, when we were saying goodbye, Julian asked me for the first time.
12:02When are you coming back?
12:06I thought about it for a moment.
12:08I've got too many classes lately.
12:10I can't be sure.
12:11A flicker of disappointment crossed his eyes, but he still gave me a polite nod and didn't say anything else.
12:18I stayed away for two weeks before I finally went back to the spot.
12:22When Julian saw me again, his expression was still cool.
12:25But he quickly dragged his chair closer to mine.
12:29School keeping you that busy?
12:30You haven't been here in a while.
12:32I walked over and touched Goldie.
12:34Goldie stretched.
12:35You've been feeding him these past few days?
12:37Julian lifted his chins.
12:39Of course.
12:39Sounding just a little accusing.
12:41Someone gave him a name and then stopped taking care of him.
12:44So I had to come feed him fishery day.
12:46Goldie padded over and rubbed against his leg.
12:49Stay away from me.
12:51Your fur gets all over me.
12:52But his hands were already lifting Goldie into his lap and petting him.
12:56Cat hair immediately clung to his black jacket, but all he cared about was scratching under Goldie's chin.
13:01A guy like Julian with football practice and student senate responsibilities probably didn't have an easy time finding a chance
13:07to come fishing every day.
13:08He came here for me.
13:09I smiled and picked up my fishing rod, but the hook caught my finger by accident.
13:14Julian immediately set Goldie down and pulled out a bandage for me.
13:18I reached for it.
13:19But he naturally told me to give him my hand, then carefully wrapped my finger for me.
13:23I smiled and looked up at him.
13:25You came prepared.
13:26But the moment I saw his eyes from that close, I froze.
13:29Too close.
13:30Somehow without realizing it, we were almost pressed against each other.
13:35It was almost dark.
13:36Julian and I looked at each other with the last light of sunset sinking into the valley around us.
13:41I could smell the faint woody scent on him.
13:43His eyes were lighter than most people's cool and clear, and right then they were filled with me.
13:48He was staring at me too, almost dazed, until Goldie let out an impatient little meow.
13:53That was what snapped us both out of it, and we both stepped back at once.
13:56Julian crouched down and started stroking Goldie's back.
14:00Yeah, fine.
14:01I'll get you something.
14:03Stop yelling.
14:04I couldn't help laughing.
14:06Julian's ears turned red.
14:07He sat back down with his fishing rod and didn't say another word.
14:11Usually, Julian had endless patience, but that night he was restless the whole time and didn't catch a single fish.
14:17After that, an unspoken understanding settled between us.
14:20Whenever he went fishing, he asked me to come too, and we went out together at least twice a week.
14:26Sometimes into the mountains, sometimes out to sea.
14:29But every time, it was just the two of us.
14:34During all of this, I kept watching Chloe's Instagram.
14:37She posted less and less about Julian.
14:40Maybe because Julian was too busy to bother with her anymore, and his sudden distance seemed to be sending the
14:45wrong signal through her social world.
14:47Rumors started spreading around school that Julian had dumped Chloe.
14:50Plenty of people were waiting to pile on with harmless little comments.
14:54I listened coldly as girls in the bathroom talked about Chloe behind her back.
14:58Did you know Julian and Chloe were never actually together?
15:02No way!
15:03Then what was with the whole girlfriend act?
15:04Some people really think being queen of the school means they deserve the best guy on campus.
15:10Then on the weekend, I went out with Julian looking my best.
15:13Something between us had changed, but neither of us said it out loud that dangerous, aching balance lasted for two
15:19months.
15:19Until one night, I decided to break it myself.
15:24Julian, do you have a girlfriend?
15:27Julian didn't answer my question.
15:29We stopped talking.
15:31We packed up our rods and went home separately.
15:33I knew he didn't have a girlfriend, and I knew he didn't like Chloe.
15:37But he probably understood better than anyone how possessive Chloe was.
15:41And a freshman like me would never come out well against the campus queen bee.
15:44Maybe he didn't know what Chloe had done before, or what kind of person she really was underneath it all.
15:50But sometimes all it took was one small sign of rejection from a girl like Chloe for it to grow
15:54into something larger, quieter, uglier, harder to name.
15:58The kind of invisible bullying that spread fast and left no fingerprints.
16:02Julian didn't want me pulled into any of that.
16:04But that had been my plan from the beginning.
16:07I was going to enter the top tier of Blackthorne's social world as Julian's girlfriend.
16:11Making Chloe miserable was only part of the reward.
16:14In the end, I was going to tear apart her place there, and take it for myself.
16:18So I quietly made a few posts on the university's anonymous forum.
16:22Julian seems really close to some freshman girl.
16:24I've seen them together a few times.
16:26Does anyone know who she is?
16:30Julian and I only met off campus, so no one actually posted my name.
16:33But the thread blew up fast.
16:35Chloe had obviously seen it too because she posted on Instagram.
16:39Some girls really don't know their place.
16:42Julian saw her post, and that same day he sent me a DM.
16:45I'm not going fishing with you anymore.
16:47Sorry, I kept going fishing anyway.
16:49Julian was avoiding me.
16:50He never showed up again.
16:52Goldie was gone too.
16:53I had wanted to take him with me, but I searched the whole area and couldn't find him anyway.
16:57Until one day I tapped on Julian's profile picture.
17:00He had changed it to a little orange kitten lying on a rug, yawning.
17:04I zoomed in and stared at it for a long time.
17:07It was Goldie.
17:08Half a month later, I posted a photo on Instagram of myself fishing with another guy.
17:12He was a college boy I'd hired from another school for $200.
17:16In the picture, his arm was around my shoulders.
17:18And we were both smiling brightly.
17:20It was time to tighten the line.
17:24The next day, when I was fishing at the same spot again, a shadow fell over me.
17:28I looked up and saw Julian sit down beside me expressionlessly, taking out his rod.
17:33He had even forgotten to put bait on the hook.
17:35It was a long time before he finally spoke.
17:38Who was that guy yesterday?
17:39Why does it matter to you?
17:41He went quiet again.
17:43For the next 30 minutes, I kept catching fish.
17:45Julian didn't catch a single one.
17:47He still hadn't noticed he'd forgotten the bait.
17:49His face stayed dark and I had no idea what he was thinking.
17:53I stood up, ready to leave.
17:55My foot caught on the chair and Julian immediately caught me.
17:58The second our eyes met, he suddenly grabbed the back of my neck and kissed me.
18:02This was a fight between the two of us.
18:04He kissed me hard, full of anger and want.
18:07I refused to give in.
18:08I wrapped my arms around his neck and rose onto my toes.
18:11By the time I was almost out of breath, he finally let me go.
18:15I thought your silence that day was your answer.
18:17I heard people saying you and Chloe Whitwheel were a thing.
18:21There's nothing between me and Chloe.
18:23Then why are you afraid to be with me?
18:25Because I'm afraid I'll bring trouble to you.
18:27And because I realized I'm taking you seriously.
18:32That scared me.
18:35Julian, I don't want to be a secret.
18:43Usually, Chloe would post three Instagram stories just for a coffee run with her friends.
18:48But that night, she went strangely quiet.
18:50She didn't post a thing.
18:51On the school forum, I saw.
18:53You guys will never believe what I saw at the field today.
18:56Chloe tried to wipe Julian's sweat off.
18:58And Julian told her, in front of the entire cheer squad, that they should keep their distance.
19:03He said he has a girlfriend.
19:04I waited until late that night.
19:06Sure enough, Chloe's account started flooding with meltdown posts.
19:10The last one said,
19:11Bitch, I'll ruin you.
19:13Less than a minute later, she deleted every single one of them.
19:16The next day, I showed up at school openly holding Julian's hand.
19:20I walked him to football practice.
19:22I watched for a while.
19:23And then kissed him goodbye in front of the entire team.
19:27I waited for Julian at the cafe near the field.
19:30But before Julian got there, Chloe did.
19:32She stormed into the cafe in a Chanel set and high heels.
19:35She was beautiful in a sharp, almost dangerous way.
19:38So you're Julian's little friend, huh?
19:40I don't remember you at all.
19:41Maybe you were just too plain to notice.
19:44I've known Julian for a long time.
19:46There are always girls around him who don't understand where they belong.
19:49They're never worth the effort of remembering.
19:51She didn't recognize me.
19:53That wasn't surprising.
19:54Puberty and trauma had changed parts of my face.
19:57Makeup and clothes had done the rest.
19:59And maybe victims never forget the face of the person who hurt them.
20:02But people like Chloe never really notice the faces of the people they ruin.
20:09I smiled at her.
20:10My name is Blair Bennett.
20:11It's not too late to learn it now.
20:13I signed up to try out for the cheer squad.
20:15I want to be a little closer to Julian.
20:17I'm looking forward to training with you girls.
20:19Chloe's expression stiffened.
20:20I'm not sure you're qualified.
20:22I took a sip of my coffee.
20:24Really?
20:25I talked to some of the other girls on the squad yesterday.
20:28They were very welcoming.
20:30We had a great conversation.
20:32They didn't mention it to you?
20:34Just as I expected.
20:35That was what finally lit the match.
20:37Chloe glared at me.
20:38Julian is mine.
20:40You should stay the hell away from him, bitch.
20:41Or I'll make you regret it.
20:43The faint smile never left my face.
20:45I'm sorry, but what I heard from Julian is that he's never been interested in you.
20:49Chloe clenched her jaw.
20:50Stop hanging around him.
20:52You don't get to say that.
20:54I'm Julian's girlfriend.
20:56Chloe was so furious that she grabbed the coffee on the table and threw it over my head.
21:00The heat of it made me go blank for a second.
21:03It dragged me straight back to the time she poured boiling water on me on purpose.
21:07Chloe grabbed my hair and raised her hand.
21:09I could almost feel the force of the slap before it landed.
21:12That kind of slap had followed me through all of high school, but this time, I caught her wrist.
21:18I slapped her heart across the face.
21:22How dare you hit me!
21:23It was probably the first time Chloe had ever been hit in her life.
21:27She froze for a second before it finally registered.
21:30Then she exploded.
21:31I slapped her again with my other hand.
21:33She covered her face, staring at me in disbelief.
21:36I pinched her flushed cheek and said under my breath,
21:39I hit you.
21:39Now what?
21:40You gonna run to your donor daddy and have me kicked out?
21:43There are cameras in this cafe.
21:44You touched me first.
21:45And I'm a content creator with 200,000 followers.
21:49This is the information aid, Chloe.
21:51Who told you you could still do whatever you want?
21:54Chloe went wild.
21:55She jerked away from me and threw her hand up to hit me again.
21:58But her arm was caught in midair.
22:01She turned around.
22:02I had never seen Julian that angry before.
22:06Why are you coming after my girlfriend?
22:09This bitch stole you from me!
22:11We've known each other for years!
22:12Our parents are friends!
22:14We could have actually gotten married one day!
22:16Why are you taking her side?
22:18I have never liked you that way.
22:20I only ever saw you as a friend.
22:21I didn't reject you publicly because I didn't want to embarrass you.
22:24And this is what you do?
22:26You go after my girlfriend?
22:28We're not friends anymore.
22:30Chloe.
22:32Tears had ruined her makeup by then, and she lunged at me again.
22:36This is all your fault, you bitch!
22:38Stop acting crazy.
22:39And apologize.
22:41To Blair.
22:42Now.
22:43Chloe refused.
22:44Instead, she shouted.
22:47I'll tell your father you're bullying me over some white trash girl!
22:50Julian pulled me into his side.
22:51My father has nothing to do with who I spend time with.
22:55He'd be proud that I protected the person I love.
22:57She bit her lip and stumbled out in humiliation.
23:01Julian comforted me while helping wipe the coffee off my clothes.
23:04The truth was I had texted him the moment Chloe came to find me.
23:08He had gotten there just in time.
23:10After being humiliated in public and losing her place in the cheer squad to me,
23:14Chloe quit the squad altogether.
23:16Turning around and bullying Chloe back wasn't what I wanted.
23:19What I really wanted was to drag what she had done in high school into the light.
23:23I wanted her to face the consequences, so I needed to get my hands on the records from back then.
23:31Being with Julian made me happier than I ever expected.
23:34Some of the things we had in common were things I had dug out of his old social media.
23:38Some of them, though, I genuinely liked.
23:41During spring break, we went offshore together to fish for tuna.
23:44Something hit my line, but I couldn't hold onto the rod.
23:48Julian rushed over to help me.
23:49Oh my god, look how big it is!
23:52The two of us fumbled so badly that we ended up falling into each other.
23:55We watched the fish get away, then looked at each other and burst out laughing.
23:59That was the moment I really fell in love with fishing.
24:02His family was always busy, and the big Mercer house was often empty,
24:06so sometimes I stayed there with him overnight.
24:08We held hands and went grocery shopping like an ordinary couple.
24:12Julian was actually a really good cook.
24:14Wearing an apron, he set a dish on the table.
24:17My signature seafood paya. Try it.
24:20Then he crouched down on the floor, peeling shrimp for Goldie while asking me.
24:24The orange light made him and the cat look impossibly warm.
24:27That night, I rode Julian until we were both exhausted,
24:30then fell asleep wrapped around each other.
24:32Then, sometime after midnight, I got up and went into the Mercer study.
24:37Julian had no guard up around me at all.
24:39Getting the password to his computer had been easy.
24:41The Mercer family was also one of the bored families at Rosewell Prep.
24:45That meant they had access to Rosewell's internal student system,
24:48including the school forum where Chloe had uploaded my photos and videos back then.
24:52What?
24:53I stared at the screen.
24:55The records had been deliberately erased.
