She Stole My Comic Ending And My Crush Chapter 13

Keira wanted to defend me again, but I shook my head.

“I’ve already done everything I can. I’m not spending the rest of the quarter managing strangers’

opinions.”

“I understood,” she said, “but seeing it still made me…”

“Then don’t look.” My voice was calm.

“We aren’t as important to strangers as the internet makes us feel. In a few days, most of them will forget.

“Studying and building a better life will never be the wrong choice.”

Keira stared at me. “Did I ever tell you I was one of the few National Merit Scholars from my state admitted to Kingsley?”

“Then I reached Kingsley’s math program and felt completely ordinary.”

She swallowed. “You’re different.

“You make it seem as though every problem has an answer.

“You aren’t a glamorous influencer, but looking at you makes me feel steady. You make me want to work

harder and become someone better.”

Jocelyn pinched her arm. “Were you physically incapable of giving a compliment without insulting the

person first?”

She turned to me. “Mira, you’re beautiful.

“It’s the quiet kind that people notice more every time they see you.”

I laughed. “Thank you.

“Both of you.”

We stopped following the comments.

The controversy, however, moved in a direction none of us expected.

It began when an anonymous user posted a long response.

[I’ve stayed quiet long enough. Last year, Adrian’s girlfriend met my roommate through me and confessed

to him.

He rejected her. Now, barely a year later, she claims she has secretly loved Adrian for two years?]

[If Adrian believes that timeline, neither of them has any right to keep dragging an innocent woman into their drama.J

At first, people accused the user of being a rejected admirer who had turned bitter.

The accusation made him angry enough to upload screenshots documenting Brielle’s earlier confession and the conversation in which he comforted his roommate after the rejection.

He hid only the other man’s identity.

The evidence was difficult to dispute.

Other users then discovered that Brielle had entered Kingsley as a recruited arts student after claiming residency in an underserved rural county.

Records suggested her family had manipulated that residency to qualify for a regional admissions

preference.

The revelation destroyed the gifted-scholar persona she presented online.

At that point, the story was no longer harmless relationship gossip.

Brielle had been discussing a role in a streaming miniseries, and viewers began demanding that the producers drop her.

All of it happened in less than a week.

“Karma really didn’t waste time,” Jocelyn said after giving me the shortest possible summary.

I did not answer.

I only looked at the single post visible on Adrian’s Instagram.

[Through all the noise, I was standing beside you.]

He was giving Brielle the unwavering devotion he had always wanted for himself.
