The Superstar's Unread Message

Summary

After bombing my SATs, I changed my number, deleted my socials, and ghosted everyone I knew.

Eight years later, at our high school reunion, the class president leaned in and whispered a secret: "Finn Sterling had a crush on you."

I spent days digging through boxes until I found my old phone and logged into the messaging account I had abandoned years ago.

And there it was. A message sitting quietly in my inbox, unread for eight years:

"Which college are you going to? Can I come with you?"

But now? Finn Sterling is a world-famous superstar.
