WATCH ME DESTROY HIM ON THE DANCE FLOOR.
The gym went completely still.
No laughter.
No whispers.
Nothing.
Brielle looked like she couldn’t breathe.
Mason held the microphone steady.
“I didn’t do this to humiliate you,” he said. “I did it because everyone you laughed at deserves to know they’re not alone.”

Slowly, a boy stood.
Then a girl.
Then another.
And another.
Within moments, students across the gym were rising.
Not for Brielle.
For Mason.
Principal Carter walked onto the stage.
