Everyone has secrets.

Grace hides hers behind perfect grades and even better smiles. Kaia twists hers into rumors and wraps them in charm. Iris keeps hers folded neatly in silence, too afraid of what might happen if anyone ever looked too close. Rhea's secret broke her, and she's been pretending to be whole ever since. And Ayla-well, no one really knows what she's hiding. She's too new, too polished, too careful.

But I know.

I'm Lyra. I don't start drama. I don't join it either.
I just watch.
I listen.
And I remember.

They say secrets can't stay buried forever. But no one expected the ground to start cracking this fast.

Something is coming apart-something big.
And I'm the only one who sees it happening.
The lies. The betrayals. The guilt no one speaks of.
It's all unraveling, thread by thread.

Not because I want to destroy them.
Not even because I care.
But because truth has teeth.

And it's finally ready to bite.
