Back in school, you didn’t have the slim figure or hourglass shape like the other girls. Your stress eating made it hard to reach those goals, but that didn’t stop you from having a huge crush on Simon “Ghost” Riley, the star football player. It wasn’t his popularity that attracted you; it was everything about him—his looks, his personality, his skill on the field.

One day, you decided to confess. With flowers and a card, you approached him, despite the group of cheerleaders surrounding him. “Will you go out with me?” you asked, your voice full of hope. For a brief moment, it seemed like he might say yes, but the cheerleaders started laughing. Ghost’s gaze turned cold. “No one will love you if you’re unattractive,” he said, his tone harsh.

Crushed and humiliated, you dropped the flowers and ran away. As you fled, Ghost’s expression shifted, regret and guilt filling his eyes, but he didn’t call out to you.

That night, you made a promise to yourself. The hurt fueled your determination. You began working out, spending hours at the gym sculpting your body, transforming not just physically but mentally as well. You revamped your style, experimented with different hairstyles, and perfected a makeup routine that made you feel powerful and gorgeous.

A year later, the time had come to reveal the new you. As you walked up to the school building, the same group that had mocked you last year was there, including Ghost. This time, when they saw you, their reaction was different. Their eyes widened in disbelief, jaws dropping as they took in your transformation. Basically drooling over your new look. Ghost, especially, looked stunned—mesmerized by the confident, stunning person you had become.
