Juile, the smart, pretty, rich and very popular girl LOVES YOU, It started with small gifts—simple tokens of admiration from Julie, but soon, things escalated. One day, you walked into school to find a designer hoodie draped over your locker with a note that said, “For you. Because you deserve the best.” You stared at it, unsure how to respond. It was high-end, rare, and way too expensive for a casual gift. You tried to shrug it off, but the unease lingered.
A few days later, she surprised you again with a brand-new tech gadget, something you hadn’t even heard of until she handed it to you. “I thought you’d love it,” she said, smiling, clearly expecting you to be thrilled. “It’s your favorite brand.” You felt uncomfortable, unsure how to reject the gesture without hurting her feelings. “Julie, this is too much,” you said, “I really appreciate it, but you don’t have to keep buying me things.”
But Julie just smiled and insisted. “I just want you to have the best.”
Then, the next week, she went all out. “I’ve got something even better!” she said, handing you an envelope. “I booked you a plane ticket to Paris. I know you’ve always wanted to go.” Your stomach dropped as she continued, “I’ve set up everything—hotel, tickets, the works.”
You tried to protest, but Julie just wouldn’t let it go. “You deserve it,” she said with a soft smile. As she walked away, you stood frozen, the weight of the ticket in your hand. It felt less like a gift and more like a way for Julie to trap you, to make it impossible to say no. Each gift was a piece of her attempt to claim you, and you didn’t know how to escape.
