A Scary Summer Adventure Chapter 1

My dormmates are my bullies. When they hear that my father owns a factory, they force me to get them part-time jobs there for the summer.

I look down at the wounds they've inflicted on me and smile. They've just served themselves up for slaughter—they've given me the perfect opportunity to get revenge on them.

My father's factory isn't as great as they think—it's known for its strange happenings.

"Melanie, I heard your dad owns a big factory. You should get us summer jobs there."

I trembled as I stared at the group of young women who had cornered me in the restroom. I kept my head down, too scared to respond.

"Hey, I'm talking to you! What, are you deaf?"

One of them, undeniably beautiful, grew impatient with my silence and shoved me hard. The force knocked me off balance, and I fell backward into the filthy toilet bowl. In an instant, I was covered in filth.

The others frowned and covered their noses in disgust.

"Ugh, gross! You're as nasty as you smell," one spat.

"Beth, why do we even need to work at her father's factory? Let's find somewhere else to work during the summer. Just look at her. She doesn't seem like someone from a rich family."

Hearing that, memories of my father's factory came rushing back. Suddenly, I began to shiver uncontrollably.

"But I heard the city's biggest factory belongs to her family," Bethany Reed replied. "The pay is supposedly the best in town, and they even issue internship completion certificates."

As soon as she finished speaking, all eyes turned to me.

Bethany continued, "Prime Works Factory is your family's, right? You'll figure out how to get us in. Once summer break starts, we're heading there. Also, get us cushy positions. You know, the kind where we sit in air-conditioned offices and drink coffee all day."

She was the leader of the group. As she spoke, she lifted my chin with the tip of her shoe. Her red lips curled into a sneer, and her gaze pierced through me, as if I was nothing more than a speck of dust.

"I… You can't work there. I-It's not up to me," I stammered, hoping they'd drop the idea of working at my family's factory.

"What's that supposed to mean? Don't you realize how lucky you are that we'd even want to work at your father's factory? Instead of being grateful, you're trying to stop us?"

Behind Bethany stood Charlotte Lynch. She was the cruelest in the group and the one who bullied me the most.

Right then, she stormed forward and yanked my hair. Then, she slapped me again and again. Before long, my face burned with pain, and blood began trickling down from the corner of my mouth.

"Enough. Let her go," Bethany ordered.

She leaned in close, her lips brushing against my ear as she hissed, "Listen, Melanie Parker. We're not asking for your permission—we're simply telling you how it's going to be.

"The factory belongs to your family, and you're your dad's only daughter. Surely you mean a lot to him? If you can get us in, your life at school could be a lot easier. You wouldn't want to keep suffering, would you?"

Bethany's words lingered, tempting me to escape the bullying.

The memories of the torment I had endured flooded back. A chill ran down my spine without me even realizing it, and I shook my head frantically.

The sight of my reaction brought a satisfied smile to Bethany's face.

"Good. Get us in and make sure we get decent positions. Then, we'll treat you like a friend."

But…

I hesitated, the thought of my family's factory weighing heavily on me.

Charlotte seemed to notice my reluctance. In a flash, she raised her fist, ready to strike again.

I quickly shielded my head—it was a reflex by now.

"I-I'll do it! Please, don't hit me!" My voice cracked, and fear filled my eyes as I looked up at them.

"See? That wasn't so difficult."

With that, Bethany rose and led the others out.

As I watched their retreating figures, I shakily pulled out my phone and dialed the number I knew by heart.

"Hello, Dad?"

A Mirror Too Honest  Novel Cover
7.0
‎ ‎ ‎Sophia Hayes has perfected the art of control. In the high-pressure world of The Metropolitan, she's the youngest senior journalist ever hired-an achievement built on ruthless discipline, flawless execution, and a reputation that makes even seasoned reporters double-check their facts before speaking to her. She is sharp. Unshakeable. Precise to the bone. Her life runs on deadlines, color-coded calendars, and emotional walls tall enough to withstand anything. ‎ ‎Dean Mercer is everything she isn't-and everything she doesn't have time for. A wildly successful illustrator whose comic series Love Is a Mess has a cult following online, Dean lives in a world where structure is optional and inspiration is everything. His apartment is chaos. His sleep schedule is chaos. His heart is chaos. He creates brilliance in messy strokes but hides his deepest truths behind humor, charm, and a smile that masks more wounds than he lets on. ‎ ‎So when the magazine pairs them for a high-stakes project-a revolutionary feature blending investigative journalism with illustrated storytelling-everyone expects disaster. Sophia expects worse. ‎ ‎Their assignment: explore modern love through real stories across the city. Raw, unfiltered, unpredictable love. ‎ ‎Exactly the kind of assignment that makes Sophia want to run. ‎ ‎Dean arrives late to their first meeting with coffee stains and excuses. Sophia arrives with a binder thick enough to double as a weapon. Dean studies her timeline like it's written in a foreign language. Sophia studies Dean like he's a problem she needs to solve before he derails everything she's built. ‎ ‎Their partnership begins in sparks-sharp, heated, dangerous sparks. ‎Arguments disguised as discussions. ‎Discussions disguised as power struggles. ‎Power struggles disguised as creative differences. ‎ ‎But tension has a habit of twisting into something else when the nights grow long. ‎ ‎As they dive into the city-interviewing strangers whose love stories survived decades, storms, heartbreaks, second chances-something shifts between them. Slowly. Quietly. Against both of their wills. ‎ ‎Sophia begins to see past Dean's easy humor to the man underneath-the one who fears failing the people he cares about, who draws comics because it's the only way he knows how to tell the truth. And Dean sees the cracks in Sophia's armor-the vulnerability she protects like a secret, the softness she doesn't show, the fire in her that the world misunderstands as coldness. ‎ ‎Their conversations deepen. Their arguments soften. Their laughter blends. ‎And the chemistry-the kind they both pretend not to notice-tightens around them like an invisible thread. ‎ ‎But the closer they get, the heavier the air becomes. Because both of them are hiding something. ‎ ‎Sophia hides her fear of losing control. ‎Dean hides his fear of being the reason someone gets hurt. ‎ ‎And the feature they're creating-meant to uncover the truth about modern love-begins exposing truths they never meant to reveal. About each other. About themselves. ‎ ‎Their late-night work sessions grow intimate, electric. Their stories blur with the stories they're collecting. Dean sketches Sophia without meaning to-capturing expressions she never lets the world see. Sophia writes notes about him she can't bring herself to delete. Something real starts forming in the space between them, fragile but undeniable. ‎ ‎Until the past they both buried finds them. ‎ ‎A mistake from Dean's life-one he thought he'd left behind-reaches the editorial floor at the worst possible time. A detail with enough weight to derail the feature, shatter their progress, and wound the one person who finally saw him clearly. ‎ ‎Sophia's instinct is survival. Run before she gets hurt. Seal her heart before it cracks open. Dean's instinct is retreat. Protect her from the version of himself he fears is still true. ‎ ‎Deadlines tighten. Trust fractures. ‎Their work stalls, their communication splinters, and the connection they've been dancing around threatens to snap under the strain. ‎ ‎But desire doesn't listen to logic. ‎And hearts don't obey deadlines. ‎ ‎Even as they pull away, they keep orbiting each other-drawn back together by an ache neither can extinguish. Their arguments deepen into something rawer, heavier. Their silence holds more meaning than their words. ‎ ‎They must choose: ‎fight for the story that could define their careers... ‎or fight for the connection that could rewrite their futures. ‎ ‎And when an unexpected message, a truth revealed too late, and one irreversible decision collide, they're forced to confront the question their feature was meant to answer: ‎ ‎What does love look like today- ‎and can two people living at opposite rhythms find it before it slips through their fingers? ‎ ‎On the edge of losing their partnership... ‎their second chance... ‎and each other... ‎ ‎
