Lena[Broadcast Member]
Everything’s loaded and ready.
Lena[Broadcast Member]

🎙️ [LIVE: Morning Broadcast]
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
🎙️ Here’s a letter from a fellow student…
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
🎙️ I feel like no one likes me. I try hard to fit in, but people still ignore me.
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
🎙️ *pauses*
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
🎙️ Here’s the truth:
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
🎙️ If you're trying that hard and still getting ignored…
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
🎙️ Maybe you're just acting fake.
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
🎙️ Be real. Or be quiet.
Student C
I’d cry if she read my letter like that 💀
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
*smirking*
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
🎙️ Let’s check the comments, shall we?
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
*Reading comments aloud*
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
🎙️ “Queen.”
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
🎙️ “Too harsh.”
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
🎙️ “True tho.”
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
🎙️ …oh?

[Group Chat: 2-1 Homeroom 👀📚]
Tyler[Broadcast Member]
New semester, new seatmates!
Tyler[Broadcast Member]
Guess who’s next to THE Sierra? 😎
Student A:
Dude...She's famous online but she’s scary irl
Student C
She’s literally hot and mean. My type tbh
Tyler[Broadcast Member]
LOL she hasn’t said a single word to me yet
[Private Chat: Tyler ➡️ Sierra]
Tyler[Broadcast Member]
Hey, just saying hi 👋
Tyler[Broadcast Member]
Guess we’re seat buddies now haha
Sierra[Broadcast Members]

Tyler[Broadcast Member]
Cool cool cool. Silent treatment. I can respect that 😅
Ethan [Broadcast President]
Morning checklist completed.
Ethan [Broadcast President]
Everyone stick to your segment timing.
Ethan [Broadcast President]
And please, try not to arrive LATE.
Truth
Chloe[Broadcast Member]
So about the festival next month...
Chloe[Broadcast Member]
We need a new anchor to boost engagement.
Ethan [Broadcast President]
We could post an open call.
Chloe[Broadcast Member]
Or we could just ask Sierra. She's already a walking brand.
Ethan [Broadcast President]
*visibly uncomfortable*
Ethan [Broadcast President]
You really think she’d say yes?
Chloe[Broadcast Member]
We ask. If she refuses, we move on.
Tyler[Broadcast Member]
Sooo… random, but I think Lena’s voice is really calming.
Tyler[Broadcast Member]
Like, perfect anchor vibes, right?
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
Why are you telling me this?
Tyler[Broadcast Member]
Dunno. Thought we were... talking.
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
We’re not.
[Later That Day – Instagram Story 💥]
@official_Sierra:**
Imagine making a fake account pretending to be me 🙄
Tagging: @Adila_Queen
#DesperateMuch #FakerAlert
~[Group Chat: 2-1 Homeroom]~
Student B
Daaamn, she really called out Adila publicly??
Student C
This is gonna explode 😬
Student A:
Wait… did Adila really do it though?
Student B
Does it matter? Everyone’s turning on her already.
[After School – Ethan Approaches Sierra]
Ethan [Broadcast President]
Sierra
Ethan [Broadcast President]
I’m Producer Ethan from the broadcast club.
Ethan [Broadcast President]
We’d like to invite you to anchor our morning announcements.
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
*laughs*
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
You’re kidding. You want ME to sit in that dusty booth and read announcements?
Ethan [Broadcast President]
You’d be reaching students. Promoting school events. Representing the student body.
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
Sounds like a headache.
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
Not interested.
Ethan [Broadcast President]
Understood.
Ethan [Broadcast President]
I’ll remove you from the candidate list.
[Private Chat: Dad ➡️ Ethan]
Ethan's Dad
What time will you be home tonight?
Ethan [Broadcast President]
Late.
Ethan [Broadcast President]
I’ve got things to finish.

Ethan [Broadcast President]
Sierra, can you come to the studio?
Ethan obsessively cleans the mic stand, wiping the counter again and again—his stress tells on him.
🎙️ **[Present – During Live Broadcast]**
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
*bursts in, voice sharp*
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
Lena, seriously? You just want me to read *that* story on air?
Lena[Broadcast Member]
I picked the story like I always do.
Lena[Broadcast Member]
You wouldn’t be this defensive if it didn’t hit too close, right?
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
Don't play innocent. That was obviously about me.
*(Ethan walks in, eyes narrow.)*
Ethan [Broadcast President]
Okay. Enough. Both of you—out. Now.
**[School Headmaster walk in]**
School Headmaster
This broadcast isn’t your personal battleground. You’re the team lead, Ethan—*act* like it.
*(The school Head walks by... gives Ethan a nod of approval, oddly.)*
Ethan [Broadcast President]
*under breath*
Ethan [Broadcast President]
Great. I’m scolded and applauded in the same breath.
💥 **[Outside the Studio]**
Ethan [Broadcast President]
You hijacked a live broadcast. That’s not okay.
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
You literally recruited me. This is what you wanted, remember?
Ethan [Broadcast President]
I thought you’d actually be responsible.
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
Guess we both misjudged.
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
Fire me if it’s that serious.
Ethan [Broadcast President]
Fine. You’re off the team.
Chloe[Broadcast Member]
Wanna hang out after class? Ice cream?
Julian[Broadcast Member]
Oh… I kinda already made plans. Totally forgot.
Chloe[Broadcast Member]
*tight smile*
Chloe[Broadcast Member]
Got it. Don’t worry about it.
*(She walks away, joining some laughing classmates. Julian watches, clearly bothered.)*
Tyler[Broadcast Member]
Wait—you *quit* the station??
Tyler[Broadcast Member]
Finally, my chance to shine next to Lena 😎
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
Don’t get ahead of yourself.
Sierra[Broadcast Members]
I’m not done figuring out who’s behind the story.
