You Chose the Cheerleader, I Chose Yale

At eighteen, I gave my virginity to Hunter in his bed.
I swallowed all the pain and hesitation, naively believing that three years of a pathetic crush had finally earned my way into his heart.
Until the next morning, when I heard his teammates' unabashed mockery:
"Damn, you finally bagged the nerd? How was it?"
Hunter scoffed, his tone dripping with utter contempt.
"Just messing around. If I'm bringing a real girlfriend out, it's gotta be someone on Serena's level—head cheerleader."
I wordlessly opened my college application portal, deleted the garbage local state school I had picked just to stay with him, and changed it back to Yale.
He confidently thought I would follow him blindly, until he video-called me on opening day and completely lost his mind seeing who was beside me: his own stepbrother.
