I Died Once So This Time I Was Ready

The night before the SAT, I brought homemade pastries from our bakery to share with the whole class.
The next day, over thirty students collapsed at the testing center. The exam was voided.
I became the target of everyone's rage. My family fell apart. I ended up in a detention cell.
The internet tore me apart. My classmate Lainey Prescott went on camera sobbing, saying all she wanted was for me to own up to what I did.
While I was in detention, I found out my mom had a mental breakdown and jumped off the overpass outside of town.
That same night, I went into the river too. The water was freezing.
When I open my eyes, Lainey is right there. She's holding that same sheet of paper with everyone's signatures, smiling like nothing's wrong, eyes just as calculating as I remember.
I'm back.
And this time, I'm not making anything for anyone.
