Texting your sister at 2 a.m. after a viral TikTok expose...

Conversation

1. Maya, I just watched a TikTok—you're the woman swapping my envelopes.
2. What TikTok? who posted that, I didn't—
3. It shows you at Mom's desk; my acceptance replaced with a rejection.
4. I moved them for a second, I swear I didn't mean to hurt you.
5. My commencement is tomorrow, Maya, you stole my future.
6. I didn't 'steal' it, I panicked, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
7. The caption says 'kept her home'—how could you keep me from my program?
8. Because I was terrified you'd leave and I couldn't breathe.
9. That's not your decision; I earned that acceptance.
10. I know, and I live with that every minute, I thought I could fix it.
11. Fix it how, Maya? who filmed you? why is this viral?
12. I posted it to confess, then my friend reuploaded it and it exploded.
13. You posted your own crime and then tell me it was to confess?
14. I wanted you to hate me in private so you'd forgive me later.
