Panic-texting your future college roommate during move‑in...

Conversation

1. please delete that TikTok, it's my laptop in the clip.
2. I already posted it for dorm aesthetic, I didn't see filename.
3. the filename literally says 'Olivia_Final_Essay_AI.docx'.
4. wait your scholarship depends on that essay, right?
5. yes, and admissions runs similarity scans, I could be suspended.
6. I panicked, I didn't think of the filename, I'm so sorry.
7. sorry won't fix screenshots and 200k views.
8. it's at 200k already and climbing.
9. whoever filmed saved the clip, downloads are already out.
10. someone can read the file title in the paused frame.
11. I deleted my upload but TikTok's cache keeps copies.
12. don't tag schools, don't comment, don't contact admissions.
13. I saw comments tagging 'riverton_admissions' and 'honors_office'.
14. oh my god someone literally just DM'd asking for the essay.
15. Maya messaged me 'send file, I can edit' two minutes ago.
16. Maya interns at the campus paper, right?
17. no, she said she's a freelance editor; she DM'd confidentially.
18. she asked for 'examples' and liked your topic.
19. someone screenshotted the filename and sent it to a reporter.
20. who sent it? I only shared with my teacher privately.
21. my bad, I gave Maya a link to 'see the aesthetic'.
22. why did you give a link instead of masking filenames?
23. I didn't think, I wanted content and followers.
24. you traded my scholarship for TikTok views?
25. I panicked and made the worst choice, I'm ashamed.
26. this feels like betrayal, Ava, you knew stakes.
27. I didn't know about your scholarship, you never said.
28. I told you in orientation chats, remember? you replied 'right'.
29. we're all roommates now; lying won't help anyone.
30. I have a saved copy on my phone, I was gonna help.
31. why is there a saved copy? who else has it?
32. Maya asked to hold it while she edited, she downloaded.
33. Maya's linked to a reporter, and now it's public.
34. I can't get kicked out before classes even start.
35. we need a plan fast, or be honest with admissions.
