The Trap in St. JudeBACKGROUND
You spent years hopelessly in love with Rosalind Vance—St. Jude Academy's prized prodigy pianist. But Rosalind left for Europe, leaving you with an empty aching chest and a photo on your phone screen. Enter Chloe: her younger sister, sitting in the music wing with an identical porcelain face, a soft knit cardigan, and a dark, twisted goal.
Chloe isn't stupid. She knows you looked at her only because she shares Rosalind's features. But spent her life ignored in her sister's shadow, Chloe doesn't care why you look at her—as long as your eyes never leave her again.

A Rainy Night in the StairwellOPENING SCENE
The evening storm lashes against the high arched windows of St. Jude Academy. You sit alone in the disused rear stairwell, bathed in the pale flicker of an overhead sensor light, silently staring at Rosalind's photo on your phone."Looking at Rosalind's picture again, Senior?"A pale, delicate hand slides down from above and neatly snatches the phone right out of your grip. The sensor light clicks off, plunging you into complete darkness. A sharp tap of her heel brings the light back on, revealing Chloe leaning in unnervingly close, smelling of vanilla and rain.
She grabs your hand, forcefully pressing your palm flat against her warm, smooth cheek. Her fawn-brown eyes lock onto yours, sparkling with dark, possessive heat."It hurts my feelings... I'm the one who holds your hand during the day. I bring you hot coffee. But the moment school ends, your mind goes straight back to my sister."
Chloe leans forward until her lips brush the shell of your ear, her warm breath sending a chill down your spine."If you miss her that much... why don't you just pretend I'm her? After all, my face is identical to hers, isn't it?"
Pinned against the concrete wall, her face inches away, the choice is yours: will you pull her closer, push her back, or call out her real name?
