The next day, Ethan found himself sitting in his dorm room, staring at the ledger. Aiden Reeves came to mind—his classmate, always so confident, always so sure of himself. Ethan had never liked him. He was arrogant, rude, and yet, he always seemed to have everything going for him. The perfect student, the perfect life.
What if Aiden lost his scholarship? Ethan smiled to himself, the idea feeling strange but strangely satisfying. He had nothing against Aiden personally. It was just the idea that he could change it, that he could control something.
He wrote:
> "Aiden Reeves loses his scholarship."
The next morning, Ethan received an email. At first, it seemed mundane—until the words jumped out at him:
"Aiden Reeves has been disqualified from the scholarship program due to a review of his academic standing."
Ethan stared at the screen, frozen. It was perfect. Aiden, who had once seemed so untouchable, now found himself struggling, his future uncertain. It felt like power coursing through his veins. He had rewritten fate, and the world had obeyed.
The rush of it overwhelmed him, but beneath it, there was a cold weight. What had he done? The consequences of his actions hadn't fully hit him yet. But soon, they would.
