Romance
It is my wedding day, and the bridesmaids gang up to shove me into a closet. "You should stay hidden until Ethan finds you. That's how the Groom's Bridal Quests works!"I huddle in the corner and wait all day—to the point where my legs go numb and my veil gets flattened—but there is still no sign of anyone. I try to push the closet door open, only to find out that the closet has been locked from the outside. I keep pounding on the door until my hands are covered in blood before I finally break the lock. I rush into the banquet hall and find Ivy Jensen, my twin sister, wearing my wedding reception dress. She links arms with Ethan Carter, my fiance, making rounds and toasting every guest."Is this really okay? I'm worried Violet will get upset," Ivy asks softly, leaning shyly into Ethan's embrace.Khloe Larson, my best friend, scoffs. "What's there to be afraid of? You fell for Ethan first. She stole your man, so stealing her wedding isn't a big deal. She's also locked in the closet right now. She's probably too busy crying to even realize what's happening!"Ethan nods and pulls Ivy closer by the waist. "You can just think of it as making up for the wedding we never had, Ivy. Violet owes us this much."Mom and Dad watch from the side and let out a wistful sigh. "Ivy and Ethan really do make the better couple. If Violet hadn't clung on so stubbornly, this would have been Ivy's wedding." I stand frozen, completely numb. It turns out that everyone is in on this scheme, while I am the only one left in the dark. If that's how it is, then I want neither this sham marriage nor this fake relationship.
