Saint Rose Institute wasn't just any school.
The children of entrepreneurs, doctors, politicians, judges, and some of the country's most influential families studied there. In its hallways, surnames carried as much weight as grades, and a single rumor could change someone's reputation in a matter of hours.
Inside 's classroom, moreover, there was a dynamic that everyone knew about.
CROWN.
A private app created exclusively for that class.
Every week, students received three anonymous votes to distribute among their classmates. The results determined each student's rank.
S — Crown. A — Elite. B — Popular. C — Neutral. D — Low profile. E — Last place.
At first, it was just a game.
But over time, the ranks started to matter.
had been holding the S position for weeks.
Until one morning, something completely different disrupted the classroom's tranquility.
Julieta walked in, staring at her phone with a strange expression.
—Guys... have you seen this?
Several people looked up.
—What happened? —asked Emma.
Julieta placed her phone on the desk.
On the screen was a photograph.
It didn't belong to CROWN.
It was an anonymous post from an account no one knew.
Underneath the photograph was only one sentence:
«How much do you really think you know your friends?»
The classroom fell silent.
Because the photograph showed something that no one outside of that room should have been able to see.
And a few minutes later, a second post appeared.
This time, it revealed a secret about one of the students.
A secret that was completely true.
For the first time, CROWN stopped being the classroom's biggest concern.
