In my previous life, my roommate Madison discovered that college athletes could legally earn millions of dollars through NIL agreements. So Madison posted a viral video on TikTok about manifesting her dream boyfriend. Her manifesting list was epic: "Must be over 6'2", a D1 football quarterback, have a trust fund, a clean record, and drive a G-Wagon." I was terrified she'd ruin her reputation on a whim, or worse, end up as just a toy for those frat boys. I grabbed her phone in a panic, deleted the video, and spilled all the dirty secrets behind dating a star athlete. Madison hesitated, but in the end, she listened to me. However, a month later, a girl from another sorority did the same thing and scored the son of an NFL legend. She got engaged and even showed off a pink Porsche from his mom on Instagram. Madison was so jealous that she lost it. That night, she stormed into my room, screaming at me. She yelled, "If you hadn't been such a control freak, I'd be living in a mansion as a star athlete's wife right now! You ruined my life! You owe me!" With that, she grabbed a box cutter and stabbed me over and over. The cold blade sliced into my body, and I collapsed in a pool of blood. As soon as I opened my eyes, I realized I was back on the day Madison was recording her "manifesting the dream boyfriend" video.
