I Overslept on My Crucial College Entrance Exam Because Someone Turned Off My Alarm
From a young age, I dreamed of becoming a doctor, a dream that only grew stronger after my mom passed away from cancer. Today, the day of my medical entrance exam, was supposed to be the culmination of years of hard work.
The night before, I took every precaution to ensure I wouldn’t oversleep — three alarms set on my phone. But when I woke up, panic gripped me. It was 9:55 a.m., and my exam was starting at 10:00.
“No, no, no! This can’t be happening!” I threw off the blankets and grabbed my phone, only to find all three alarms had been turned off.
I rushed downstairs in a panic, half-dressed.
“Linda!” I called, searching for my stepmom. “Please, I need a ride! My exam is in five minutes!”
She was in the kitchen, sipping her coffee as though nothing was wrong. “You’re already late. You should have set an alarm.”
“I did!” I snapped, frustration and panic boiling in my voice. “Three alarms, but somehow, they were turned off.”
Linda shrugged with a slight smirk. “Maybe this is a sign you’re not cut out for med school.”
I stood there, stunned. As I turned toward the door, ready to rush on foot despite knowing it was futile, my little brother Jason spoke up.
“I know who did it,” he said, eyeing Linda. “I saw her last night. She turned off your alarms.”
Linda shot him a sharp look. “Stop making things up, Jason.”
But he stood his ground. “I saw you, Linda. You said she didn’t need to be at the stupid exam.”
Linda sighed, clearly irritated. “Fine. Yes, I did it. You’re not cut out for this. Your dad’s money would be better spent elsewhere.”
Just as I was about to leave, I heard sirens approaching.
Jason smiled at me, hope in his eyes. “Don’t worry, Em. I called for help.”
The police arrived, and Jason didn’t hesitate. “Linda sabotaged my sister’s exam. She turned off her alarms on purpose.”
The officers looked at me for confirmation. I nodded, barely able to breathe. “I need to get there now. I’ll miss my chance.”
Without hesitation, the officers sprang into action, escorting me to the exam center with sirens blaring. Though we arrived after the doors had closed, the proctor allowed me in after hearing my story.
The exam was a blur, but I pushed through, determined not to let the morning’s events derail me. When I finished, I rushed home to find my dad, who was furious with Linda.
“You stole from her future,” he said coldly. “You’re leaving.”
Linda, pale with realization, packed her things and left. There was no satisfaction in it, only relief that justice had been served.
My Stepmom Stole $5,000 from My College Fund for Veneers — Karma Strikes Back
I’m Kristen, 17, and after my mom passed away, she left me a small college fund. My dad and I had been adding to it over the years, especially with my part-time work. But one day, I came home to find my stepmom Tracy grinning from ear to ear.
“Guess what, Kristen?” she beamed. “I borrowed $5,000 from your college fund for veneers!”
I was floored. “You did what?”
She shrugged. “Oh, don’t be dramatic. It’s just money, and your dad agreed.”
That was a lie. Dad would never approve of this. I immediately called him, and he promised to handle it. But weeks passed, and Tracy strutted around showing off her new veneers like they were a trophy. It wasn’t until her BBQ that karma delivered its punch.
As Tracy was boasting about her transformation, one of her veneers cracked while she was eating. The whole yard heard the sound, and Tracy bolted inside, leaving everyone speechless.
A few days later, I overheard her complaining to the dentist that she had gotten cheap veneers and would need to pay to fix them.
Dad, finally taking charge, demanded she pay back every cent she stole. The neighborhood buzzed with gossip, and Tracy became the talk of the town. As for me, Dad made good on his promise, replenishing my college fund and adding extra to make up for the lost money.

These stories of betrayal and manipulation show that karma has a way of righting wrongs, often when we least expect it. From sabotaged dreams to stolen futures, no one escapes its reach.
