Miracle Johnson was not your average 15-year-old. In fact, many teachers swore he was the human embodiment of a group project: unpredictable, occasionally brilliant, but mostly stressful. In just three months at Ironspike High, he'd become a legend.
His record?
Set off the fire alarm with a flaming pop tart.
Replaced the principal's coffee with soy sauce.
Held an unofficial pep rally in the library with a Bluetooth speaker and fog machine.
He called it: "Vibing 101."
But none of that gave him as much fame—or embarrassment—as his obsession with Jess Martinez, the most popular girl in school. She was smart, athletic, had 3.2 million followers on TokTik, and could break a boy's soul with one eyebrow raise.
And yet, every week, without fail, Miracle confessed to her.
Every. Single. Week.
In different, increasingly dramatic ways.
Galen the Gremlin, Miracle's partner-in-crime was Galen—a weird, wild kid who once tried to sell "invisible dragons" to freshmen for $5 each and almost started a cult called "The Slurpee Brotherhood." Galen was always down for chaos, and even helped Miracle plan his confessions. His latest advice?
"This time, bro… you ride in on a goat wearing a tuxedo. That's alpha energy."
Miracle nodded. "Yes. The goat symbolizes my stubborn love. I like it."
Jess, meanwhile, had started documenting the confessions as a web series titled "He Did WHAT This Time?" It had 400k subscribers and growing.
Top 5 most absurd confessions:
#5: Skywriting "I 💘 Jess" above the school. Unfortunately, he misspelled it as "I 💘 JESSICA," which was the lunch lady's name. Jessica (the lunch lady) accepted.
#4: Hired a barbershop quartet to sing "Jess, Be Mine" during history class. One of the singers was his math teacher.
#3: Reenacted the Romeo and Juliet balcony scene—except the "balcony" was the vending machine, and he fell off it mid-monologue.
#2: Dressed up as a medieval knight and challenged her boyfriend to a duel. The boyfriend was on crutches. Miracle lost.
#1: Stood on top of the cafeteria table and rapped his confession over a beatbox version of the school anthem. He was banned from lunch for a week.After Confession #99—where he tried to give Jess a bouquet of 99 mini tacos ("because she's spicy and I'm loco")—Miracle was done.
Or so he claimed.
"I'm retiring," he told Galen, dramatically placing a bucket on his head like a helmet. "No more love. I'm going monk."
Galen blinked. "Can I have your confession cape?"
But then… it happened.
Jess walked up to Miracle. For the first time ever.
"I heard you're done confessing."
He nodded solemnly. "It was a noble run."
She shrugged. "That's too bad. I was kinda getting used to it."
Miracle.exe stopped responding.
Confession #100.
The next day, Miracle stood in front of the whole school, microphone in hand, cape blowing in the wind (provided by two fans Galen borrowed from the science lab).
He took a deep breath. "Jess… this is Confession #100. And also… my last." The crowd gasped. Jess smirked. Galen was sobbing.
"I've climbed vending machines, battled boyfriends, and humiliated myself for the culture—but today, I'm confessing something new:"
He pointed to Galen.
"I also love Galen… like a brother. And I love this school. And I love chaos. So this is not goodbye.."
Miracle stopped his confessions..for 2 days.
Enter The Threat.
Ironspike High was still recovering from Miracle's 100th confession, which ended in confetti, tears, and an impromptu chicken nugget fight in the cafeteria. Miracle was finally chilling…until a new transfer student arrived:
Kai Valentine.
Perfect hair. Perfect teeth. Plays the guitar. Captain of his old school's fencing team. Smells like cinnamon and danger.
Miracle's life flashed before his eyes the moment Jess said: "Hey Kai. Wanna sit with me?"
Miracle whispered to Galen, "This is Defcon 'Bro She Laughed at His Joke.' We're going to war."
After lunch, in the janitor's closet (which they'd converted into their "Secret Chaos HQ"), Miracle paced while Galen chewed on a glow stick.
"Okay," Miracle said. "We have two options."
-"Pretend to be mature and let Jess decide who she likes."
- "Sabotage Kai like it's Mario Kart and we got blue shells."
Galen raised a hand. "Option 3: Fake your own death and show up at her window dramatically with flowers."
"…That's Option 2 in disguise."
Miracle launched a full campaign against Kai:
Replaced his shampoo with mayonnaise (Kai somehow got shinier).
Joined the fencing club to duel him—accidentally poked the PE teacher instead.
Stole Kai's guitar mid-lunch and tried to perform "Jess, You're My GPS."
(The school now refers to that as The Great Musical Tragedy.)
None of it worked.
Kai just smiled. Handsome. Chill. Infuriating.
Jess? She was clearly enjoying the show.
At the Fall Dance, Miracle came with a plan: confess one final time, win Jess over, and defeat Kai with sheer dramatic flair.
He showed up in a tuxedo made of duct tape and LED lights. Galen DJed with an iPad and a frying pan. There were fog machines. A bubble cannon. A llama (don't ask).
He grabbed the mic. "Jess. You've seen my chaos. You've seen my heart. Now see my soul—"
"Miracle!" she interrupted, laughing. "I get it. You're a walking anime character. I like you, alright? But not like that."
The room froze.
Galen dropped the pan.
Kai looked up from eating a cupcake.
Jess shrugged. "You're my favorite person to roast. But you're not my rom-com ending."
Miracle sat on the school roof, legs swinging over the edge. Galen brought up two slices of pepperoni.
"You okay?" Galen asked.
Miracle smiled, stuffing his face. "Honestly? Yeah."
He looked out at the school.
"She's right. I'm not a rom-com ending. I'm more like…a sitcom episode with occasional explosions."
Galen grinned. "And that's why you're the GOAT. But like, the screaming kind. Baaah."
They both burst out laughing.
From below, Kai waved. "Yo, Miracle! Wanna play me in dodgeball tomorrow?"
Miracle smirked. "You're on, Valentine. But if I win, you gotta sing backup on my next confession!"
