The last bell.

High school ends, and your future feels like a fresh balance sheet. Part of you wants a break to rebuild your liquid assets (mainly sleep). Another part wants Social Science - Commerce, where accounting, budgets, and cash flow could shape your path toward business and university. The choice feels risky but exciting.

Choice 1 : Take the break.

Choice 2 : Go to college.

Take the break.

The moment you choose the break, reality hits: you're broke. Like, checking-your-bank-account-twice broke. You start thinking of working a full-time job to save money, maybe in retail or something decent. But a tiny part of you dreams about taking a cheap vacation, just disappearing for a bit before real life starts.

Choice 1 : Get the full-time job.

Choice 2 : Go on vacation.

Go to college.

At first, everything goes surprisingly well. You make friends, your classes make sense, and you actually feel motivated. But one morning, you walk into class and freeze because you completely forgot there was an exam. You didn't study at all. Now you're stuck between two options.

Choice 1 : Cheat on the test.

Choice 2 : Try your best.

Get the full-time job.

You get a full-time job quickly, but it's really not great. The hours are long, the customers test your patience, and the boss acts like breaks are optional. Still, the pay is surprisingly good, and you start to wonder whether dealing with all this is worth it. Should you quit or stay at the job?

Choice 1 : Quit the job.

Choice 2 : Stay at the job.

Go on vacation.

You decide you deserve a break, even if your bank account disagrees. While hunting for deals, two offers jump out at you. One is a shockingly cheap trip to Paris: croissants, museums, and the Eiffel Tower. The other is an amazing offer for Rome, with ancient ruins, pasta everywhere and sunsets that look unreal. Both feel impossible to ignore.

Choice 1 : Go to Paris.

Choice 2 : Go to Rome.

Cheat on the test.

Your hands shake as you stare at the paper. There's no way you can answer any of this. You glance around, hoping the teacher isn't looking. On your left, someone is writing fast. On your right someone seems relaxed and confident. If you're going to cheat, you have to pick one.

Choice 1 : Copy the left neighbor.

Choice 2 : Copy the right neighbor.

Try your best.

You decide to take the test honestly. It's rough, and you're unsure of most answers, but you push through anyway. When the results come back, you barely pass but, it's enough to keep going. Through the rest of college your grades stay average. Some classes feel easy, others feel impossible, but you manage. In a finance class, you learn how assets, liabilities, and balance sheets work, one of the few subjects that actually clicks for you. By the end, your record isn't perfect, but it's solid enough for university. Now you must choose: Concordia or HEC.

Choice 1 : Concordia.

Choice 2 : HEC.

Quit the job.

You quit, hoping something better will come along... but it doesn't. Weeks pass, and your savings disappear fast. Soon, you're completely broke, with only a tiny bit of money left. Desperate and stressed, you start thinking of risky ways to turn it into something bigger.

Choice 1 : Buy a lottery ticket.

Choice 2 : Go to the casino.

Stay at the job.

As the weeks pass, you slowly get used to the long hours and nonstop workload. It's not your dream job, but you show up you work hard, and people notice. One afternoon, your boss pulls you into the office. Instead of another complaint of lecture, he surprises you: he wants to promote you. Better hours, higher pay, and more responsibility. It sounds great... but also terrifying.

Choice 1 : Accept the promotion.

Choice 2 : Reject the promotion.

Buy a lottery ticket.

With your last bit of money, you walk into a corner store and buy a lottery ticket, half as a joke and half out of desperation. The next day, you check the numbers... and you can't believe it. You actually won. Not a small prize but, the jackpot. Overnight, you go from broke to unbelievably wealthy.

Choice 1 : Start again

Go to the casino.

You walk into the casino with your last bit of money, expecting to lose it in minutes. But somehow, you start winning small amounts at first, then bigger ones. Your confidence grows, and suddenly you're one bet away from becoming rich. Everything comes down to one final spin of the roulette wheel. You're deciding between red or black.

Choice 1 : Choose red.

Choice 2 : Choose black.

Copy the left neighbor.

You lean slightly to the left, trying to read his answers. But he notices right away. He snaps his head toward you, whispering, "stop". Before you can pull back, he raises his hand and tells the teacher. You got a zero. It counts for half your grade. You fail the class.

Choice 1 : Start again

Copy the right neighbor.

You lean toward your right neighbor's paper, careful and quiet. They don't react and you manage to copy every answer cleanly. When the teacher returns the tests, your heart nearly stops because you got a perfect 100%. A week later, it gets even crazier. you receive a letter saying you've been chosen for an academic scholarship because of your "outstanding performance."

Choice 1 : Accept the scholarship.

Choice 2 : Reject the scholarship.

Go to Paris.

Paris feels magical the second you arrive. One evening by the Seine, you meet a woman studying abroad. Her smile is warm, her laughs feel familiar, and you instantly click. You talk for hours, discovering you both dream of becoming accountants and opening your own firm. Your vacation ends, but the connection doesn't. You start a long-distance relationship, pushing through school, exams, and late-night calls. When you both finally graduate, you reunite, open an accounting business, and build the quiet, steady, happy life once only imagined under the Paris lights.

Choice 1 : Start again

Go to Rome.

Rome feels like a dream, golden sunsets over the Colosseum, endless pasta, and streets straight out of a postcard. You spend your days exploring ruins and your nights enjoying music in lively piazzas. Everything feels perfect... until one evening. While heading back to your hotel, you take a quiet shortcut through a narrow alley. Suddenly, a black car stops beside you. A group of men steps out, speaking rapidly in Italian. Their expressions harden when they see your face. You realize they've mistaken you for someone involved in their criminal dealings, someone who owes them. Before you can explain, the situation turns deadly. Your Roman adventure ends in a tragic misunderstanding with the Mafia.

Choice 1 : Start again

Accept the promotion.

You take the promotion, nervous at first but excited to prove yourself. To your surprise, you actually start liking the job. The new responsibilities make you feel useful, and the better pay doesn't hurt either. Months turn into years, and you keep climbing: supervisor, manager, director. Eventually, you reach the top as CEO. You're successful, respected and richer than you ever imagined.

Choice 1 : Start again

Reject the promotion.

You turn down the promotion, hoping your job will stay manageable. But nothing improves. The long hours drain you, the customers wear you out, and every shift feels heavier than the last. After months of frustration, you realize you can't stay anymore. You quit, deciding it's finally time to go back to school and build a future you actually want.

Choice 1 : Start again

Concordia.

You choose Concordia, ready to take university seriously. The classes are challenging, but you stay focused and organized. Slowly, your grades climb higher each semester, and you start feeling proud of the work you're doing. By the time you graduate, your transcript looks strong, and employers notice. You land an amazing accounting job with a great salary, great team, great future. Little by little, you build the successful career you always imagined.

Choice 1 : Start again

HEC.

You choose HEC, excited for a fresh start. At first, everything feels new and fun. You make friends quickly, and the campus energy pulls you in. Soon, the study sessions turn into parties, and the parties turn into late mornings and missed classes. Your grades drop fast, and by the end of the semester, you've failed most of your courses. Realizing you're completely off track, you drop out, telling yourself you need to take a break to rest your life and figure out what you actually want.

Choice 1 : Start again

Choose red.

You take a deep breath and put everything on red. The wheel spins, clicking louder with every pass. It slows... then lands on black. Your heart drops. You tell yourself you can win it back, so you keep betting again and again. But every spin goes wrong. Within minutes, you lose everything. You walk out completely broke.

Choice 1 : Start again

Choose black.

You place everything you have on black, barely able to breathe as the wheel spins. The ball bounces, slows, wobbles... lands perfectly on black. The dealer nods, pushing a massive pile of chips toward you. Just like that you've won big. You cash out, stunned, and walk out of the casino rich.

Choice 1 : Start again

Accept the scholarship.

You accept the scholarship, hoping you can keep up. At first, things seem fine, but the pressure gets intense. Classes feel harder, your grades drop, and no amount of studying fixes it. Eventually, you lose the scholarship. The disappointment hits hard, and all the stress piles up until you completely burn out, unsure of what comes next.

Choice 1 : Start again

Reject the scholarship.

You reject the scholarship, choosing to stay honest. Without the pressure, you study harder and your grades steadily improve. By the end of college, you're strong enough academically to get into a great university. After graduating, you land an amazing accounting job that you earned through real work, not luck or cheating.
