Tearing Apart My Malicious Roommate1
One of my roommates, Victoria Jones, pretended to accidentally lift up my shirt during the physical examination held by our school, pointing at the stretch marks on my belly due to the rapid weight loss and shouting, "Zoe Hanson, why does your belly look like my sister's? She just gave birth to a child; were you also pregnant before?"
That night, she secretly took my photos and posted them on the school forum with a slander that I gave birth to a rich man's child as his mistress.
Soon, everyone knew that the campus queen was a slut.

Today was the first day of classes, and I excitedly left the dormitory with my two roommates, heading to the classroom.
However, as soon as I came out of the dorm building, I could feel numerous judgmental eyes on me.
"She must be the campus queen of freshmen in our school, Zoe, right?"
"No wonder she got famous before entering our university on our school's forum."
"That's why she got a sugar daddy and was pregnant in the summer before this term started."
"What a slut!"
By the time I reached the downstairs of the classroom building, I felt more and more uncomfortable facing the malicious gossip.
