My roommate Ava sat up in bed with a start.
“Lena, that Peppa Pig blanket belongs to Asher, the school bully! I can’t believe he likes something so childish. They say the most childish on surface is the cruelest man in the world. I heard he broke a guy from Civil Engineering department bones last month and that guy was even hospitalized. Lena, what did you do to piss him off?”
Oh no, this is a disaster!
Just as Ava finished speaking, a WhatsApp message popped up: Asher, the blanket.
The message made my heart sink.
I hesitated for a moment but accepted the request. Before I could even say “hello,” he replied with a short, to-the-point message: “Let’s talk at the playground tonight.”
He was so blunt and commanding.
I swallowed hard and replied, “Okay.”
Lena, what have you done to anger the school bully?
I guess college life really does make everyone a bit crazy. I was just trying to fit in.
