Just two hours ago, Leonard and I had a long catch-up. We were thrilled to be at the same university after so long apart. He mentioned his mom missed me and had sent a bunch of clothes and bags for me. He was also excited about his new girlfriend, whom he'd met in the freshman group chat. He wanted me to meet her after the ceremony to get the family's approval.
Despite my busy schedule, I happily agreed to Leonard's request. I even made reservations at the best restaurant in town for dinner.
Who would've thought some freshman would be bold enough to target my innocent cousin Leonard?
I composed myself and patted Anna. "Come on, the ceremony's starting. We can gossip later."
As I stepped onto the stage, smiling at the faculty, ready to deliver my opening speech, ten stinging slaps landed on my face in quick succession.
"You slut! You don't deserve to host this ceremony. Got the guts to seduce my boyfriend but not to admit it?
"I'll show everyone what a tramp you are. Playing mistress while being the student council president? You've got a death wish!"
Her long, pointed nails left angry red marks on my face, which swelled immediately.
