Chapter 3

That was what I thought anyway.

Zoe clearly didn't see it that way.

Otherwise she wouldn't have asked her boyfriend's friend to come "teach me a lesson."

And I wouldn't have been beaten up by my own boyfriend and his gang.

When I got back to my dorm, my clothes were soaked and filthy.

My roommate wrinkled her nose and asked in surprise, "Lucy, what happened to you?"

"I accidentally fell on my way back," I lied.

"Oh." She looked relieved. "Go take a shower then."

I nodded and took off my face mask. My phone buzzed in my pocket again.

[What are you up to, sweetie?]

[Are you done with your errands?]

[Why aren't you replying to me? (Crying cat emoji)]

[Sweetie?]

I didn't respond. I turned off the screen and went into the bathroom.
