Chapter 3

Lily sat outside the interrogation room, red-eyed and sniffling, recounting my "crimes."

"She taunted me, looked down on me, and then crawled on all fours in front of me to humiliate me!"

Does that sound like something a sane person would say?

But the police believed her.

"Why did you taunt her?"

I shrugged.

"I didn't."

The officer scribbled two lines in his notebook, then asked,

"Why were you crawling on all fours to humiliate her?"

I was losing it.

"I wasn't! I really wasn't! She slapped my phone into the river, and I was crawling to find it! Can you guys please listen? What human has four legs?!"

The officer just looked down and scribbled some more in his notebook. In the end, they decided to detain me for three days as a warning.

Then they offered Lily a whole lot of comfort.

I was utterly stunned. This explicit novel's world truly was messed up beyond belief.

I was lonely, desperate, and cold. I missed my mom.
