Tearing Apart My Malicious Roommate

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.

I couldn't help but look back again and again to check what was going on.

But every time I turned around, these burning gazes disappeared.

With a frown, I took out a small mirror from my bag and checked the situation in the reflection of it.

Soon, I caught someone pointing at me and strode towards her, "What are you looking at?"

The girl took three steps back and looked at my belly. "Don't you know what you have done? You're so shameless."

I looked at my roommates in confusion, and clearly, they also had no idea what she was talking about.

Later, the moment I stepped into the classroom, everyone coincided in silence.

After we sat down, a girl approached me hesitantly and asked timidly, "Did you really...?"

"What do you want to say?" I said.

She was Clara Green and lived in the next dorm. But what she said perplexed me.

"Well... Did you... Were you really pregnant in high school?" she said.

"What?" I was stunned.

"Here it is. It got viral on the school forum." She handed me her phone.

The title of this post was that the campus queen secretly gave birth to a child during summer vacation.

I immediately clicked the post.

The anonymous poster uploaded my picture and a zoom-in picture of my belly.

The ugly stretch marks on my belly look particularly hideous under a dark filter.

Netizen A: [Zoe is a bitch.]

Netizen B: [I was in the same high school as her, and she had put on so much weight a year ago.]

Netizen C: [How could she even be pregnant in high school? Why didn't her parents teach her to have a sense of shame?]

Netizen D: [Was she pregnant with her sugar daddy's child?]

Netizen E: [Wow, that's so gross. It makes me uncomfortable to stay on the same campus as her.]

One of my roommates, Anna Moore, asked, "Who is this poster? Why did he or she have a picture of your belly?"

I sneered, "I only told my family and roommates that I had stretch marks on my body."

The other roommate with me, Layla Miller, shook her head. "It's not me. I won't take pictures of your belly. It's so creepy."

"Yeah, and you told us that those marks were because of rapid weight loss when we first met," Anna said.

There were only four people in our dormitory. At this point, the suspect was obvious.
