Chapter 1 I'm Going

I answered the call, and Wendy screeched, "Are you mad, Emilia?"I pulled the phone away from my ear and glanced at myself in the mirror."That post is just a joke. They were just trying to liven things up!" she continued, scolding me as though I had done something wrong. "And you commented with your main account? The whole school is raring to see you fail!"I turned off the faucet and wiped my hands on a towel. "If it really was a joke, why'd you show them my fattest photo back in Grade 11? You know I was taking hormonal drugs back then."Silence followed, then she pretended to be hurt. "I just want to help you get over it. You've always had low self-esteem, so I thought I'd post the photo. Everyone would laugh, and then it'd be over."She sighed, as if I was a child who could not understand her kindness. "I was risking my reputation just to help you train your courage, and you're calling me oversensitive?"I looked at the stains of water on the countertop and said nothing."An

Chapter 2 Rejected

The next day came, and a courier knocked on my dorm's door. "Ms. Emilia? Your package."I signed off on the package and took the lightweight gift box into my room. The moment I opened it, I froze.Inside was an XL neon-pink tutu dress. Across the front was an enormous cartoon pig.My phone buzzed. Wendy's cloying voice came through, as if she wanted to be praised for this. "Did you get the dress? I went through three malls in the city center before I finally found the size that can fit you. Pink's great with the skin. You'll look adorable in that."I checked the brand. This was an XL piece specifically made for gag videos.Claire sent me more snapshots of the group chat. Ten minutes earlier, Wendy had posted a photograph of the dress. "Her armor has been sent."Guy A texted, "Bruh, that looks like what a pig would wear for its own wedding."Girl B texted, "Well, guess we'll see Princess Pink Elephant make her shocking debut tonight."Wendy replied, "Guys, be nice. It's already

Chapter 3 Fake Friend

The orientation ended at five, and the broadcasting club was still playing. I avoided the throng and waited inside the abandoned art room beside Bamboo Park. The dusty window on the second floor gave a perfect vantage point over the whole low-lying garden.…At quarter past five, Wendy and a dozen people entered the park. She was wearing full makeup and a fitted floral dress, and she took up the place of leadership. "Move it, people. In your position."Harold, get some guys and hide behind the fake mountain. Best vantage there. Winona, hide under the wisteria pergolas, and turn on silent mode. Make sure the flash isn't on."I watched them spread out and took cover, while Harold took out a bluetooth speaker. "I got the sound effects right here, Wendy. Elephant footsteps and trumpets. It'll be a blast."He pressed play, and the dull sounds reverberated in the park. Claire stood on the edge of the pergola, frowning. "This is going too far, Wendy. We're all at the same university. Y

Chapter 4 She's Here

It was ten minutes to six. I was leaning on the wall, going through my phone. Claire had sent me screenshots of that group chat's messages, and the messages were still pouring in.Harold texted, "It's nearly six. Where's Elephant? My hand's getting sore."Girl B answered, "I bet she's having cold feet. She's just going to embarrass herself in front of Jonathan with that size."Guy C added, "Wasted half an hour for nothing. My legs are numb, and the mosquitoes are having a feast."…Down in the park, Wendy stood beside the pavilion, visibly irritated. She chewed her lip in frustration and blasted my phone with calls. I switched my phone to silent mode and ignored every call.Eventually, she gave up and sent a voice message to the group chat instead. "Give it some time." Her voice reached everyone, and I heard it clearly. "I've been encouraging her all I can. Even bought her some clothes at the mall yesterday."Her voice was filled with resignation and regret. "Still, she's not br

Chapter 5 Surprise, Surprise

Dappled sunlight shone through the cracks between the wisteria vines and landed on my face. A breeze swept through the park, lifting my ponytail and revealing the sharp line of my jaw. The wind pushed my shirt closer to my skin, accentuating my slim waistline.Dead silence fell into Bamboo Park. The voice effects were still playing, but Harold was frozen behind the fake mountain, forgetting to stop the footage.Someone lost their grip on their phones, and it fell into the grass. That thud broke a silent spell that was cast over the park, and the people in the shadows gasped sharply.Whispers drifted from behind the artificial hill."Who's that hottie?""I thought Emilia was coming for a confession? What's this angel doing here?""Maybe she's just passing by! Someone ask for her number!"Wendy stared at my face, her pupils shaking. She stepped forth, and her heel scratched against the stony ground. "You…"The familiar outline of my eyes told her it was me, but her mind was refus

Chapter 6 Letter Accepted

I turned away from Wendy and looked at the stunned crowd around us. Then I walked over to the stone table, unzipped my canvas bag, and took out a pale blue envelope.Then I turned around and presented it to Jonathan. "For you, Jonathan."Jonathan looked at the envelope. Just when he was about to take it, someone's hand appeared from the side and smacked my wrist away. "No!"Wendy jumped in like a bristling cat, standing between Jonathan and me. Her chest was heaving, and her nails dug deeply into her palms. "Don't take it, Jonathan! This is just a punishment game between us girls!"She turned and stared at me, trying to salvage this situation with what was left of her bravado. "Drop the act. You don't even like Jonathan. This doesn't count!"I watched her struggle, my eyes cold. "You made that post, you started the challenge, and you gathered all these people here to watch." My voice remained calm, but every word seemed to cut deeper. "You don't have the right to call it quits now

Chapter 7 Sob Story

"What do you mean, you've been waiting for a whole year?" Harold nearly stuck his whole body out from behind the fake mountain. He was still holding the speaker, and he was in disbelief. "You've known her for a year?"Wendy snapped out of it and screamed out loud as if she had found her lifeline. "Impossible! She was fatter than a swine a year ago! She didn't even dare to step out of her room. You couldn't have known her!"She was pointing at me, her finger shivering from jealousy. Jonathan glanced at her coldly, as if he was looking at a piece of trash. He then turned around and faced the hiding crowd who were listening intently.His voice echoed across Bamboo Park. "It was at Southlake Park, last year's fall."Last year's fall. The time when I weighed 200 pounds thanks to my treatment, and it was my darkest hour. I started extreme dieting to slim down and went on insane night runs at the park during midnight.One night, everything went black around me, and I fainted on a track w

Chapter 8 Unrepentant

The students who did not know the full story exchanged uncertain looks."Yeah. Wendy used to be nice to Emilia. I saw them together all the time.""I know. This joke might be overboard, but she doesn't have to go so far."I watched Wendy cry, and all I felt was disgust. "Did you ever really care about me?" I interrupted her coldly. "If you were really my friend, why didn't you apologize after posting that photo on the confession wall?"Wendy's eyes flickered, but she still refused to give up. "That was just a joke! One photo couldn't have hurt you if you weren't so insecure!""You call that a joke?" Claire stepped out of the shadows. Her phone screen glowed in her hand. She looked directly at Wendy. "A joke, huh?"Then, she opened an audio recording and turned the volume all the way up. Wendy's own voice rang across Bamboo Park."And bring your power banks, people. Also, hold your phone firmly when you record anything.""Make sure you get the part where she cries her heart ou

Chapter 9 Fearless

The moment I approached, Wendy forced tears into her eyes for the camera. "Emilia, I want to beg for your forgiveness right in front of the whole campus." She stepped toward me and reached for my hand. I moved aside."I confess, I'm jealous of you, but the days we've gone through aren't fake." She cried like she meant it, and the comments started defending her. Of course, they were those who had no idea of the whole story."She's already apologized. Show some mercy.""Yeah. Emilia's heartless."I stood three feet away, watching her coldly. "You made up rumors with my medical history, hinting that I took illegal drugs and went through liposuction. And you did all of that to attract attention to this livestream." I pointed at the phone that was standing on a tripod. "You call this an apology?"Her expression shifted, but she quickly resumed her victim act. "Why do you keep seeing me as the villain?" She suddenly stepped forward again and grabbed my wrist. "I just don't want to los
