Lucy crossed her arms and sneered, "Hmph, quit acting innocent. I can't believe someone would have the gall to play the perfect friend to my face while scheming against their own roommates behind our backs."Stella chimed in, "Exactly! And here we thought you were noble, but you're not even apologizing now that you've been exposed."Their sharp words stung like needles."That bonus is only worth 0.5 points." I met Lucy's gaze without backing down. "I've never counted it toward my recommendation score. The counselor has the original records. You can check it out if you don't believe me!"The two exchanged a glance and clamped their mouths shut.My heart turned completely cold upon seeing their reactions.I had genuinely cared for them.During our freshman year, Lucy ran a high fever in the middle of the night. I carried her on my back, wading through icy puddles to the campus clinic for emergency treatment. It was pouring like cats and dogs at the time, so my shoes and socks we

Takeout boxes and snack wrappers had piled up into small mountains in the corners within days. Spilled soup and sauce rendered the floor sticky, so much so that every step felt like a threat of having our shoes stuck to the ground.The entire dorm reeked of rotten food, and I made it my absolute business to stay out of the chaos.A brand-new pair of noise-canceling headphones blocked out all the noise and complaining as I focused on keeping my own place clean and tidy. My little corner felt like a completely different world from the garbage dump outside my door.…Half a month later, the dorm was so filthy that it was hard to even walk through.Just then, the dorm director posted an urgent notice in the residence hall group chat."Urgent Notice. The Student Affairs will conduct a cleanliness inspection of all dorm rooms in 30 minutes. Any dorm that fails will receive a formal reprimand and will be disqualified from this year's awards and honors!"The message hit like a bomb."A

Eventually, they couldn't bear the hard labor any longer, so they suddenly looked toward me.Lucy dropped her broom and got in my way."Yelena, don't go! It was all a misunderstanding. Diana tricked us." Tears still clung to her face, but she forced on a flattering smile.Stella hurried over and grabbed my arm. "Exactly, Yelena! We've been roommates for two years. We forgive you, so you don't have to move out. Stay and help us! We really don't know how to clean!"When I heard her twisted logic, I was at a complete loss for words and could only let out a breath of amusement.They forgive me?I stared coldly at their two calculating faces and replied, "But have you considered this? I have no intention of forgiving you."I shoved Lucy aside before they could react to the snub and dragged my suitcase out of that disgusting pigsty without looking back. They watched me leave, stunned into silence. I could hear the counselor's increasingly stern orders dogging them as I left."What

"Well, well, someone's putting on quite a tearful show!" Diana drawled, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Weren't you two oh-so proud of yourselves when you drove her away? Why are you begging her to come back after all that? It's too bad she wants nothing to do with you two now. What a pair of morons."Her words hit Lucy and Stella right where it hurt. Their faces flushed red, and all the resentment they'd been bottling up from failing to win me back immediately turned toward Diana."Diana, you bitch!" Lucy was the first to get riled up. She pointed at Diana and screamed, "If you hadn't spread all that nonsense, we wouldn't have lost our eligibility for the academic awards. This is all your fault!""Exactly! This is happening all because of you!" Stella rushed forward. "You promised you'd help us get the outstanding dorm award! Yet, the whole campus now thinks we live in a dump! I'm going to kill you!"Then, the two of them lunged at Diana like a duo of psychos. Diana clearly ha
