Chapter 2

I quickly typed out a reply on the forum: "The girl in the photo isn't me."

As soon as I hit send, someone replied.

"Wasn't it your bestie, Harper, who leaked the photo? Stop struggling. It's okay to be ugly."

Harper was Hailey's username. She was my so-called bestie.

I had always wondered how she and Dustin ended up together.

But Dustin was a professional manipulator. Could Hailey have been scammed by him?

Thinking of this, I suddenly snapped out of it.

Why was I worrying about her getting scammed?

Tomorrow was my exam. She chose to announce her relationship with Dustin and direct an online mob at me the night before my exams.

Her goal was obvious: she wanted to mess with my head so I would fail my exams. How vicious.

But she underestimated my mental strength.

After some thought, I decided to send Hailey a Snapchat message anyway.

"Stay away from Dustin."

Hailey replied almost instantly:

"Chloe, are you mad at me for taking Dustin? But we are truly in love. Just let us go and wish us the best."

Classic green tea behavior.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

"Then I hope the two of you stay locked together forever."

When I tried to reply again, a red exclamation mark popped up. She had blocked me.

Whatever. You can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep.

I turned off my phone, closed my eyes, and got ready for my exams tomorrow.
