Chapter 3 One garment , then another … I continued until the room was in complete disarray , only then did they finally notice what I was doing " What the fuck ! Are you insane ? What do you think you're doing ? " one screamed , jumping up from her chair . Another rushed toward her damaged belongings , her face contorting with rage . " What gives you the right to touch my stuff ?! This skirt took an entre month of saving to buy ! You're going to pay for this !!! " " Holy shit , that was from my idol's brand collection ! " the third shrieked , lunging forward . " I paid a fortune for that !! You absolute bitch As they all clawed their way toward me , I spun around and darted out of the dorm , quickly locking the door from the outside before they could reach me . With my dorm now off - limits , I headed straight to a hotel near campus . Predictably , within hours , I received a call from our academic advisor summoning me to her office . When I arrived , I immediately spotted my three roommates huddled together in the corner , their faces transforming into masks of accusation e moment they saw me enter . The advisor tapped her fingers lightly on the desk while taking a slow sip of coffee . Her narrowed eyes scrutinized me from behind thin glasses , judgment evident in her gaze . " Kyra , correct ? I know who you are , " she began with an air of superiority . " The computer science student who's always dressed up - hard to forget , really . " She placed her cup down deliberately before continuing , " You should understand that students come to university to learn , not to compete with each other , and certainly not to indulge in vanity . " Gesturing toward my roommates , she continued , " Regarding the damage to your roommates ' personal property , they've each recorded their losses in detail . If you refuse to compensate them , I have no choice but to issue a major demerit on your permanent record . " Her voice hardened as she added , " This will affect your graduate school recommendations and all special considerations . " " As for the scandal that's been circulating recently , I've heard about it . While we shouldn't jump to conclusions , I must remind you that you can't take advantage of someone's affection to do whatever you please . " She leaned forward , her tone becoming increasingly condescending . " Beauty isn't capital - kindness and consideration for others are the virtues a young woman should possess . That boy treated you so well , yet you behave like this ? Truly disappointing . " " No wonder more people criticize today's young women . People like you deserve the criticism . " Her words penetrated the empty office , each syllable drilling into my ears . I pressed my lips together before responding , " So you believe whatever they say without question ? " Meeting her gaze directly , I continued , " As a teacher , shouldn't you at least uphold fairness ? If this is just their one - sided story , then go ahead and punish me however you see fit . Why even bother calling me here ? " The advisor couldn't tolerate my defiance . Her cup landed heavily on the desk with a dull thud . " You think you're so wealthy ? " she snapped . " Then I'm giving you a deadline to compensate for the damages AND return the money Rylan entrust you . Otherwise , I'll contact your parents to settle this matter . " " We have your parents ' contact information on file . If you won't behave responsibly , we'll have to involve those who will . " Despite her seated position , years of authority had perfected her condescending glare . But I maintained my composure , responding flatly , " Go ahead and call them if you want . " The advisor stared me down , her voice eerily calm . " Let me emphasize again - this demerit will definitely affect your graduate school candidacy . Our university doesn't accept students with questionable character into our graduate programs .

They were the ones who refused to investigate , who jumped to conclusions . Since this situation began , no one cared about the truth - everyone simply believed rumors without question . I never expected teachers would behave this sway too . Lowering my eyes , I replied quietly , " Fine . Let it affect my chances , then . " And I walked toward the door . If all my hard work could be erased so easily , then perhaps I didn't want that spot anyway !
