I was shocked when I saw her back phone camera pointing at me.
Just as I was about to walk away, Penny walked over to refill her water.
“Jane, why are you taking pictures of Rue?”
Penny’s voice caught everyone’s attention, and Jane immediately ended the video call. “I accidentally switched the cameras. Why are you being so loud? You scared me.”
She even tried to make Penny look like the bad guy. “Why are you looking at me and my phone? I’m going to take my call outside!”
After that, she ran out of the dorm room.
I exchanged glances with Penny and ignored Jane.
Jane did not return that night. From that day onward, I saw her hanging out with Daniel and that young woman
from the Photography Club,
Every time I bumped into them, that young woman would stare at me for a few seconds before Jane dragged her

away.
On the day of the cultural event, that young woman was there too.
She had her back against me as she held her camera.
I only stared at her for a few seconds, but she sensed my gaze and immediately turned around.
Seeing that it was me, she sighed in relief.
She reminded me of my past self. After Jane traumatized me, I became extremely sensitive when someone’s eyes
were on me.
I passed her a few candies that I had gotten from the event. looked at her name tag and asked, “Melody Rivers, right? Is there something you wanted to tell me?”
Melody was stunned for a few seconds. She opened her mouth but ended up closing it again.
“Melody, I’ve been looking at you for a long time. Why are you here?”
At the same time, Jane walked over and dragged Melody away.
A few days later, something huge happened in college.
Someone was trying to jump off a building.
I found the location of the incident, and as expected, it was Melody.
Everyone was crowding at the bottom of the building. The counselors and management were trying to dissuade
her.
Melody was crying, but she did not say a word.
The counselors and management tried to stop me from talking to her.
However, I got closer and asked her in a low voice, “Melody, you were asking for help, weren’t you?”
We discovered that Melody had a lot of harassing messages on her phone. The language was horrible. She even received social media requests that asked her for intimate behavior.
