When Diana entered the dormitory, her roommates welcomed her warmly.
“Diana, you’re back!” One of them stood up at once and smiled at Diana.
“I can take your bag for you.” Another girl walked over to help.
Diana was surprised by the change in her roommates’ attitude. Nonetheless, she genuinely thought the misunderstandings between them were gone. So, she smiled and said, “I told you guys you got me wrong.”
Her roommates looked at each other and smiled. “Yes. It was just a misunderstanding. You must forget what we said.”
Diana felt lifted by their enthusiasm.
At that moment, one of them asked carefully, “Diana, what is your relationship with Mr. William? He brought you to school himself…”
Hearing them mention Brian, Diana froze. After a while, she squeezed out a smile and replied, “Nothing special. My brother treated his servants. So, I slept in his house. It’s not a big deal.”
Her roommates quickly changed their look.
So, that was the reason; Mr. William was just kind. And the clothes Diana wore were nice but not unbelievable. She must have stolen them from one of Brian’s maids.
Realizing there was no reason to suck up to Diana, her roommates instantly returned to despising her. They changed the topic and went to do their own things.
Diana was quite confused. She didn’t know what made them behave like that. But her next class was starting soon; she had to change her clothes quickly.
As she got ready, Diana tried to start some conversation with her roommates. “Let’s go to class. I have missed several lessons. Could you lend me your notes?”
Her roommates looked at each other and said, “We didn’t take notes either. You’ll have to ask someone else.”
Diana thought that was very strange. “How come? Wendy, I remember you always recite your notes at night.”
“That was something else.”
Diana noticed their unfriendly attitude. Like last time, she still didn’t know the reason and felt rather troubled.
At that time, Antonette came back.
She rushed back after hearing Brian took Diana to school. She didn’t expect Brian would treat Diana so nicely. So, she decided to cozy up to Diana again.
Sensing their roommates were not happy with Diana. Antonette smiled and said, “Diana, I am about to go to class. Do you want to join me?”
Diana was so grateful. “Antonette, you are so nice.”
“Of course, we are best friends.” Antonette pretended to be nice and warm.
After Diana and Antonette walked out arm in arm, their roommates looked at each other. One of them walked over to investigate Diana’s closet.
“Let me see… I thought she would wear a more luxurious brand than this. This is last year’s design.” The girls laughed at Diana’s Channel shirt, forgetting that they themselves couldn’t even afford that brand.
As the other roommates gathered to look, one of them said, “I think she stole this shirt from someone. Otherwise, why would she keep it so carefully? Do you want to teach her a lesson?”
“Yeah!”
The girls gathered around and cut holes in Diana’s shirt and dress with scissors.
“This will teach her to steal from the gorgeous Mr. William!”
When Diana and Antonette walked into the classroom, many students looked at them strangely, especially when they observed that Diana had changed clothes.
“Did Diana become a rich man’s mistress?”
“No way, look at what she’s wearing.”
“She might just be pretending…”
Diana and Antonette heard their discussions.
Antonette wanted to know more, so she looked at Diana and whispered, “Diana, what happened between you and Mr. William?”
Diana squeezed out a smile and waved her hand. “Do not mention him. I get nervous, just hearing his name.”
“But last night you…”
Diana made a face at Antonette, clearly meant to stop her questioning.
Luckily, their conversation was interrupted by the arrival of their professor, who came in accompanied by Kyle.
“It’s Kyle! He is so handsome!”
Kyle attracted all the girl’s attention once he entered the classroom, dressed in a smart, white shirt, and black trousers.
Diana, however, was not so happy to see Kyle, as his presence normally meant there would be a test!
Unfortunately, she guessed right. When the professor announced there would be a test, most of the students moaned and groaned.
That said, there were some girls that were happy about it, for this was a chance for them to get close to Kyle. They wrote notes on their thighs, arms, under their skirts… all with the clear goal to be caught by Kyle for cheating.
Diana was speechless. She studied hard for this major, she didn’t choose it because there were handsome seniors, unlike some other girls. That was partly why the professor liked Diana. Though annoyed at the other girls’ behavior, Diana kept her head down and prepared for the test.
