"I'm a human being of flesh and blood. I can't get up and study hard in the middle of the night like her. She has been winning the first-class scholarship for two consecutive years. I, who have always been in the second place, don't have a chance to win the first prize."
I was speechless. It was true that evildoers would complain first.
I didn't want to argue with her in the middle of the night, so I turned off the lamp. Then I climbed onto the bed, put on my earphones, and covered my head with a quilt.
The footsteps and voices in the corridor were getting closer and closer, pulling me back to reality. It was Monica and the two roommates.
"Monica, the steak is so delicious. Thank you for your hospitality today." It was my roommate, Kate.
“I don't understand Daisy. She usually studies so hard, but she is absent from such an important math exam. This year's scholarship is no longer available for her. Monica, you, who have been ranked second, are finally going to win first place. Congratulations in advance."
"Not at all. You flatter me," Monica responded sweetly. She couldn't hold back her laughter.
It turned out that Monica had invited my roommates to celebrate her victory in advance.
When the door opened, the three of them were stunned to see me. Suddenly, they all felt awkward.
Kate broke the silence first and asked, "Well... Daisy, where did you go today? Why didn't you come to take the exam?"
Before I could reply, Monica's WhatsApp notification rang.
Glancing at it, she couldn't help but smile. She pressed the play button, and Spencer's voice rang out.
"Monica, are you with Daisy? She seems to be angry. Tell her that we will have lunch together at noon tomorrow and talk things out."
Monica looked at me with a faint smile, saying, "Did you hear that? My boyfriend invited you to lunch at noon tomorrow."
Her words hurt me. The sharp pain made me tremble all over.
"I'm not going." I bit my lower lip and firmly refused.
She raised her head arrogantly and squinted at me, saying, "If you don't go, how can we make things clear?"
"Last night, you stayed in my boyfriend's house. You two were together for one night. Don't you need to explain it to me?"
"Do you like Spencer? Otherwise, why did you keep silent when he asked you for my contact information?"
"Say it!"
Her words were shocking. Everyone at the dormitory was silent.
