“How can you say that? If you hadn’t tricked
me, I wouldn’t have broken up with Liv! I liked
く
her all along! You’re her roommate! How
could you do this?!”
Stacy started crying. She grabbed his arm.
“Chad, honey, I know you’re mad. But we’re
together, aren’t we? Even if the pics are of
Liv, you still hate her! Let’s forget about her
and be happy!”
Chad threw her off, “Get lost! You did this to
yourself. You will get what’s coming to you!”
I used the chance while they were arguing
and called a taxi.
Chad noticed me leaving and tried to chase
me, but could only stare as I pulled away.

Back at the dorm, my resident advisor
contacted me.
She said, “I sent the evidence you gave me to
the school. This is a serious issue. They’ll
make sure you get justice.”
I thanked her.
Then I wrote an email and sent the evidence
to the athletics department at Chad’s school.
Then I finally had time to worry about the
game.
I logged on to see a friend request from
Chad.
I rolled my eyes and blocked him, and noticed
that my request to join that team had been
く
accepted.
I glanced at the name. “Feed Until Full.”
Me: ”
”
I went back to my text messages to find the
team’s group chat.
Just then, the chat where they had been
bullying me started blowing up with
notifications.
Chad: “[Liv, I’m sorry. Stop being stubborn!
Unblock me! Let’s start over.]”
The other guys were like, “[Huh? What’s
going on? Did Chad get hacked?]”
“[Dude, you sure you didn’t ask the wrong
<
person? Isn’t Liv that 200–pound lard
bucket?]”
“[Guys, I was at the competition. Turns out,
Liv is the real Valkyrie. Let me tell you what
happened.]”
Gossip always spreads fast.
In just a few hours, the story about how Stacy
stole my photos, and how she had been trying
to steal my boyfriend, spread all over the
internet.
The Beauty Queen contest had gotten a lot of
buzz. Now, with this mess, it blew up even
more.
A bunch of people piled into the chatroom.

“[Came to see the drama. Let me just say,
this is too much!]”
“[That Valkyrie is the worst! She’s a terrible.
person. She must have no brain. How did
Chad stand her?]”
“[No, they’re soulmates! Lock them up and
throw away the key!]”
“[LOL, if I were Chad, after finding out the
truth, I’d be regretting how I treated her while
treating that lard bucket so nice. He must feel
so stupid!]”
“[Yeah, if he hadn’t been so cruel, he’d have
had a chance to get back with her. Now,
she’s never going to forgive him!]”

The chatroom was blowing up.
Finally, the game company stepped in.
They banned Stacy from the forums, and they
also closed her gaming accounts.
