My best friend Emily and I were accepted into the same university.
That summer, she secretly lived with her deadbeat boyfriend for three months, but told everyone she was on a graduation trip with me.
She stole money from her family to buy him a new phone, claiming it was a graduation gift for me.
On the first day of school, she took her tuition money and ran off with her boyfriend, and her family found out.
She told them I had manipulated her!
Eventually, her parents came to campus and found me during class.
They beat me publicly until I had multiple fractures and internal bleeding.
Half-dead, they dragged me to the rooftop and threw me off in front of everyone.
When I opened my eyes, I had returned on the day she ran away with that worthless guy.
I’ve been close with Emily since school, always together.
Every time she went off the grid, her parents called me first.
On the first day of university, her mom Susan messaged me again, demanding answers.
I was putting on my uniform for registration and glanced at my phone, ignoring it.
As I tied my shoes, Susan got impatient and called.
My roommate saw I was busy , kindly answered and held the phone to my ear.
Suddenly, Susan’s shrill, unpleasant voice blasted through,
“Lily! Is my daughter with you? Tell her to call me back immediately!”
“How long does enrollment take? Can’t you remind her to check her phone? Her father and I have been waiting all day!”
“Stop being so selfish, always dragging Emily out to play! She used to be so responsible before she met you!”
“This is your final warning! Get Emily to call me right now, or stay away from her forever!”
Her tone grew harsher with each sentence, escalating to screaming.
She was on the verge of completely losing control.
My roommate chuckled awkwardly, handed me the phone, and walked away.
But I was just as furious as Susan sounded.
In my previous life, if it weren’t for her so-called perfect daughter, I wouldn’t have died a bloody death right after starting university?
Just because I was Emily’s only friend, I became the excuse to cover up her relationship with that loser Mike.
Countless times, I’d be in class when Susan called, demanding to know where her daughter was.
I’d lie to her mother, following Emily’s instructions.
Until one day Susan came to my classroom and caught me in a lie.
She slapped me across the face and flipped my desk in public.
From then on, I became the villain corrupting her daughter in her eyes.
Later, I tried to distance myself from Emily.
But we still ended up at the same university by chance.
And even when I was thrown off a roof to my death, they believed they’d removed a bad influence from their daughter’s life.
This time, I won’t let myself walk that path again!
When I didn’t reply, Susan grew more impatient.
“Can’t you hear me? Emily’s right there with you, isn’t she? Stop pretending, tell her to call me!”
I smirked and spoke to the air,
“Emily, Emily, your mom’s looking for you!”
The air, of course, didn’t answer.
Before Susan exploded, I slowly said, “Sorry, Emily’s at the gym—the music’s too loud, she can’t hear you.”
“She’ll contact you when she’s done!”
After that, I hung up with a dark expression.
I turned and left the dorm for our first physical education class.
After gathering on the field, the teacher started us off tough.
We had to run five laps around the track.
When he finally called stop, everyone collapsed on the ground, completely spent.
I wiped the sweat from my brow when two familiar figures approached from across the field.
Susan’s shrill voice carried over,
“Excuse me! I’m looking for my daughter, Emily—the one with the best grades in the class!”
My heart sank.
I didn’t expect them to come so early, so I quickly got up to head to the restroom.
But as I turned to leave, Susan grabbed my hair and yanked hard.
“You liitle bitch! Why are you sneaking away? Feeling guilty, huh? Tell me! Where’s my Emily!”
“She hasn’t seen me or her father all summer, always off with you! Even bought you expensive gifts? You little slut, is this how you treat a friend?”
“I checked the gym class roster with the teacher—Emily’s name isn’t on it!”
With that, Susan pulled my hair violently, and I fell backward onto the ground.
Her face was twisted with rage, eyes full of hate.
I’d just finished running, my legs were weak, and before I could get up,
Emily’s father John stomped on my chest.
I could barely breathe.
Susan laughed coldly and grabbed my hair again.
Forcing my head back, she snarled,
“Last chance! Where’s my Emily!”
I gasped in pain but couldn’t help smirking.
“Your daughter doesn’t even tell you, and now you come asking me? Is she really your daughter?”
“She’s off marrying that lowlife! If you don’t hurry, she’ll be giving you a grandchild too!”
Suddenly, the grip on my hair loosened.
I was slapped hard across the face.
I tried to stand, but my legs were like jelly.
Rage burned in my eyes, my face red.
The commotion drew attention from other students, and even the teacher came over to investigate.
Susan ignored him completely.
She scanned the crowd and slapped my cheek repeatedly.
“You think I can’t do anything if you don’t talk?”
“You little bitch!”
“You think the school will protect you just because you enrolled? If you don’t hand over my daughter today, I’ll send you back to Seattle myself!”
The teacher finally sensed the seriousness and tried to warn them on behalf of the school.
John’s face darkened, and he roared,
“I’m looking for my daughter—what’s it to you? Emily was taken by this Lily, so I’m dealing with her! You’re probably no better!”
“I should be blaming the school—my daughter disappears right after arriving, and you threaten me? I’ll expose you online!”
As the teacher backed away, John smirked.
He snorted,
“Today, the school either hands over my daughter or expels Lily. Otherwise… we’ll see!”
His fleshy face shook with anger, looking even more terrifying.
He pressed down on my chest, and I almost vomited.
The teacher gave up on protecting me and secretly texted the principal.
I gritted my teeth and wheezed,
“I’m calling the police!”
“You’re accusing me without evidence! I can sue you for damages!”
Hearing that, Susan slapped me again.
Her eyes burned with fury.
“You dare call the police after taking my daughter? They’ll arrest you!”
“My Emily’s so well-behaved, she’d never dare speak out of turn—you’ve corrupted her! Her last message said she was with you for registration!”
“Her name’s not on the gym class roster—you owe me an explanation!”
She glanced at John, and he lifted his foot from my chest.
I gasped for air.
Before I could call for help, John dragged me by my hair across the ground.
My wrists and ankles scraped against the track, leaving bloody marks.
At first, a few students tried to intervene on my behalf.
But gradually, the crowd shifted to support Emily’s parents.
Angry shouts surrounded me, as if I had truly kidnapped their daughter.
Even my roommate who had answered the phone earlier spoke up,
“I understand you’re worried about your missing daughter, but Lily was alone during registration. Perhaps something happened before she arrived at campus…”
She didn’t complete her thought, but the implication was clear—I might have harmed Emily before school began.
The teacher dismissed the class, sending everyone back to their dorms.
The crowded field emptied rapidly.
Susan’s expression darkened further.
“Impossible! My Emily said she was coming, so she must be here! I’ll search this entire campus if I have to!”
They dragged me toward the girls’ dorm.
After a quick discussion, Susan remained on the first floor with me.
John proceeded to search room by room for Emily.
He moved like a wild dog, eyes bloodshot.
He kicked open dorm doors, triggering screams of alarm.
“Pervert! Get out!”
John remained fazed, shouting back,
“I’m looking for my daughter! What kind of students undress in broad daylight? Sluts!”
“I wouldn’t look even if you paid me! If I don’t find her, you’re all Lily’s accomplices!”
He continued kicking doors open with increasing aggression.
After searching an entire floor without results, Susan grew more frantic.
The girls from searched rooms fled their rooms, hastily dressed.
At the dorm entrance, they witnessed Susan gripping my neck.
The story from the athletic field spread quickly.
Soon, someone shouted accusations at me,
“If you hadn’t taken their daughter, would her dad be acting like this? What kind of person does that? Why hasn’t anyone called the police yet?”
“She looks so normal—how could she do something like this?”
“Being her friend is a curse, and living in the same dorm is even worse! Who knows where that poor girl is now.”
More female students gathered downstairs.
Half an hour later, John returned with a grim expression.
He shook his head at Susan.
She trembled with rage, then delivered a powerful kick.
I flew forward, landing on my knees at the dorm entrance.
Susan screamed, losing control,
“Lily, you’re playing games with me!”
“We’re taking you to the dean’s office! Either produce my daughter or get expelled!”
I checked my watch discreetly.
Emily was probably obtaining her marriage license by now.
I said softly, “Oh? The dean’s office? Why not call the police? Expel me, then send me to prison.”
Susan immediately dialed.
“911!”
“Bitch, you think I won’t?”
Out of their sight, I smiled.
This time, I’ll destroy Emily’s life completely!
