Never Trust Your Best FriendChapter 1.
My boyfriend, John Yeo, and my best friend, Cici James, betrayed me together, and there were rumors that I was being kept on the Internet.
***
Since the last time Stephen Shepard drove me to school, someone took a photo of me getting out of his car and posted it on the school forum.
In that photo, I was smiling at my brother, who handed me the Chanel bag my dad bought for me.
The forum erupted into chaos, with everyone fervently discussing my alleged promiscuity.
My roommate told me about this, and I looked at those crazy speculations.
[How can someone like this get into a top university?]
[Which department is she from? She's so good at playing.]
[She's got a good catch, at least he's not an old man.]
[She's a pretty girl; why is she so materialistic.]
Among the comments, someone suddenly exposed my identity.
[Isn't this Sonia Shepard, the school beauty of our university? She has a boyfriend at school, but I didn't expect her to do such dirty things.]
This comment was immediately pushed to the top when it came out.
It immediately received over 999 likes.
I looked at my roommate's probing eyes and said firmly, "Rumors, all rumors. That's my brother, my own brother."
"Who's the damn gossip-monger spreading such lies? When I find him/her, I'll make him/her pay dearly!"
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I couldn't swallow this insult. I wanted to discuss a solution with Cici James.
Cici was my best friend and my closest friend. We went to the same high school and now the same university.
We even made a pact to work at the same company.
She knew that I had an elder brother, so I asked her to help me post a clarification on the forum. After all, she was also a famous person in our school, the goddess of the IT department.
Thinking about the solution, I started to walk faster.
When I went to her dormitory to look for her, it was obvious that they were discussing my matter because as soon as I entered, they suddenly fell silent.
"Cici, have you seen the post? It's my brother, but people on the forum say that a man is keeping me. You have to help me clarify this," I said.
Cici was playing with her phone and looked up at me when she heard my words. "Sonia, the truth will prevail; don't waste your time on their petty disputes."
