I could only shook my head that became heavier before I staggered to the balcony. However, I was shocked to see that I got tripped by Anna who outstretched her foot. Immediately, I fell to the floor.
Again, Fiona wanted to help me. But she was then pulled by then again. After that, I could hear that Emily said to her in a threatening manner, “You don’t need to care for her. She’s definitely pretending. After all, there is no man here. So, she has no idea to whom she has to play victim for.”
“But-”
Clearly, Fiona wanted to say something else. But she was then pulled by both Emily and Anna who kept continuing to eat mangoes. While Fiona was usually decent to me, she was meek. So, I knew that I couldn’t count on her at all.
The only thing I could do was to bite my lips as hard as I could to force myself to stay awake. In fact, I was barely hodling on my bed as I stood up while I continued to stumble to the balcony. Eventually, I picked up the medicine bottle. But I no longer had any strength. So, I could only beg them to get me some water.
When Emily heard that, the girl let out a smirk as she made another sarcastic remark, “Gosh! You’re quite good at acting? What kind of sad drama are you planning to show us here, huh?”
“Please help me. I really don’t have any strength left. I feel so uncomfortable here. Please help me get some water.”
Fiona looked at me anxiously. When the girl saw that I was about to faint at any time, she hurried to get glass from her desk.
But Anna stopped her and pointed at my glass as she said, “Fiona, use her glass. Don’t let her use your glass. Aren’t you afraid of getting infected by her allergy?”
For a while, Fiona hesitated. But she eventually turned around to get my glass on my desk. Immediately, I took my glass with trembling hands as I waited for the person I had been waiting. All of a sudden, the door to the our dorm rang.
“Is Miss Valerie Mitchell in the dorm?”
Anna answered, “Isn’t that our resident advisor. What she’s doing here?”
Fiona meekly responded, “She’s now looking for Valerie, but Valerie is like this now.”
No one in the room answered me, but the resident advisor (RA) still knocked the door. Emily just rolled her eyes as she told Fiona brashly, “Just open the door a little ad tell her that Valerie isn’t in the dorm!”
Fiona just looked at me awkwardly as she whispered, “I-I can’t lie.”
