Suddenly, Lydia came forward. “Why do we girls have to deal with this, Mr. Duggan? None of us wants
to share a room with her.”
Even Skylar’s heart of steel was increasingly unable to handle the dreaded feeling of being treated like
an outcast.
In the meantime, Mr. Duggan was in a bind.
“Can I have my own room, then?” asked Skylar.
Mr. Duggan gave it a thought. “We don’t have that many rooms. There is, however, an empty slot in the
men’s commercial room. Why don’t you take that?”
Skylar’s face instantly darkened.
Am I not human? Why am I being treated this way?

Then, Harry stepped forward. “I’ll share a room with Skylar, Mr. Duggan.”
Everyone stared at Harry, dumbstruck and believing he was taking one for the team.
Skylar was at a loss for what to do.
Well, in any case, Mr. Duggan will be right next door. Harry can’t do anything unruly to me.
Thus, she agreed. “I’ll share a room with Harry, then. Lynn can have her own room.”
With that, Lynn clutched her chest in relief as though she had just evaded a bullet.
Skylar had accidentally touched her hand a while ago, and the latter couldn’t wait to disinfect herself.
Skylar didn’t have much of a choice. If I don’t share a room with Harry tonight, I won’t have anywhere
else to sleep.
After putting her belongings down, she unlocked the room door and felt relieved upon realizing there
were two separate beds.
During their buffet dinner, Skylar sat alone in a corner. She had only grabbed some shrimp omelet,
spicy chicken, and a serving of vegetables.
Meanwhile, all the other students were busy taking selfies and laughing their hearts away.
They would also steal a few obscure glances at Skylar from time to time.
Skylar felt desolate compared to all the liveliness around her.
Then, Harry came over with his food and sat across Skylar. He tried to strike up a conversation with her
but couldn’t seem to do so for some reason.
Ultimately, it was Skylar who spoke up first. “Thanks for what you did back there. You were kind enough
to spare me a bed. I wouldn’t have come if I knew this would happen. I didn’t think everyone hated me
this much.”
“It’s not that you’ve ever pissed them off or anything. Have you not seen the campus school forums?”
Harry felt so sorry for her that he couldn’t help but bring this up.
Indeed, Skylar knew nothing. She didn’t even know how the other students knew her or the fact that
they had been looking at her pictures.
Pictures of her kissing someone had spread across many chat groups by now.
Skylar shook her head. “What forum? I know nothing about such things. Is there some big news? Well,
I don’t really care anyway.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEver since she learned that Avery was voted as the “goddess who only appears once every three
thousand years,” Skylar no longer wanted anything to do with the forums. She figured that Avery had
bought all those votes for herself.
Avery didn’t look particularly ugly, but she certainly was no national beauty, let alone a once-every-
three-thousand-years kind of beauty.
Not daring to get straight to the point, Harry picked up his plate and left, but not before advising, “You
should take a look anyway. There are lots of stories about you.”
With that, Skylar whipped out her phone and opened the school forums. Lo and behold, the very first
thread was about her.
Freshman student Skylar Jones seduces a married man and works as a sugar baby! Are her morals
that loose, or is the temptation of money too much for her to handle?
Skylar read every single word on the headline.
Before even tapping into the thread, she felt her head spin upon noticing it contained thousands of
comments.
The young woman had never expected to become the talk of the town in such a way.
