---- Chapter 2 Once Lisa ended her livestream, she marched up to us haughtily and asked, "So, how about it? If you don't want to be the target of cyberbullying, you better pay up as soon as possible!" With her arms crossed and nose in the air, she had the air of someone expecting us to throw money at her. However, Rose crossed her arms and retorted, "Are you in dire need of money or something, huh? If you'd waited for even a day before going to the doctor, your supposed injury would've healed up already. The nerve of you to expect a thousand dollars from each of us!" Lisa pointed at the nearly indiscernible red mark on her thigh before wagging her finger at me and shrieking, "I only suspected Celia of being responsible for this! It's fine if you guys don't want to pay up. Just get Celia to admit to her wrongdoing! She can be responsible for the entire compensation!" Ivy shook her head and said gently but firmly, "Celia ---- and I left together this morning. I trust that she wasn't responsible for it. You were the one who was too careless." Once Lisa saw that all her attempts at either threatening us or convincing us had failed, she became enraged. Slamming her hand against the desk, she declared, ''Do you know who my father is? I'm warning you! If you refuse to settle this matter amicably and give me the money I ask for, I'll see to it that none of you graduate from college!" Shrugging, I responded indifferently, 'Whoever your father is, you still can't scare me. I'm not paying. If you want the money, you'll have to rob me for it." Lisa's face turned scarlet as she screeched, "Just you wait. I'm going to report you to Ms. Lewis, the head of the student conduct committee, right this minute!" And with that, she rushed out of the room, slamming the door behind her. Once she left, Ivy tugged on my sleeve and said worriedly, "Celia, do you think she really has some ---- connection that can stop us from graduating? Ms. Lewis is famous for being extremely harsh. I'm a bit worried..." Rolling her eyes with a sigh, Rose remarked, "Just our luck that we ended up with such a ridiculous roommate!" True enough, in less than half an hour, we got a call. from Ms. Lewis demanding our presence at her office. When we got to Ms. Lewis' office, Lisa was already seated there. She was sobbing her eyes out while Ms. Lewis gently applied ointment to her injury. Upon seeing us, Ms. Lewis questioned us sternly, " What's going on? Lisa said you three injured her but refused to pay for her medical bills." I took a deep breath and decided to expose the truth. I explained the whole thing from the start, not forgetting to highlight Lisa's exaggerated claims and ridiculous demands. Rose and Ivy also chimed in with additional details to help me prove my innocence.
