The opening ceremony was about to begin, and I was backstage with my best friend, Anna Smith, finalizing our hosting script. Suddenly, shrill screams erupted from the campus grounds.
"That shameless hussy! She's 22, for crying out loud! Trying to seduce my boyfriend into buying her bags and clothes. She's hellbent on being a homewrecker. I'll teach her a lesson she won't forget!"
"Don't worry, Rebecca. You're gorgeous! That old hag doesn't hold a candle to you. She's delusional if she thinks she can be Leonard's mistress!"
The commotion was unusual for a ceremony that hadn't even started yet. I furrowed my brow, trying to suppress my unease.
Anna leaned on my shoulder, smirking. "Whoa, drama on day one? Sounds like someone's caught in a love triangle. This'll be juicy!"
I forced a smile, masking my confusion. Apart from Leonard, I couldn't think of any other freshmen in the Finance department with the name.
