[Siena is a bitch. She snatches men from other girls. Girls, who have partners, should stay away from her.]
At that time, I defended myself in the group chat, [I am innocent. I am upright and behaving properly. It is shameful for you to spread rumors about me like this!]
Some classmates spoke up for me.
[Estelle, you can't spread rumors about Siena just because your boyfriend thinks she's pretty. You are also a girl. How can you say such things?]
Libby added, [Estelle and I are the closest roommates to Siena. Can you guess why we know so many things about her?]
During that time, many classmates of mine kept their distance from me.
No one even wanted to team up with me for group assignments.
They thought there was something wrong with my character. They were afraid that others would misunderstand their character as well if they were close to me.
The evidence was solid.

I said to the counselor, "Miss Hawk, I can't stand such a life of being slandered anymore. I don't have any friends at school. It is all thanks to them."
The counselor glanced through the evidence on my cell phone quickly and asked me, "So, you decided to resort to violence against them, right?"
