It showed how much Owen's words hurt the girl's feelings.
Her impatience revealed to me who was behind the rumors.
My high school nemesis, Mila Simons.

Jealous of my good grades and popularity with boys, Mila opposed me constantly throughout high school.
She would either steal my homework and tear my textbooks behind my back, or distort the truth in front of the teachers.
When she saw that the teachers ignored her, she formed a small group to isolate me in class.
I came to school to study, not to form cliques and gangs.
Isolate me if you want, I didn't care to play with such ill-mannered people anyway.
To avoid trouble, I often went to my dad's dorm instead of staying in my own.
I thought we'd go our separate ways after high school and good days were ahead.
But to my surprise, she also ended up at the same university as me.
Although we weren't in the same major or class, her actions were still annoying enough.
Because of her, I was now being pointed at and gossiped about wherever I went.
"Look, that's the freshman who seduced the instructor!
"She really went all out to get the instructor's special attention."
