When Trevor was sent packing from the university, looking like a whipped dog, I was having breakfast with Julian, our arms linked.

Our relationship had progressed by leaps and bounds these past few days. Even my dad
couldn’t stand our sickeningly sweet affection.
He kept complaining it was ‘too sweet, made his teeth ache.’
He’d literally gone out for a walk to escape it.
“Daisy, how dare you make me drop out?! Do you have any idea how hard I worked to get into that university?!”
The familiar voice reached us. I simply poked my ear and looked at Julian:
“Did you hear that? A dog’s barking.”
Julian nodded:
“Sounds like a stray dog got loose.”
Our blatant disregard only fueled Trevor’s rage. He spun around, glaring at me:
“Don’t you think you owe me an explanation for this?”
I didn’t even look up:
“Are we close?”
Trevor froze for a split second.
Just when I thought he was about to lose it completely, he suddenly forced a smile:
“Daisy, stop being so childish, okay? I admit I got a little too close to Chloe lately, and you’re upset. I’ll keep my distance from now on, just forgive me. Besides, you always loved me the most! How could you be with a low-life scumbag like Julian, just to spite me? I’m the only one truly right for you!”
I laughed:
“To spite *you*? What pathetic excuse for a human are you that I’d even waste a single thought, let alone a whole relationship, just to spite you? Julian and I are together because
we *want to be. We’re a match made in heaven, understood?”
Trevor couldn’t keep up his respectable facade anymore. He sharply raised his voice:
“Daisy! You’ve been following me around like a puppy since we were kids, begging to marry me! No matter how much I humiliated you, you never dared to leave! How could you possibly like someone else?! Don’t you dare try to trick me!”
Then he gritted his teeth, looking at Julian:
“Besides, don’t you know how bad his reputation is? He was messing around with girls and getting caught in motels back in high school!”
“Shut up!”
I shot to my feet.
“I know exactly what kind of person he is, and you know perfectly well whether that story was a slander or the truth! I suggest you control your rotten mouth, or everything my family *gave* you, I can *take* away!”
Fearing he’d continue to use my family’s name to scam people and flaunt his false connections, I opened my Ins feed:
**[PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL MY FOLLOWERS]** Please be aware that Trevor and the Davis family have officially severed all ties. Do not believe his ridiculous claims about marrying me in the future; they are completely baseless and utter nonsense.
Trevor’s face went pale as he fumbled for his phone.
He wanted to type out a few lines, to try and save face.
But his followers’ comments were far faster:
You finally figured it out! I always said Trevor was no good!
He pretended not to like you, but he sure didn’t hesitate to use all the resources you provided! That hypocritical leech doesn’t deserve you!

I’ve been annoyed by him forever. Always acting so high and mighty, when he’s just a damn moocher! You go, girl! Live your best single life!!
Trevor, with his daily act of self-righteousness and looking down on everyone else, had long rubbed people the wrong way.
Before, they only tolerated him out of deference to me, but now that we were done…
…his standing had naturally plummeted.
Under his seething glare, I replied to each comment, one by one:
**[MY POST REPLY]** Don’t worry, everyone. I was young and naive, easily deceived by a
beast like him. From now on, I’ll keep my eyes wide open and stay far away from anyone
like that.
**[MY POST REPLY]** And I’d advise everyone else to avoid dealing with ungrateful
snakes like him. Otherwise, you’ll get bitten in the back and won’t know what hit you.
My posts stirred up a storm online.
Our SnapChat class group chat was already buzzing with discussions about what happened today.
Someone even directly posted intimate photos of Chloe and Trevor.
In the pictures, they were pressed close, faces almost touching.
Looking every bit like a couple deeply in love.
I knew something was off about them back then! Who gets that close while ‘studying’? They were totally dating, weren’t they?
I actually caught them making out in the woods a few times… Can I say that?
The group chat absolutely exploded.
Everyone started gossiping wildly about the three of us, one comment after another.

With the atmosphere like this, it wouldn’t be right for me not to say anything.
Just as everyone seemed to tire of talking, and the discussion in the group chat began to quiet down…
…I tagged Chloe:
Care to say a few words?
