The caption hit me hard!

Slut?? Who???? Me????

Who'd ever post something like that without any proof? I mean, am I even known to them that they can post MY image without MY consent?

That's copyright infringement. I can't.

"Care to explain what is going on here?" Jen thundered looking furiously as ever.

"Please don't look at that otherwise. It's not what you think!" I pleaded and tried to make them clear that it was just an angle error.

"Not what WE think?? C'mon Aria Campbell. This is Klein FYI.. What would he be doing with someone as low as you? He for sure wouldn't have come up to you himself." Nora blared out.

"Woah.. Hey damn it, Nora! Watch what you're saying." Jen defended me when Nora attacked me right then.

I do not understand why I was being suddenly victimized for a thing which was totally mistaken as something else. So now, I'm the bad person in everyone's book at Quinns. Was it a sin to be seen with Klein though?

"Oh, so you'd support Aria even when she's goofing around with guys on the very first day itself eh? What is that a BFF thing?" Nora hissed at Jen.

Seeing how Nora reacted when she saw the picture of us, gave me a clear cut confirmation that she's someone who I thought was a completely different person.
Judging by her looks, I imagined her company to be fun and sweet times.

Screw that.. She's a snake.

"I'm pretty darn sure Aria had her reasons. Now would ya shut it and let her speak what she has to before you make anymore assumptions? Besides, I've known her my whole life. Don't just instantly become an expert of her life." Jen just snapped at Nora who was acting up so much. "A, you may." And she glanced at me to speak about the image that was already gaining hundreds of hate comments.

By that time, Nora was quiet as a stone.

Yeah, that's my bestie who understands me even when no one else does. Y'all should be jealous of the kind of girlfriend I have..

"When I was in the library, because I couldn't reach a book that I wanted, Klein helped me with it. I neither called him nor did I know him prior to that."

I was gonna continue, but Nora spoke up before I could.

"That still doesn't explain the 'almost-kiss' picture that was posted."

"Nora, if at all you wanna hear what's behind that picture, stop interrupting the conversation, else, get lost!" Jen got ticked off at Nora of how she kept intruding mid my explanation.

I looked at Nora in displeasure and continued. "So, since he stood behind me and I was faced backwards, I turned around to take the book he handed me. That's all that happened. And the picture was taken in such a position that made it look like something else that was totally not. We have nothing between us." I confirmed to both of them.

I could see students looking our way and pointing at me. How they recognized me as the 'bitch', the 'whore', the 'slut', and what nots. The tags they put on me. The hates I was getting.

"What a bitch.... Ain't she just a freshman?"

"The fuck. Who the heck is she......? Who does she think she is??"

"She's a certified Whore."

"I need holy water. She's a devil to snatch our Klein."

"My middle finger salutes her. Day 1 and she's already tagged. CONGRATULATIONS. You're officially a Slut, whoever the girl is in the picture."

"Snake alert!'

"This means war! All Klein nations, get ready for a bloody battle."

"Oh.. She picked the wrong guy. I wonder how her next 3 years' stay will turn out. #Bitch!"

"What a prostitute. Does she know that its our KLEIN she's with?"

"Attention seaker! Screw you."

"Klein is Quinn's and not yours to steal. Keep away!"

"#prostitute. Go back where you came from.."

I rummaged through the comments sections when I saw the stares I was getting.
I hated this! I came to college with a lot of expectations and elated state of mind and now, I'm being targeted, east, west, north and south ways all at once.

Jen snatched my phone when she saw me going through the comments. I know it was her way of making sure that I don't get affected by those.

"Don't let those mere comments get to you. You've hit more rock bottom than this." Jen patted me at my back and reassured me.

"I'm out of here.. I still am not convinced! Both of you are alone in this. For all I know, I'm on the winning side and that's definitely not your team." Nora revealed.

Jen and I were both dumbstruck. She was all so sweety, cutesy but now, her true colors are being exposed.

I obviously was rat-arsed. "I didn't ask you to side with me. Whatever you choose, I don't give a damn!" With that, Jen and I walked out before Nora could walk away.

I was really upset at everything. The image kept popping up in my mind with all the comments I read. It sucked to be under the spotlight just the first day.
That wasn't even my intention. Plus, who was Klein to this college anyway? Why am I the only one being attacked? What did I do that was so wrong?

Thousands of questions were running though my mind.

Jen pulled me on my left in a direction I know not, as though she's already very familiar with the college. But I trusted her anyways. She's the only one who stood with me when everyone else didn't.

We went down the hallway, knowing so sure that the next class was a total miss..
"We're skipping the next class. We've got more important things to do" Jen told me to which I agreed.

As we were going ahead, I was stopped on my right wrist, by a firm hand. I was taken by utmost surprise when I turned to look at who it was..

"We've got to talk." His deep husky voice rang in my ears like bells.

How did he find me?? What does he want??
