00:00I didn't. You're spreading lies if you don't have proof.
00:03Ha. Proof. The dining house has security cameras everywhere.
00:08Want to go pull the footage together?
00:10In my past life, I was stupid.
00:12When I found out, she cried and apologized, and I let it go.
00:16I even thought her family was poor and her boyfriend was on financial aid,
00:20so their relationship must be hard.
00:22But she turned around and told everyone I was cheap and petty over a few meals.
00:26Worse. She tampered with my shampoo.
00:28I have severe rhinitis and couldn't smell the heather flower at all.
00:31Every day after washing my hair, I go to class and hear whispers behind my back.
00:35Can you smell that? Sloney reeks.
00:38I heard she goes all the time and sleeps around.
00:40Ugh, she acts all innocent, but she's a total slut. Disgusting.
00:45Gradually, everyone isolated me.
00:47No one would talk to me, and no one would tell me why.
00:50Heather bit her lip, her eyes watering.
00:53I'm sorry, I really have no money.
00:56Jasper is on financial aid, too.
00:58We're working class.
00:58We can't compare to a rich city girl like you.
01:01But you shouldn't humiliate us like this.
01:03Shut up.
01:04Don't try to guilt trip me.
01:06I cut her off coldly.
01:07You have until the end of the semester to pay me back.
01:10Otherwise, I'll go to the RD.
01:12And don't touch my things ever again.
01:15Mara Reed spoke up suddenly.
01:16Sloney, how could you?
01:19Heather already apologized.
01:20I never realized how aggressive you are.
01:22Elise Wong chimed in.
01:23Yeah, we're all roommates.
01:25Is this really necessary?
01:26I scoffed.
01:28Three and twenty isn't a lot of money to you?
01:30Then you pay me.
01:31Otherwise, stop acting like you're the good guys here.
01:33They had nothing to say.
01:37Wiped her tears and ran out of the dorm.
01:39Mara glared at me and ran after her.
01:41Elise shook her head and left, saying over her shoulder.
01:44You've changed.
01:45Used to be so easygoing.
01:47After that day, the atmosphere turned icy whenever I was in the dorm.
01:51Heather deliberately avoided me.
01:53Mara and Elise also ignored me.
01:55I didn't care.
01:57In my past life, all three of them were in on it.
02:00After I jumped, they made snide comments online.
02:03Sloane had terrible mental health.
02:05It was just a few comments.
02:07Did she really have to kill herself?
02:09Like we had anything to do with it.
02:11Huh.
02:11That night, after I showered, I checked my shampoo bottle out of habit.
02:15It had been moved.
02:16I unscrewed it and smelled it, but still couldn't detect anything.
02:20I took a photo with my phone, noting the bottle's position and the liquid level.
02:25Heather thought my severe rhinitis meant I wouldn't notice, but having lived this before,
02:28I knew all her tricks.
02:30Sure enough, Heather kept glancing at me sneakily the next morning.
02:33There was anticipation and excitement in her eyes.
02:36I pretended nothing was wrong, washed my hair as usual, and left for class.
02:40On my way to the dining hall at noon, I could feel everyone staring.
02:44Some people covered their noses and laughed.
02:47Others pointed and whispered.
02:48Someone said loudly on purpose.
02:51That smell is so strong!
02:53I walked past without expression.
02:56Whispers followed me.
02:57Did Sloane hook up with someone last night?
02:59Shh!
03:00Keep it down!
03:00She can hear you!
03:01She looks so innocent, but she's actually really wild.
03:04I clenched my fists.
03:06In my past life, I broke down and fell into depression from all the gossip.
03:10Every day I was stared at, pointed at, and talked about behind my back.
03:14I tried to explain, but no one believed me.
03:17Can't you smell it yourself?
03:19Stop acting innocent.
03:20Don't deny it!
03:21The evidence is all over you!
03:23Rumors got more and more outrageous.
03:25Some said I worked as a bartender at a strip club.
03:27Others said I was a sugar baby.
03:29Some even claimed they saw me get into a luxury car and not come home all night.
03:32My mom called, her voice shaking.
03:35Sloane, is what they're saying online true?
03:38My heart ached.
03:39In my past life, she asked me the exact same thing.
03:43I broke down crying and said no, that I didn't do any of it.
03:46Mom believed me and went to the school to defend me.
03:49But she was attacked by Heather's fans, who said she was a bad mother.
03:52Dad's grocery store was vandalized with slurs written all over it.
03:56Mom was called a pimp online and had a mental breakdown, ending up in the hospital.
03:59I lost the will to live amid all the abuse and jumped off the lecture hall roof.
04:03But in this life, I won't let this outcome happen again.
04:06I took a deep breath.
04:08Mom, no.
04:10Someone is framing me.
04:11I know.
04:12I raised you.
04:13I know what kind of person you are.
04:15I believe you.
04:17Mom choked up.
04:18Wait for me.
04:18I'm coming to the school right now.
04:22No.
04:23I'll handle this.
04:24I went to the campus police office.
04:26I need to pull security footage.
04:29Security footage?
04:30What happened?
04:31Someone put something in my shampoo.
04:33The officer paused.
04:35Did you call the police?
04:36I want to check the footage first to confirm, then I'll call the police.
04:40He hesitated.
04:42Alright.
04:43Where do you need footage from?
04:45Third floor hallway of the girls' dorm.
04:47The footage was pulled up quickly.
04:49It showed Heather sneaking into the bathroom.
04:53Came out five minutes later, holding a condom filled with a man's semen.
04:58This?
04:59Is that your roommate?
05:00I tacitly agreed.
05:02Can you send me a Google Drive link of this footage?
05:04And I'm calling the police.
05:06You'll have to go to the local police department yourself.
05:09The school wants to keep this as quiet as possible.
05:12I knew what he meant.
05:13The school didn't want a scandal.
05:15But I was going to make it a scandal.
05:17In my past life, I kept quiet to protect the school's reputation.
05:21And what happened?
05:22The school expelled me to calm the public outcry.
05:25This time, I'm going to make everyone see who the real villain is.
05:28I went to the local police station with the link.
05:30The female officer who met me frowned after watching the footage.
05:35It's essentially poisoning.
05:37It's a serious offense.
05:38We'll open an investigation, but you should go to the hospital first to get the liquid tested.
05:43I already knew what it was.
05:45I nodded.
05:45In my past life, when Heather was pregnant, she got drunk and bragged about it to me.
05:50Do you know, a man's semen has a very strong smell.
05:55I just added a few drops of semen to your shampoo and everyone thought you were a slut.
06:00Serves you right for being so stingy about your stupid meal plan.
06:04You deserved it.
06:05By then, I was already hated by everyone.
06:07And even knowing the truth couldn't change anything.
06:09The police found Heather quickly.
06:11At first, she denied it, saying she had no idea.
06:14And accused me of framing her.
06:16Until the police showed her the footage.
06:18And her face turned pale.
06:19She stammered quietly.
06:21I was just joking.
06:22Joking?
06:23The officer scoffed.
06:24Do you know what you did is a crime?
06:26You're being charged with poisoning and criminal harassment.
06:29Heather panicked and started crying.
06:31Officer, I really didn't mean it.
06:34Sloaning was being so mean.
06:36I just lost my head for a second.
06:38She looks down on me for being working class.
06:41She wouldn't let me use her meal plan.
06:43And my boyfriend was going hungry.
06:45The officer cut her off.
06:47It's her property.
06:48Why should she have to share it with you?
06:50You stole from her.
06:52And you have the nerve to complain?
06:55Heather cried harder and grabbed the officer's hand.
06:57My family is really poor.
06:59My dad is sick.
07:00And my mom doesn't have a work.
07:03Me and my boyfriend are both here on student loans.
07:06Sloan's family owns a store.
07:08They're rich.
07:09I just thought...
07:11Enough.
07:12Being poor doesn't give you the right to break the law.
07:16Have two choices.
07:18Pay the victim.
07:20Financial restitution to reach a settlement.
07:23Or face criminal prosecution.
07:24Heather froze.
07:26Her crying stopping abruptly.
07:28Damages?
07:29How much?
07:30The officer looked at me.
07:32I said flatly.
07:33Fifteen thousands in emotional damages.
07:36Plus medical expenses.
07:38Heather screamed.
07:39What did I...
07:41Fifteen thousands?
07:43You might as well rob me!
07:44I scoffed.
07:46You spread lies about me.
07:47And made everyone at school hate me.
07:50Don't you think you owe me that?
07:51I don't have that kind of money!
07:52Then we'll go to court.
07:55Heather panicked immediately.
07:56Sloan and I'm sorry!
07:58I'm so sorry!
08:00Please forgive me.
08:01I really can't pay fifteen thousand dollars.
08:04Have mercy on me please!
08:06I pushed her away in disgust.
08:08Just as my phone rang.
08:10It was the RD asking what was going on.
08:12The school had been alerted when the police took Heather from the dorm.
08:15The school intervened and put Heather on disciplinary probation.
08:19But pressured me to settle it internally to avoid bad press.
08:22Since no physical harm was done.
08:23Thus, filing a lawsuit had to be put on hold for now.
08:26Have two choices.
08:27Pay the victim.
08:29Financial restitution to reach a settlement.
08:31Or face criminal prosecution.
08:34Heather froze.
08:35Her crying stopping abruptly.
08:37Damages?
08:38How much?
08:39The officer looked at me.
08:41I said flatly.
08:42Fifteen thousands in emotional damages.
08:45Plus medical expenses.
08:47Heather screamed.
08:48What did I?
08:50Fifteen thousands?
08:52You might as well rob me!
08:53I scoffed.
08:55You spread lies about me.
08:57And made everyone at school hate me.
08:58Don't you think you owe me that?
09:00I don't have that kind of money!
09:02Then we'll go to court.
09:04Heather panicked immediately.
09:05Sloan and I'm sorry!
09:07I'm so sorry!
09:09Please forgive me!
09:10I really can't pay fifteen thousand dollars!
09:13Have mercy on me please!
09:15I pushed her away in disgust.
09:17Just as my phone rang.
09:19It was the RD asking what was going on.
09:21The school had been alerted when the police took Heather from the dorm.
09:24The school intervened and put Heather on disciplinary probation, but pressured me to settle it internally to avoid bad press
09:30since no physical harm was done.
09:32Thus, filing a lawsuit had to be put on hold for now.
09:35Police took Heather away.
09:36She was held in local custody for seven days for a misdemeanor.
09:40The news spread quickly across campus.
09:42Everyone who had been talking about me suddenly went silent.
09:46Mara and Elise were stunned.
09:47Sloan, we had no idea Heather did all that, Mara said carefully.
09:51We're sorry we misunderstood you, Elise added.
09:54I didn't even look at them.
09:56In my past life, they were both accomplices.
09:59After Heather got pregnant, Mara gave a false statement to the conduct board that I had caused her miscarriage.
10:05Elise photoshopped pictures of me and Heather's boyfriend and posted them online, saying I was a homewrecker.
10:10The three of them worked perfectly together.
10:12One talked, one acted, one performed.
10:15They each had their role and executed it flawlessly.
10:18Stopped at the dorm door and turned to look at them calmly.
10:20Did you ever think that once you do something bad, you can't take it back?
10:24I have backups of all the school's security footage.
10:27You can't get away with anything.
10:29If Mara and Elise were too scared to help Heather, it would be much easier to take her down.
10:34They looked at each other.
10:36Mara forced a laugh.
10:37What are you talking about?
10:39We don't understand.
10:40I've already organized all the evidence.
10:42I cut her off casually.
10:44I can go to the police station anytime.
10:47You know what will happen if you mess with me again.
10:49Heather was in jail for seven days and came back much thinner.
10:53She was much quieter, no longer smiling at me.
10:56She avoided my eyes but kept glancing at me sneakily.
10:59It looked like a mix of hatred and fear.
11:02Didn't care.
11:03The real show was just beginning.
11:05Sure enough, not long after, she started having morning sickness.
11:08First she would gag in the morning, then she was throwing up in the toilet all day.
11:13Mara patted her back and Elise brought her water.
11:15The three of them stuck together again, and their attitude towards me turned from fear to hostility.
11:20I guess they thought Heather's pregnancy meant they could win again.
11:23Heather thought so too.
11:25She became more and more confident.
11:27The fear was gone from her eyes, replaced with her usual arrogance.
11:31One morning, she brought breakfast back to the dorm and stopped by my desk on purpose.
11:35Sloan, did you eat breakfast?
11:38She was smiling like nothing had happened.
11:40Yes.
11:41Good.
11:42She rubbed her stomach.
11:43I haven't been feeling well lately.
11:46You know why.
11:47Didn't respond.
11:48She paused and said,
11:49By the way, I'm pregnant.
11:51Aren't you going to congratulate me?
11:53Congratulations.
11:54I didn't look up from my book.
11:56Did you go to the doctor?
11:58Yes.
11:59I'm eight weeks along.
12:00She said,
12:01Sloan, we're roommates.
12:03Can we let the past go?
12:05I looked up and met her eyes.
12:07Sure.
12:08She visibly relaxed, a smile tugging at her lips.
12:11But you still owe me the money.
12:13Her smile faded slightly.
12:15Of course.
12:16Of course.
12:17I'll pay you back as soon as I can.
12:19No rush.
12:20I looked back at my book.
12:22Take your time.
12:23I remembered the timeline of Heather's pregnancy from my past life perfectly.
12:27Confirmed at eight weeks.
12:29At 11 weeks, she started demanding her roommates take care of her.
12:3215 weeks, the accident happened.
12:35She accidentally slipped in the suite hallway and lost the baby.
12:39Then she blamed me for mopping the floor.
12:41Heather's boyfriend was Jasper Sue, a top student in the business school.
12:45His family was also poor, and they had been dating for two years.
12:49But eight weeks meant she and Jasper were broken up when she got pregnant.
12:52She had been crying every day back then, saying Jasper had cheated on her.
12:57So who was the father?
12:58I found a post on Heather's TikTok burner account.
13:01It was a picture of a man's back, with the caption.
13:04So much richer than Jasper.
13:06I'm going to live a better life now.
13:08You couldn't see his face, but you could see his watch.
13:12A Rolex submarine.
13:13Few college students could afford a Rolex submariner.
13:16I saved the screenshot to my phone and kept it for later.
13:19Sure enough, on week 11, Heather made her move.
13:22She stood up with her small baby bump, called the three of us over, and cleared her throat.
13:27Roommates, I'm pregnant.
13:29You all know that.
13:31Mara and Elise nodded immediately, looking concerned.
13:34We know.
13:35We know.
13:36We'll take care of you.
13:37Heather smiled in satisfaction, then turned to look at me.
13:41Sloan, even though we had some issues, we're still roommates.
13:44You'll help me too, right?
13:46Help with what?
13:48Cleaning.
13:48Taking out the trash.
13:50Bringing me breakfast.
13:51Things like that.
13:52She rubbed her stomach gently.
13:54You can't move around very easily now.
13:56Mara said, Sloan, Heather's pregnant.
13:59Can't you let it go?
14:00Elise added, yeah, you're always cleaning anyway.
14:04It's no big deal.
14:05I looked at all three of them.
14:07I'm moving off campus.
14:09What?
14:10I rented an off-campus apartment.
14:12I picked up my bag.
14:13I can't help with dorm stuff anymore.
14:16When did you apply to move out?
14:17We had no idea, Heather froze.
14:20Last week.
14:21I said, the RD approved it.
14:24You can ask her if you want.
14:26Heather's face turned visibly angry.
14:28In my past life, she used her pregnancy to guilt trip me and make me do everything for
14:33her.
14:33This time, I left before she could even play that car.
14:36Are you still mad at me?
14:38Her voice dropped, sounding like she was about to cry.
14:41You moved out just so you wouldn't have to take care of me, didn't you?
14:44Are you judging me for getting pregnant in college?
14:47You rich city girls are all the same.
14:49There she went again with the guilt tripping and class discrimination.
14:53Heather, your pregnancy is your business, not mine.
14:56Isn't it ridiculous that you're asking me to take care of you instead of your boyfriend?
15:00And, I paused, a small smile on my lips.
15:03Are you sure the baby is Jasper's?
15:04Those words made Heather turn pale for a second.
15:07What do you mean by that?
15:09Nothing.
15:10I opened the door.
15:11Take care of yourself and the baby.
15:13Heather screamed behind me.
15:15Explain yourself.
15:16What do you mean?
15:18Walked away without looking back.
15:19It was drizzling outside.
15:21I walked towards the campus gate with an umbrella, and my phone vibrated.
15:25Piper Zhang, my friend who was in the same department as Jasper, texted me.
15:30Sloane, after you moved out, Heather started a TikTok account.
15:34She's talking shit about you online.
15:36Piper was a quirky, clever girl, and one of the only people who was truly nice to me in
15:40my past life.
15:41In my past life, she was attacked by Heather's fans for helping me, and had to delete all
15:46her social media.
15:48The outgoing girl became completely withdrawn.
15:50This time, the first thing I did was make sure she was on my side.
15:54She's live?
15:55What did she say?
15:56She said you look down on pregnant unmarried roommate, petty and hold grudges.
16:00That you're a rich snob.
16:02Oh, and she said you tried to seduce her boyfriend.
16:05I laughed.
16:06Take screenshots of everything.
16:08What's your plan?
16:09Piper texted quickly.
16:11Tell me.
16:12I'm so excited.
16:13Wait and see.
16:14What?
16:15She hasn't made her big mistake yet.
16:17Every night after that, Heather went live on TikTok and ranted about me.
16:21She talked about how petty I was, how I held grudges, how I judged her for being pregnant,
16:26and how I was classist.
16:28Her eyes were red.
16:29She rubbed her stomach, and she cried.
16:31I really thought we were friends.
16:33But she betrayed me and bullied me.
16:35People flooded the comments.
16:36Sloan is such a bitch.
16:38Come out and apologize, petty and hold grudges.
16:41That you're a rich snob.
16:43Oh, and she said you tried to seduce her boyfriend.
16:46I laughed.
16:47Take screenshots of everything.
16:49What's your plan?
16:50Piper texted quickly.
16:52Tell me.
16:53I'm so excited.
16:54Wait and see.
16:55What?
16:56She hasn't made her big mistake yet.
16:58Every night after that, Heather went live on TikTok and ranted about me.
17:02She talked about how petty I was, how I held grudges, how I judged her for being pregnant,
17:07and how I was classist.
17:09Her eyes were red.
17:10She rubbed her stomach, and she cried.
17:12I really thought we were friends.
17:14But she betrayed me and bullied me.
17:16People flooded the comments.
17:17Sloan is such a bitch.
17:19Come out and apologize.
17:21Thinks she's better than everyone.
17:23Classism is so gross.
17:24Bullying a pregnant woman.
17:27Expose her.
17:27My name started appearing on the school's subreddit.
17:30Hundreds of comments agreed that I was the villain, and the post became the top trending topic.
17:35People started doxing me.
17:37Notes saying Sloan, come out and apologize were taped to the dorm door.
17:41Too bad Heather and the others were the ones living there now.
17:44Mara texted me angrily.
17:46Sloan, this is all your fault.
17:48Our dorm is being harassed.
17:50Elise added, come back and apologize already to make this stop.
17:54Apologize for what?
17:55She can say whatever she wants.
17:58Just apologize, and this will all be over.
18:00Have you been her lapdogs for so long you forgot how to stand up for yourselves?
18:04I type be her servants if you want.
18:06But if you mess with me, I'll teach you a lesson.
18:09Heather's follower count kept growing.
18:11She became more and more bold, and started selling maternity products and lifestyle goods on her TikTok live streams.
18:17Brands started reaching out to her and sending her free skincare products for pregnant women.
18:21Mara and Elise benefited too, getting free food and gifts.
18:24The dorm was filled with packages.
18:27Once I went back to school to take care of something, and ran into Heather carrying a stack of packages
18:32into the dorm.
18:33She saw me, paused, then lifted her chin arrogantly.
18:36How's it going, Sloan?
18:38Fine.
18:39I heard you're renting off campus.
18:41How much is that a month?
18:42She laughed.
18:43I make that in one night from streaming.
18:46Good for you.
18:47She looked down at her stomach.
18:48You never even came to visit me.
18:51You really are so petty.
18:53Did we know each other in a past life or something?
18:55I said.
18:56What past life?
18:57She was caught off guard.
18:59Nothing.
19:00Just a joke.
19:01I walked past her.
19:03Be careful.
19:04The floor is slippery.
19:05Are you cursing me?
19:07She raised her voice immediately.
19:09Just saying.
19:10I walked away without looking back.
19:12She mumbled some insults behind me, but I didn't listen and didn't care.
19:16On the way back, Piper texted me, Jasper went to see Heather last night.
19:21He said the baby isn't his and he's not taking responsibility.
19:25Heather cried and fainted.
19:26She cancelled her stream today.
19:28How did you know the baby wasn't Jasper's?
19:30Just a guess.
19:32A guess?
19:33The timeline didn't add up.
19:34Piper texted back.
19:36You're a genius.
19:37I put down my phone and looked out the window at the cloudy sky.
19:40The real show was about to start.
19:42The news that Jasper was denying the baby spread like wildfire across campus.
19:46Most people called Jasper a deadbeat.
19:48But a few comments started saying Heather was promiscuous.
19:51Doubts started appearing in Heather's TikTok comments.
19:54She went live crying, denying the claims and saying the baby was Jasper's.
19:58That he was just lying to avoid responsibility.
20:00His family is poor.
20:02He can't afford it.
20:03So he's lying about me.
20:05She cried.
20:06Can you believe this?
20:07I'm pregnant.
20:08I was abandoned.
20:10Own roommate hates me.
20:11I'm so alone.
20:13The comments immediately sided with her again.
20:15Jasper, come out and take responsibility.
20:18Deadbeat.
20:19You used her and left.
20:21Jasper was attacked so badly he deleted all his social media accounts.
20:25Heather won this round.
20:26But she didn't know I had contacted Jasper through Piper.
20:29Back up all your iMessage chats with her.
20:31Especially the ones where she asks you for money and admits the baby isn't yours.
20:36Jasper texted back.
20:37How do you know about that?
20:38I know a lot, I said.
20:40The only thing you need to do now is get a DNA paternity test.
20:44She won't let me.
20:45Then go to court and get a court-ordered test.
20:48Jasper was silent for a long time, then texted back.
20:51Okay.
20:5215 weeks.
20:53I counted down the days in my head.
20:55This was when the accident happened in my past life.
20:57Piper ran to see me, looking serious.
21:00Sloan, Heather slipped and fell.
21:02My heart skipped a beat.
21:04Where?
21:05The sweet hallway, Piper said.
21:07She was taken to the hospital.
21:09She lost the baby.
21:11I closed my eyes for a second.
21:13In my past life, I had mopped the floor, so she blamed me.
21:17This time I wasn't there.
21:18So who would she blame?
21:20Who did she blame?
21:21Piper looked conflicted.
21:23She said Elise mopped the sweet floor and didn't dry it properly.
21:26Elise is trapped in the sweet hallway right now.
21:29Everyone is yelling at her.
21:30I sighed.
21:31It happened just like before.
21:33Just with a different victim.
21:35Go see.
21:36A crowd had gathered at the sweet entrance.
21:38Heather was being supported by someone.
21:40Her face pale and eyes red.
21:42She kept her hand on her stomach, even though there was nothing there anymore.
21:46Elise was standing in the corner, looking confused and scared.
21:49Her eyes also red.
21:50It wasn't me.
21:52I swear.
21:53I mopped the sweet floor and waited until it was dry before she walked on it.
21:57Dry?
21:57Mara scoffed.
21:59Then why did she slip?
22:00You did this to Heather, and you have the nerve to lie about it?
22:03The crowd started yelling, pay her damages.
22:06How irresponsible can you be?
22:08How could you be so careless with a pregnant roommate?
22:11Heather looked up, big tears rolling down her face.
22:14Elise.
22:15I can't believe you did this.
22:17I thought we were best friends.
22:19How could you hurt me like this?
22:21The exact same thing she had said to me in my past life.
22:24I stood at the back of the crowd and recorded the whole thing on my phone.
22:27Then I walked forward.
22:28Excuse me.
22:30The crowd parted.
22:31When Heather saw me, she froze.
22:33Then her eyes turned sharp.
22:35Sloan, what are you doing here?
22:37Just came to see.
22:39I looked around the hallway.
22:40Where did she fall?
22:42Someone pointed to the corner.
22:44I walked over and knelt down, touching the floor.
22:47It was dry.
22:48I stood up and turned to Heather.
22:50Where exactly did you slip?
22:52She paused, then pointed to the corner.
22:54Right there.
22:55I stepped on it and slipped immediately.
22:58On dry floor?
22:59I said calmly.
23:00What?
23:01The floor is dry.
23:03I said.
23:03Anyone can feel it.
23:05One in the crowd knelt down and touched it, then looked up.
23:08It really is dry.
23:09Heather's face changed.
23:11It's dry now, but it wasn't when I fell.
23:13How long after Elise mopped did you fall?
23:15Over an hour, someone said.
23:18Over an hour, I repeated.
23:20The hallway is well ventilated.
23:22Even if it was wet, it would have dried in an hour.
23:26So what are you trying to say?
23:28Heather said angrily.
23:29You're just going to let her get away with making me miscarry?
23:32You're right.
23:33That doesn't prove anything.
23:35I pulled out my phone and opened a video.
23:37But this does.
23:38I held the phone up to her face, showing her the security footage.
23:42The video showed Heather walking alone to the corner.
23:44She deliberately stamped her foot hot down on purpose and started crying, holding her stomach.
23:50The whole thing took less than 10 seconds.
23:53All the color drained from Heather's face as she watched.
23:55After a long moment, she snarled.
23:58Sloan, I haven't bothered you at all lately.
24:00Why do you keep coming after me?
24:02I don't know where you got that.
24:04But you should mind your own business.
24:06Where did I get it?
24:07From the school security cameras, I said.
24:10Did you forget?
24:11Security footage can be faked.
24:13She screamed.
24:15You're just still mad at me.
24:16So you framed me.
24:18This is the original file from the security office.
24:20With a timestamp and archive number.
24:22I handed the phone to a guy next to me.
24:25Everyone can look.
24:26The guy took it and watched the video.
24:29Did it on purpose?
24:30Someone whispered in the crowd.
24:32Then her baby.
24:33The baby is gone.
24:34But it's her own fault.
24:36Not Elisa's.
24:37Heather lunged at me.
24:38You're lying.
24:40You framed me.
24:41She grabbed my arm hard.
24:42Her nails digging into my skin.
24:44You bitch.
24:45Sloan.
24:46You hate me.
24:47You never even considered me a friend.
24:50You look down on me for being poor.
24:51You're jealous of my boyfriend.
24:53You've always wanted to hurt me.
24:55I just stood there and let her grab me.
24:57Letting everyone see who was really out of control.
24:59The crowd fell silent.
25:01Heather kept crying and screaming.
25:03Getting more and more hysterical.
25:05Finally, a campus police officer came and pulled her away.
25:08I looked down at the red marks on my arm and took a foot.
25:11That afternoon, I went to the campus health center to treat my arm and get a medical report.
25:15Then I went back to the campus police office to get the full security footage.
25:19Piper helped me edit the video and uploaded it online.
25:22We added the security footage as a picture in picture and some text.
25:25April X.
25:272026.
25:28Westbrook University Girls Dorm Suite Hallway.
25:31Subject Heather Thorne deliberately sits down.
25:33Then starts crying and holding her stomach.
25:35She then tried to extort $75,000 from her roommate.
25:39Claiming the roommate had mopped the floor improperly.
25:42Previously, she was held in local custody for seven days on a misdemeanor charge for adding essential oil to her
25:47roommate's shampoo and spreading defamatory rumors.
25:49The video ended with the police's official arrest and booking record.
25:53Piper was ecstatic when she posted it.
25:55Sloane, this is going to go viral.
25:57Just wait.
25:58Sure enough.
25:59Two hours later, the video had over a million views.
26:03The comments were full of anger.
26:04What an evil woman.
26:06She would lose her own baby just to extort money.
26:09Putting stuff in someone's shampoo?
26:11That's so cruel.
26:13She's a bully who spreads lies and manipulates people.
26:16To everyone who attacked Sloane before.
26:18How do you feel now?
26:19Heather's TikTok was flooded with hate comments within hours.
26:22Her follower count dropped from 800k to 150k.
26:26Brands started emailing her, terminating their partnerships.
26:29That night, she was forced to delete all her social media accounts.
26:33I was eating dinner in my off-campus apartment when Mara texted me.
26:37Heather's voice said,
26:38The baby is his.
26:39I asked him for money, but he has a girlfriend, so you have to say it's yours.
26:44Keep your mouth shut.
26:45You want me to lie for you?
26:47If you do this, I'll give you some of the money.
26:50We'll both benefit.
26:51You're using the baby as leverage?
26:54The baby doesn't matter.
26:55Money matters.
26:57The recording stopped there.
26:58Two seconds later, Heather's voice came back.
27:02Don't look at me like that.
27:03It's not like I did something wrong.
27:05This is just how women live these days.
27:07I posted the recording and the DNA test online, and the comments exploded.
27:11The baby doesn't matter?
27:13Money matters?
27:14She doesn't deserve to be a mother.
27:16I gave her money when she was crying.
27:18Now I feel sick.
27:20Wait, didn't she also spread rumors that her roommate tried to seduce her boyfriend?
27:24And put stuff in her shampoo?
27:26Oh my god, what a terrible person.
27:29Which guy was also doxed by internet users?
27:31He was a junior at a nearby university, whose family owned a real estate company.
27:36His name is Gideon Hale.
27:38He released a statement calmly.
27:39I had a brief relationship with Ms. Thorne from November to January.
27:43We settled everything when we broke up.
27:45There is no unpaid debt or deception.
27:47Regarding the child, I have cooperated with the police investigation.
27:51The official results will be released soon.
27:53The police launched an investigation.
27:56Heather was taken in by the police again for committing fraud and grand larceny from her
28:00ex-boyfriend by lying about the pregnancy.
28:02The night she was arrested, Heather sent me a series of texts.
28:05You win, Sloan.
28:07Are you happy now?
28:09Satisfied?
28:10You have no idea how miserable my life is.
28:13No one ever loved me.
28:14My parents only care about my brother.
28:17I had nothing.
28:18I just wanted a better life.
28:20Why did you have to ruin it?
28:21Have money.
28:23You have parents who love you.
28:25If you grew up like me, you would have done the same thing.
28:28The wind outside the library window blew the curtains back and forth.
28:31In my past life, I would have felt sorry for her if I got these texts.
28:35I would have wondered if I had gone too far.
28:37But this time, after reading them, I felt nothing but calm.
28:41Maybe everything she said was true.
28:42A bad family.
28:44Favoritism towards boys.
28:45Never being loved.
28:46But there are so many people who grow up without love.
28:49Some study hard, some work hard, some heal their wounds alone, some take years to learn
28:54to love themselves.
28:55But none of them use their misery as an excuse to hurt others.
28:58A hard childhood is not a free pass to hurt people.
29:01Heather, your past is your business.
29:04What you did to me is also your business.
29:06They don't cancel each other out.
29:08I've already given the police all the evidence of your poisoning and defamation, plus my medical
29:12report.
29:13Piper sat down across from me alone.
29:15Heather is being charged.
29:17With all the counts.
29:18The school can't protect her anymore.
29:20She's looking at several years in prison with all the charges.
29:23Her life is over.
29:25She brought this on herself.
29:27She sighed.
29:28All the people who attacked you are apologizing in the comments.
29:31Do you want to see?
29:32No.
29:33Why not?
29:34Apologies don't help me.
29:36They're only apologizing because they found someone else to hate.
29:39Not because they actually realized they were wrong.
29:42Next time something like this happens, they'll do the exact same thing.
29:46Piper was silent for a moment.
29:48At least justice was served.
29:50You got what you deserved.
29:52I put down my phone and looked up a window.
29:54Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
29:58Later, Heather was charged with fraud and the case was sent to the district attorney's office.
30:03The school expelled her.
30:04All her brand partnerships were terminated.
30:07Her TikTok account was permanently banned.
30:09The sycamore tree outside my apartment had new buds, bright green in the sunlight.
30:14In my past life, I was dead by this time of year.
30:17This time, I'm standing here, feeling the spring wind and smelling the fresh earth.
30:21It's good to be alive.
30:22The wind blew the sycamore leaves up and down.
30:25The past is gone and can't be changed.
30:28Every day from now on is a new beginning.
30:30It's a new beginning.
