After both Emily and Anna had some disagreements about what would they do to me after giving me the mango powder, the two of them eventually reached a mutual agreement. Unfortunately, their voices were too quiet for me to record them. However, I knew that they were planning to buy a large bag of mangoes to eat in the dorm as soon as they exposed me.

Meanwhile, I was still laying on my bed as I listened more and more to their conversations. Slowly but surely, I began to understand the reason why Emily really hated me. It made me understand why she thought that I was showing off to her.

From what I knew, Anna had a rich family. Her parents were actually CEOs that worked in major companies. But I intended to give her a bag purely out of sincerity. It was never because I wanted to show off to them. Instead, I just wanted to get along with them while the four of us went to the university.

I knew very well that my allergy was indeed my own problem, so I knew that I wasn’t supposed to ask them not to eat mangoes for my own safety. However, my parents also told me that they wouldn’t let me stay away from my home and they had to accommodate my allergy. Thus, I could only spend money to buy them gifts to try to make them accommodate my allergy.

Not only that, I would tell them to tell me whenever they wanted to eat mangoes so that I could avoid it. Oh, how wrong I was! Who knew that my ideas of giving them gifts backfired horribly to me?

I knew that I couldn’t blame them for eating mangoes before me every single time. After all, I also felt bad about them not being able to eat whatever they wanted to eat. So, I chose to take my medicine as I suffered in silence whenever they ate mangoes.

What I hated the most was the fact that they didn’t even take a human life seriously. They even killed me in my previous life! If they kept thinking that they could play with my life, I would gamble with this life to show them the real karma.

After both of them left, I also left the dorm to eat something. Then, I went to the library to study until 8 p.m. When I came back to the dorm, my roommates were all eating mangoes.

The moment Fiona saw me, she apologetically said, “Oh, Valerie! You’re here very early!”

I calmly replied, “I already told you in the WhatsApp group. I guess you guys haven’t checked it.”

Indeed, I already sent them a message in our WhatsApp group that I would come back early before I came back. Surely, they were the ones who chose to ignore it. As for Fiona, I did believe that she might not see it because she seemed to be sincere with her shocked face.

The girl said, “Oh, really? Well, my phone is charging now. So, I guess I haven’t seen it because of that.”

I just responded to her by letting out a faint smile without saying anything. Meanwhile, my body already reacted because I already had red rashes at this point. After that, I looked at Emily and Anna> Both of them were still focusing on eating their mangoes happily as they ignored me being here.

When I saw my arms, the rashes already struck them. There were lots of itchy rashes at different sizes. They were really painful.

Out of nowhere, Emily suddenly made a sarcastic remark that was clearly meant for me, “If someone wants to eat, someone can eat, right? If someone can’t eat just because they have some allergy, that someone should go out and wait somewhere else. There are only three of us here, so why should we accommodate that someone all the time?”

Anna responded in agreement, “That’s right! We can eat whenever we want. Some people are just so selfish. Just because they’re allergic to mangoes, they want us to accommodate them by giving us expensive gifts? When we want to eat, we have to think whether that person is here or not. How can we keep up with this?”

“This world doesn’t belong to that person alone. Now, we are even asked to accommodate that spoiled person at the university! If we graduate, do we still have to cater to that person?”

Meanwhile, I started to feel dizzy and had a hard time to breathe. Not only that, my whole body was itchy as if it was being burned. It was really itchy, especially my neck and cheeks that turned red and swollen. I couldn’t help but try to get my medicine in my bag. Suddenly, my hand shook violently that caused the medicine bottle to fell to the floor.

When Fiona wanted to help me to get my bottle, she was stopped by Emily. Emily then pretended to take my bottle, but she actually kicked my bottle to the balcony. After that, the girl pretended to look surprised as she covered her mouth and said, “Sorry! I didn’t see it!”

I could only shook my head that became heavier before I staggered to the balcony. However, I was shocked to see that I got tripped by Anna who outstretched her foot. Immediately, I fell to the floor.

Again, Fiona wanted to help me. But she was then pulled by then again. After that, I could hear that Emily said to her in a threatening manner, “You don’t need to care for her. She’s definitely pretending. After all, there is no man here. So, she has no idea to whom she has to play victim for.”

“But-”

Clearly, Fiona wanted to say something else. But she was then pulled by both Emily and Anna who kept continuing to eat mangoes. While Fiona was usually decent to me, she was meek. So, I knew that I couldn’t count on her at all.

The only thing I could do was to bite my lips as hard as I could to force myself to stay awake. In fact, I was barely hodling on my bed as I stood up while I continued to stumble to the balcony. Eventually, I picked up the medicine bottle. But I no longer had any strength. So, I could only beg them to get me some water.

When Emily heard that, the girl let out a smirk as she made another sarcastic remark, “Gosh! You’re quite good at acting? What kind of sad drama are you planning to show us here, huh?”

“Please help me. I really don’t have any strength left. I feel so uncomfortable here. Please help me get some water.”

Fiona looked at me anxiously. When the girl saw that I was about to faint at any time, she hurried to get glass from her desk.

But Anna stopped her and pointed at my glass as she said, “Fiona, use her glass. Don’t let her use your glass. Aren’t you afraid of getting infected by her allergy?”

For a while, Fiona hesitated. But she eventually turned around to get my glass on my desk. Immediately, I took my glass with trembling hands as I waited for the person I had been waiting. All of a sudden, the door to the our dorm rang.

“Is Miss Valerie Mitchell in the dorm?”

Anna answered, “Isn’t that our resident advisor. What she’s doing here?”

Fiona meekly responded, “She’s now looking for Valerie, but Valerie is like this now.”

No one in the room answered me, but the resident advisor (RA) still knocked the door. Emily just rolled her eyes as she told Fiona brashly, “Just open the door a little ad tell her that Valerie isn’t in the dorm!”

Fiona just looked at me awkwardly as she whispered, “I-I can’t lie.”

Anna, who was annoyed, eventually said, “It’s useless, Emily. I’ll answer it.”

Then, Anna immediately opened the door albeit slightly while she blocked the room with her whole body. After that, the girl greeted the RA as she faintly smiled. Just as she was about to say that I wasn’t here, I immediately shouted with all strength I had, “Ma’am, I’m here!”

Immediately, the RA opened the door in hurry as she walked inside the dorm and shouted at Anna, “You idiot, are you trying to lie to me?”

Without further ado, Anna kept apologizing and tried to change the subject. But Emily was still trying to hide me. Still, the RA was a stubborn person. When the RA realized that Emily was trying to block her to go to my room, the former got so angry that she pushed the latter aside. Finally, she was able to see me.

Immediately, the RA’s eyes went wide. She quickly hurried to rush towards me. At this point, I was now leaning against the bed corner weakly as I was holding my eyelids to let her help me open my medicine bottle’s cap.

“What’s wrong, Valerie? What’s going on?”

The RA looked at me nervously before she then looked at the trash can. She immediately understood about what was going on. After all, she knew that I was allergic to mangoes. Since she didn’t have time to process all of this, she focused on helping me to open the bottle cap.

However, the RA noticed that my hand was shaking as I held the medicine bottle. She then took the bottle from me as she fed me my pill. After that, she tilted my glass of water to my lips as she helped me to drink. As soon as I swallowed the pill, I asked the RA to help me call 911 with every last bit of my consciousness.

Seeing this, Emily then jumped out as she tried to pull the RA and coaxed her, “Ma’am, I think Valerie is just pretending. She didn’t eat any mangoes. How couldd she be allergic? Let’s not cause any trouble for the police.”

Anna also added in agreement, “Yes, that’s right, Ma’am. Valerie is surely pretending. We’ve been living at the same dorm with her, so we could see through her lies. We’ve seen it all the time. She just likes to seek attention.”

However, the RA who was a decent adult knew very well whether I was pretending or not.

When she saw how indifferent my roommates towards me, the RA suddenly shouted at them in anger, “Shut the fuck up!”

The moment Emily and Anna saw the RA’s tough attitude, both of them quickly shut their mouths. As we were waiting for the 911 to bring an ambulance, the water I had drunk that had mango powder in it started to take effect. My mouth started to foam. There was only a buzzing noise in my ears.

Not only that, I could only hear the RA asked me to holding on because the ambulance would be here soon. But I couldn’t respond to her. I just held the glass in my hand tightly as I waited. Soon enough, the ambulance alarm was heard downstairs.
