After returning to the dormitory, I took a shower and lay on the bed.

My phone kept ringing.

Peter kept sending me voice messages.

I didn't listen. After converting them to text, I understood what he meant.

Sarah complained to him. She deliberately poured water on her head and said it was me who did it to her.

He asked me to apologize to Sarah.

If I didn't apologize, he'd block and delete me.

He asked me to apologize to Sarah in front of everyone on the playground tomorrow night.

I only replied with one word.

[OK.]

I wanted to see what tricks they were playing.

The next day, I went to the playground as agreed.

It was crowded with people, all of whom were probably called by Sarah.

"Apologize."

Peter walked towards me from the crowd, with Sarah walking beside him.

The moment I saw Peter, I panicked.

Why is there a long scar on his face?

My emotions surged uncontrollably as I walked to him.

"What happened to your face?"

My voice trembled.

The wound is long and thin, and it will definitely leave a scar.

Can't I be left with a bit of hope?

Peter kept talking.

"I got injured in a fight. What's the big deal?

"At most, it will leave a scar. Why make such a fuss about it? Have you forgotten why you're here today? Apologize to Sarah now!"

I couldn't hear any sound. My head was buzzing as I froze in situ.

After a moment, I turned around to leave, and I walked unsteadily.

Peter stopped me.

"You want to leave before apologizing?"

Peter wanted to hold my hand, but he was stopped by someone.
