The New me

There was another film to add to the chaos.

The monitored showed a girl, a middle schooler in her uniform who kept looking on her back as she slipped into an empty room. The next footage showed what's inside. The room has may computers lining on the table and the girl was busy typing while talking loudly to herself.

"A prodigy in arts that was better than me?" "There was an anonymous post before that said she destroyed someone's piece just so she could secure her spot. If you don't believe then ask around."

"A young lady who stays positive despite her circumstance?" F*ck all those. She is nothing but a female who only knows how to use her image to attract bees. She's a wh*re even when she's completely blind and deaf. You guys better keep an eye on your partners."

"The image of a rich yet down to earth classmate? Didn't you know that she's badmouthing you when she's with her friends? She's a sly fox so beware."

"Remember the incident where class C had to go around and run 10 laps in the middle of the sun? She's the culprit. She rattled to the teacher that their class had been smoking within the vicinity. She even said that the class's beauty was no match for her."

The crowd that was insulting me was now focused on the screen. Even the people at the back kept looking in front.

"What the hell?"

"What is this now? Volume 2 of the story?"

"But isn't this better? It even has audio."

The crowd began to murmur. Luke was staring blankly at the screen while Lily was trembling in fright."No, No" she kept muttering.

"Have someone check for the source of this footage!" Noah said to the surrounding crowd. The staff from the rented place also came to help. The few teachers present don't even know what to do. Their status was lower than the alumnus so they were hesitant if they need to console us or reprimand the crowd.

The scene shifted to a different location. The girl was now wearing a high school uniform as she walked on tiptoes and inserted a piece of plastic white tube into a bag. Then later that day the girl from the slideshow showed up and got her bag.

This was written in the diary. Iris was leisurely walking down the stairs with her hand inside her bag searching for her phone while busily chatting with a classmate. The classmate unexpectedly slipped down and in her moment of danger tried to hold on to something. She held on Iris's bag but ultimately fall down. The shoulder bag was opened and her items were thrown out. Their commotion attracted a lot of passerby's as they look at them from above and even those who were climbing the stairs stopped and stared.

Iris then helped her classmate up as she apologized for inconveniencing the others. Some passerby lost interest and left the scene. It was not until her classmate helped Iris picked up her things that they took noticed of the white plastic thing. It was a used pregnancy test tube with one red line. Both were shocked and denied that it was theirs. This scene gained another attraction and soon it was spread that one of them was engaging in obscene acts. To add to her trouble, the classmate she's with dropped out of school. Further fueling the rumors on Iris.

"Wow! Sh*t just got real." Somebody exclaimed from the crowd.

Someone chimed in as he said, "For real though. What drama have we subscribed to?"

"Don't they both look familiar?" taunted the other.

From the corner of my eye, I saw how Lily was anxiously looking at me and Luke. Luke had already put both hands on his temples with his head down.

"Please have it stopped…." I heard Lily said in a weak voice.

The scene changed to an outdoor space. The footage only managed to capture half of the girl's face as she spoke with a male. The girl was asking the guy how much does she needs to pay. The guy said the amount he wanted and she said she'll make it double if he succeeded. The guy accepted the deal asking what exactly does she need the duplicate key for. The girl answered that tomorrow night there will be a blackout.

Hearing the word 'blackout', Luke looked up the screen. Lily gathered her wits as she screamed. "Stop it now! This is all fake!"

But the scene on the screen continued to play.

The guy asked if she meant for him to steal something to which the girl nodded. The guy then continued asking why he needs to do that when the girl was already wealthy. The girl laughed and said that it wasn't money she's after. The guy curiously listened to the girl's next sentence.

"You'll steal her innocence." She lightly said. The guy was stunned yet continued on asking who his target was. The girl only replied with, "You'll know soon." And gave the unit number and describe the victim. The guy stated that the girl seemed close to the victim to which the girl did not comment on.

The footage yet again changed into a closed space with a security leading the girl inside one room. The guy she was speaking to before lay on the bed with his face bruised. The moment he saw the girl he shouted "Liar! You said she was alone but look at this! Look at me! She had someone inside and they punched me left and right!" The girl apologized for the mishap, it was only today that she knew the victim switched place with a friend. The guy asked for compensation to which the girl readily agreed so long as he confessed it was him alone who planned all things and no one else. The guy said that he already did that and asked that he mustn't get jailed. The girl assured him that she already spoke with the owner of the resort and he should know by now that even the security team was on their side. The girl then hurriedly left the place.

The scene switched to another angle. The girl was wearing the same clothes as she acted like she came from the bathroom. Her friend who was waiting for her was heard asking if she's fine.

"Lily, are you alright? You want to visit the clinic for the second time?"

The friend was Luke and the girl from beginning to end was Lily.
