Chapter 10 Opening the original post, I was assaulted by a screen full of vile comments that felt like knives in my eyes.
High school students, always most excited by this kind of gossip.
Just yesterday Zephyr had said those awful things about me.
And now this happened. Like the final nail in the coffin of my public humiliation. Everyone was eagerly commenting:
[Thanks for the content, Phoebe! Already saved that pic for later ??]
[HOLY SHIT! Girlâs stacked! Will there be an encore? Moving into the second floor bathroom from now on!]
[What did I miss?? Why wasnât I in that bathroom? Couldâve gotten some action too.]
[Youâre all disgusting! She was clearly sickâshe had already called in sick that morning! What is wrong with you people?!]...
Some female classmates stood up for me, righteously defending my honor. But most comments contained the cruelest insults a girl could face:
[Suuuure, she had a âfever.â Is that why she ended up in the boysâ bathroom??]
[Maybe she was just SO sick she walked into the wrong bathroom?]
[Yeah right, and Iâm the Queen of England]
[Your Majesty! ?]
[All hail the Queen! ?]
[Weâre not worthy! ?]
[So which of you guys got lucky? How many of you hit that? Was it as good as it looks?]

Chapter 10 [LOL, ask Zephyr. Heâs the one who ârescuedâ her. Probably not his first rodeo with her either]
[Our boy Zeph playing hero again Maybe the âhot seniorâ wasnât even into it~]
Katherine_L: [Stop talking like this. Phoebe was just feeling unwell. This is a horrible way to talk about any girl. Even if something did happen, itâs her choice.]
Katherineâs comment was quickly followed by Zephyr: ZephFire: [Knock it off. She had a fever, I was just helping her]
Nobody believed this weak explanation.
[A fever that magically led her to the boysâ bathroom? Sure, a different kind of âfeverâ maybe??]
[Wonder how many guys âhelped her outâ before Zephyr got there~]
[Isnât Phoebe always throwing herself at Zephyr? So was she trying to seduce him in the bathroom and got rejected? Or did someone else get the goods?]
[@ZephFire, come tell us the story man]
But after that one comment, Zephyr disappeared completely.
Tears splashed onto my phone screen one by one.
My heart felt like it was being shredded to pieces.
It was Zephyr who had forcibly dragged me into that bathroom stall, who had groped me, who had humiliated me.
But he casually glossed over everything that happened.
Allowing all those disgusting, degrading insults to rain down on me. Until I was completely drowning in them.
Sid gently took the phone from my trembling hands. âPhoebe, please donât look at this garbage,â he said softly, his voice cracking with anger.
âNone of this is true. None of this is your fault.â
But it was too late.

Chapter 10 The damage was done. In just twentyâfour hours, Iâd lost everythingâmy first love, my dignity, and now my reputation.
All because Iâd loved someone who never saw me as anything more than a body to use and discard.
