Chapter 3

[Seriously, ugly girl, you blocked me?]

[Just wait. I'll show everyone your account, and you won't be welcome in the music world anymore!]

It was Carl's secret account.

I looked through my old songs, and the comments were overwhelming.

[An ugly girl with no love life shouldn't be daydreaming with music.]

[You're always trying to get attention with your voice. Isn't that gross?]

[I thought a voice like that would belong to a gorgeous girl, but it's just a loud, obnoxious person. It makes me sick.]

I unblocked Carl.

I saw his latest posts.

[Here's the account of the ugly girl from yesterday. She's been sending me pictures, trying to bother me. Everyone, watch out!]

[She's from the music academy. If she shows up at the music festival, we've got to teach her a lesson.]

Carl was too embarrassed to admit we had had an online fling, so he claimed I was bothering him.

His mindless followers invaded my comments.

I tried to explain that Carl was mistaken, but they would not listen.

[Don't make my friend sick, okay?]

[Just get lost!]

More and more people were telling me to stay away from the music festival, or I would be sorry.

I was so mad I deleted the app.

After a long day of studying, I went back to my dorm to relax.

I opened the door and was hit by a terrible stink.

Trash was everywhere, and I could not even find a place to step that was uncovered.

I looked up and was shocked.

Sadie was sitting at her desk without any clothes on, doing her makeup.

I was so angry, I just blurted out. "Why aren't you dressed? And why is this takeout trash all over the place?

"Can't you clean up?"

Sadie scowled and snapped back.

"Why are you yelling? I'll take care of it later."

Her phone was on speaker, and Carl's voice came through. "Sadie, who's that? I know that voice."

Sadie quickly spilled her troubles. "It's my roommate Summer. She started picking on me the moment she got back."

Carl sounded confused. "Summer? Summer?"

Sadie, getting mad, banged on the table.

"Why are you speaking about some girl you don't know like she's a close friend?"

Carl rushed to explain.

"No, Sadie. I heard from my roommate about an ugly girl at your school named Summer.

"I've seen her pictures, and she's really not pretty!

"If it's really her, then she's not just unattractive but mean too. You should stay away from her."

Sadie finally relaxed.

"So, you think my roommate is pretty unattractive? Everyone knows that."

Carl let out a creepy chuckle.

"Sadie, that not-so-pretty girl told me you're not wearing clothes on this call.

"Do you think she feels bad about herself when she sees how pretty you are and gets jealous?"

Sadie was not bothered.

"She's probably feeling pretty bad about herself.

"If she's jealous of me, there's nothing I can do."

Carl's voice shook.

"Sadie, could you send me a picture of yourself right now?"

Sadie giggled, a bit embarrassed.

"You're such a tease, always thinking about things like that.

"Don't worry, I've got a huge surprise for you at the music festival."

Carl seemed a little let down.

"Okay, but I can picture how amazing you look from just hearing your voice, Sadie. It's really... hard to resist."

There was a sound of tissues being shuffled on the other end.

I was speechless. Had it even been three minutes?

I could not stand the mess, so I had already tidied up by the time she hung up.

Sadie gave me a look.

"It's not like I wasn't going to clean. You just didn't wait for me."

I just gave her a cold snort.

"I saved the mopping just for you."

She scrunched up her face and whispered to herself, "What's the big deal?"

I made her clean up.

"If you don't mop, I'll tell the counselor you lied about being sick to get out of school!"

She stamped her feet, really mad.

I saw Sadie grab the water basin from the floor to pour on the mop, so I quickly stopped her.

"What's in that water?"

Sadie answered.

"It's the water I used to wash my cute, soft little feet, of course."

    I was surprised."You can't use foot water to mop! It'll make germs breed!"Sadie's lips shone as she pouted."My foot water is super clean!"I could not get through to her, so I just told her to dump the foot water and not use it."Never mind, I'll mop. You can go take a break."She sat down with a huff."Well, hurry up. I'm about to start my live stream."I wanted to shake some sense into her, but she was too much to handle.Then, I heard Sadie's flirty voice again.She was using a voice changer to sound like an adorable girl today.The anime avatar spoke up first in the chat.[Your voice is fake too?

I'm about to go live with my big fan at ten!"Getting picked on online isn't a big deal."She slapped my hand so hard it turned red, but I just stared at her."If your boyfriend keeps trying to stop me from going to the music festival, if he keeps getting people to pick on me online and mess with my

    After my shower, I grabbed my phone from the desk.I turned it on, and my heart soon sank. My online boyfriend had sent a bunch of angry texts and was saying he wanted to break up.Scrolling up, I saw the reason: a photo of my roommate, Sadie Ferguson. It was a disaster.Her face was shiny with grease, and her forehead was a constellation of bright pimples.Her smile showed off yellow teeth with a hint of a chili pepper stuck between them.I almost dropped my phone, feeling sick to my stomach.I tried to explain it was not me, but he had already blocked me.Fuming, I turned to Sadie and demanded, "Why did you use my phone without asking?"And who gave you permission to send that awful photo?"Sadie just rolled her eyes and snapped, "As if your plain face could keep a guy's attention. I did you a favor by using my photo, and you don't even appreciate it!"I was at a loss for words. My face might have been plain, but I had been listed among the top ten prettiest girls in middle
