Before today, I had considered every possible outcome for this situation. Never did I expect that everyone involved would share the same glaring character flaw: a lack of integrity.

Three thousand dollars? My suitcase alone was worth more than that!

Taking a deep breath, I calmly stated, "My demands remain unchanged. I want my belongings returned, and you must face the consequences of your actions. If necessary, I'll involve the police."

Jonathan, the principal, coughed in disapproval. "Miss Luna, must you tarnish the school's reputation over such a trivial matter? Where is your sense of collective honor?"

I retorted coldly, "How can there be a collective if you never care about individuals?"

Elliot and Sheila, undeterred, tried to escalate things. "Some people are just selfish. No wonder she's extorting money," Sheila said, her tone dripping with disdain.

Without a word, I pulled out a copy of my itemized checklist and opened it for all to see.

    Gillian Moreno, the dormitory leader and my fellow roommate, sprang up from her chair and growled, “Who do you think you’re talking about?”No matter how tough Gillian was, she was still a student. Getting into a fight with the dormitory manager could result in severe punishment.My other roommates and I desperately held her back, trying to prevent the situation from escalating.Meanwhile, Sheila, as if relishing the drama, added fuel to the fire. “Some girls treat themselves like commodities, trading themselves for material goods. How pitiful—and disgusting.”She flaunted the gold bracelet on her wrist, shaking it conspicuously. “Only gifts from a real boyfriend can be worn with peace of mind. Otherwise, someone might just stab you in the back. Don’t you agree, Luna?”Satisfied with her parting jab, Sheila and the dormitory manager left triumphantly.I clicked on the post that had caused all the uproar and read it carefully.The photo showed me stepping out of a Maybach while c

    Sheila stepped forward protectively, pulling Elliot behind her. "Officers, if you have any issues, let's discuss them in my office. We shouldn't disrupt class for the other students."She turned to Elliot, patting his shoulder as if to comfort him. "It's okay now. I'm here to protect you. Don't worry."I smiled softly at her and said, "Ms. Sheila, what perfect timing. I just asked Elliot who his girlfriend is, and here you are."Sheila's chest heaved with anger as she gritted her teeth. "Luna, stop talking nonsense! I care about all students equally."I raised an eyebrow. "Really? Then why didn't I see you defending me equally yesterday?"Snapping at my calm response, Sheila abruptly raised her hand, aiming to slap me.The classroom erupted with loud gasps, but before her hand could reach me, the police restrained her. "Ma'am, please calm down," one officer warned firmly.Sheila struggled against their hold, shouting wildly, "Luna, you're spreading lies about your classmates and

    "It's not easy for my parents to send me to the city from the countryside. Please, have mercy!" Elliot pleaded.I met his gaze coldly. "Why did you do it in the first place?"Elliot's facade began to crumble as he realized I wouldn't back down. His face twisted with anger. "You think you're so great?! You're just selling yourself for money! Sir, I want to report this girl for illegal solicitation!"Jonathan's eyes widened in shock. "Elliot, shut up!" he barked, his face pale with disbelief.However, Elliot was far from done. He laughed maniacally, pulling Sheila closer to him. "Not only do I have photos and videos, but I also have a witness. Sheila has seen Luna with a wealthy businessman outside campus many times, hugging inappropriately. She claims she doesn't have a boyfriend—so that man must be her sugar daddy!"It was clear Elliot wasn't just struggling with his eyesight; his mind had gone completely haywire. Realizing I wouldn't withdraw the charges, he decided to drag me in

    The policeman frowned as he stared at Margaret, while Elliot’s face lit up with gleeful pride.“Everyone, you’ve worked hard today,” Margaret said smugly. “This girl is now our daughter-in-law, so this report is just a family dispute, don’t you think?”Perfect. I claimed the wrong suitcase and gained a free mother-in-law.Gillian, disgusted, scoffed loudly. “Hey, ma’am! Why don’t you get the hell out of here? Your son commits a crime, and you’re trying to pull a fast one?!”Margaret’s face darkened with rage. “What do you know? My son is a third-generation lucky charm! No one else would accept this girl—she’s damaged goods!”Gillian surged forward, ready to fight, but I quickly pulled her back and tucked her behind me protectively. Speaking softly yet firmly, I said, “Your son’s refusal to return my valuables is a crime. And now, you’re planning to kidnap me—a female student—to be your daughter-in-law, right in front of the police? Is that your plan?”My words seemed to slap Elli

    After realizing I had taken the wrong suitcase, I received a reply from the airline stating that no compensation would be provided. Their reasoning? The airline's backend system confirmed the number of checked luggage matched perfectly—there were no missing items.I had waited two weeks for this response. How infuriating! As if I wouldn't know whether I had taken the wrong bag.Right after class, I rushed to the airport to request access to the surveillance footage from the baggage claim area.The video clearly showed that I had indeed taken my own suitcase. Yet, the contents inside weren't mine.What on earth was happening?I scrutinized the footage several times until the truth became evident. I pointed at the screen and argued, "That man took my suitcase!

    The audacity of this man! It might not be urgent for him, but it certainly was for me!My temples throbbed with frustration. I couldn't sit idly by any longer. Without hesitation, I made a voice call to him.If he wouldn't answer the first time, fine. I'd call again. And again. I wouldn't stop until he picked up.Noticing my rising frustration, my roommate suggested, "If he's not answering, try finding his mobile number and calling that. Didn't you mention he's doing an internship? He wouldn't dare ignore a call on his work phone."Oh, right. I had been so blinded by anxiety that I hadn't thought of this earlier.Using the basic information I had on Elliot, I searched a recruitment website. Before long, his resume—with his personal phone number—appeared on my screen. I dialed the number immediately."Beep... beep…"After just two rings, he picked up. "Hello, this is Elliot Carr. Who's speaking?"I couldn't help but sneer at the hint of expectation in his tone."This is Luna Ru
