"You can meet me at any time. You don't have to transfer to our class."
Lavinia picked up the breakfast prepared by Nicole, and the exquisite setting inside made her suddenly want to eat.
"Anyway, it was the same in the previous class. So I can still have a friend here."
Nicole smiled with a small dimple on his face, and her eyes bent like a pair of crescent moons.
Nicole didn't seem to think about what her college days would be like if she came to this class and Lavinia didn't be her friend.
It was because of Nicole's simplicity and purity that Lavinia really made her first true friend in college.
"I have a bad reputation at school. So as long as you don't regret being my friend, I'm happy about that."
While Lavinia would answer Chris's phone after class, a kind-hearted 'boy sat down beside Nicole.
"Nicole, it's a great honor for you to come to our class. By the way, you may not know how bad the reputation of that Lavinia is. She is the kind of woman who can sleep with any guy as long as they have money. You can see that our classmates don't associate with her. For the sake of your reputation, I advise you to change your seat and stay away from her."
Nicole thought the boys were just trying to make friends. If that was the case, she could pretend not to hear or stay away. But the boys were just trying to defame Lavinia to Nicole, and she was a little angry.
"That famous man in the news of our Y city some time ago is the one she has a crush on. I heard that she had already become her mistress. But that man dumped her after getting tired of her. Are you sure you still want to befriend her?"
Seeing Nicole frowned, the boy thought she started to regret it, and he became more exciting. However, before opening his mouth again, a glass of water had been poured on the boy's face.
"No matter what kind of person she is, it's not your turn to judge her. Besides, if I hear you repeat something bad about Lavinia, it won't be water next time."
Nicole didn't even think of how dare she takes the courage to pick up the water cup and pour the water on the boy's face. Nicole didn't come to her senses until the boy's face and clothes were all wet.
But at this point, even if that boy wanted to slap her, she had nothing to say.
But she would do that again if she made a choice again. She felt nice after doing that to defend Lavinia.
"How dare you do that. Don't think that you can do whatever you want. Since you chose to be the friend of Lavinia, you will be an enemy with our whole class. So don't blame anyone if the whole class for squeezing you out in the future."
In front of the whole class, the boys didn't fight back against Nicole. Lavinia saw what happened just now when she was standing at the door. She even felt confused for a moment. Was the timid girl she saw yesterday Nicole?
Fortunately, there was not much rest time between classes. After a little farce, everyone returned to their original positions and sat down, and Lavinia returned to Nicole.
She handed Nicole a paper towel and asked her to clean the water stains on her desk. Then she said to Nicole in a voice that only two people could hear: "Thank you, but if I'm not here in the future, you'd better do less stupid things."
"I just don't like them to defame you, Lavinia. Anyway, I believe you're not who they say you are."
Even though everyone said Lavinia was a slut. Nicole stuck to her intuition.
"Listen carefully. How much time do we have to waste if we spend all our time dealing with gossip?"
Lavinia was worthy of being Lavinia, and it really had great wisdom!
Their good days didn't last long. On the BBS forum of the school, a topic of sisters' deep affection and serving the men together suddenly rushed to the top of the list. Except for the school forum, almost everyone in the college got to know them.
If the words were just made up at random, they would disappear in a few days. However, to attract people's attention, the news also put many photos of Lavinia and Nicole talking with two men in the grove.
It's really tricky for the photographer to choose the angle. There were slight PS marks on the picture, but non-professionals couldn't see them. Under this visual error, people could quickly think of the scene where two women and two men trade in the woods.
There was a photo in which Nicole had a conspicuous slap print on his face, and sharp-eyed people immediately followed the slap print when they saw it.
"Nicole was beaten on the face. The man must beat her because of the money."
" Even for money, they will find someone who looks like a rich man. Unfortunately, those men didn't look like the rich guys."
However, this article started to become popular, which was a fact.
Lavinia had been defamed all the time, and she had already get used to it. In the face of those false statements, Lavinia was calmed.
Nicole was different. When she was threatened at the beginning, she was afraid of being known. Now the news that appears in the forum openly, even if it was not true, will cause some harm to Nicole.
Lavinia wanted to contact Nicole before she remembered that she didn't have her phone number at all. Fortunately, Nicole added her WeChat before. So Lavinia had the only way to contact her.
When she sent the WeChat message, no one answered. Lavinia was so worried about her new friend. When she saw that she couldn't contact her, she quickly called the video chat.
Now, she finally answered.
"Hello, Lavinia!"
Nicole's voice was relatively empty and sounded weak.
"Nicole, where are you? I came to see you."
Nicole was a resident student, so she should be at school at this time.
"Are you worried about me because of those rumors? It's all right, Lavinia. I'll go back to school when I'm done with my affairs. So the news won't affect me."
Lavinia knew how Nicole felt. She could hear what Nicole was forcibly suppressing.
"Nicole, tell me where you are if I'm still your friend, and I'll come to you."
She was terrified that Nicole would have danger. People were staring at her inside the school, let alone outside the school.
"My mother died, and I'm dealing with those things in the hospital."
