Chapter 16

Zack and Louis were taken aback. They seemed shocked that I found them distasteful. In their minds, someone like me-a vain, impoverished wretch-was lucky to be in the same dorm as them.

When they finally processed my words, they were offended. "Fucking hell! Do you think we want to share a dorm with you?"

"Damn it! If I had to choose between you and Joshua, I'd pick Joshua any day!"

"Get lost! And take your junk with you! If you leave anything behind, you can look for it in the trash!"

"You can't even afford to eat at a decent restaurant, always haggling over a couple of bucks. It's disgusting! Ugh!"
