Chloe was quite popular at school, and now everyone was outraged, coming after her with their words. A headache threatened to split her skull. Alice retaliated, unleashing a furious torrent of insults, using deeply offensive language. The forum post exploded with thousands of replies, leaving the admin panicking, thinking the forum had been hacked. After sending her messages, Alice tossed her phone aside and lay back down.
