He stood up quickly and nervously took my hand. “Erin, we were just playing dare, I…”
I interrupted with a smile. “I believe
you.
He hesitated and put his arm around my shoulder in a panic. “You all should stop making trouble. If you scare my baby, I will punish you.”
Melissa stood up. She was wearing a tight suspender skirt and walked over with a swaying curve.
“Long time no see, Erin. I heard that you and Elmer are getting married.”
Before I answered, Elmer blurted out,
“No.”
Melissa covered her mouth and laughed with an ambiguous meaning. Everyone looked at each other and soon someone

changed the topic and started playing again.
Elmer looked at me nervously and wanted to say something, but I had already walked to the corner and sat down.
He followed me and poured me juice, but his eyes were always glued to Melissa, who was drinking with someone not far away.
Until the juice overflowed, I was about to remind him.
He suddenly stood up and grabbed Melissa, who was about to take off her clothes after losing a dare game.
“Are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing?”
Melissa shook off his hand and raised her lips, half drunk and half awake. “What does it have to do with you? Who are you to me? Don’t you know I’m single now? Don’t even mention taking off clothes. As long as I want, I can find anyone to have sex with…”

They made a lot of noise and everyone around them subconsciously quieted down. Rolf drunkenly bumped Melissa with his elbow.
Seeing that she was about to fall, Elmer hugged her in his arms without thinking.
Melissa suddenly struggled and burst into tears. “Let me go, since you don’t want me, don’t bother me. I don’t need your pity.”
Elmer’s face was full of heartache that he couldn’t hide and he said loudly with red eyes, “Who said no one wants you? I want you! I only want you!”
Melissa was stunned for a moment and soon shook her head and cried, “You lied to me, you are going to get married soon;
don’t want me. I will find a man now, whoever wants me, I will sleep with him.” She staggered out.

classmates.
They seemed to be used to such scenes. They sighed for a while and then played by themselves. No one remembered that Elmer had a forgotten girlfriend sitting in the corner. Only the intern looked at me. awkwardly and helplessly. “Mr. Elmer‘ s girlfriend, are you okay?”
I guess I must look very embarrassed now, which made him look like he was about to cry. I pulled the corners of my numb mouth, but I couldn‘ t smile, so I had to leave alone.
But just as I walked out of the box, someone suddenly covered my mouth and nose and dragged me back.

“Melissa really didn’t lie to me. This delicate skin and tender flesh look so strong.”
I was pushed into an empty box randomly. My hands and feet were numb, looking at the man who pounced on me, I bit my tongue hard to wake up, picked up the ashtray on the coffee table and threw it at him.
“Fuck, you dare to attack me as a prostitute. You are a slut who has been played by a man, pretending to be a chaste heroine.”
He wanted to pounce on me, but there was a sound of something smashing at the door.
The man shuddered, covered his forehead, cursed and ran away.
I forced back my tears, pressed my trembling arms and left the box without stopping.
At the corner of the stairs, Melissa stood
