“So I was really, really shocked at the time because I thought this person was one of my closest friends.”

So I was in the school’s prefect board along with some of my — who I thought at the time [were] my best friends. So I went to an all girls’ school. And we have like strict rules about interactions with boys. Right, so when I was younger, before this incident, I had a boyfriend and I had hung out with him while I was wearing one of my school’s t-shirts, which is like a big no-no. So, one of my best friends who was in the board with me had a picture of that day where I was with my boyfriend, wearing a school t-shirt, right? So later on like several years later, um, there was an incident where one of those friend’s sisters got caught doing something that was against the school rules, and then somebody had gone and reported this to the school, like the prefect board — the head of the prefect board, right? And I don’t know who did it. I don’t know who reported it, but I got to know that she was in trouble.

So I was in a position to like be — or give a testimony kind of thing about her, because I was like a senior at the time, so my, like my level in the prefect hierarchy was higher. So I was able to — like, people counted on me to like, you know, tell them whether this actually happened or not, and I had no idea what was going on. But apparently, one of my best friends, um, had spread the word that there was this picture of me in my school’s t-shirt with my boyfriend and then, you know, “How is she getting away with it while this other kid is not?” Well, well, first of all, it happened years and years ago, and then second, I was not the one who reported the other kid for whatever she did. So I was really, really shocked at the time because I thought this person was one of my closest friends. Like I had helped her after her father passed away. I had like gotten her food, got her clothes, everything. So that was really cool blooded, I think, because if she would have taken that story about my photo to the prefect board, I would have been like kicked off, and then my whole future would have changed.
