Seeing my state, Liam hesitated for a moment.

“Alright, alright, Scarlett, we’re all just regular guys here, we don’t fall for the damsel–in–distress act.”
Knowing it was useless to reason with them, I tried to leave the private room.
But as soon as I pushed myself up, Chloe shoved me back down.
“The party’s not over, why are you leaving? You’re disrespecting me!”
Her grip was surprisingly strong.

“Chloe even saw your medical report; you don’t have asthma. You just get a little short of breath sometimes.”
I forced myself to stay calm.
“Liam, you’ve seen me have an attack before, why would I lie to you?”
Before Liam could answer, Chloe interjected.
“To get attention, obviously. In this day and age, there are always those attention–seekers faking illnesses.”
“Heh heh, Scarlett, are you like those online princesses who also claim to have depression?”
At her words, Liam’s friends erupted into even louder laughter.
Some of them whistled.
