The ugly stretch marks on my belly look particularly hideous under a dark filter.

Netizen A: [Zoe is a bitch.]

Netizen B: [I was in the same high school as her, and she had put on so much weight a year ago.]

Netizen C: [How could she even be pregnant in high school? Why didn't her parents teach her to have a sense of shame?]

Netizen D: [Was she pregnant with her sugar daddy's child?]

Netizen E: [Wow, that's so gross. It makes me uncomfortable to stay on the same campus as her.]

One of my roommates, Anna Moore, asked, "Who is this poster? Why did he or she have a picture of your belly?"

I sneered, "I only told my family and roommates that I had stretch marks on my body."

The other roommate with me, Layla Miller, shook her head. "It's not me. I won't take pictures of your belly. It's so creepy."

"Yeah, and you told us that those marks were because of rapid weight loss when we first met," Anna said.

There were only four people in our dormitory. At this point, the suspect was obvious.

The comments on the forum were still mounting, and more and more pictures of me when I didn't lose weight were posted.

I did gain weight in my last year of high school. In order to prepare for the colleague entrance exam, my parents fed me nutritious food every day. I gained dozens of pounds in just half a year.

The photos were taken secretly. In the photos, I was climbing the stairs with a chunky body and queuing in the cafeteria with my hands on my waist.

Netizen A: [How could she lose so much weight in just one summer? She must have delivered a child to become skinny again!]

Netizen B: [Look at how strenuously she walked, she was obviously a pregnant woman at that time.]

Netizen C: [Only pregnant women would stand like that.]

Netizen D: [I was her classmate in high school, and she always sat on the playground in P.E classes.]

The rumor intensified with the revelations from "insiders" and almost "ensured" the slander about me.

Anna and Layla logged into their accounts and started to help me clarify.

Anna: [That's not true. ​These stretch marks were left by losing weight]

Layla: [Where is her so-called child? Do you have any evidence that she was pregnant at that time?]

Anna: [That's right. The original poster must be a pathetic bastard. Stop the rumors right now!]

But they didn't take the clarification seriously and soon mocked them.

Netizen A: [She's using puppet accounts to shut our mouths.]
