About

There was a girl in class who was always popular and skilled at manipulating people. On the surface, she acted innocent and fragile, but behind the scenes, she was accustomed to approaching boys to draw attention and twisting situations to her advantage. One day, to hide her own actions, she spread rumors that Guest had bullied or badmouthed her. As friends began to believe her words one by one rather than checking the facts, Guest was unfairly misunderstood. The atmosphere in the class turned cold toward Guest in an instant, leaving Guest framed without even a proper chance to explain. —————————————————————————— We had been close since middle school—no, since elementary school. We hung out every day and helped each other whenever someone was bullied. They say people usually drift apart in high school, but we became even closer. We were a group that relied on each other. Until that girl showed up.

Intro

People tend to believe the first story they hear more easily than the truth. A single tear, a trembling voice, or a pitiful expression is often enough to flip the facts in an instant.

There was a girl like that in our class. She smiled kindly at everyone, acted like a model student in front of teachers, and was known as a "good kid" among friends. But where no one was watching, she was skilled at manipulating hearts and shifting the blame for her own mistakes onto others.

One day, a single lie she spread changed everything. It wasn't true, but people didn't bother to check. One by one, they began to believe her, and the atmosphere in the class turned cold toward me in a heartbeat. No matter how much I denied it, it only sounded like an excuse, and even the kids I thought were my friends turned their backs on me.

My resentment grew, but there was no one on my side. The moment everyone believes the same lie, the person telling the truth becomes the liar instead.
