Early in the morning, Catherine was woken up by the alarm ringing across the bed. When she was training, she also lived with
the others.
But her roommates at the time were quite self-disciplined. They would never do such a wicked thing as leaving the alarm on to
wake everyone up while they themselves were still asleep.
Catherine rolled over in bed and precisely located the source of the ringing.
She nimbly removed a useless screw from the iron bed frame beside her and held it between her index finger and ring finger.
Then she aimed and flicked the screw out.
With a soft click, the alarm died abruptly, and the dormitory instantly quieted down.
After that, Catherine glanced at the time. There was still half an hour before her wake-up time, and she could continue to sleep.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
After waiting for the two roommates to get up, Catherine slowly got out of bed and began to wash and tidy up.
Seeing that everyone was up but Beatrice was still on the bed, Isabella kindly stepped forward and called her.
“Beatrice, Beatrice, we’re going to be late for the orientation meeting!”
Beatrice opened her eyes in a daze and fumbled to find her phone. She glanced at it and was stunned instantly.
In the next second, Beatrice’s screams were heard throughout the dormitory.
“Ah... Why is it at this hour?”
Beatrice did not immediately start to wash up. Instead, she looked up and blamed Isabella on the side, throwing a tantrum.
“Isabella, did you do it on purpose? Why didn’t you call me earlier?”
Isabella looked at Beatrice innocently. ”
Beatrice, you didn’t tell me this last night. I thought you set the alarm yourself, so I didn’t think much of it. You didn’t wake up
when we were about to leave, so I reminded you.”
Beatrice’s face turned green with anger, but she immediately reacted.” The alarm clock, yes, my alarm clock.
Did you turn it off for me?”
Isabella’s bed was right across from Beatrice’s, so she thought of Isabella in the first place. Isabella was so frightened that her
face turned pale. She waved her hand and hurriedly explained, “No, it wasn’t me. How could I do such a thing!”
Seeing Isabella being scolded by Beatrice, Catherine couldn’t take it anymore. She took the initiative to shout, “Isabella, I heard
that you are the liaison of your class!”
“Ah... Yes! Anyone can be late but me!”
Isabella exclaimed and hurriedly followed Amelia and Catherine. The three of them left hand in hand, leaving Beatrice alone to
stomp her feet in anger.
Catherine helped Isabella out, and it made Beatrice more and more disgusted with Catherine.
She was so angry that she wanted to tear Catherine apart right now.
Catherine was in the same class as Amelia, so she followed Amelia to the playground and found the team of the electronic
information engineering department.
Amelia was chatting with a few new classmates to get to know each other. Unlike the sociable Amelia, Catherine found a shady
place to sit and rest.
Girls in the electronic information engineering department were preferred. Apart from Amelia and Catherine, there were only
three other girls.
There were only five girls in a large class of 60. It didn’t take a genius to realize how rare the girls in this class were.
Catherine wore a hat on her head, and the lowered brim of the hat concealed her appearance.
On the contrary, Amelia, who was sunny and cheerful, seemed a little more popular at the moment.
The team next to them was from Styre University’s medical department, and Beatrice was among them.
She rushed over here when she was about to be late.
Like Isabella, she was also the class liaison, but she was the last member of the class to arrive.
Beatrice found the classmate who had helped with the roll call. She looked at him with a big smile and said, “Calvin, thanks for
helping with the roll call!” Her voice was sweet and gentle.
Calvin was initially a little uncomfortable, but after seeing how gentle Beatrice’s attitude was, he instantly surrendered.
He scratched his head and looked at Beatrice with a shy face.
“It’s okay. It’s not a big deal.”
“Calvin, it’s all thanks to you today. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even know what to do!” Beatrice looked aggrieved and seemed to have
suffered a lot.
Seeing Beatrice being wronged, Calvin could not help but press her about the situation.
“What’s going on? I thought you said you overslept.”
Beatrice showed the alarm clock list on her phone to Calvin.
“Calvin, I set a lot of alarm clocks, but they were turned off. I stayed up too late last night, so I didn’t wake up and almost got the
whole class in trouble.”
Hearing Beatrice’s aggrieved complaints, Calvin was furious.
“You said you were scolded by a freshman in your dormitory yesterday, and someone turned off your alarm clock today. Beatrice,
did someone target you?”
Beatrice’s face was full of grievances, and her eyes were very innocent.
“I don’t know. But I don’t think anyone will.”
Looking at Beatrice being so kind and defending her bad roommates at this time, Calvin couldn’t help it anymore.
“No, we can’t let this matter go. If you let them off the hook this time, they will continue to bully you in the future. Beatrice, don’t
worry. I will definitely give you justice in this matter. No one will be allowed to bully the people of our medical department at will!”
Beatrice nodded at Calvin gratefully and cheered inside. Her purpose was finally achieved!
Catherine quietly leaned under the tree to rest. Fortunately, most of the freshmen still didn’t know each other, and no one thought
she was weird.
Suddenly, a large shadow enveloped her. Before Catherine could look up, she heard noises coming from her head.
“You must be Catherine, right?”
Catherine raised her eyes to look at the leading boy. His appearance was average, and there were a few pimples on his
forehead that had just appeared.
He looked bad-tempered and mean.
When she wanted to remind him that anger was bad for his health, the boy suddenly sneered and said, “Well, you bullied our
people in the medical department, and now you don’t dare to admit it, right?”
“So he’s here for trouble. Someone from the medical department?”
wondered Catherine.
Catherine stood up and looked at the boy with a cold gaze.
Amid the other party’s chatter, she asked indifferently, “Who are you?”
Calvin was planning to give a long speech but was choked by Catherine’s question.
After a while, he reacted and stammered, “It doesn’t matter who I am, but if you dare to bully your classmates on campus, then
you’re wrong!”
Catherine crossed her arms and looked at him with raised eyebrows. She sized Calvin up and down with interest in her eyes.
Then she sneered. “Well, tell me, who did I bully?”
