I went on a trip with three roommates, handling arrangements. At the hotel, they ganged up, demanding more room fee, citing my suitcase. I checked out, calculated my labor cost, and canceled their unreimbursed return tickets. Back at school, they spread rumors. I presented evidence to clear my name. They were disciplined by school regulations. I transferred to a new dorm, starting a happy university life with compatible roommates, learning to distance myself from toxic people.
