Soraya struggled, forcing this man to let go. But he kept Soraya's mouth shut and asked her to be quiet. When Soraya knew that she had to calm down, this man began to let go of his hand covering Soraya's mouth.
"What are you doing in my room?"
"Your room? Did you forget that this room is also my gilfriend's room, huh?"
"How did you open the door to this room? Where did you get the key?" Soraya asked. She felt very panicked and frightened, not expecting that Kerry and her boyfriend had crossed the line in violating her privacy.
Josh smirked as he watched Soraya freak out at his disgusting behavior. It made him feel good. Soraya was starting to realize that she couldn't show her fear of this crazy man.
"Look, I have nothing to do with you. I just came here to pick up some of Kerry's stuff!" He said as he opened Kerry's cupboard and looked for something in every drawer, just like a thief.
"Did Kerry leave her keys with you?" Soraya asked. To be honest, she was a little hesitant to suspect that Kerry had left her boyfriend's room key on purpose.
Josh ignored the question and was still busy looking for something and when he found a box containing a watch, he immediately took it and put it in his jacket pocket.
"What are you doing? Why did you hide Kerry's watch?" Soraya who sensed the awkwardness, asked without preamble even though she was afraid.
Hearing her question that seemed to lead to accusations made Josh pause, then turn to her. Josh looked displeased, it was clear from the way he stepped towards Soraya who was slowly walking backwards.
"You're saying that I stole her things, aren't you?'
"N-no, I just wanted to know, why you hid that watch in your pocket?" Soraya's body trembled. She hoped to get out of here soon and away from this crazy young man.
"Hahahaha... you think I'm stealing, don't you? Listen to me, you damn b***h! I did all of this with that b***h's approval! Therefore, stop meddling!"
"I-I I don't-"
"Do you understand?" Josh snapped at her. Soraya fell silent with a heart that almost jumped out of her body.
Soraya looked down weakly, she didn't have the courage to look this man in the eye. Especially at a very close distance like this. Soraya could even smell the alcohol from his breath. Makes her head spin.
"I warned you to stop interfering! And don't think you can complain to anyone about this. Because if you do, then I won't hesitate to torture you to death. Do you understand?" He said with a much worse threat.
Hearing this, Soraya fell silent. Tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her flushed face holding back the anger, sadness, disappointment and frustration over what she was going through.
Because Soraya didn't answer his question, Josh got even more annoyed and showed his aggression by forcibly hugging Soraya to make him feel even more intimidated.
"Answer me when I ask you! Do you understand?" He shouted. Soraya who felt that she had no choice just nodded and cried.
"Clever girl!" He said as he walked towards the door and disappeared quickly.
As soon as Josh came out of the room and left, the breath she had been holding for a moment, she let out. Her weak body slumped limply on the floor. Soraya cried profusely, she did not understand why all this trouble had to happen to her?
"I can't go on like this, I can't go on under pressure from them. I have to go, I have to move and find another room. Yes, I have to move right now before they get into more trouble!" She thought. Soraya tried to brace herself. She got up and walked out to Mrs Carla, as the only person who could provide a solution to her problem.

"What? Empty room? For what?" Mrs Carla asked. This woman frowned as Soraya asked her.
"I thought it would be better if I stayed in a separate room from Kerry Smith."
"What's really going on? Do you have a problem with her? You can tell me if something goes wrong!"
Even though Mrs Carla asked so, it was very difficult to tell her the real problem. Especially if she finds out that all of this started with Kerry's habit of bringing her boyfriend to her room several times and having s*x on someone else's bed.
Soraya felt very disturbed and every time remembering it made her frustrated and uncomfortable. However, if she told Mrs Carla about the matter, it was certain that she would be in big trouble and she would hate to have to deal with him again.
"No big deal. I just thought it would be better if I didn't have to share the room with other people. It doesn't matter if the room size is smaller or the rent is a bit more expensive. As long as I have space for myself, I'll do anything."
"I see, you feel uncomfortable if you have to share a room, don't you? It's fine if you want it. But the problem is for now, there are still no vacant rooms for you to occupy. This year, there are many new students who prefer to live in dormitories rather than renting an apartment on the outskirts of the city. That's why I can't help you. But if you really want to move, try to find a nice enough apartment with cheap rent on the outskirts of town. If you're lucky, you can get one."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you very much for the advice. Then I'll excuse myself!"
"Okay, oh yeah, you can search the internet for information on nearby apartments!"
"I see, Thank you very much!"
Soraya stepped out with a slightly relieved heart, even though she couldn't get the help she got. But at least she found a solution that she could find another place to live outside the dorm and she hoped she could find a more comfortable place.
"Where can I find a good apartment at a cheap price and most importantly, close to campus? I can't possibly ask mom for extra money, she will be angry if she finds out that I don't live in the dormitory. But if I tell her about my problem? No! I can't tell mom and dad. They must be worried and ask me to go home. I don't want to, I've tried so hard to be in this place. Because of that, I have to fight with my own strength!"
