Her Past

The young man immediately took his books and carried them away with an angry face. Diana who did not have time to rebuke the young man could only snort in annoyance. Meanwhile Soraya was still silent and shocked.
"He's so rude! It's his fault, but he's the one who's angry. What's the problem with him?" She squeaked in annoyance, shaking her head.
Soraya didn't want the shock to drag on, she steeled her heart and got up from her spot as if there was nothing to worry about.
"Let's go! Shouldn't we find Kim?" Soraya asked.
"You're right! But, I don't know where she is now."
"What about in her room? Maybe she's home already!"
"Shouldn't we just call her?"
"I think that's a good idea. Call her and ask her where she is now!"
Diana immediately took her phone and dialed Kimberly's number to inquire about her whereabouts. They expect Kim to pick up their calls and let them know where she is.
However, it seems that Kimberly isn't thinking the same thing or maybe she isn't able to answer the call. Diana looked disappointed because even though she had been waiting, Kimberly didn't pick up the phone either.
"How? She didn't answer?" Soraya asked with a hopeful face.
Diana shook her head slowly and it was clear that she was the one who was disappointed.
"What can we do? We should come to her room and make sure for ourselves!"
"Yes, you're right. I didn't calm down until I heard a direct answer from her about the rumors about her."

Soraya and Diana were standing in front of the door to room number 82. The dorm room where Kimberly lived was in a different building from Soraya.
They were starting to have doubts, thinking that their spontaneous act of visiting Kimberly seemed too much. Because indecision makes them not sure to knock on the door in front of them.
"Why are you silent? Try knocking on the door!" Soraya said. Diana grimaced, somehow she felt scared every time she remembered Kimberly's arrogant and slightly rude attitude.
"Why should I do it?"
"Because you are her friend!'
"But, you're also hercfriend, right? Come on Soraya, I beg you to do it! This was your idea!"
"No! You have to do it because you're the one arguing with her the most!" Soraya said defending herself. She cornered Diana who was increasingly cornered.
"You really are cheating!"
"I don't care!"
"What are you guys doing here?"
Without realizing it, Kimberly was already standing behind them and made them very surprised.
"Kyaaa..." Soraya and Diana screamed hysterically as if they had just seen a ghost.
"Why are you screaming?"
"Kim, it's you! You took us by surprise. My heart almost jumped out!" Soraya said breathlessly. She held her chest heaving up and down in shock.
"You guys are exaggerating! What are you doing in front of my room? Are you guys planning something?" Kimberly asked as she unlocked her bedroom door and stepped inside.
Soraya and Diana looked at each other. They are increasingly hesitant to ask Kimberly directly about what happened to her and also about rumors that she is a call girl and a bisexual who has harassed some of her friends in high school.
Diana swallowed. Just as she had met the person who was the source of the news, she felt unsure and began to change her mind.
"What are you guys doing standing there? Come on in!" Kimberly said.
With hesitant steps, Diana and Soraya entered the room and hoped that they could turn back time to the moment when they decided to look for Kimberly.
"Can we visit your room? How about your roommate?" Soraya asked. Her eyes glanced at every corner of the room that looked a little messy.
"It's okay! She used to bring her boyfriend into the room and have s*x while I was sleeping. So it's just like this, no problem!" The answer is relaxed. Soraya was stunned, to be honest it made her very surprised about the reaction Kimberly showed when she told them about her roommate's habits.
"What? You let them have s*x while you were sleeping? Geez, are you crazy? Why do you let them do what they want?" Diana protested and that made Soraya agree with her, even though she only kept it inside, heart.
"What's the problem? We've made a deal anyway, as long as she pays the rent and buys dinner for me, I'll let them do it. Let's just say I rent out the place to them. That way I benefit too, right?" She said casually.
Soraya was at a loss for words, she really didn't know how Kimberly could live with someone who could possibly do something inappropriate to her. However, it seems that Soraya was not the only one who thought about it, Diana couldn't understand Kimberly's way of thinking.
"You're really out of your mind, aren't you?"
"Never mind! So what do you guys really want? Is there something you want to talk about?"
"I'm impressed you guessed it!"
"What do you want to say?" Asked Kimberly who was starting to get suspicious, seeing the movements of Soraya and Diana who several times looked at each other and were nervous about something.
Kimberly waited for them to say something sadly patiently. However, it seems, neither Soraya nor Diana, they still do not want to open the conversation.
Kimberly took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Her face was starting to look irritated and she hated it when someone was always hesitating like this.
"If you don't want to talk either, I'll-"
"Kim, are the rumors true?" Diana asked. She was determined to ask, but Soraya was surprised that Diana would go straight to the point.
Kimberly was silent for a while and turned her back to Soraya and Diana who were waiting for an answer from her.
"If I tell you, what's in it for me?"
"What do you think is only profit?"
"Tsk, what's the difference with you guys? Aren't you here just to satisfy your curiosity about my past?"
