Chapter 116 : Moral Fiber

*Shelby*

The cold plastic chair pressed into my back as I waited anxiously to be called into my academic advisor’s office. Ms. Smith sent me an email the day before, alluding to the fact that there was something that needed to be discussed in person.

I already knew that it had something to do with the horrible slander pieces being written about me since it came out that Michael and I were dating.

“Miss Hatton, please come in,” Ms. Smith said, standing in front of her door to hold it open for me.

I walked past her giving her a feeble smile, as I took a seat in the chair in front of her desk. She gently closed the door behind her and took her seat back in her office chair. She stared at me for a long time, creating an awkward amount of silence in the room. I knew she was waiting for me to bring up the articles, but I stayed quiet. Finally, she cleared her throat.
