When Zack Reed declared his feelings for the attractive new student, everyone expected me to have an emotional outburst and create a commotion. However, I was nowhere to be seen, even after his confession was complete.
Unbeknownst to Zack, I was actually in his roommate's room, wearing his hoodie and asking with exasperation:
"I've soaked your bed. Where will you sleep tonight?"
Simon Yates looked away, his throat moving visibly as he passed me a towel.
"Dry your hair first. I'll replace the bedding before you rest."
Zack was planning to reveal his feelings to that pretty transfer student.
He had instructed everyone to keep it from me. But he was unaware that some gossipy individuals couldn't resist and had already informed me.
It was common knowledge that I had feelings for Zack and imagined a future with him.
This time, it seemed Zack was completely smitten with that girl.
People anticipated that I would become hysterical, weep, and create a spectacle.
Everyone enjoys witnessing such romantic drama unfold.
They were all anticipating my meltdown and rush to disrupt the situation.
However, to their disappointment, even after Zack's successful confession, I hadn't appeared.
The crowd of spectators, three rows deep, began to lose enthusiasm.
Even Zack's expression lacked much happiness.
He embraced his new girlfriend and checked his phone.
There were no incoming calls or texts.

My Ex's Confession Backfired, I'm in His Roommate's Bed

Zack was furious and attempted to retaliate, but Simon's powerful punch landed squarely on his face.


"You're also a coward and a disappointment."


"My affection isn't for some daughter of the White or Zhao families."


"I care for Lola simply because of who she is."


"Whether she's called Lola White or Lola Zhao, I adore her all the same. It's as straightforward as that."


Simon cut him off with another forceful blow to the face.


Zack howled in agony, clutching his bloodied nose and mouth as he collapsed pitifully to the ground.


Concerned that Simon might escalate and cause serious problems, I swiftly moved to restrain him, pleading, "Simon, please stop hitting him. Something terrible could happen..."


Simon's expression remained stern, but he ceased his assault.


He eyed the blood-covered Zack, pulled out his phone, and called for someone to handle the situation.
