Incident

Isabel was sitting in her hostel room, still feeling shaken from the incident with Andrew. She had taken a hot bath, but the memory of his aggressive advances still lingered in her mind. She decided to distract herself by reading a book and waiting for her friends to return.

As she was reading, she heard the sound of the hostel room door opening. It was her roommates. They walked in, chattering and laughing among themselves. Isabel looked up and forced a smile.

"Hey, where were you guys?" she asked.

"We had a surprise quiz in our class," one of her roommates replied. "What about you? Why weren't you in class?"

Isabel hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell them the truth. "Something happened. Andrew came to our class and tried to... kiss me," she said, her voice trailing off.

Her roommates gasped in shock. "Are you okay?" one of them asked, placing a comforting hand on Isabel's shoulder.

Isabel nodded, but tears welled up in her eyes. "I kicked him in the balls and ran to the principal's office to report him, but the principal didn't take me seriously. He just told me to go to class and study," she said, her voice trembling.

Her two best friends, who had just arrived back from their classes, hugged her tightly. "We're here for you, Isabel. We believe you," one of them said.
