Chapter 1606
Frida's words got Mashauva silent for a moment.
"I'm just thinking out loud. Don't take it to heart."
Frida hurriedly salvaged the situation and chuckled, "Regardless, just follow your heart. No matter who it is and what decision you make, what's important is that you don't hurt yourself."
"Frida, you're the best."
Hugging Frida's arm as she leaned on it, Mashauva said, "From now on, let's work hard together. You study hard while I work on losing weight." When Lena and Hailey arrived, they were also surprised to find that Mashauva had lost weight.
When they asked her, Mashauva did not keep them in the dark either, explaining shyly, "I just realized I'm too fat, so I want to shed the pounds." Hailey and Lena exchanged glances and noticed the same emotions in each other's eyes.
This girl finally realized she was a fatty. They'd thought she'd remain so for the rest of her life, not expecting to witness her lose weight.
However, they smiled and comforted Mashauva on the surface.
"How are you fat? I think you're just fine. It won't do your body good if you lose weight, isn't it? Maybe you should forget it."
"Yeah. Besides, you look so cute when you're chubby. If you lose weight, you won't be as adorable anymore."
They showered her with phony glowing terms.
Terms they had never said to Mashauva.
"Really?" Mashauva asked as she blushed.
"Of course, look at the girls in school. Is there anyone cuter than you?"
"We really think you're adorable, so if you think losing weight is too difficult, just forget about it."
No, that wouldn't do. Mashauva shook her head. Being cute wouldn't do anything. She had to lose weight. After all, some people thought she was ugly because she was fat.
She didn't know if Bruno thought so too, but she wanted to be a better version of herself.
"No matter what, I will do my best to lose weight."
From that day on, Mashauva was the first to wake up among the group of four. Even if Frida wanted to head to the library, she had to wait until it was open, so she'd wake up to find Mashauva, who laid on the lower bunk, gone every time.
By the time they finished washing up, Mashauva would return to the dormitory drenched in sweat. After which, she'd down several glasses of water before going straight to the bathroom.
Lena and Hailey both revealed disdainful gazes.
"Don't tell me this fatty actually thinks she'll be able to lose weight."
"Of course not. She'll only last for a few days. With her eating habit, no way she can curb her cravings as she wishes. Just wait and see."
With that, they met with Frida's eyes. Since they knew she wouldn't go talking trash, they weren't afraid of her at all and merely gave her a disdainful glance before leaving the dormitory.
Frida packed her things up then knocked on the bathroom door.
"Mashauva, I'm leaving first. Don't be late."
"Alright."
In the next few days, Mashauva continued to get up early to jog in the field. She began her run before dawn and jogged until the sun had risen.
At first, she thought she was the only one to do so, but to her surprise, she'd bump into her schoolmates who were doing the same. Some were as chubby as her, while others did it for fitness.
Day one, day two, day three... A week had passed, and those she had run into, vowing to lose weight, were no longer around. Mashauva was left alone on the field.
For a second, Mashauva felt like a lone wolf.
She had an epiphany that not everyone would always walk alongside her on the road to success. She could only rely on herself if she wanted to stay through to the end.
Instead of feeling discouraged, Mashauva was more determined than ever to press on.
During which she had never met Bruno, nor did she agree to hang out when Freddy came to visit her, wholeheartedly focused on losing weight. Half a month later, Mashauva successfully shed more pounds.

Lena and Hailey had thought she wouldn't be able to stick to it and would give up in no time, but to their surprise, she kept it going for over two weeks already. They even started growing envious when they noticed she had become evidently shapelier.
So they approached Frida.
"Frida, you're close with Mashauva. What happened to her? Why is she suddenly so determined to lose weight?"
Frida frowned, not wanting to talk to them as they had gotten hooligans to beat her up in the past. If
Mashauva hadn't sent her to the hospital in time, she might suffer sequela from the injury.
"Yeah, Frida. Wasn't Mashauva a foodie?"
"I don't know." Frida's tone was devoid of emotions, "If you want to know, you can ask her yourself."
"You!" Hailey was instantly infuriated as she couldn't believe Frida dared to use such a rough tone on her.
Lena sneered, "Seems like we didn't teach you a good enough lesson last time. How dare you speak to us like this?"
As soon as Frida raised her head,
Vel.n
Lena grabbed her neck and stood up to press her head against the table. Frida was surprised by their directness. She felt a sharp pain on her cheek and wondered if the tip of a pen had pierced her skin.
For a moment, the pain was rendering her disoriented.
"Let go of me."
"Let you go?" Lena spoke with disdain, "Weren't you so arrogant just now? Go on. Show us how arrogant you are."
Frida struggled, and Lena immediately ordered, "Hailey, hold her down."
Hailey swiftly stepped forward and stretched
Frida's arms behind her back, threatening, "Don't move, or I'll break your arms."
In extreme pain and anxiousness, Frida cried out, "What in the world do you want? Was I wrong? Can't you guys just ask her whatever you want? What does it have to do with me?"
"What does it have to do with you? Aren't you two best friends? Why didn't you say anything when you went to her house using your 'best friend' excuse? How dare you be so arrogant when we just asked you a few questions."
Frida was so anxious that tears started streaming down her cheeks. Her face was in great pain. She wasn't as worried when her wounds were on her body, but if it was on her face this time, would there be a scar?"
"Are you just going to keep quiet? If you don't tell us, we can't guarantee what will happen next."
"Alright, I'll tell you everything. Let go of me. I'll say it!"
Hailey and Leña exchanged glances
but did not release Frida. Lena
patted Frida hard on her cheek, saying, "You sure are a shameless b*tch You keep forgetting who's the boss when we show you mercy. Tell us, and we'll release you. Go on."
Frida gritted her teeth in loathing and explained, "She thought she didn't look good fat, so she decided to lose weight." "What's the reason? There has
to be one."
"That's it."
"Bullsh*t! She's working so hard just to look better? Who do you think we are; fools or three-year-olds?"
Frida's lower lip bled from the biting while her tears fell like beads of a broken string. "I'm telling you the truth! That's what she told me."
