“Yes.” The principal set up the projector, handing over the remote.
Hannah approached the computer, her fingers dancing over the keys with precise, sharp taps.
The computer screen mirrored onto the projector. With a determined expression, Hannah rapidly navigated through various web pages, bringing up chat logs and the forum IP addresses.
Screenshots of group chats popped up, with Sadie’s social media account prominently displayed.
“Get more people to comment on that post. It’s gaining traction. We need to push it even further.”
“As the post gains popularity, capture it and share it widely. Pay some influencers to make this a trending topic. Blow it up as much as we can!”
Various group members acknowledged her messages.
Another screenshot showed Sadie sharing the viral post with her group.
“Push harder. She’s drowning in the negative comments on her account.
I want her to know what it feels like to be publicly shamed.”
Comments from a few other participants followed.
“These netizens are so naive. They’ll buy any story we spin, joining in on the hate.”
“They’re just hopping on the bandwagon. But hey, it’s working in our favor. Feels great using these gullible folks against her!”

The onlookers, viewing the projection, began to buzz with shock and outrage.
“This girl is wicked! Manipulating public sentiment like that?”
“Jumping on hate trends is dumb, but what these girls are doing?
That’s another level of nasty. They deserve consequences!”
“They’re just kids, yet so cruel. They were spreading false, salacious rumors, even saying someone’s been jailed! Absolutely unforgivable.”
“Damn it! People like them shouldn’t be allowed here.”
Hannah hadn’t realized the intensity of the online backlash.
Without missing a beat, she flipped to another screen showing the post’s IP address. It traced back to Room 301 in the girls dormitory.
She fixed her gaze on a flustered Sadie across the room.
“This was you, wasn’t it?”
Upon discovering that Hannah had identified the dormitory’s IP address, Sadie felt a rush of panic, yet she attempted to justify herself.
