After entering college, I ignored the school rules.
Gradually, I found that no one in the dormitory remembered me anymore.
I screamed loudly in front of them, but they couldn't hear me;
I danced wildly in front of them, but they couldn't see me.
I hurriedly flipped through the group photos we had taken together in our dorm, wanting to prove my existence to them,
But I accidentally discovered that there were two people I didn't recognize standing next to me in the photos...
My name is Rachel Lane, and I'm a sophomore in college.
With my poor grades, I got into this low-ranking university. After arriving, I felt bored every day.
At first, I could obediently follow the school rules and attend classes seriously.
Later, I found it meaningless, so I skipped classes every day to sleep and play games in the dorm.
That's how I made it to sophomore year.
One day, I got down from my bed to go to the cafeteria for food and found my roommates were all downstairs.
I asked if they had eaten, but strangely, no one answered me.
I walked away awkwardly.
When I came back, I realized I had forgotten my key.
So I knocked on the door, hoping my roommate would open it for me.
After a while, the door opened. It was Samantha, the head of our dorm. I thanked her.
But she seemed not to see me and said to the other two in the dorm, "How strange, someone knocked but there's no one here."
I thought they were playing a game with me, so I went along with it and said, "Yeah, because I'm a ghost!" Still, no one responded to me.
I felt weird and said, "Have you had enough? I admit your acting is very good. Hey!"
I raised my voice and shouted at them.
Next, I made faces and jumped around in front of them, but they still ignored me.
"I suddenly realized that I haven't seen Rachel all day," one of them said.
"Maybe she's sleeping up there again. She played games all night last night!"
"But she can't skip meals. I'll go call her!" Samantha called out to my bed.
I climbed up to my bed, thinking that if they couldn't see me when I actively moved around in front of them, maybe they could see me if they actively came to find me.
Samantha pulled open my bed curtain and saw me looking expectant. She couldn't help but smile.
"Get up, it's time to eat!"
Thank God, they could finally see me. I couldn't help but hug Samantha, forgiving them for their earlier game.
But gradually, I found that no one in the dormitory remembered me anymore.
I screamed loudly in front of them, but they couldn't hear me;
I danced wildly in front of them, but they couldn't see me.
I confirmed that they weren't acting, but really couldn't see me.
Only when they actively wanted to find me could they see me.
But slowly, even when they wanted to find me, they could barely remember my name...
I hurriedly flipped through the group photos we had taken together in our dorm, wanting to prove my existence to them.
