Vanessa makes your mind up for you.

You crowd on to the elevator, making sure to leave enough room for Hye Jin who slides on behind you, though she doesn't need much room. Seeing the lobby is already selected, you pull out your phone. You need the distraction from the mindless conversation between Karen and Vanessa.

"Did you hear what Jared did last night at Sigma Chi? I literally CAN NOT with him! Did he really think that I was going to be ok with him hitting on Abby?"

"Vanessa, maybe we shouldn't talk about this here?"

"No! I don't care who hears it! He is such an ass! I've been trying to get after him for literally weeks and he just ignores me! And Abby. That bitch! How dare she take what's mine!"

Jesus she is so up her own ass, you think to yourself, feeling the rage grow.

"And do you remember that dweeb, Brian from my intro to Pscyh class? HE asked ME to his nerdy Model UN formal! HAHA. I've maybe said two words to him all semester. I was only nice to him to get him to do my homework. What the fuck even is a Model UN?"

Your rage rushes forward, "Hey Vanessa, why don't you shut the fuck up? You think you're such hot shit, but you're nothing other than another basic bitch who everyone hates, but you don't realize it because your head is so stuck up your ass!"

The silence that follows your outburst is deafening. Hye Jin is looking straight at the ground. The guy you don't know in the corner is just staring at the floor numbers counting down. Vanessa is staring straight at you, her eyebrows raised in a look of contempt.

"Who the fuck are you?" she says.

Karen bumps her elbow into Vanessa's side and whispers something in her ear. Whatever she said, Vanessa's face transforms from a look of disdain to one of sympathy.

"Oh my god. You're John Doe aren't you! I'm SOOOO sorry! Is there anything I can do for you? I know I'm like the hottest Asian on campus so I could totally help you out!"

She flashes one of those perfect (but fake) smiles that you know she probably puts on for ever selfie she ever takes. But for once you think this might actually be genuine.

Just as you're about to respond, the elevator dings and the door opens to the lobby.
