"Never would've suspected such a nice, jovial guy to be capable of such a thing."

I'm a New York City-based Staff Writer who enjoys covering lifestyle, relationships, and women's content.

"He frigging BOOKED it on foot across a dark snow-covered field. I didn't see him again after that. A few weeks later, someone asked, 'Did you hear about [friend]?' I said I hadn't, and they told me he'd been wanted for murder and had been using our dorm to hide from the cops, but they finally caught him. Never would've suspected such a nice, jovial guy to be capable of such a thing."

"He tells us this guy, whom we all included in our group, had his life fall apart because he cheated on his girlfriend, and she told everyone what she knew. It was all over socials and some texts. The truth came out hard and fast. He never, ever had cancer in the first place and just enjoyed the treatment people gave him and the coddling he could get from it. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ No, my husband and I never suspected a thing. Why would we? You don't ask or accuse someone of something like that in passing. But it was like he was a whole different person with a second life, and we just never noticed. It was unsettling and grotesque. Still makes my hair stand up."
