'If anything our relationship got better towards the second semester.'

The arts major, originally from London, is now seeking $51,000 in damages in a lawsuit.

Items allegedly stolen by Fung include exclusive pieces from renowned brands such as Gucci, Chanel, and Bvlgari.

The items, according to Agapov, have sentimental value and were gifted to her by her mother.

'I didn't sleep that night,' she said.

'My mother gifted me those things. They mean a lot to me.'

Agapov realized the extent of the theft in May when she described her shock upon finding a receipt from The Real Real listing her missing items in Fung's possession, according to the suit.

She claims that Fung sold these items online through consignment retailer The Real Real, significantly undervaluing them in the process.

Further valuable items, including an 18K ruby ring and several designer handbags, were listed for sale but remained unsold when the theft was discovered

Further valuable items, including a Solange Azagury 18K ruby ring valued at $23,765 and several designer handbags, including a Celine Nanno tote worth $3,300; and a Chanel purse worth $4,00. Those were listed for sale but remained unsold when the theft was discovered.

Agapov immediately confronted Fung and eventually relocated from their dormitory at NYU's Founders Hall on East 12th Street.

She recounted her attempt to recover her belongings from The Real Real's physical store, only to learn that Fung's mother had already retrieved them.

Andre Agapov, Agapov's father, is president and CEO and the largest individual shareholder of Rusoro Mining Limited, a gold mining company, headquartered in Vancouver, Canada.
