"I'm not leaving, you guys are."
"Lho, where are you going?"
"I want to find Rei and ask for an explanation from him!" Lucia turned around and left her two best friends there.
Heru and Gloria just kept quiet and stared at his passing which was getting further away from where they were.
"It must be pretty hard for him if the rumors are true." Gloria breathed a heavy sigh.
"I'm sure the rumors aren't true!" Heru.
...*...
"He's the one, isn't he?"
"Oh, you're right."
"I felt sorry for her, but she was beautiful. His girlfriend is actually handsome, too, but I didn't expect her boyfriend to be like that."
"Do you know the reason why most ugly men are beautiful women?"
"I don't know why?"
"That's because his partner's handsome guy is also a handsome guy, hahaha."
Lucia was speechless with both hands clenched as the conversation of the people around the corridor was heard very clearly.
He tried to hold back his anger. He desperately wanted to silence the mouths of all those who gossiped, but he had to focus on finding Rei first and ask him for an explanation about the rumors circulating about him.
Lucia continued walking until she finally arrived at the back yard of the school. He stopped his steps when he finally found Rei there.
The deg!
Lucia was petrified on the spot as she looked at Rei who was with a man. I don't know what they're doing, but from the gesture he saw.
Rei was like pulling the collar of the man's shirt to make him tiptoe. The two hands of the man tried to push Rei's body.
One thing Lucia had imagined at that moment, Rei was kissing her.
"Rei?!" call him with a loud, stifled voice.
Rei turned his focus to her. Gets along with the guy who turns out to be Fandy.
Rei let go of his grip, turning around at the same time as Fandy who was now looking at Lusia with a look of surprise.
Lucia's heart rumbled. His emotions jumbled to see what they had just done.
Lucia walked quickly to the man who became her lover and ex.
"L... Lusia?" Fandy stammered, his face turning pale at the arrival of the girl.
...*...
Heru and Gloria had only been able to swerve at the table of her bunch of annoying upperclassmen. They had not stopped gossiping about the article that appeared on the school forum that discussed Rei.
They laughed so hard that everyone stared at him.
Gloria gripped the glass in her grip tightly. It felt like he wanted to throw the glass at all of them so they would shut up and stop talking about his best friend's girlfriend.
"I'm really upset with them" Gloria grumbled.
"Yes. Me too" said Heru beside him.
They stared intently at the table sat by a group of strange men.
Brakk!
Suddenly the table of a group of men was violently broken by a long-haired woman standing before them.
The girl's face looked annoyed. The people sitting at the table spontaneously looked up at him who had just arrived.
"Definitely you guys, right?!" The girl stared intently at everyone there.
"What do you mean?" One of the people stood looking at the girl with a flat face.
The girl was none other than Miranda, the girl who was a neighbor's child who had been very close to Rei since they were children.
"You spread rumors!"
