When I walked through the hallways I noticed how everyone had weird looks.
I tried to brush it off and instead went to deposit some of my books in my locker.
"I warned you, didn't I?" I jumped a foot in the air clutching my chest and looked at the culprit. Marlene.
"Tsk tsk...poor you." at this she jutted out her bottom lip. "See if you had listened to me like a good girl that you claim you are none of this would've happened. But no. You just had to be so stubborn." She cackled before leaving, her heels clicking on the floor.
During all the periods before lunch, I kept on hearing snippets of conversation and they all revolved around "Owen and Lyra's fling". I felt disgusted at some of the rumours I'd heard.
"Hey." I looked up at the familiar face of Dustin.
"Hey." I gave him a tight smile.
It was lunch time and I had decided to seat outside by the benches, not in the mood to listen to any of the rumours.
"Is this seat taken?"
I shook my head, "no."
