Chapter 29: Gossip Girls

I stand outside of the Golden Crown University with my uniform I tied my hair to make it seem shorter and dressed up as a boy like I always do. I showed my I.D to the card which happily accepted it and opened the gate for me.

I looked around to see that a lot of the guys are not in the courtyard like they normally do. I guess it's a weekend so they all decided to go out and drink.

My phone rings to see a message from Dean, asking me if I was on campus.

I replied to him saying I was and if he wanted to talk to me we'll meet at the nurse's office.

He texted me back saying he is on the way so I sprinted to the nurse's office.

Now that I think about it. It's been such a long time I've seen Nina, I'm pretty sure she's a bit busy that's why we haven't seen each other for such a long time.

I open the door to see Nina and Dean inside. I wave to both of them, exchanging smiles and greetings as I sit down in the chair, Nina brings closer to me.

"You know... you could have told me that I was gonna move into a new university for a bit in person instead of a text message." I squint my eyes at Dean, raising an eyebrow.

"Ya. You should have told her in person." Nina joins in, making both of us laugh.

"Sorry miss. Honestly, we plan on saying it to you on Monday but I feel like that would surprise you so I decided to say it to you unofficially in a text." Dean responds.

"Anyways! Lisa! It's been so long... you haven't stopped by in a while in my office ever since we had a girl's night out." She hugged me tightly.

"Wait? You had a girl's night out with Lisa?" Dean asks confused.

"Yup! We had a girl's night out in that new cafe. Since somebody here didn't want to go with me." Nina fake clears her throat.

"It's because someone is busy doing something for the university. Those frat boys have been causing trouble again." Dean rolls his eyes.

"Ugh fine, You're forgiven but next time we're going alright!" Nina jumps into Dean surprising him and me.

"HEY GET OFF... YOU'RE HEAVY." Dean drops Nina making her face pout. "You're such a meanie Dean!"

"Ehem." I clear my throat disturbing both of them.

"Oh right. You will be moved into a CO-Ed University for a few weeks or a month at most but don't worry the classes you will be taking there will be general courses since you are in 1st year."

"But why move me to a different university all of a sudden?" I ask Dean.

"It's confidential sorry, I'm actually not sure as well. Chancellor just told me to tell you." Dean explains to me.

He looks at the time. "Anyways I have a seminar in the division office to attend to. Please enjoy your weekend."

Dean starts to walk out but Nina grabs his arm. "Hey, where's my goodbye kiss?" She asks him smiling.

"I prefer keeping it professional at work." Dean shakes off her arm and leaves. "YOU MEANIE! IMA STEAL YOUR COOKIES WHEN YOU GET HOME!"

What is up with this girl...

"Anyways Lisa... I don't really wanna spoil the moment and stuff since you just arrived but."

We hear the door open and Matthew was there. "Hey! Lisa! I missed you." He comes over to hug me.

"We saw each other last night Matthew." I giggled a little hugging him back.

"Oh hello Matthew, by the way..." Nina cuts our cheery greeting into a more serious environment.

"You see.. I'm not sure what happened but you must have angered someone..." Nina says in a concerned voice.

"Huh? What do you mean?" I ask her confused.

"I came to the university you will be transferred to for a seminar however I've been hearing nasty rumors about you."

"What... why?" I look confused... Rumours... why would somebody do that to me...

"I'm not sure Lisa, but they said. You were getting around and you had at least 10 boyfriends already and you were a hussy..."

"Why would they spread lies about Lisa. She isn't like that!" Matthew joins in the conversation.

"I don't know but I'm pretty sure.. you must have angered a gossip girl."

"I hate gossip. Not only it is a waste of one's time. It's nothing but abusive and damaging to the person being talked about." Matthew looks annoyed at the situation.

"So Lisa... Do you know... anyone that might have done this? I'm pretty sure it's from their university since no one talks about it here." Nina comforts me.

I... I start to tear up.. "I.. I.. didn't really do... anything... I don't know why... somebody would do this to me."

Nina and Matthew hugged me as I start to cry, bawling my eyes out... Who could have done this... I've never really angered anyone...

"Lisa. What if it's her?" Matthew moves away from the hug saying something in an unsure tone.

"What? Who?" Nina looks at both of us confused...

Hold on... could it be... her?
