21: the culprit

I’m already here standing right in front of our school gate, contemplating if I’m going inside or not just because of that post that I saw in our school’s public page. I feel embarrassed because of that. I’m nervous to face everyone inside the school.

I formed a fist and breathed deeply. I can do this. It’s just a stupid, nonsense issue and it’s fake. I’ll go to school whatever happens.

I started walking towards the gate and went inside. And as I expected, I already found some students staring at me while whispering. It’s making me uncomfortable.

“Hey, you! Walk properly! Stop pretending to be boyish!”

“Right! Your cover has been revealed! You’re a pick-me flirt!”

“You’re such a fake! Pretentious!”

And there’s some students threw some crumpled paper to me. I just glared at them and continued walking.

After I entered the room, I caught the whole class’s attention. But they quickly removed their gaze on me and started whispering. I just went to my seat and sat down.
