Chapter 7: Rumors

The next day I went to school, Mora was absent from class. Apparently, the reason was because she wasn't feeling well. Which is understandable for someone who saw witness a murder right in front of them.

But strange rumors started to spread across the school. One of them was that I made Mora cried after school with someone. Another one is about me dating an old guy. But the most popular rumor was about Angelo being single.

"Hey Sage..." Roy said to me.

"Yeah..." I spoke with a lazy tone.

"Aren't you worried about the rumors?"

"Why should I be worried about something that's not true?"

"I guess you're right." Roy hung his head low.

I sighed. "The only rumor that's true is that Angelo is single."

"How do you know that?"

"Because he told me."

"He told you? When?" Roy said as he stared at me intensely, but I simply ignored it.

"We bumped into each other after school, Angelo was apparently finding something. We chat for a bit and he then told me his girlfriend broke up with him." I explained with my tired voice.

"You're leaving something out." Roy said as he glared down at me.

Nothing goes through you does it? Mr. human lie detector.

"Angelo's ex was cheating on him with Mora." I said unintentionally.

I immediately covered my mouth after saying that before I glared at Roy.

"Mora... is a lesbian?" Roy said with a shock expression.

I grabbed Roy by the collar and pulled him down to my face. "Don't tell anyone! Got it!"

"But why?" Roy asked with a very confused face.

It's understandable why he's surprised. Yes, it's true that I absolutely hate Mora more than anyone else in this entire school. And it's also true that I desperately want to see that B*TCH down on her knees begging for forgiveness.

But how I want that to go is from exposing every misdeed she ever did to me and every victim inside our school. If word goes out that Mora is a lesbian, than all that hard work, all that patience that I build will all crumble.

All because of stupid homophobia!!!

FU*K THAT SH*T! I WILL NEVER LET MORA GET AWAY WITH SUCH MERCY! IF ANYONE IS GOING TO PUNISH THAT WICKED SON OF A B*TCH, IT GOING TO BE ME! AND ME ALONE!

Roy must've understand my intentions because he quickly freed himself from my grip and backed away slowly. "Alright, alright... I won't tell anyone. Happy?"

"Not until I kick that B*TCH off her FU*KING high ass throne." I growled with a ragged voice.

Roy gulped nervously as he said. "Okay... how about we go get something to eat after school, I'll pay."

"No thanks..."

"Why?"

"After what happened yesterday and all the commotion about Mora, I feel like going home early today." I groaned as I rubbed my tired eyes.

I couldn't sleep properly because what happened yesterday. Finding out the angel of our school; Angelo, is a sociopathic killer. The fact his ex cheated him with Mora. And what's makes things even worse, Angelo likes me.

I feel like I'm cursed. Am I curse? It would explain all the BULLSH*T I'm always dragged into. I wish it was all but a dream! A really FU*KED up dream!

"Ah! There you are I've finally found you!" spoke a voice that was far too angelic for it's own good.

Please don't. What did I do wrong? I don't devere this. Was this a punishment by God? Did God deliberately send me a devil to watch over me?

I refuse to turned around, but Roy eyes widen in surprise before he blurted out. "Angelo?"
