“For the first time in my life, I finished my homework! Geez, I’m so happy. Is this how are other people feel when they have done all of their homework?” Emma scream as she really proud of herself because never in her life, she finished the homework that given by the teacher.
“No, it’s probably just you.” Aiden sticking his tongue out to Emma.
“Please don’t be like that. You should proud that this friend of yours just did something amazing. It’s all thanks to Mabel. Study with her was really no futile!”
“Wow, she looks very happy.” Marcus smiled. He will always be supportive if his friends change for the better.
Rohan nodded his head.
“So, Aiden.. I am pretty sure that Mabel tutored you. Did you gain anything?” Marcus turned his head to Aiden who has a bored expression in his face. He deliberately asked even though he already knew the answer.
“You kidding me? I just want to admire Mabel's cute face so I pretend to study with her when I actually don’t understand a single thing. Still, she looks pretty even she was a nerd and I’m glad I come.”
“As expected.”
“Wow Aiden, these days you have become too attached to Mabel, right? Did you realize that?” Emma sound out.
“Hm? I don’t really notice that.”
“Marcus, where’s Marcos?” Sophia suddenly asked. It's weird when Marcos, who always together with them was not here.
“I don’t know but I guess will come later, so don’t worry.” A simple answer from Marcus.
“Hey! Hey! Gang!”
“Speak of the devil.” Marcus spoke as he looked at the door class.
“What’s wrong with him?” Emma asked when he looked at Marcos’s messy appearance.
“He probably runs around the school. Either he makes someone mad or he wants to practice since he is an athlete.” Marcus guessed.
“You mean, he practiced on hallway?”
“Who knows?” Marcus shrugged his both shoulders.
Marcos, who comes out of nowhere running to get close to his friends with an anxious expression on his face. He then asks something while panting, “Have-have you guys heard anything?”
All of them looked at each other. They have been in the class so there is no way they will know anything and it’s not like they mixed with anyone else in this class.
"Can you calm down first?" Sophia whined.
“No? Heard about what?” Emma asked in curiosity.
“Look at your phone, in the class group chat.”
They did what Marcos told them without much question. After looking at their own phone, all the eyes gathered to Aiden while Aiden just stares blankly at his phone. This again, huh?
Issues that happened 5 years ago have been spread over again.
Suddenly the class that was silence a moment ago, start being noisy. All eyes darted to Aiden as they mouth did not stop whispering and gossiping about the rumours. Everyone just fully believes what is written about Aiden.
The fact that Aiden was a playboy, everyone had already known that. But never did they know that Aiden is a molester.
“Pfft, HAHAHA. So you are this kind of person? You are just a scumbag who break every girls heart after molested them? Wow, pretty face sure has it hard huh.” A guy in 5D Round class starts making a fuss. His face clearly enjoying mocking Aiden. Who doesn’t want to take a chance to against famous and rich person?
“How about you shut your damn mouth? You don’t even know anything.” Sophia can not sit there quietly while watching her friend getting accuse by something he didn’t do. Aiden was with them all the time, so when the hell he gets the time to molested others?
“Huh! Rumours won't start if he really doesn’t do it.” That guy still doesn't want to lose.
“How about someone like you get off from this class? We afraid that girls in our class will be your next victim.” Another guy complained.
“Like I told you, you never know if he has really done it! You guys are the worst, you guys decide to believe wholeheartedly in rumours without trying to look for the truth.” It's Emma's turn to rage. She hates people like this. It doesn’t matter if this happens to her friend or not but she really hates the attitude of people who like to believe completely about rumours. Aren’t they all just proving themselves stupid?
"Oh my, looked at that, guys. Their mom has become mad. Uuuu, so afraid. You know mom, you should be careful too, otherwise you too, gonna be the victim of your son. Then, Emma, how about you become our mom instead? It's no good to stay with people like them. We just totally care for you that’s why we warn you beforehand." That first guy continuing to mock them.
“The hell is wrong with you? I bet you all have a mental disorder.” Marcos seems calm, but inside his heart, he was irritable right now. Who wouldn't get annoyed if people treat his friends like that?
“Hey, Aiden. Do you happen to know anyone who hold grudges against you?” Rohan, of all people, asked Aiden with a soft voice. To him, he also felt very resentful with the attitude of his current classmates but he chose not to vent his anger on his classmates. They are all stupid, no matter how his friends try to talk with them, they gonna keep acting like that anyway.
Acting like a dog, which it keeps barking non-stop. That's what Rohan thought.
The seldom -spoken Rohan is now speaking. He overly concerned about Aiden now.
Aiden stays quiet while thinking. He don’t really know what to feel right now. If it 6 years ago, he will get anxious and become overly worried, but since he has grown up and have been through this experience, he decides to be calm. After all, getting anxious will be his only weakness.
The moment he starts to shriek away, that will be the time people will take advantage to bring him down.
After he realize there were someone who actually will do this, Aiden quickly stands up and leave the class.
Marcus ruffled his hair. He then looked at his classmates with red eyes, holding back his anger. “If I heard any of you talked shit about Aiden again, I will never let you go.”
A death warning come from Marcus make everyone suddenly quiet, especially the two guys that mocked Aiden earlier. They all shivering with Marcus’s word because they know Marcus will actually do it.
