Is it??
DAVIS’S POV
As I went out of class, after confronting Selene I headed out to the restroom to clear my head. Everything that was going on was making my head hurt, and I felt ill. I stared at my reflection on the mirror, tears welled up my eyes. ” What would I do?” I questioned myself. This rumor going on about the teacher had I was going to affect my reputation at the school in no small way and I couldn’t afford that.
” How could it be that all of these lies were going on about me at school.” I wondered, I was sure Selene had to have a hand in it. It had to be her because I had seen her plot with Xavier. They were close, but today they were unusually up to something and I wondered what it was until now.
” It’s going to be fine.” Jason who was my buddy at school said he had followed me when I left the class and he was here trying to reassure me everything was going to be fine.” Another story would come out and all of this would be gone.” He added and I turned to face him.
” Selene has to pay for this!!!” I said as I glared at Jason “Yes she would, but we dnt know for sure she did this.” Jason replied showing his doubt about Selene being the culprit.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
” I know she did this.” I muttered again and Jason just stared at me blankly before responding. ” I would find out who did this and I assure you they would pay.” He added and motioned for us to head back to class. I sighed deeply and walked with him back to class.
As we walked down the hallway, I thought about how I found out about the rumours. I was chatting in the playground with Jason when I noticed some students mumbling and pointing towards me. I wasn’t sure what it was and ignored it.
When the bell rang and it was time to return to class, we headed back to class from the playground. Recess was over and even though it was going to be a free period, We had to be in class
As we walked along I noticed some students gathering around, muttering and giggling excitedly. As we walked towards it I wondered what it was. I got closer and I met the shock of my life.
” Davis is in love with the class teacher.” As I read the inscription posted on the wall, I was shocked to my bones and my heart skipped.
” The class teacher!!!” I mumbled, “Who could have said that?” I questioned myself as i stared at the wall. I never liked the class teacher not more loving her. Jason who stood beside me seemed as confused as I was and did not say anything.
I watched the students laughed and giggled as they read it and soon a teacher came around. ” You all should head to your classes” she mouthed as she walked to the wall and tore the inscription but everyone is school had already heard.
I was restless but I wasn’t sure about what to do about all of these stories. The teacher had chased everyone but many of the students were still walking to their classes. As I headed to class, I wondered what to do about the situation and decided to confront Selene. Still lost in my thoughts as I walked to the class, the laughter from my peers caught my attention.
“How can he love his teacher….. he is a weirdo!!! A group of students said as they past me and tears welled up my eyes as I heard them. The hurtful words echoed through the hallway, the pain in my heart felt unbearable.. I was sure I didn’t like my teacher. I liked Jade. I was particularly worried about how my supposed girlfriend was going to feel about all of this.
I clenched my fists, feeling a mix of anger and helplessness. How could they mock me like this? Why couldn’t they just understand? My mind raced with plans for revenge, but deep down I knew that falling to their level would solve nothing. Instead, I took a deep breath and told myself that I was stronger than what they said. As I was lost in my thoughts, I noticed Vala coming up to me. I knew she needed an explanation of some sort since she was my girlfriend.
” You!!! So I was simply a piece of garbage to you.” Vala approached me, pointing accusatorily at me. “Vala, listen!!!” I replied trying to explain that all the rumours were not true and as she approached me, she smacked me.
” What did you do that for?” I questioned her with my hands on my cheeks. I stepped up to her, raised my fists in retaliation, but stopped as Jason grabbed my hands.”You should calm down, Davis.” as he spoke, I lowered my hand. Vala had already turned her face when she saw me lift my hand. “Do not you dare, and everything we ever had is gone.” I said as I walked away.
My head throbbed with a piercing ache as I walked out of Vala. The rumors that were spreading about me at school seemed never-ending. How could such malicious lies exist? She didn’t even what to let me explain before slapping me.
I decided to rise above the negativity and prove them wrong. They may have believed that their comments might shatter me, but they had no idea that their insults would fire my drive. I brushed away my tears, straightened my back, and confronted the issues head on.
I sought solace in the sanctuary of my own mind, reminding myself that their words did not define me.” But was that even true?” I muttered, I was the most popular kid in school and with all of this, I wasn’t so sure my image at the school was guaranteed.
As soon as we got back to class, our teacher was in and we walked to our seats. I saw Selene and Xavier again, and I could not be more enraged, I groaned and took my seat.
” We have a new student here today.” The class teacher said and everyone turned to see who it was. As she walked in, I noticed a familiar face and when she faced us I couldn’t contain my joy.
” Is it… ” I mumbled as I saw her, she looked even prettier than the last time.
