38 Chapter 37: High School All Over Again

I settled down my stuff on the other side while Alex took the other side of the room. I took the other side. He used to tape to separate the room which I agreed to. At least I can stay away from him in a bit.

I look at the time to have my heart drop. My next class is about to start! Damn it! I have to run quickly! I grabbed my things and headed out running. I ran from hallway to hallway the school was like a damn maze. This is why I always like to explore first the rooms so I can be aware of the university!

But lady luck was on my side. I entered the university lecture hall. As I entered many people were talking not noticing my existence. That's a blessing actually I don't even have the energy to deal with people right now.

I remained silent and covered my face a lot. I never really wanted to talk to anyone.

"Hello, Ms. Manzona. You are a newcomer to my class, right? Please head over here and introduce yourself." The teacher called me in front.

Of course... The time I don't want to be seen and noticed I'd have to introduce myself to these people.

Everyone looked at me either they were confused about who I was and some looked at me disgusted. Either way, none are good looks.

"Hello, My name is Lisa Manzona. I transferred here I hope you treat me well." I bowed down smiling.

Immediately I can sense the people whispering and looking at me disgusted.

"Alright then please go back to your seat." The teacher signaled me to go sit down. I'm sitting at the back I'm not gonna have them talk to me.

"Why is that slutty boyfriend stealing hoe here?" The girl whispered to another.

"I know right I feel like she still wants more what a fucking slut." They all whispered into one another.

I try to ignore it. I'm not gonna waste my brainpower. Dealing with them is just a waste of my time.

"Alright, then I'll be going to the restroom for a bit. You may take a 5-minute break." The teacher leaves.

"Where are you from Lisa?" A girl asked me.

"Oh, I'm just from around here," I reply faking a smile.

"Ya. Cause that bitch has been going around. My friend said she's been asking where the dorm rooms were so she can fuck with the frat boys." The girl shouted.

"I can't believe you even have the nerve to go here. Ever heard of taking a fucking hint you slut?" A girl glared at me.

I stand up. "Listen. I'm not gonna waste the brainpower I have left arguing with you but you don't even know me. You bitches have no idea how I am and how I act and the fact that you believe stupid lies like that is honestly stupid."

"Oh, she's actually fighting back? I can't believe this girl is acting innocent. We all know that you're just a backdoor slut. We have a picture of you having with guys." A girl pointed out showing a picture from her phone.

What... that's the picture from when I walked out of my house from a slumber party. How did they get the picture...

"That's just a slumber party I had with my friends!" I shout.

"Right... so what'd you guys do? Study the Bible or something?" A girl says sarcastically

"And there's like 3 guys there. Legit she's such a fucking slut." One of the girls looked at me disgusted at me.

At this point, everyone in the lecture room looked at me with disgust.

"Those things being said about me isn't true. I'm not a slut, I'm literally a shut-in and I don't even like being around people that much so can you just leave me alone." I say sternly.

"You know how it's so funny how you get so much money being a hoe from your sugar daddy. I work a full-time job of 9 to 5 and you're here being a floozy and you get more money than I do. That's so unfair." Another one from the crowd complains.

"I don't have a sugar daddy! That's not true." I yell out.

"How come someone saw you go in a limousine and eat dinner with a rich guy." A girl shows a picture of being going into Charles's limousine. This is from when we ate escargot... how did they get a hold of that...

"That's from my friend! We ate in a fancy restaurant! He isn't my sugar daddy you lying little bitches also how did you get those pictures. Don't you know that's called spying!" I grew angrier.

Everyone ignored my anger and nodded in agreement that they don't buy my reason. It's the truth but they believe the lies being said about me... What am I gonna do... How

"Alright, class I am back. Let's continue our lesson shall we!" The teacher came back and started writing on the board.

I... just wanted to get out of that lecture hall. I'm just left there hurt and embarrassed how can the person that started these rumors have pictures of me... Doesn't that mean they were stalking my every move? How were they able to get pictures of me and make stories out of it...

I shake as cold sweat starts to drip down my face. I shake and look around seeing everyone's judgemental gazes to me, looking at me like I was an animal... It was just like what happened to highschool... Everyone looked at me like I was the outcast and I was unwanted... I hate being here...

"Alright then thank you for attending class! Class dismissed." I hear the teacher saying goodbye to everyone.

FINALLY, I CAN GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE. I stand up and try to hide my face as much as possible just to get out of this hell hole I don't want to stay here longer.

"Someone told us that they saw her in pornhub, she sleeps with so many people." I hear a guy whisper to the others.

I ignored and shrugged it off.

"Isn't that the girl that has those sugar daddies? I wish I had a sugar daddy... while we all work hard for our money she just seduces a rich man and then she gets money what a gold digger." I hear another whisper from another group of people.

I ran faster and faster, I never looked back. Every corner is just a cloud of negativity... I was about to have a breakdown until.

"Hello. Are you Ms. Manzona?" I hear the voice of a guy in front of me.

I stare at him, he was rather formal and quite dapper looking. He looks like a high ranking official..

"Yes... I am." I say timidly hiding my face.

He looked at me with a poker face. Raising his eyebrow at me. I took a deep breath and then he smiled. He laughed out loud.

"Hello! I am Alister. I am part of the student council and I heard you were a new student along with Alex Patterson. Since according to your schedule this is your last class today I'll give you a tour of our university so you can be aware of the school." Alister smiled offered me his hand to shake it.

I shake his hands and I smiled as well. "Hello there."

"Alright then follow me and we'll start the tour." Alister grabbed my hand and grabbed me away from the negativity.

I can't help but remember what happened back then. During high school, I was an outcast and nobody wanted to be around me but I remember a similar feeling when someone grabbed my hand and pulled me away from the negativity..

It was Rose that pulled me from the negativity and remained my friend and stayed behind me all these times...

I guess Alister is going to be the one that's going to that for me. It fills my stomach with butterflies.

"Let's go on ahead and go to the cafe. It's over-" I interrupt him from talking.

"Can we not go to really crowded places? I don't really want to be seen." I say timidly...

"Huh? Why Ms. Manzona? Pretty sure you'll do fine in socializing." He reassures me.

Doesn't he know about the rumors floating around... I guess he doesn't know...

"It's that... there are rumors floating around about me. It's about me doing indecent things and it seems like it has grown erratic. It's just been the first day and people already hate me. So I don't want anyone to see me." I say to him.

He goes back to his poker face and then smiled. "If you're really confident that you didn't do those things you wouldn't mind them right? Here. Come on." He winks at me and grabs my hand.

"I'll be right here with you every time I'll defend you from them got it?" He makes a reassuring smile which boosted my confidence...

Could he be... my shining armor?
