Shatter (arlo x OC) UnOrdinary fanfic

chapter 23

Leah's pov

Thankfully, the bell rang.

So the hallways are empty as I mindlessly walk around; replaying everything that's happened today.

Let's recap shall we?

I'm officially the biggest slut in school.

Apparently, I rejected Zeke because I'm a power hungry bitch who seduces guys for power.

And according to rumors, I've fucked both Isen and Arlo.

I can't help but let out an exhausted scoff.

Why's everyone so dead set on screwing up my life.

Just what have I ever done to anyone.

Where did it all go wrong

When I was assigned to work on the project with the Isen, Blyke, and Remi?

When I rejected Zeke?

When I let my guard down and became too comfortable with Isen?

When I deluded myself into thinking someone like me could get close with Arlo?

Are these reasons really something horrible enough to warrant the entire school hating me?

How the hell is that fair?

I feel stray tears wetting my cheeks.

idiot.
I said I wouldn't cry anymore.

It's not like I did anything wrong.
None of this is my fault.

I barely see what's in front of me due to the blurriness.

Why do I always end up crying?
How stupid.

"Leah."

...Ah.

That's Arlo.

I stop my steps but don't turn around.
He takes a few steps closer.

Why is he always everywhere?

I can't bring myself to turn around and face him.
I don't know why. It's not like either of us did anything wrong. But I just don't want to see his face right now.

He speaks from behind me.

"I heard about the rumors going around."

how could you not, I'm the main topic of every conversation.

"It's honestly ridiculous."

His tone.

A small, bitter smile forms from how often I've heard that tone.

He knows he's above all the rumors.
He couldn't care less.

"It'll all blow over by next week.

Of course.

"It's not a big deal so don't worry about it."
