I walked through the corridors cautiously avoiding any eye contact and wishing I could dissapear. But life was never fair. The whispers continued....

*I bet she's secretly dating Lucas*

*Go on, I dare you, ask her out!*

*Shes not that pretty but she's sweet. I'm actually kinda jealous though*

*Doesn't she have any shame, showing all the boys her hair. She probably got so happy being voted 2nd Queen*

*UM HARAM*

I clenched my jaw slightly, irritated and raised an eyebrow.

"What huh? What is your problem with Safiya?"

"She talks too much. You know how she is...." she rolled her eyes expectantly as if waiting for me to agree. This girl was just another popular snob I preferred to stay away from.

"Actually she's the sweetest person I've met and I could listen to her talk alllll day, so don't you worry about my friends. Mine aren't fake after all" I smirked and looked her straight in her eyes until she was unable to hold the eye contact and gave up
