" Have you heard?"

"She's back!"

"Who?"

"SHE!"

"She's back?!"

"Really?"

"OMG!"

" False Alarm people! Hazel's not back till tomorrow " Kestral shouted across the grinning faces scattered around the halls but it came out more of as a whisper coming from Kestral's petite form

"Have you heard?"

"My my how unfortunate"

"How does she look?"

"Is she okay?"

"She's back!"Someone sang joyfully

"FALSE ALARM! HAZEL'S NOT BACK UNTIL TOMORROW!" Scarlet shouted loudly, shooting glares across tiny freshmans

Immediately , the halls were filled with dusgruntled faces and distant murmurings

"Who was the idiot who told you again ?"

"er....Lance?"

"No way!"

"Isn't he the guy in the chess club?"

"No No No No that guy is Zane ! 'Lance' the boyfriend of Hazel remember?"

"Oh yeah ! "

"SHH! his coming this way , quick act like...like...like we're not talking bout him " some blonde said loudly

Sure enough , Lance Rifford entered the school halls and immediately the excited buzz of the gossiping crowd was silenced as everyone watched him cross the halls in fast strides.

Today , his curly brown hair was a mess as in unattractive jumble of well hair! , There were dark bags under his eyes and his bright eyes reflected nothing but tiredness. His face was puffy and pale like he'd been hitting himself. His confident stride was replaced with a curve slouch.

His friend , Michael , waved at him  " Dude!"

Lance turned his head and forced a weak smile . "Hey, Had a rough night man  "

Even his smiles which were always full of happiness was in a terrrible state.

As he past by whispers followed him

"Did you see him?"

"What happened?"
