Chapter Forty-two: I've always wanted a snot collection

I hadn't seen him all day. My guess was that he was so embarrassed that he couldn't face me after what he did.

You didn't want to come to school either.

Are we pointing fingers now?

Just saying.

We were seated in the cafeteria and I was focused on picking my food. Wren and Zane weren't there so it was just my friends with Jordan and Axel. Jordan was busy talking to Leyla, but Axel kept glancing at me. I tried my hardest to ignore it, but he was opposite me so it was getting kind of difficult. I was about to demand for a reason, but he ended up handing me one without question.

"I heard what happened."

And that sentence silenced my whole table. Kai stopped trying to feed Zahra cucumbers knowing she hates them. Jordan stopped his shameless flirting with Leyla. I couldn't even hear Xander munching loudly on his food anymore. Just silence.

I was about to beat around the bush by asking what exactly he was talking about, but Xander went straight to the point. "And how is that?"

"I think everyone's heard it."

Kai's brows creased. "What do you mean?"

He didn't get to reply because of the giggling from behind me. I didn't bother turning around to see who it was- because I already knew- and I didn't need to either. Skyler plopped down in between Xander and I and Anastasia, on the other side.

I am so grateful that I haven't run into them in the house this past few weeks. Sad thing that my school doesn't give me the same advantages.

I didn't have the energy to deal with them- or anyone for that matter- right now, so I just pretended I didn't see them. They went along with what they were saying.

"Have you guys heard the news?"

"What news?" Zahra asked.

Anastasia did some things on the iPad she was holding then turned it to the guys on the opposite side of table to see. They seemed to all be reading what was written there. I wanted to see so badly, but I tried my best to seem uninterested. When they were done, I caught their pitiful glances at me. It didn't sit well. Xander seemed to notice it to because he snatched the tablet from Anastasia. I watched as his eyes scanned through the words and color drained from his face.

Skyler snatched it from him with a sickly smile on her face and handed it to me. I grabbed it eager to see what it read. Everyone was silent as I began reading. The first thing that caught my eye was the headlines.

PATHETIC YOUNG GIRL THINKS SHE CAN COMPETE WITH RISING CELEBRITY, SERENA DAVIS FOR THE HEART OF THE BILLIONAIRE'S SON, ZANE RIVERS
-Reporter CeCe Ryder
I was asked to do a review on Serena Davis due to her upcoming status as a model for very famous designers. I met up with her in Spain and she agreed to give me an exclusive review of where she came from and what she did to achieve this success in the world of fashion. I came back to America just for this purpose. I had just finished an interview with her at her condominium on Friday night when I decided to stop at a cafe nearby before heading to my hotel. On getting out, I heard noise coming from the entrance of the condominium. I walked over there to see what all the commotion was about. There was this young girl dressed in very plain clothes going by the name of 'Cherry' from what I could get from Zane Rivers shouting her name. If you haven't heard of the name 'Zane Rivers', he is the son of the well-known founder and owner of Z-Tech Industries, Zion Rivers. So as you can see Zane Rivers is a billionaire's son and no match for this awfully plain girl. And everyone seemed to know this but her.
The girl was in tears as she ran out of the building with Zane hot on her trail. From what I had gotten from their conversation, she claimed that he had cheated on her with model, Serena Davis..........It was clear he was looking for a way to put himself out of his misery and end his relationship with this pathetic girl..........Does this drab really think she can compete with our queen?...........She is no match for billionaire, Zane Rivers.............This girl should step aside for Serena Davis to claim her man and go find someone who is in her standards..............Serena Davis and Zane Rivers, friends from the beginning, have now become lovers. The perfect couple is brewing in our mists.
