1989's POV
"My hair looks so bad" Red said, looking at herself in the mirror in school restroom. Today was an exceptionally rainy and gloomy day, which is why Red's hair, which is naturally curly and she straightens it every day, started to get slightly frizzy.
"It's not that bad, pin them up" I suggested, Red's face still twisted in a grimace.
"I think I'll cancel my date with Eve today" she stated, taking a hairbrush out of her purse and trying to pull her hair into a ponytail.
"Don't say it, you look beautiful" I assured her and a smile appeared on her face.
"You think so?" the confidence returned to her the moment she put on lipstick. I smiled convincingly and her eyes lit up. "Thank you so much" she threw herself around my neck.
"Go to that English class or you'll be late" I patted her on the back. She pulled away from me and smiled broadly.
"See you later" Red said as we separated in the hallway. I waved at her and headed toward my French class. TTPD was sitting in her seat looking through her notes.
"Hi!" I greeted her.
"Hello" TTPD's voice was filled with joy and her eyes literally sparkled.
"Someone's in a good mood today" I sat down and TTPD just smiled sweetly.
The lesson started, as always Midnights wasn't there yet, of course she was going to be late. I have no idea what's going on with her lately. I bit my lip.
About 20 minutes passed and finally Midnights appeared. Everyone turned their eyes towards her. She was wearing a black skirt and a perfectly tailored blouse. Her blonde hair was a little bit messy and slightly curly at the ends. As usual, she walked confidently into the classroom. The teacher didn't even want to interrupt the lesson to reprimand her for being so late.
"Hey" I said trying not to smile too much as she sat down next to me.
"Hi" she replied, looking at me with her dark blue eyes. I felt as if time had stopped for a moment. However, she quickly broke eye contact. Oh.
The whole lesson we were both completely silent. It was worse than anything. I don't understand why she's acting like this. The same moment the doorbell rang Midnights quickly hurried to leave classroom. I literally followed her out, and when she was about to disappear around the corner of the hallway, I grabbed her wrist.
"Can I help you?" Mid turned to me. She was wearing knee high boots on heel so she was even taller than me than usual.
"What's wrong?" I asked, loosening my grip on her wrist a little but still not letting go.
"Nothing?" she asked more than answered raising an eyebrow. No nothing, definitely not nothing.
"I see something is going on, you are not yourself" a few people who passed the hallway looked at us inquisitively, some even slowed down to eavesdrop on our conversation.
"I'm fine, I don't know what you even mean"
"You look tired, I'm worried"
"Well thanks for your concern I really appreciate it" Midnights said sarcastically wanting to leave already.
"We are not done yet" I don't know where this sudden wave of confidence and decisiveness came from. I pulled her towards myself.
"We are, let me go" she pulled her hand from my grip. Her eyes were filled with something I couldn't even define. Something between anger and fear, mixed with fatigue. I think I've seen this before.
I really don't know what to think about all this. She's so confusing and complicated I swear. It's like I want to talk to her but when there is such an opportunity, either I can't get a single word out of myself or Midnights assures me that she's fine even though I know it's not true and she knows I don't believe her.
I stood there for a moment thinking. I took a deep breath and with mixed feelings I went to my next class.
I had math where I sat with Folklore. It was about halfway through the lesson and we were solving some problems. The class was completely silent. At one point I heard whispers behind my back. After a moment they intensified and everyone was fiercely discussing something.
"What's going on?" Folklore asked looking around the classroom. We were sitting in the front so I did the same.
"I don't know" I looked around at the people's faces and my eyes landed on Karma who was sitting alone at the back in the corner of the classroom. She looked at me and her lips stretched into a smile. I looked away and quickly went back to doing math tasks.
I felt someone's eyes on me all the time. I breathed a sigh of relief when the lesson ended. When we went out into the cafeteria, I had the impression that everyone was looking at me. What the hell.
"Why are they staring?" I asked, sitting at the table next to TTPD.
"Fearless, tell her" Debut said and her girlfriend just looked away.
"No, let Red say it"
"Maybe TTPD should"
"I...um"
"Someone is spreading rumors around school about you and Midnights and these idiots are filling in the blanks" Speak Now stopped this absurd discussion, telling you straight what it's about.
I took a moment to process what she had just said. Honestly, I could have expected this. They all looked at me worriedly, waiting for my reaction, but I didn't know what to do or say. I just looked from one to the other.
"Oh well..." that's the only thing I managed to say, breaking the silence.
"Do you want to see it?" Folklore asked very gently, giving me a comforting look.
"Don't worry, people will forget about it completely in a few days" Red assured and I smiled absently to her.
They were saying something else but my brain wasn't registering it. All I could think about was that I couldn't change what people said about me. I felt like I was losing control and I hated it. I should have been angry or sad but the only thing I was worried about was that I didn't know either what was going on between me and Midnights. Do she even cared about me? Like ever? Or am I just another random girl for her as the rumors say?
