Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer

It was dinner time right now and all around me there wew whispers and pointing fingers towards my direction

I guess news at this school, probably at any school around the world traveled pretty fast, because even before I had gym there were already whispers and stuff happening

But i guess the bringer of the news to the school hallway, was non other than Ms. Kara Danvers who didn't even need a megaphone to scream to the world how I had beaten Alex for the first time ever

Aren't they sisters?Shouldn't she be comforting or do something to Alex?

Why was she so happy about that?

By the mention of her name, I remembered that she wasn't in locker room by the time I had gone inside to check on her, yes she was you know how, but that still didn't mean that I didn't care

Anyways, we were at dinner right now and Kara for the first time since I've known her, which was not long, was not eating and was still talking about my win against Alex, loudly, which caused people staring at our table and of course attention towards me which I didn't want

With attention, there comes recognition and with recognition comes expectations

And I didn't want anything of that, just for this year to pass, go to a good college that this school was offering the opportunity to attend to, study law and then become a police officer and have a wonderful happy normal life

With this "scandal" all of this dream will be destroyed and Kara wasn't helping at all with that, she just kept rambling bringing Winn and James into the conversation

Lena on the other hand tried to make her stop subtly which of course didn't work and actually tried in a more directly way by taking some of Kara's food to eat, which I thought would kill her, but again thankfully Kara was too gone to realise anything happening around her

Lena shruged at me, saying I tried with that I just exhaled really loudly and shook my head at her

I looked around the room, trying to find who was looking towards me, surprisingly I caught the eye of Kate who was actually giving me sympathetic yet with apathetic eyes look, the message completely clear with that, You're screwed...

Yeah I know Kate, you don't even have to point it out...or grimace

She quickly went back to her food not sparing me with another glance and not so strangely my gaze fell on the popular table where Alex was supposed to be, but she wasn't and actually not everyone of her friends where there maybe they will come later who knows

I turned back to my food, not having much of an appetite all of a sudden and Kara was still talking

I decided to go back to my room, I just couldn't keep listening to her right now, my head was starting to hurt

I stood up and all eyes at the table turned towards, Kara even stopped talking, wow I should probably keep a mental note for the next time she just won't stop talking

"Hey, Maggie what's up?Where are you going?"

"Oh I ust have a headache so I am heading back to my room, if you need anything I will be there"

They all nodded and I left but the stares still followed me, even in the hallway and I just needed to breath, so a little detour to get some before the room was everything I needed right now

It was 7 right now, the sun had set but there were lights out illumminating the fields, so I decided to explore a little the grounds

I have said it again but the school was huge like really huge
