It was inching towards the end of the day.
The last class that Monae had ended early yet other classes were still resuming. She knew she had to wait on Blaine until she finished.
The hallways weren't filled with much students but Monae still felt as if students were gossiping and sniggering behind her back.
Whoever she did make eye contact with was looking at her differently, and she didn't like it. What the fuck was going on?
Monae noticed a piece of paper on the floor and her curiosity got the best of her. She reached down to pick it up when suddenly she was pushed, resulting in her falling face-first.
She landed on her hands and quickly looked behind her to notice three guys standing above her. Her brows furrowed deeply with anger as they snickered amongst themselves.
"Come with us for a sec. We just wanna talk."
Monae's face scrunched up as her anger turned into confusion, "What the fuck you want?"
--
"Blaine!!" Isabella shouted as she busted through the hidden door in the library.
Blaine looked at her with a plain expression on her face. "What did I tell you about bursting through my door?" She asked. "If you have business with me, then–" "–Shut up and read this! I found it being passed around throughout the school!"
Blaine turned away from what she was doing and took the piece of paper that Isabella was offering for her to read. She held it up to her view and read it.
The note said the following: Monae is using her body to manipulate Blaine and is stealing money from her! Don't let her appearance fool you! Don't let that ghetto black bitch deceive you!
"At least half of the school has already seen it by the time that I noticed." Isabella said.
Blaine gripped her knuckles as she formed a fist and punched the wall, startling Isabella in the process. But still her expression showed no reaction.
"Where did this come from?" Blaine asked.
"...It looks like only one person did this... and–" Blaine turned away before she could finish her sentence and walked out of the room.
"Hey! Where are you going!?" Isabella called after her but Blaine was already out of sight.
--
One of the guys grabbed Monae by a handful of her hair as she hissed in pain. "Don't you listen to people when they talk to you!?"
"This school is only for elite students! A dirty bitch like you doesn't belong here!" Another one of them yelled, before spitting in her face.
She immediately went to swing on him but the other two guys held her back as she screamed, "Get yo' fucking hands off me! I swear to God, I'ma end y'all fucking lives! Let me go!"
"I bet you have a nice body under those baggy clothes! Why don't you show us?! It's not like it'll be your first time showing it off in public!"
The same guy who spat in her face slapped her across the face and anger had consumed every bone in Monae's body at this point. She was screaming and kicking even with two guys holding her down so they slammed her against the wall.
"How much money have you stole from Blaine, huh?! You conniving bitch! Who do you think you are!? You thought you could fool us?!"
"What the fuck you talking 'bout!? Get the fuck off me–Urgh!?" Monae groaned out of frustration as she struggled against them.
Blaine could hear Monae shouting from afar and began to move even faster, but as she turned a corner, everything grew quiet as she saw Gianna standing in front of Monae.
"Are you guys seriously ganging up on a girl because of a rumour?!" She yelled.
The guys immediately backed down as they left and Monae was caught completely off guard.
"Are you alright?" Gianna asked as she faced her. "I'm so sorry that you went through that, and all because of a stupid rumour."
"Nah, I'm straight." Monae responded, and Gianna gave her a smile. "I'm so glad they didn't hurt you. If anything happens, come straight to me. If you're special to Blaine... you're special to me. I have a feeling that we're going to be good friends."
Monae was speechless. She thought maybe she had misjudged Gianna after all.
If only she knew Gianna plotted against her.
