Gloom and Glow

Rumours

On a Friday morning.

The campus was filled with busy noises and some cheers when there were girls looking at Terry who had never walked to the science area of the campus as he looked straight to his front without blinking once at the girls that were surrounding him. Terry was wearing a black trench coat that he had never worn before, and it made him look smart for the day and his cyan blue contact lens complimented the darkness of his clothing.

"What's Terry doing here?" Some girls asked each other, as Terry walked towards the geology class.

"He's going to Geology class!"

"Is there a girl he loves there?"

"Man, such news, there is going to be so much gossip. Look at him wearing his best clothes."

"Must be Linda, that girl is famous!"

Terry entered the geology class as the moment he entered Selena had a scared look on her face when Terry started glaring at her. She could feel panic in the air, when she realized that Terry was actually mad at her. Terry started walking up the stairs as Selena tried to remember what she did wrong because he seemed to look extremely mad at her.

What did I forget? Did I forget to turn off the lights? Did I forgot to clean my desk? What is it?

He grabbed the sleeves of hoodie she wore as her belt for her shirt, and glared straight into her eyes, "why did you took my hoodie?!"

"Oh."

Terry gave a light hit on her head, "don't just 'oh' me, apologize!"

Selena rubbed her head, and Terry folded his arms and continued speaking, "you know how hard is it for me to run under the sun?!"

"Oh yeah," she looked around her for a little bit, "but Terry... uhh, the entire geology class is staring at you."

When Terry realized that, he made a dash running back to the art department trying to hide the feeling of shame inside of him.

"Terry is running at full-speed across the hall!!!" A person screamed, as Selena just smiled awkwardly alone, sighing. She didn't notice that there were some girls glaring at her, as she just continued trying her best to clean up her table.

When Terry came to his class, his friend went up towards him and asked, "dude, did you just ran across---"

"Please don't talk about it."

"I saw you talking to a girl in geology class."

"So what?" Terry glared.

"I thought you hated girls, but you are okay with her."

"It's a long story."

The class continued, as Selena wrote down things that the lecturer said without bothering to hear what the other girls were talking about behind her back. Once the class finished, she just left, not bothering to take note on what the people around her was talking about, she was thinking of getting home as soon as possible.

Fedrick stood waiting for her at the hall and grabbed her by her shoulder as their eyes met, "Selena, are you okay?"

"Do I look sick?" She said with a confused look on her face.

"Not that, did you not hear that there are rumours that you are called a thief?"

"I just accidentally took Terry's hoodie, it's no biggie," she said, showing the black hoodie she was wearing at her belt.
