Matcha Latte

1 Rumors

⸢Hey! How have you been? ⸥

⸢Yo! Let me copy your homework hahaha.⸥

⸢Don't you think our English teacher is hot? Fufufu ⸥

⸢One large White Caramel Mocha please. ⸥

⸢Hey, it's Lily! ⸥

⸢Lily! Over here! ⸥

*sip

⸢ ... ⸥

Taking a sip of my cold Matcha Tea Latte, I looked around when I heard the girls sitting across me in the café mentioned her name. Lily. I knew her name, I always hear people say it. She's always a topic of everyone's conversations. She's the most popular girl in school; she's beautiful, rich, fashionable, kind and smart. She's also my partner for the class activity this weekend. I want to disappear. Why is it that I, the complete opposite of such a perfect girl, ended up as her partner? I mean, I haven't even spoken to her even once! Her life and my life are at the opposite ends of the spectrum. Hell! I don't even know what she looks like! I tend to avert my eyes from totally blinding objects---and people. I also avoid going anywhere near groups of people and she is almost always surrounded by a gaggle of girls or a flock of fanboys. I don't even open much of my social media to follow her every post or tweet since...well, I'm not actually social enough to use one but since homework and projects sometimes make use of them then I had no choice but to make one.

⸢Oh she's coming! Scoot over and make room for her.⸥

⸢Hey, do you think she'll let us copy her homework? ⸥

⸢ Not a chance, she's not the type to let you copy homework. Let's just get her to treat us to a meal. ⸥

⸢Yeah, she's just gonna teach you some points regarding the homework but she will never let you copy. Kinda stingy of her if you ask me.⸥

⸢ Ara~ didn't know she had a selfish streak. I guess she really wants to protect her throne as the top of the class, huh? ⸥

⸢But she'll treat you to some food and give you free stuff if you're nice to her so just keep treating her like a princess and you won't want for anything fufufu ⸥

⸢You got that right. Fufufu~ besides, all the boys drooling over her. Ugh! I mean we're here too, you know! She just looks innocent but don't you think she's actually a wild girl who hooks up with lots of guys? ⸥

⸢I know right? It doesn't hurt that we're with her all the time. I mean, all those cute boys that she rejected actually came to us, right? Fufufu~⸥

⸢...⸥

Wooooow. Selfish, you say? Have you looked in a mirror lately? Wild girl? Whuut? You're the ones clinging to every boy in class who has a car and a decent face, aren't you? Saying just whatever they want because the person herself isn't here. If I were her, I'd already have enough ammo to destroy your reputation in the University, no, the city; Scratch that, the country. I guess they're lucky that Lily, according to what I heard, is a really nice girl who can't even hurt a fly.

⸢Idiots really don't know they're idiots, huh? ⸥

*sigh

*cling *cling

The door of the café opened with the familiar jingle of the bell and I looked around to finally get a glimpse of the much beloved and equally hated school idol.

Woah...

I was mesmerized.
