Moon District (Destiny Series #1)

CHAPTER 21

"Elena what did that guy say to you?"

I asked her as soon as we entered the condo. Elena stood by the couch, she turned around to face me, her face was full of pity and sadness, like she discovered something devastating.

"I...uhm..." She looked at me hesitantly "I know its obvious... from what Tsukio and his brother are talking about but..."

"But what?" I pressed, Elena rubbed the back of her neck

"Its.... Arrghhh!" Elena shooked her head in frustration

"Hina, Mamoru is warning you about Tsukio!" I raised a brow at her. What's she talking about?

"Warning? About Tsukio?" I reapeat, Elena looked around as if she's asking for help.

"I don't... I don't think I can trust him anymore Hina.... More or less you don't know what's happening to your reputation at school!" My brows narrowed to what she's saying. What did that Mamoru guy tell her? And what reputation?

"Elena you do realize I don't really care about my reputation" I told her, she just sighed and slumped her shoulders

"There are three more days before the Foundation days end... Don't focus on Tsukio for at least one or two days... And I don't know if Hercules knows about it but maybe you should talk to him tomorrow" She said in a low tone

"Why can't you just tell me yourself?"

"You'll get too confused if I explain it and besides you won't believe me if I say it to you.. So it's best for the rumors and gossips explain" Elena sighed heavily and went in to the room, leaving me alone in the living room.

The next day I decided to walk alone to the dance room. The dance performance is still in the afternoon so I still have time to polish up the troupe but my mind was filled with multiple thoughts about what Elena just said to me and what Mamoru said to Tsukio

What are you doing with her, Tsukio?

Why did it sound like I'm the threat to him? Do I look that intimidating?

I entered the dance room, I looked around to see if people were looking at me or gossiping or some sort 'cause I'm feeling the tension in the room or maybe it's just me and my anxiety.

I called in the troupe for a two-round polish, some of them didn't obey so I have to shout at them. They're obviously freshmans since they're so moody.

After the practice I sat on the floor by the corner of the room, scrolling through instagram. I started to hear whispers and giggles just near me, I stopped to pay attention to it.

"Slut"

I tried not to look up and find the voice, maybe they're just talking about someone else or are they referring to me?

I rubbed my forehead trying to convince myself. I'm just overthinking maybe or my anxiety is acting up again.

After a 30 minute water break, I called the troupe back in for another two-round polish again. I then realized that half of the troupe isn't present.

"Where are the others?" I asked

"Some went to the faculty to give them copy of our music" One of the younger members answered

"And why does it have to be half of the troupe?" They all looked at each other and shrugged

I rolled my eyes, maybe they're still out roaming around and having fun with the different booths the other classes made.
