Aurora Things weren't exactly easy for the next few days. Coupled with the inappropriate jokes I often found myself in the center of, and even getting sidelined by some teachers because of my supposedly bad reputation, people just didn't want to let my case die down. But things took a turn during a class when I observed something. It was the class I shared with Ross, who was still my project partner. I had tried to avoid him, but relentlessly he had been on my case, often seeking me out for us to talk. I wouldn't have minded working on the project on my own and submitting for us both, but he wanted to be a part of every single development. During class, a joke had been going around, and I didn't need anyone to tell me that it was clearly about me. People kept pointing and whispering.
