Daddy Issues

Chapter Five: Rumors

quioeMonday 8:40 am

"Thank you, Ms. Rey." Professor Jung said as I handed him my exam paper. I walk out of the classroom with Yuna. "So, how did you do?" She asked. I sighed, "Not sure, but I think I did terrible what about you?" I asked as we got to the picnic table. "Hmm, I think I did okay." She said with a smile. I let out a soft chuckle. "That's her." I heard some girls gossiping I turn to see them staring at me with disgust written all over their faces, I look away confused.

"Hey, you two...how was the exam?" Seungmin asked, sitting down next to me, "It was hell... I don't get why Professor Jung has to take the exam so boring." Yuna said, taking a sip of her banana milk. I felt like I was being watched from afar. I turned around to see almost half of the university were whispering while staring at me. I look at Seungmin and Yuna, who didn't seem to notice. I see the others getting walking towards us. "Is it just me, or is everyone staring at Mitzi like crazy?." Ryujin asked, confused. I look at her, "You noticed it?" I asked, relieved that she had noticed the stares.

"Why is everyone staring at me?" I asked with a panicked tone Seungmin looks at them confused, "I'll be right back." He said, getting up, I grab onto his wrist "Where are you going?" I asked him, pats my head lightly. "Trust me. I'll be back." He said I let go of him. "Don't worry, M I'm sure he's going to ask someone why they're staring at you." Doyeon said, comforting me, "I just feel weirded out by all these stares." I said, letting a sigh escape my lips.

"Don't worry. I'm sure Seungmin has found out already," Yeji said with a small smile, I look at her with teary eyes. "Hey, let's get her out of here." Seungmin said, I look at him, confused, "Why? What is it?" I asked, getting up as he grabs my hand. The others were just as confused as I am. "Mitzi Rey." I turn around to see some blonde-haired girl I've never met but have heard of before. "You have only been here for like what two, three months, and have a reputation already...what a shame." She said Doyeon was glaring at her this whole time.

"I knew it had something to do with you," Seungmin said with a stern voice. My head was spinning, "Tiffany, what a surprise I see you're the stuck up bitch." Ryujin said with a chuckle. Tiffany looked irritated by Ryujin's words, "Please, at least I'm not a slut... like a foreigner here." She said with a smirk, "A slut?" I asked her,  "Yes, a slut everyone knows that you've been screwing around with Seungmin, Felix, and now Christopher Bang...wow Mitzi, it seems like you have a list who also is on it? Eunwoo? Hyunjin? Sanha? Mark?"

Tiffany said I pull my hand from Seungmin's grip "I am not a slut! I didn't sleep with anyone! So I don't see how you think I am that type of girl! I am not like you! I am not like Tiffany Hun! You think I didn't know about you! You're the slut that went behind Seungmin's back so that you could get laid with some brick! So you have to stop spreading false rumors about other innocent people who are nothing like you and about me!" I finished  I was catching my breath everyone was watching the scene, anger was flowing around my body, I was in so much rage.

"Come on, M, let's go," Doyeon said, pulling me away from Tiffany. I look at Seungmin. He looked worried about what just had happened. We walk to the parking lot, "Oh my god, M...that was bizarre." Ryujin said with a surprised look, "Yeah, I didn't know a small girl like you would have so much anger." Hyunjin said, poking my side, I look at him. I let out a sigh I squat down hugging my knees and burst into tears. I felt a pair of arms wrap around me, "It's okay...it's alright...nothing's to hurt, alright." Seungmin whispered. I look at him "Let's get you home, alright." He said, wiping my tears away. I nodded as he helps me up, "Don't worry, Mitzi. I think you got Tiffany good, and if she does try to mess with you again, we'll beat her." Ryujin said Seungmin looks at her with a 'no violence' look. "Of course it'll be a team effort," Doyeon said with a smile Yeji laughs. "Come on. You guys, let's go watch a movie." Yeji said, wrapping her arm over Yuna.

"Of course, we should go to Seungmin's place." Hyunjin said I look at them with a small smile, "Yeah, we'll bring some sweets and popcorn." Sanha said, "I'll bring the movies." We turn to see Eunwoo, "Dude, where were you missed out a lot." Hyunjin said I realized that I was still in Seungmin's arms, he's so warm, so sweet, he smells like fresh-cut lavender mixed with spice. Did I felt secured? Wait? Do I have feelings for him?

I pull away from him slowly, "Thank you." I whispered as I fix my blouse. "Uh." He cleared his throat, "we should get going if we're gonna have a movie night." He continued, "Right, I'll ride with you guys." Ryujin said, linking her arm with me, I smile. "We'll see you guys there," Doyeon noted, as the rest walk to their cars. I hand Seungmin the car keys as we walk to my Grey Mercedes.

"So, are you doing okay?" Ryujin asked, I nodded, "Yeah, a bit better," I said Seungmin opens the passenger door for me. I look at him with a faint smile. "Oh, how sweet you'll open her door but not mine," Ryujin said as she opened the car door I let out a small laugh. I get inside the car. 

The car ride wasn't awkward at all. Oh, am I kidding? Of course, it was uncomfortable. Well, not for Ryujin, but me and Seungmin, it was awkward for both us. "So, how's your guys' mom?" I asked Ryujin laughs "God M, you're so awkward...she's doing alright she misses you for sure, she wonders why you're the only one who spends time studying, unlike the others." She said I smile, "Mom is gonna be thrilled when she finds out that Mitzi is coming over." Ryujin said, looking at Seungmin with a smirk.

I look out the window. What's wrong with me? Why did snapped like that? Why was this weird feeling when I was hugging Seungmin? Why can't I get Christopher Bang out of my head? Why do I have so many questions?
