"Seriously? You were absent yesterday, did you catch the gossip?" I couldn't believe I asked him.
Allie rolled her eyes. "Because you don't login to f*******:! You don't keep updates on gossip here at school! Anyway, here it is. Samantha, had a status yesterday. Look ..."
He gave me his phone. My forehead immediately knit at what I read. Clearly, he is targeting something in his posts. I don't really want to assume, but by the looks of it, it seems like she's pertaining to me.
"Imagine being the newest slut in your school. You must be so proud of it." I can't help but to sneer after reading Samantha's status update. "How childish ..."
"I feel like you're the one being hit by that, sis." said Allie to me.
I returned her phone. "Say whatever she wants, let's see if I care."
"Aren't you annoyed at all? You want us to rush. I'm going to hold your hair, just let it go!" he said laughing.
I laughed when I imagined the scene. Yeah, that would be a sight to behold, if ever. "I don't want to stoop so low to her level. We shouldn't bother so much."
Oh yeah, here it is. "Allie browsed through her f*******: feed. After a while, she showed me her phone screen again. My brows automatically furrowed when I saw a picture. It was a photo of me and Troy in the garden. For some reason, someone posted that on the school's page. "Sam saw it so gaga got status. What happened yesterday? I thought you weren't with me? "
"Troy appeared after our video call yesterday. We just loitered together, nothing else. Anyway, I don't care what the people in that picture think." and that's the truth.
"Anyway ... anyway, did you see the comments--"
"Ellen!" a voice called suddenly outside the window of our classroom. Allie looked at us at the same time because of that. It's no other than Mathieu.
Allie and I met, together with Derek and the other two recruits at our meeting place. We just strategized a bit, then played a few games to test the team's synergy. I must say, we really play well as a team.
After that, we also entered our respective classes. Since Sportsfest this week, we no longer expect to have formal lectures. Therefore, Allie and I just hung out in the classroom.
"Ellen, haven't you noticed anything?" pandak asked with a smile.
I just looked at her, trying to figure out what she’s talking about. "Nothing, why? What did you do? You sold a kidney?"
"Shunga, what are you? I also cut bangs! You can look good!"
Now that she mentioned it, I kind of noticed that. "Oh ... yeah, right. Did you cut your hair or did you cut it yourself?"
"Huh? How did you say that?"
"It's not even. Look to the side, it's blunt."
She immediately took her phone out of her bag to see her reflection. "Ay pakshet! Yes indeed! Hala he ..."
I just fixed her hair for a while before speaking again. "There, it's not so obvious. What else went into your brain?"
"It's too long! I told Mama, I'm going to get a haircut. I didn't want to give her money yesterday. She's really stingy ..." she looked at me suddenly, as if she remembered something. "Oh yeah, I have gossip, sis."
Here we go again ...

"Ellen!" a voice called suddenly outside the window of our classroom. Allie looked at us at the same time because of that. It's no other than Mathieu....
After an hour, Allie and I went straight to the designated classroom for e-sports elimination. We're the first team to compete so we really need to go. Luckily, we won the first elimination round rather easily since Allie and Derek are really good at playing.
I received a text message from Mathieu about lunch. As we agreed, in the cafeteria we will eat again. I'm still unsure of what will happen next, but I just let myself go with the flow. Tarah and Sunny were the ones we met at our meet-up place. They were smiling at first, but immediately frowned when they saw Allie with me.
Tarah looked at Allie first before speaking. "I'm not sure if we invited you, too. What's your name again?"
"Her name is Allie. I invited her. Do you have a problem with that?" I answered him firmly.
She gave me an awkward laugh because of that answer. "N-No, there's no problem at all. Sit down, friend!"
"That's your friend, you're not saying ..." Allie whispered to me suddenly.
I sneered upon hearing that. "Don't be ridiculous ..." I whispered.
The four of us sat down at the table they had saved. I looked around to see where Math is, but he's nowhere to be found. He also doesn't have a baby girlfriend.
"Where's Math?" I asked Tarah.
