Kapitel 143: Makai – Tense Situations

Makai

~~

I wanted to comfort Ocean. I wanted to take his hand and tell him that everything was going to be OK. I wanted to hug him until all of his stress was gone. I wanted to do so much, but I couldn't. 

All I could do right now was walk to class silently while we ignored the rumors that people were whispering about us. I heard them. The other people in the halls weren't being all that quiet while we were walking past them.

"Do you think it's true?"

"I don't know, that's just what I heard."

"What a waste. They're both such a catch."

"How, though? I mean, Ocean was with Brittney. It can't possibly be true."

"Hush, Makai is looking this way."

"Do you really think that he is like that? I mean, he's new here, could they be wrong?"

"From what I heard, someone saw them together. Like together together."

"I can't picture it."

"I won't believe the rumors that Brittney spreads. She has it out for Ocean."
