The Rumor

As Ciara opened the door, she found quite a few students already in class.

They all looked at her while she entered the lecture hall. Their eyes were strange... different.

They felt somewhat similar to the kind they previously used to view her with, back when she was affiliated with Mia.

'What is going on?' The already frightened girl thought to herself.

However, a big difference compared to back then, was that her classmates trusted her at his point. Thus, they were able to approach her.

A girl came close Ciara as she looked around in confusion. She gave a slightly nervous and confused smile, speaking up to the object of everyone's attention.

"C-Ciara... there's this news going around... about you..." Lisa, one of the people who contested for Class Representative alongside her, managed to say.

The young girl had become one of Ciara's close classmates, yet even she had an uncomfortable gaze.

"Wha—? What's it about?!" Ciara asked, completely dazed.
