LYRA'S P.O.V.
I was preparing for the next class when Alesana slams a test paper on my desk, she looks mad.
"Lyra, what's the meaning of this?" Alesana questioned with a frustrated tone pointing at the score above the test paper.
12/50, great... I really am stupid... It dawned on me...
"Look, it doesn't matter if my score is 12." I remarked sweating a bit trying to avoid eye contact with Alesana.
"Look, you won't be able to graduate if you keep this score!" Alesana yelled making me covered my ears.
"Jeez, Alesana. You're not my mother to yell at me like that." I muttered furrowing my eyebrows.
Alesana, of course, she's the smartest in our class, always perfect. All the boys fell for her charm, I mean who wouldn't fall for her? She's pretty, smart, and talented too. I can't blame them for having a crush on her, even I fall in love with her but I kept this feelings for her because I don't want to ruin our friendship so I kept this stupid feelings of mine aside.
Alesana calmed down when Jasper approached and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Calm down, Alesana. You're stressing our lazy friend." David sighed with a smile.
And then there's David, her boy best friend, I really don't like him in the first place, because of his mysterious personality.
I got offended of course from what David just stated, but it's true. I was lazy to study or anything. I just couldn't help but feel fatigue all the time.
"If she keeps this up, she won't be able to graduate!" Alesana dramatically stated while I nonchalantly shrugged my shoulders.
"Come on, stop saying that like it's the end of the world. Additionally, the graduation is like next year." I retorted and laid my head on my desk.
Alesana pouted like a child and as for Jasper he was just chuckling amused by the situation.
**Break time**
It was break time, finally I have the time to rest. But I didn't expect to be disturb by Merry.
Yes, Merry, the soft-spoken in our class. She's really irritating sometimes, but she's kind even if her voice is kind of irritating sometimes because it's high pitch.
"Hey, have you heard Christine's issue?" Merry whispered as I shook my head.
"Look, let me show you." Merry took out her phone.
When Merry showed me, it was a video. I pressed the play button and it was a freaking s*x video!
I immediately looked away I felt like I'm traumatized seeing that video.
"The hell?!" I yelled I felt disgusted after seeing the video, while merry withdrew her phone and giggled.
"See? It's the latest issue here in our school, the video spread like wild fire!" Merry stated with a chuckled.
"So you mean, everyone here in our school knew about this issue?" I muttered curiously.
Merry then nodded. "I got this video from a friend in different section." Merry said with a playful smile, and she looks proud of it.
"I thought Christine's your friend? Why are you gossiping about her like that?" I questioned folding my arms on my chest.
"Christine and I weren't friends, we're just backstabbing each other." Merry stated shrugging her shoulders.
"Did something happened between you two? Because that's the most toxic friendship I've ever heard." I spat with a disappointed face.
"Hmp, it's her fault for stealing my boyfriend, did you know she slept with tons of guys too? Sending them nudes picture of her." Merry explained with a playful tone.
I got a little disgusted when Merry explained everything about Christine's doing... But it's none of my business to interfere in their friendship so I just kept quiet and listened.
"We're friends, right? I can trust you, can I?" Merry inquired with a soft smile.
Meanwhile, I don't know what to reply. I keep my posture straight and just nodded, agreeing to what she said.
When I noticed David and Alesana came near to my seat as Merry arose from the seat next to me and departed herself from me.
Alesana glanced at Merry who was departing from the seat next to me as she drew near and positioned herself next to me.
"Lyra, why are you talking to that b*tch?" Alesana questioned with serious face.
I showed disinterest, raising my shoulders I don't know what to response anyways or maybe I'm just lazy to tell what Merry just told me.
"I heard she's the one who spread those videos of Christine. Well not all, but some." Alesana stated with a stern look on her face.
"Huh? What really happened between those two? I thought they're best friends or something." I inquired shrugging my shoulders.
Alesana then leaned forward I could feel her breath on my ear still with a serious expression.
"Christine told me that she told everything to Merry. When she does the video and her secrets got exposed everywhere, now Christine is depressed, doesn't know how to handle the pressure of people who gossips about her, she also mentioned that Merry stole her boyfriend." Alesana whispered all in to my ear.
A thought strucked me, "what the f*ck is happening? Who to believe? Are both of them lying or something? I don't know anymore, I'm too lazy to think."
"Hold on a sec... Merry told me it's Christine who stole her boyfriend... Huh? I'm freaking confused about everything it's draining my mind." I stated uncertainty.
Alesana pulled back a bit and narrowed her eyes with a frown on her lips.
"Huh? It's obvious that Merry is the one lying." Alesana asserted folding her arms across her chest.
"How are you sure about that? I'm not taking any sides... But isn't it confusing? I don't even know who to believe." I uttered a confused remark furrowing my eyebrows.
"Maybe it's because Merry and Christine so called 'boyfriend' is one of them." David interjected the conversation and sat on a arm chair.
Alesana and I raised an eyebrow from what David just said we were both confused.
"Okay, let's stop for now, my mind can't keep up from what's happening, can't we just stay out of their business? It's their problem not ours." I asserted before I laid my head on my desk.
"Oh come on, Lyra! Don't sleep now we still have Science class!" Alesana shouted shaking my shoulders.
Once Alesana stopped I noticed Christine walking toward us, her gaze was on me. I don't know but I feel like something is wrong.
Christine stopped in front of me and put her arms behind her biting the bottom of her lips averting eye contact with me.
After a few moments of silence Christine finally spoke, "Uh... Lyra? Can we talk?"
I felt my heartbeat racing by the seconds, I don't know why I'm like this but I can't help the feeling of something is wrong.
"Oh man... I hope this end soon..." I thought to myself.
I arose from my seat, since we only have 10 minutes now after the breaktime I decided to talk with Christine for now by following her outside the classroom and went to a secluded room.
"Uh... I know you've heard about my issue... Please don't believe it's me! It was Merry who had s*x with that guy!" Christine exclaimed with tears in her eyes.
"Please... Believe me... Merry was the one who's trying to ruin my image as the muse in our class!" Christine cried trying to wipe her tears away.
I couldn't help but feel uneasy, I felt bad for Christine but I couldn't shake the feeling of the thought maybe she's lying.
I just sighed and opened my arms for her to hug to make her feel more comfortable with me, I don't want to ask questions, after all it's not my problem.
Christine immediately embraced me crying on my chest as I wrapped around her caressing her back.
"I don't know why did she do that... I trusted her, I shared my secrets to her, and yet she betrays me." Christine stated while crying.
"I'm glad you're my friend, Lyra..." Christine stated with a smile as she wiped her tears away.
To my surprise I didn't expect her to call me her "friend" because I never really knew her we're not even close, I thought she just wanted to be nice and to be friends with me.
I was Merry's friend too, I don't know which one to believe, but my mind was considering Christine's statements, after all I see Christine as a nice and lovely lady.
Wegot startled when the bell rang as both of us laughed when we saw each other's reaction.
We then got out of the secluded room and went back inside the classroom we were relieved when our science teacher wasn't there yet or else we would've been punished because we're late in her class.
I put the issue aside from now and just went back to my seat and laid my head on my desk, I can clearly feel like Christine is not telling the whole truth but I let it aside from now.
"These two are really making it difficult for me to see who's just pretending to be the victim. I haven't heard Merry's side yet I better ask her later after class." I thought to myself folding my arms across my chest with a serious look on my face.
