As soon as I reached the academy and started walking down the halls, I could feel everyone's gaze on me.
What was it now?
I couldn't help but wonder.
Whispers.
Low, hushed voices filled the air as I walked down the hall. It was like everyone was talking about me but not saying anything loud enough for me to hear.
I didn't need to hear it.
I could guess.
"Haaa..."
I let out a deep sigh.
This was getting old.
I kept walking, heading towards the library, hoping to find a little peace and quiet, but as I passed one of the bulletin boards, something caught my eye.
It was a piece of paper, clearly posted by the academy's news committee.
[EXTRA, EXTRA!
Aestrea Moon Has Been Seen Hanging Out with Multiple Girls!
Is He a Player? Come Find Out!]
The headline jumped off the page, and I felt my stomach drop.
"Ah..."
Of course.
It had to be something like this.
