Finally, a break from the grind. Everyone hustled towards the cafeteria.
Leaning on Arabella, Kelly being drained of all her strength, said, "Grandpa Beck told me to look out for you, but you don't seem to need anyone's help at all!"
She was probably the most energetic person in the whole class.
"It's so hot, let's go eat before there's no seats left," Joyce said, dragging them along, starving and sweaty.
"Do you think my skin got sunburned?" Mya touched her face, feeling the heat, probably a sunburn.
The four arrived at the cafeteria, barely sat down with their meals, when they heard people chatting next to them.
"I heard the top scorer's dorm is in the south building. Anybody living there know what she looks like?"
"Typically, the high-achievers are bad-tempered and not so pretty."
"Online, lots of people are saying she's really ugly."
"Someone even said she's bald!"
Arabella, who was eating next to them was stunned by their remarks.
The other three girls stopped eating and looked at Arabella. Where was the ugly? Where was the bald?
She was obviously so gorgeous, with such delicate skin. Even if they were making stuff up, they couldn't be so outrageous, right?
"I saw one of her old classmates saying the top scorer is unsociable, quirky, and talks to herself a lot, like she's got some mental issues."
Kelly couldn't stand it anymore and slammed the table, "Have you even met her? Spouting nonsense without knowing her? Do you think spreading rumors is consequence-free? Instead of eating after a tiring training, you're here spouting crap?"
Caught off guard by her outburst, they stuttered. They were just chatting, not making things up.
If the top-scorer was really a looker, why were there so many negative comments about her online??
