Rei and Shakon started to walk back to the cafeteria. Both could hear the rumors being whispered. Regardless, Shakon held her head up high and tried to ignore the fingers being pointed at her. Rei's eyes were wandering around at the people who were talking about his friend.
"Holy crap, are they a couple?"
"It kinda looks like it, doesn't it?"
"But isn't she going out with the man from 'Country Garden' magazine?"
"The president who's 45? Yeah, that's what I heard."
"I heard that she was cheating on him with 3 other guys. I guess Rei's one of them."
How can she take all these rumors? Rei thought sadly. No wonder she's starting to cry once in a while. I would too if I was the one going through all this.
Shakon heard all of the people talking about her, but she did nothing. They'll all see who I am soon enough. She thought.
"But I thought Rei was going out with Linea!"
"No, she just keeps saying that."
"I don't think you can blame her."
"No kidding. But I wish I could just see that Linea's not just making this all up."
"Well, we could go see Shakon at the club on Friday night."
"And risk her trying to seduce me? No thanks."
Shakon got ticked off at this, and a low growl was in her throat. She turned to the group who was talking and glared at him. "What makes you think I'd do that? 'Cause thedemon of the school told you I was a slut? Uh uh, no thanks." She paused and looked at the boy. "And why would I wanna seduce you of all people?" She said, turning and walking away. Rei followed her, trying to keep in his laughter.
Just as Shakon was about to go into the cafeteria, a flash of pink caught her attention. She turned to see Satsuna on her way into the cafeteria. I may not be a feared girl around here anymore. Shakon thought. But no body is allowed to beat me.
"Shakon?" Rei asked, catching up to her. "What's wrong?"
Shakon's eyes narrowed, as she went to talk to Satsuna. Rei decided that this was a good time to leave her alone.
"Satsuna!" Shakon called out to the girl, who turned her attention to the approaching one.
"Oh, it's just you." Satsuna said passively.
"Oh, ha ha, very funny." Shakon said sarcastically. "I want a rematch." She demanded.
Satsuna just stared for a minute. "R-rematch?" She asked. Shakon nodded. "Why?"
"Nobody's aloud to beat me. Nobody." She said.
"Oh, so, now you think I'm somebody." Satsuna said. "After you've lost your reputation, you wanna take away mine."
Shakon was surprised. "Wha? No, it's not like that!"
"Either that, or you just wanna vent out your anger. That's it, isn't it?"
Shakon raised an eyebrow. "Hell no. I just can't allow myself to be beaten."
Satsuna sighed. "When and where?" She asked.
Shakon thought for a moment. "After school, grass field." She answered.
Satsuna nodded, before walking off. Geez, I can tell that she's no slut, but I'm not sure that she's the smartest person around. Satsuna thought, as she walked into her next class.
