Rumour

Summary: "Well, rumour has it you're supposed to be running off with Alfred, Angela." She nearly choked on her tea.

Arthur Kirkland was not a happy camper. Supposedly, based on a rumor going around, Angela was leaving him and running off with Alfred.

How could anyone believe such a stupid rumour!? Angela would never just up and leave after three years with me! …right?

He honestly wanted to believe it was nothing but a rumour someone made up to get on his nerves, but it was hard not to believe it. He and Angela had been in a fight all week, and he was beginning to believe the rumour was true.

Perhaps… she got fed up with me.

Angela, however, had no clue about the rumour, as she had been hard at work in the library during each of her breaks to study for a science exam she had to pass. The only time she would look up was to take a drink of her tea and then return to studying. If she had known about the rumour, she would have run straight for Arthur to warn him that it was not true and that she was not planning to run away with Alfred.

Gotta get done… science is next class…

"Angela!"

Angela barely lifted her head from the book to see Arthur walking towards her. She gave a quick wave before diving back into the textbook. Must read.

"Angela, I want to talk to you."

"Can't. Busy. Science exam next period."

"Fine then. I'll talk, you listen. Look, I know you've been having some… issues lately, but I don't think your course of action is correct."

Angela actually stopped to look at Arthur, giving him a confused look. She didn't think her 'course of action' concerning their fight was wrong. Of course, she had just been ignoring him for the week and studying in all her free time.

"…Arthur, what are you talking about?" she grabbed her drink, hoping he wouldn't take much longer because she could feel all the information she had read leaving her brain.

"Well, rumour has it you're supposed to be running off with Alfred, Angela."

She nearly choked on her tea. "What?! I am not running off with that twit!" Angela looked appalled, giving Arthur some relief for a moment, before she said "What, you believed a stupid rumour?"

The second she sees his face go bright red, Angela laughs, before jumping up from her spot and giving a kiss to her boyfriend.

"Silly head. I wouldn't leave such a great relationship for a stupid twit head. Now, leave me to study!"

Arthur nods, sighing as he leaves the library so Angela can finish studying.

…I feel like a complete idiot. Now, to find whoever started that rumour.
