Chapter 8

(Y/n POV)

I'm walking through the halls. For some reason everyone's been glaring at me for the past few days. It's making me even more nervous. 'Have I done something wrong? Why are they glaring at me?' I thought. At lunch time I went and sat at the table in a corner. Shasha sat with me.

"Wh-why's e-everyo-one gla-glaring a-at m-me?" I asked her. She looked worried when I asked her as if she's debating whether she should tell me or not. "There's just a rumour about you. Nothing more.ha ha." She nervously chuckled. "Wh-what ru-rumour?" I asked her.

"Um. Uh. It's that you've been winning all the tournaments by um uh um bribing your um opponents." She said nervously smiling. I looked at her shocked. "But don't worry, I know you're not like that." She said reassuringly. I thanked her for that. I looked down, my aura getting a little dark. After eating I went to my room.

At night

I was training alone, in the training room. After training, I went to the wall and sat down. Putting down my head and hands on my knees. But then a voice called out to me, "Thinking about the rumours?" I looked up and saw Alex standing beside me. I didn't answer him and just looked down. He sat down beside me and said, "It must be hard, hearing rumours about yourself." He said patting my head and smiling. I just nodded yes.

"I didn't want to tell you this. But since it's hurting you so much, I'll tell you." I looked at him, tilting my head in confusion. "I know who's been spreading rumours about you. It's Lillian and Free." I looked at him shocked. I felt my world crumble. Tears threatening to fall.

"Th-they wo-wouldn't d-do th-that. Th-they're m-my.. friends." I whispered to him. "You're really naive, y/n. And cruel people like them have fun, humiliating naive people like you." He said and I looked down. "You love him, don't you?  Well, that was their plan. Free'll make you fall for him and Lillian will get closer to you. And when they've done that, they'll break you." I looked at him, shocked. "If you don't believe me, you can go and ask Free. He'll just say that he tricked you." Saying that he left. I stood up and went towards the forest cause I know Free'll be there. 'It can't be true. They won't do that to me. We're friends, right?' I thought. Then I found both of them. I went closer to them. But before I could reach them, I saw something that made me cry. 

"I love you too, Free!" Lillian said and kissed him. After seeing that I ran away as fast as I can. I ran outside of BC sol and went into a jungle. Then I sat down a log. "Why does this happen to me?! Why does everyone betrays me?! Why can't I just learn my lesson?! Why do I keep trusting people?!" I screamed, wiping my tears. I kept crying. "Why doesn't anyone trust me? Why do people think that I cheat to win? Why do people think that my wins are just a fluke? Why? Why?!"

"Everyone thinks that your wins are flukes? Must be hard to listen to." A man's voice said. I turned around and asked the man, " Wh-who a-are y-you?"

He just smiled.
