Those few days were the last ones before the concert. We all couldn't wait to get everything prepared. We occasionally stayed after classes to help one another. We worked in groups, and it made us closer to each other.

Once I noticed Daniel in the hall when I was going to take another box of decorations. He was there. He seemed to be upset, and all the plans to go on my work disappeared in a second due to my curiosity. I couldn't help missing the chance to learn what was going on.

Some girls from the college ran near Daniel in the hall at the distance of some steps from me, but anyway I heard everything well.

"Oh, my god!" One of them screamed. "Who's that? Daniel?" Her loud voice was full of sarcasm. "Why did you shave your charming mustache? It looked so nice."

Daniel was shocked to find out that they were talking to him. He stopped, turned to them and asked whether those girls were speaking about him or not. They nodded, and he began to listen with great attention.

"Pretty sure, everybody was jealous of your thick beard! Don't you think so?"

They laughed loudly, looked at him again and ran away. Daniel's emotions proved the fact he couldn't understand what they'd meant. I tried to hide in order not to let him notice me overhearing.

I was really nervous to consider that it wouldn't be the only weird situation about the fliers. At the moment when I was "improving" his appearance, I couldn't even guess that it would become such a popular topic of discussion among the students. I hoped Daniel would forget everything and leave it in the past, but unfortunately, it didn't happen.

When Daniel stopped at the garbage can on his way, he saw a concert flier lying on the floor. I hated each second of my life, because it happened so soon and fast. He looked at his face on the piece of paper, trying to cope with the emotions which he had inside. To be honest, I didn't want to know what he felt, but as soon as I saw that he had torn and thrown the lost flier, I understood that anger overpowered him.

Another girl in such circumstances as I was would be scared, but not me. I just wasn't afraid of frustrated Daniel.

Then he knew what the rumors meant, but I didn't want to sympathize. He deserved everything what gossip said, and I had no reason for regretting.

Daniel disappeared behind the wall and I came back to my group. I was glad not to see Daniel anymore during that day. I wanted to forget everything in spite of the fact he was constantly in my mind. He was, but I hoped it would be only for a while.
