Hanji's POV

I passed with a 91% on my math exam. Levi was a little stunned but kept to his promise. Winter break came and went. Levi's birthday was fun to celebrate- mostly because it was just mainly sex. The first day of school... back to reality... it didn't start well.

As I entered the school, the stares and judgment began to fall onto me. My classmates stared at me with their phones out, whispering to each other and laughing softly. The stares didn't stop there. When I entered my classroom, I caught a few sentences that they were whispering.

"That's her? No way."

"I never expected it from her..."

"Who is she with?"

"Little whore."

A glimpse of hope arrived when Nanaba walked into my classroom, but she had this face of disturbance plastered onto her. Before I spoke to her, she quickly grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the classroom. We retreated into the janitor's closet- which is a little... odd.

"Na-."

"Hanji, why did you walk into class? I thought you wouldn't come to school today."

"Why wouldn't I? It's the first day of school back from winter break."

Nanaba shook her head, sighing heavily. "You didn't see it, huh? I feel bad for you..."

"Bad? Nanaba, what's going on?"

My questions were answered as soon as Nanaba pulled out her phone. What she showed me... my eyes widened. It... was me... in my car... half-naked. I can't remember the exact day it was taken, but I know that Levi was on the bottom, and I was riding him in my car. It wasn't just one picture. It was around 5 pictures. My breasts were shown in clear daylight...

"H-How-."

"I don't know who did that. Tell me honestly, Hanji, is this you who is having sex in your car? I need to know because if you weren't, then someone has photoshopped-."

"It's me... yeah... I did..."

"I... you never told me you were dating someone... so this is you, huh? Hanji, you have to know that you're going to be sent to the principal office. Your parents are going to kill you... better go home now-."

"Hanji Zoe, please report to the main office. Hanji Zoe, please report to the main office. Thank you." 

"Too late..." I whimpered, crashing my face into Nanaba's shoulder. "What am I going to do...?"

"Just tell them the truth?"

"How badly do you think I'm going to be punished...?"

"Honestly? No car for a week. No phone for 2 weeks. In-school suspension. It can't be that extreme..." Nanaba hugged me, sighing softly. "It's going to be alright... okay? I'll see you as soon as I can. I'll go to every one of your classes to get your homework and notes. I'll give them to you after every day."

I smiled softly. This is what I love about Nanaba. Such a great friend...

"Wish me luck..."

"I hope you'll get out of this alive, Hanji."

"This is unacceptable, Ms. Zoe." Principal Rogers shook his head as he continued showing me the shameful pictures. I didn't even take them- these were taken without my consent. I know Levi didn't take them, otherwise, he'll be under investigation with me. And I wouldn't throw him under the bus...

"Having these photos on the internet for everyone to see- especially in high school."

"Mr. Rogers, I didn't post these-."

"But according to the information on these photos, these were taken on school grounds. This is inappropriate. Who were you with?"

"A-A friend-."

"Do they attend this school?"

I shook my head, trying to protect him as best as I could. It's okay if I'm the only one in trouble. I barely have any reputation to protect. Besides, Levi wants to teach as a math teacher shortly. I can't betray him like this.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. He doesn't attend this school!"

Mr. Rogers nodded his head before he picked up the school phone. "I have to call your parents, Hanji. You're suspended from school. This is just an in-school suspension for 5 days starting today. Is there someone you want to pick up your stuff?"

I almost said Levi's name, but I muttered Nanaba's name as he began to talk to my parents. I could hear Dad's angry shouting. I'm in so much trouble...

When they came and escorted me out, I caught a glimpse of Levi. He wasn't looking at me... how is he going to react to those photos of me? Of course, they didn't have Levi's face in them... just me... I wish I could've avoided that...
