She heard what professor Boa said, but she didn't say anything and just wait for him to continue speaking. Deep inside, she was pissed off. The rumor mongers had already crossed the line!
She got it that they are bored, but do they really have to use her for their fun? She heaved a deep sigh, sensing that professor Boa was waiting for her to react. He could wait but it won't happen.
She has no plan to explain herself.
"Jess, you know that I don't believe those rumors." He shifted in his seat, feeling awkward that she simply sat there with sheer disinterest.
"You are brilliant, Miss Zimmerman…and there are people that envy that. And, you not giving a fuck on what was happening around you is simply enraging them."
She snapped with sudden interest with the profanity that came out of professor Boa's mouth. The old professor has known for his cheery personality and it amused her to hear him curse.
