John and his friends walked towards the class. As they entered the class, all eyes turned to look at them especially John. When John saw their gazes especially directed at him, he knew what they were thinking. He just sighed and went back to his seat.

As John sat down, he received a notification message, when he took out his phone to look at it he was shocked because the sender of the Message was Helen Johnson which read "Are you ok?".
Helen Johnson as you may know was one of the if not the most beautiful girl in campus with a sharp and elegant features and at the same time was the Class monitor of John's class. She always has this aloof, cold and indifferent personality that makes it difficult for boys to get close to her not forgetting that she was from an influential family "The Johnson Family", one of the four most influential family in Charm city. So that's why John was shocked when she took the initiative to send him a message a message.
When John read the message, he turned and looked at her and at the same time their eyes met but she still had that blank expression on her face. After some time she turned back and face the class.
"I'm fine. What could be wrong?" John answered and asked back.
"I saw the rumors and as the class monitor is my duty to make sure that all the students of this class are in the right frame of mind that's why I asked. Don't read any meaning into it". She replied back.
John just smiled wryly as if he would be ever be mad to read any meaning to it, but at the same time was touched by her concern for him even though she said that she was doing it as her capacity as a class Monitor.
So John decided to try his luck at asks all of a sudden "Do you believe the rumors?"
John waited for about 3 minutes but didn't receive any notification. He just smiled bitterly and said to himself "why would she believe him when she doesn't really know him"
When Paul saw John looking at his phone and looking towards Helen direction as well he asked playfully "who are texting with? Is it the class monitor?"
"What! No" John quickly replied and put back his phone in his pocket.
Seeing John's nervous expression, Paul still wanted to say something but the Lecturer walked in and John was relieved that he had escaped Paul's questions.
After an hour the First class of the day was done and the next class not until the afternoon. So John and his friends decided to go out.
Mostly most of the students had gone out of class and John's friends were out as well. As John as ready to go out as well, Helen Johnson passed by him and said all of a sudden "I don't believe in it"
"In what?" John asked not understanding what she was talking about.
Helen Johnson turned and faced him and calmly explain "you asked me if I believed in the rumors, so I'm telling you that no I don't believe it"
When John heard her answer he was left totally shocked because he wasn't imagining her to say that she believed in him just like that.
When Helen Johnson saw John's shock expression, she narrowed her eyes and looked at him. After some time she walked out of the class leaving John who still stood there in shock.
When John came back to his senses, he only saw her silhouette leaving. He was happy and had a jolly feeling in his heart. This comes from the fact that John and her were not close at all but she still chooses to believe in him which was pretty much uncommon for most people.
John walked out of his class to meet his friends. When they walked out of the classroom to go to the school restaurant to eat. They bumped into someone whom John wasn't ready to see yet.
