I returned to class after that little squabble.
When I entered the class, I noticed my classmates looking at me with weird expressions.
However, I immediately understood why. It wouldn't be strange if they already knew about my fight with Xin given how information spreads on social media like wildfire.
Anyway, there is nothing I can do about that. The class will return to normal even if I do nothing about it.
I walked to my seat and sat there.
-TING!
I just took out my phone and immediately a message appeared.
"Are you okay?"
Mia sent a message. It seems that she had also received the information about the conflict between Xin and me.
"I'm fine."
"Xin is from the same agency as me. He had been stalking me even though I clearly rejected him numerous times. I'm sorry, I had no idea he would go after you because of me."
Mia messaged me.
"It's okay! Anyway, I didn't get hurt or anything."
I reassured her.
"I will speak to Xin regarding this matter. If he causes any issues for you, you can contact me."
Mia said.
"Okay!"
Anyway, if he comes to fight me again, I could only say that he is dumb. He should already know that he couldn't beat me.
At the same time, I went through social media and I could see many posts about Xin and me.
The video and photo of me and Xin fighting had spread throughout the school. Xin was after all one of the idols that had debuted and is popular in the school.
There were also many fans of him in the school. In the comments on the photos and videos, I could see many girls cursing at me.
'Die! Die! How dare you do that to my Xin?'
'He should be expelled! Expelled! How dare he act so vicious!'
'Look what that guy did to my husband's pretty face.' …
There were many such comments thrown towards me but I could hardly care what they said.
Though I would be in trouble if the teachers got involved, however, I don't think that will happen.
Even if Xin goes to the teacher to complain, he was the one at fault. Moreover, with his reputation, I don't think he wants others to know that he got beaten up over a girl.
"Hey, Alan! Did you really beat Xin?"
Orion came over and asked.
I smiled and replied, "Yeah!"
"Sheesh! You really are great. I heard that Xin was a brown belt in TaeKwonDo. And you beat him like a child. Nice job!"
Orion said while giving me a thumbs up.
*SMACK!
Holden slapped Orion on the back of his head and said, "Tsk! What nice job? What if Alan gets into trouble? Do you have any idea how much influence idols have?"
"..."
Orion didn't say anything back. He also knew that Alan could get into trouble for beating Xin. But still he as a friend knew that Alan didn't do anything wrong.
"So what? That bastard deserves it. Wasn't it him who was looking for a fight with Alan?"
Orion said firmly. Holden was going to give him another smack and Orion shriveled back. But Holden didn't and was thinking about something.
"So what should we do?"
Holden didn't think that his friend had done anything wrong but was worried because Xin was an idol. Idols in this world are very important people and they are treated differently from your typical person. Even if the faults lie with idols, they wouldn't be punished because of their status as idols.
"Worry not! If he comes looking for me, I won't end it with just a punch."
I said. I was happy that Holden and Orion were concerned about me but there was really nothing for them to worry about.
Xin might be an idol who might possess some connections. However, was he someone I needed to be wary of? Absolutely not!
I am even being targeted by an A-List idol. Who was Xin in comparison? He should be at the bottom of the E-List idols. Those were not even real idols as their fame was really low.
"But -"
It seems that Holden was still worried about the situation.
"Trust me! There is nothing he could do to me."
I said.
*SIGH!
"Okay! However, if you need help, just ask us. We might not be very capable but we are always on your side."
Holden said while Orion nodded.
"Thank you!"
I said. I was grateful for Holden and Orion who were worried about me and trying to help me.
After that, I continued to attend class as usual.
Other than that little incident, Xin didn't appear before me. Though I was getting threatened on social media, nothing happened to me. Anyway, Xin was just a new idol and there were not many die-hard fans of him.
If he had, they should have already stormed my class and tried to beat me up. At most, the ones who like Xin might curse a bit on social media but nothing more than that.
Although I said that, my classmates did look at me differently. Were they scared?
I don't think that I appeared very violent. I just gave Xin a punch and that's all. I had seen the video and it didn't seem very violent.
Anyway, there was nothing I could do. They would soon forget about it anyway. Rumors are like feathers in the wind, it is easily forgotten.
I ended my class as normal and headed to Dreamwave Entertainment.
******
As Alan walked into the office building, the employees noticed him and began to greet him warmly. Despite being much younger and still in school, Alan was respected by them especially those who were working with him during Irina and Cecilia's debut.
Moreover, there were also rumors about Alan being some kind of relative of Director Zayden. The rumor came because of Alan being called by Director Zayden.
Another was because Director Zayden would often praise Alan and it looked like he was trying to help Alan. So, employees didn't want to get on the bad side of Alan who is seemingly a relative of a Director.
Alan smiled and greeted them back. Anyway, he was getting used to such an atmosphere after working for more than one month.
He straight away went to where Irina and Cecilia would usually practice. Irina and Cecilia had already left the school before him because they wanted to practice singing and the school would usually accept their request.
-SHUUU!
"Alan!"
Irina called out. Looking at her appearance, it seemed that she was practicing hard.
"Hey, how's the practice going?" Alan asked, smiling.
"It's going well," Irina replied. "Anyway, I want to ask you about this!"
Irina said while showing Alan her phone. Alan glanced at her phone and noticed it was the clip of him fighting Xin.
"What about it?"
Alan replied.
"Are you okay? Did you get hurt?"
Cecilia asked with concern.
Alan smiled, putting their worries to rest. "I'm fine, don't worry. It was just a small scuffle, nothing serious."
"Humph! Cecilia, didn't you watch the video? You should worry about the other guy rather than Alan."
Irina said. She did appear to be worried a little. However, she knows Alan better than anyone. She had already seen Alan getting into fights with others when she was little and Alan had never lost.
"Anyway, why were you fighting with that guy?"
Irina asked. It was not like when they were little where children fought most of the time. Alan had grown up and seldom fought with others. So, Irina was curious as to what prompted Alan to fight.
"He just came to me and started attacking me. I wouldn't have punched him if he hadn't attacked me first. It was just self-defense."
Alan replied.
Irina and Cecilia nodded. They had seen the video, though they couldn't hear the conversation. They had seen Xin attack Alan first to which Alan responded.
"Anyway, he is an idol. He might try to create problems for you. If he did, just tell me. I will let him know what it means to mess with my friend."
