Her eyes were drawn together when she heard what Cynthia said. There were rumors that this woman liked Paul but she just shrugged it off since she was his girlfriend and there would be no sense for her to react.
She let out a deep sigh and then she decided to focus her eyes again on the book that she was reading.
She wouldn"t let this woman standing in front of her ruin her day. She had a good sleep and she woke up happy and there was no way that she would let this woman do something that would get her out of her good mood."Wow, so you are acting as if you are innocent? God, I cannot believe this, Harmony. How could you dump Paul without any reason and then be hooking up with someone who was just riding a sports car?" She said and her voice was mocking.
Again, she chose to remain silent. As they said, she had to choose her battles and not waste her energy.
Though she wanted to laugh at what this woman was saying. She seemed to show to the other people that she was the reason why there was a breakup that happened between her and Paul. She was not aware that there was already a rumor that was spreading.Should she be glad? Because she was never aware that she was popular on campus. As she did nothing but go to her class and wait for Paul at the coffee shop.
Probably, these girls were actually spying on her because they envied her for being the campus heartthrob"s girlfriend.
And, she wished they knew that it was Paul who was the reason why they broke up and it was not about the nonsense thing that this woman was talking about.
She couldn"t help but shake her head because of the thoughts that were running inside her mind.
It seemed that the woman got irritated with her gesture.
"You gold digger!" She said in a loud voice and then she hit the table with both palms.
Harmony was caught off guard and she didn"t notice that the woman was staring sharply at her.
She was really testing her patience.
It was obvious that the woman was accusing her of something that she didn"t do and that"s being a gold digger?! For God"s sake, Paul couldn"t even buy her a coffee and yet she stayed on his side so how could she say that to her?
"I don"t know what you are talking about so please stop before I go ahead and report you to the dean"s office. I am studying and you are already bothering me," she said in a cold and distant tone.
She and Cynthia were never close so she didn"t know where she was coming from. As far as she knew she didn"t owe anyone any explanation about what happened to her relationship with Paul.
"God, why do you pester me? Why don"t you go to Paul and ask him why he broke up with me?" She wanted to say this but she just shut her mouth.
With this kind of attitude, she knew that Cynthia was deaf to her words. So, she would just be firm on her decision of remaining silent.
"What"s the commotion all about? Why are you in front Ms. Cynthia? I am not informed that you are the instructor for today," the old lady"s voice echoed inside the room. Mrs. Galves, she was one of those terror teacher they had.
She saw how Cynthia turned pale and she quickly went back to her seat.
"God, you look like an innocent sheep now," she said to herself.
Their class began but she could still feel the dagger look from Cynthia and the class lasted for an hour.
She was about to leave the room when Cynthia and her group blocked her way.
Their instructor was already gone so she knew that they would be having an attitude again.
"So, don"t go yet. Let"s talk," Cynthia said while she raised one of her eyebrows.
She just gave her uninterested look.
"Why are you not answering?" One of the girls said.
She just let out a deep sigh.
"Please, let me go. I don"t know what you are talking about, seriously," she said as she tried to hide the irritation that she was feeling towards them. They were acting like they were in high school and not mature adults.
"What do you mean you don"t know? Are you playing with me, Harmony? How dare you cheat on Paul? I just let you be his girlfriend but I didn"t think that you are a gold digger," Cynthia said in a voice that was full of anger and hatred.
Her eyebrows were knitted together while she was looking at Cynthia.
"Where did you get that information?" She said,
"You don"t care. Just answer me, do you really need to play with the man"s feelings?"God, these girls were already getting on her nerves. She had no idea what they were talking about so how was she supposed to answer them? What do they like her to do?
"Answer me, Harmony! How dare you react as if you are innocent!"
She scoffed.
"Look I am trying to be patient with you but your accusations are serious. I don"t know what you are talking about and as far as I know I don"t have any explanation. If you want to know what"s the truth, go and talk to Paul. Why don"t you talk to him instead of talking to me? Do you even know that you already wasted a couple of minutes of my time? So, if you allow me, let me go out because I have a lot to do. Important things than spreading fake news," She said and then she went out of the room.
"Harmony!"
She heard Cynthia shout her name and it echoed in the corridor but she didn"t care.
She seemed to have already lost her mind for talking such nonsense things.
