"Emily Simpson, are you really dating Classmate Smith?" Andrew Cooper stood by her desk, eyeing her nervously.
For some reason, his complexion seemed a bit off today.
Dating? The moment she heard those two words, Emily Simpson was taken aback and quickly wanted to deny it.
But before she could speak, a somewhat shrill voice interrupted.
"Emily Simpson, to think I considered you a good friend, yet you went behind my back to date Lorne Noah Jackson! That's too much, you knew I liked him!" Amelia Taylor suddenly walked over, pushing aside the girl next to Emily, pointing at her indignantly and questioning her.
Amelia Taylor was a classmate Emily Simpson had met in high school. With good grades and a pleasant appearance, she was quite popular at school.
Emily Simpson was stunned; she never expected that yesterday afternoon's incident would have led to such wild rumors.
"We... we're not dating," she cleared her throat, only able to clarify in all seriousness.
