Chapter 24: Adding Oil to the Fire

Ayesha was not surprised at what happened. She was a tomboy and a little bit of a tyrant during her elementary days until the half of her middle school. This experience has forged her personality of not backing down when bullied. She only started acting like a girl after her mother told her that 'A woman doesn't need to act like a man to be strong.' Ayesha was a little bit teary remembering her mother.

After she reminisced, she did not stay for a second more in front of the comfort room and immediately went to the entrance of the building. She looked back to see if they are following her and sighed when they did not. Seeing that people continued staring and whispering at each other, she hurriedly went to her next class located in the adjacent building.

The class will finish at 8 in the evening. So, she went to the cafeteria to buy some snacks just in case she gets hungry. As usual, people will start to stare at her whenever she walked by but now, they whisper whenever they see her. She has already adjusted to being stared at but the whispers are making her uncomfortable.

Going through that uncomfortable feeling makes her sick so, she turned around instead and briskly walked to her next class. She never thought that rumors would spread rapidly in just three hours from the time of incident.

She was the first to arrive and gratefully sighed. 'Finally, some peace' she thought. She entered the room and went to her usual seat. After she got comfortable, she pulled a book out of her bag and started reading it. The class will start in 15 minutes, so she was expecting that her peace is short-lived.

After 5 minutes of reading, the door opened and five male students came in one after the other. She only moved her eyes to their direction and went back to her book after a glimpse. They instantly looked at her with eyes filled with desire. She felt disgusted. Thus, she hid her face with the book that she was reading.

The classroom was gradually being filled up until the professor came in to start the class. During the lesson, she could feel that the people at the back are ogling at her and she could even catch others taking a glimpse at her once in a while. She felt uncomfortable but she has to endure it until the class is finished.

When the class was done, she hurriedly went out of the classroom and made her way home. Before she reached the gate, she saw the other students huddling and whispering at each other. Not caring what is happening, she continued on her way until she heard someone yelled her name.

"Ayesha! Here! Young Master asked me to fetch you" Mr. George shouted.
