"What is this?"
As soon as I left the dormitory, I felt the stares pouring in. I had never experienced this on my way to school before. It must be because of what happened yesterday.
The rumors seemed to have spread already. The school is large, but it feels small at times like this.
"Tiring from the morning."
I frowned. I don't mind being the center of attention, but not early in the morning. Because I lack energy in the morning.
And because yesterday was a tiring day.
"Yawn."
I yawned once, still not fully awake, and walked on, ignoring it. Of course, I could hear the murmurs along with the stares.
"Is that rumor true? Did he really get a perfect score?"
"Yeah, I checked with a sophomore I know. It's true."
"I can't believe it, though. Did he just freeload?"
"If that were the case, would there be such a fuss? They say he solved it all by himself."
