Chapter 91: A Weird Teacher
JULIA
I arrived at school and was receiving weird looks from people I didn’t even know of.
“Is that her?”
“I think so.”
Julia frowned when she heard her name being passed around. Fortunately, she saw Glanna and Harper right outside their classroom, talking in hushed voices.
“Hey,” I said, Interrupting their conversation.
The two of them froze and turned to me with wide eyes. “What’s happening?” I asked. “Everyone’s acting weird.”
Harper pursed her lips and faced me. “Have you heard?” she whispered.
“Obviously not,” I muttered. “Why? Is there something wrong?”
Gianna went straight to the point. “Heather is spreading rumors that you stole Evander from her.”
My frown deepened. “What?” I exclaimed.
“It’s not true, right?” Gianna asked. “I mean, there are no official articles. But you know Heather. She has quite the influence in the school.”
I ran my fingers through my hair. “Are we in high school or what?” I muttered. “I didn’t steal anyone.”
The two of them sighed in relief. “Alright, so the two of them are still together?” Gianna asked.
“No,” I answered truthfully.
The two of them were shocked once again. I clicked my tongue and let out a deep breath.
“They’ve broken up,” I said. “Now, I don’t know what Heather is spreading around, but Evan didn’t cheat on her with me–that’s one thing I’m confident about.”
Gianna sighed. “We believe you,” she said. “We just hope the others do, too.”
I shook my head. “Frankly, their opinions are the least of my worries. I just wish this doesn’t blow out of proportion,” I muttered.
“We’ll help you,” Harper quickly said. “Well, we don’t have much influence, especially not like Heather’s, but we’ll clear it up with our circle.”
I nodded as I massaged my temples. “Thank you, guys.
“Let’s head in,” I muttered. They nodded, and the three of us were about to head inside the classroom when Mr. Matthews suddenly arrived, appearing like he was in quite bad mood.
The three of us halted “Good morning, sir,” Glanna even greeted. We continued our way inside, but Mr. Matthews called my name.
“Julia,” he said.
I stopped in my tracks and turned to him, a small frown appearing on my forehead when I saw how he was looking at me. His eyes were filled with some longing and anger? What kind of combination was that?

“Let me speak with you for a moment,” he said.
Glanna and Harper glanced at each other. “The two of you, ead inside,” he instructed.
I gave them a small smile. “I’ll follow right after,” I muttered.
They nodded and went on without me. Just then, the bell rang, signaling the start of the class. I looked around the hallways, and it was already empty.
“Umm, sir,” I started off. “Don’t you have to start class?” asked.
Mr. Matthews‘ face didn’t change. He didn’t even respond right away.
Then, after a few more seconds, he finally spoke, “Why did you leave me all alone in the party?”
I couldn’t help but frown. “Excuse me, sir?” I asked.
M? You
“You were supposed to pass the project to me, left me hanging and went away with those two men. One of them is even your ex–boyfriend.”
Now, it was starting to get weirder.
“I don’t think you have to mention those details, sir,” I stemly said.
He sighed deeply. “How could I not when I waited for you all evening? Now, I have no choice but to give you even more deductions for this project.”
“It doesn’t matter, sir,” I said, stepping back. The project was only a small fraction of our grade, so I could afford to miss a couple of points.
I saw a weird glint in his eyes, and I wanted nothing more than to escape.
This was the first time I had felt so uncomfortable with Mr. Matthews. He always doted on me as a student, but this was just different.
“So, that’s it?” he asked. “I gave you so many chances–one I didn’t even give to other students–but you’re throwing it away.”
“Julia,” he said, stepping closer. My heart began to race inside my chest, and I froze, unable to move away from him out of horror. “You know I’ve always liked you, right? As a student, you were the greatest one out there. Do you know how happy I was when I heard you were coming back?”
He raised his hand to carress my cheek.
“Is there something going on here?”
Fortunately, the dean of our college passed through, and M. Matthews quickly stepped back. The usual smile on his face appeared instantly, sending shivers down my spine. It felt like the man I was talking to disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“Nothing, ma’am,” he said with a small smile. “I was just talking to Julia about a missed project.”
“Well, you shouldn’t talk about it during class hours,” she reprimanded. “Your other students are waiting.”
Mr. Matthews pursed his lips and nodded. “You’re right, ma’am. We were about to head in.”
“Well, go on,” she said, gesturing toward the door.
I didn’t waste any time. I gave her a small bow and went inside. However, the atmosphere wasn’t any better than that with Mr. Matthews.

Her eyes were bloodshot and swollen–like she had cried the entire night. I frowned as her friends continued doting on her, even glaring at me in the process.
I pursed my lips. She sure looked pitiful today. However, I knew better. She looked perfectly fine when she was at the Astor’s residence. I kept my head held high as I walked to my seat.
