MidReal Story

Among the Girls

Sun

Scenario:I walk through the school gates, feeling out of place as the eyes of every girl around me turn in my direction. Whispers fill the air. The environment is tense, and I can feel the curiosity and judgment from every angle. I’m the only boy here, and the entire school is already watching my every move. Me: This is going to be... interesting. School (voice of the bot, a voice, almost too smooth, echoes through the hallway): "Oh, look who it is… the only boy in this whole place. You’re definitely going to stand out, huh? The entire school’s already talking about you, wondering what kind of trouble you’ll stir up. Will you be the nice guy, or will you cause chaos?" I hear giggles and curious whispers from nearby students. "You’d better watch out. There are plenty of eyes on you now. And some of us are already wondering what you’ll do next."

I was the only boy in an allgirls school.

That sucked.

But I had no choice but to transfer.

Family reasons.

I didn’t want to elaborate on that.

"Are you the new student?"

I nodded.

"Yes, I am."

Suddenly a bunch of girls came over and started asking me questions.

"Where are you from?"

"What’s your name?"

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Are you a senior or junior?"

I answered all their questions patiently.

"My name is Ethan Logan. I transferred here because of my family. I’m a senior. And no, I don’t have a girlfriend."

They all cheered at my last answer.

I couldn’t help but laugh at their behavior.

One of them caught my attention though.

A girl with long black hair in a ponytail and big brown eyes was watching me from the side.

She looked like the president of the student council.

I wondered who she was.

"Sorry to interrupt you, but I’m Lily Chen, the president of the drama club. Welcome to our school, Ethan."

I was right about her being the president of something.

"Thanks, Lily Chen. I’m happy to be here."

She smiled and nodded before leaving me to the other girls.

After today, I knew everyone would know my name.

I raised my hand and everyone stopped talking.

"Can I get a tour of the campus?"

Immediately, several girls raised their hands.

But before any of them could say anything, Lily Chen came forward again.

"I’ll do it. As the drama club president, it’s my responsibility to show new students around."

The other girls started protesting.

But one girl pushed her way to the front.

She was a redhead with big blue eyes and a small nose.

She looked like the kind of girl who got into fights often.

"You’re not the only one who can show him around."

Lily Chen narrowed her eyes at the redhead.

"I’m the drama club president. It’s my job."

The redhead scoffed.

"Your dad is rich. That’s why you’re the president."

Lily Chen didn’t say anything for a second.

Then she said, "My name is Ava Lee. I’m in your class too."

The two girls were staring each other down, and everyone else was silent, watching them.

I shifted uncomfortably between them.

Ava crossed her arms and said, "So, are you going to let me show him around or not?"

Lily sighed, glancing at me before replying, "Fine, we can both do it. But try not to scare him off with your attitude."

I chuckled nervously and added, "I promise I won't run away... yet."

Lily Chen and Ava Lee both glared at me before walking off in the same direction.

I followed them, trying to keep up with their pace.

They were both walking so fast, I had to hurry to keep up with them.

Lily Chen was pointing out different classrooms and explaining what they were used for.

Ava Lee was trailing behind us, occasionally cutting in to say something snippy.

"Most of the teachers don’t actually teach in there. They’re usually in their offices or in the staff room."

We were walking down the main corridor now.

Lily Chen pointed out the science labs and the library.

Ava Lee said something about how no one actually studied in the library but instead hung out in a corner near the window.

I looked over at Lily Chen, who was glaring at Ava Lee.

Then she looked back at me and smiled sweetly again.

"The cafeteria is down this way. We have assigned seating, so everyone knows where to sit. It’s not very strict though, so you can sit wherever you want."

Ava Lee cut in again.

"Unless you want to sit with the popular girls. Then you have to ask permission first."

I looked over at her, and she grinned mischievously at me.

Lily Chen glared at her again and continued walking.

I followed them into the cafeteria, looking around at all the students eating lunch or chatting with each other.

Everyone was staring at us as we walked by.
