MidReal Story

Among the Girls

Anonymous

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 walking down the hallway when I felt everyone's eyes on me.

I mean, I had just transferred here, so it should've been expected, right?

But still, it was kind of overwhelming.

I heard whispers everywhere.

"Who is he?"; "Is he a new student?", "Did you see him when he was talking to the guidance counselor?", "I overheard that he's a senior";...

Their curiosity was understandable.

After all, this school was an allgirls school.

So a guy suddenly appearing here; it would've been weird if they hadn't reacted this way.

But I still didn't like being the focus of attention.

Especially since I didn't know how to react in this situation.

I mean, what should I do?

Just ignore them?

Or put on a show for them?

Or something else?

I honestly didn't know.

And I wasn't really in the mood to think about it either.

So for now, I would just adapt to the situation and see where it would take me.

And who knows?

Maybe I'd even make some new friends.

I took a deep breath to calm my nerves.

I noticed a cluster of three girls huddled near their lockers, whispering amongst themselves.

They were stealing glances at me every now and then, but they quickly looked away whenever I caught them looking.

Their uniforms were pristine, and they didn't seem as intimidating as some of the other girls I had seen so far.

So I decided to approach them first.

I adjusted my backpack, straightened my posture, and walked directly toward them.

The hallway suddenly became quieter as everyone else paused to watch what would happen next.

The three girls froze mid-conversation when they saw me coming toward them.

My heart was pounding in my chest, but I forced myself to smile casually as I approached them.

"Hi, I'm Alex," I said, trying to sound more confident than I felt.

The girl with the curly hair stepped forward and replied, "I'm Mia, and these are my friends, Lily and Grace. We were just wondering why you're here."

I hesitated for a moment before answering, "Well, it's kind of a long story, but let's just say I'm here to help the school with something important."

I leaned against the lockers and crossed my arms, keeping my eyes on Mia as I considered how much to reveal.

The hallway was still quiet, but I noticed a few other students inching closer to try to overhear our conversation.

Mia raised an eyebrow and waited for me to continue.

I took another deep breath before explaining, "The school board decided to do a social experiment. They chose me to be the only guy in this school because they wanted to see how having a boy around would affect everyone."

Lily raised an eyebrow skeptically, and I could tell she was already suspicious of me.

Grace giggled nervously and whispered something in Mia's ear.

The other students nearby were still whispering amongst themselves, exchanging glances and trying not to stare too openly at me.

Mia stepped forward, her eyes locked on mine.
