Chapter 24 - Lennon- Rumors don’t matter

"Hey guys! Wait for me!" As they existed the dormitory, a familiar voice called out to them.

They turned around and saw that it was their friend.

"Grey" Blaine called out his friend's name.

"Good morning" He added.

Greyson approached them and stood beside them.

There was someone else who came with him.

"Good morning, Mr. Greyson." Otto politely greeted him.

"Morning" Greyson greeted him back with a smile.

"And, just call me Grey. All my friends call me that." He added with a chuckle.

"O-okay… Grey" Otto responded hesitantly with a slight smile and nodded.

"Anyway, who is this?" Blaine asked Greyson, pointing his eyes toward the person standing next to Greyson.

"Let me introduce you to him. This is my roommate, Lennon." Greyson said with a calm smile.

"I am Lennon Milestone. It is a pleasure to meet the both of you." Lennon politely greeted Blaine and Otto with a slight bow.

Lennon had a slim body of average height with a fair skin tone and dark black hair with dark blue eyes with dark green hues.

"I'm Blaine and the pleasure is all mine." Blaine politely greeted him back.

"I'm Otto and it's a pleasure to meet you too." Otto politely greeted him back as well.

"B- are you That Mr. Blaine?!" Lennon asked with a surprised expression.

"Yeah yeah, he's That Mr. Blaine." Greyson said with an annoyed expression.

"Is this the friend you were talking about?" Lennon asked Greyson.

"Yeah. That's him." Greyson replied casually.

"B-but… you didn't say that your friend was going to be Mr. Blaine!" Lennon said with a hint of anger.

"Ahaha… I guess you have heard of the rumors as well,. Huh?" Blaine asked with a chuckle.

"Ah, yes…" Lennon replied with hesitation.

"I see." Blaine said calmly.

"I usually don't care about such things as rumors, but I do wonder what they are that everyone who hears of me gets that surprised when they meet me." Blaine said calmly as he put his right hand on his chin.

"They are all kinds of rumors. More bad than good. But nobody would say anything to your face because of Miss Janika and the Headmaster. They can't afford to make enemies of the Circe Household with the Royal Family backing them." Lennon replied calmly.

"And I know exactly how it feels to have rumors about you circulating. Though I always just shrug them off." He added.

"The Royal Family is backing us? I didn't know that." Blaine thought internally.

"I personally don't care about rumors as well. I don't have the right to judge someone else when I don't even know them." He added.

"So I was just curious when I heard about you, that's all. And I hope that you do forgive me if I was rude." He added again and bowed his head.

"Hey. It's okay. Don't worry about it. You were not rude at all." Blaine said with a gentle smile.

"Unlike the people I saw yesterday who were glaring at me." He added with a hint of annoyance.

"Yeah I know" Lennon said with an expression that says he knows exactly how Blaine feels.

"I try my best to just ignore them." Lennon added.

"I have been doing the same." Blaine added as well.

"They are just a bunch of nuisances and cowards." Lennon added again.

"You're right!" Blaine added as well.

They both looked at each other for a second and paused. And they both chuckled.

In the midst of them talking they had completely forgotten about the other two(Otto and Greyson) who were standing beside them.

"Hey guys. Did you forget that we were here as well?" Greyson asked with an annoyed and angry expression.

"Oh, sorry about that Grey." Blaine apologized for leaving them out of the conversation.

"Yeah, sorry Grey." Lennon apologized as well for the same reason.

"No. It's alright. It's good that you were connecting through that conversation." Greyson replied with a deep sign.

"Hehe. It looked like they were having fun talking so I didn't wanted to disturb them." Otto said with a chuckle.

"Anyway, let's go! This is our first class as freshman and we don't want to be late, now do we?" Greyson said with big smile on his face.

"Yeah, let's go!" Blaine replied with a slight smile and nodded.

All four of them grouped together and started walking toward the school's main entrance to go to their first class of the year as freshman students of The Academy of Magic.
