A small smile played over Aleron's lips once more at the sparkle in Aurelia's eyes, making him cock his head slightly as he listened to what she had to say about the book. Journal. Whatever it was, exactly. He looked as if to say something more but was interrupted, and his gaze immediately went to the cheerleader, only for a frown to claim his handsome features when he looked back to Aurelia, mentally scowling.<br/><br/>"You shouldn't let them get to you." He strangely stated, not even bringing up anything of any rumors. He hated the damn things and never really believed them. They were just stories from people who had nothing better to do than try to ruin someone else's life, as far as he was concerned. "They just say those things because they don't know what else to do with themselves. And- I wouldn't be surprised if most of the girls were jealous of you, either." That frown turned into a half smile at his hidden compliment.<br/><br/>"I know I never believe them."
