How I fell for a girl?

Chapter 2 : Rumor
After that, every 4 p.m to 4:30 p.m after school became my favorite time of the day. I would go there even I have many important things to do. It's not easy to become such a perfect guy. I was just born with a brain and a look. To be athletic and excellent at school requires both the time and the effort. I've to get up at 5 a.m and sleep at midnight. My daily routine is full with practices and studies. But the dull, boring and exhausting life was saved by a guitar sound. It was such a breather to have her.

After I have asked her to play guitar for me, I did a background search on her. She do not have a mother and grew up with her father. She is an ordinary student with average grades. She hasn't received any awards even the perfect attendance. She is not in any club or extra-curriculum activities. She is like a thin air, totally blending in with the crowds. She would not say a word to me at school. To the point that I wondered whether she does not like guys. Seriously, who can resist me and my charming smiles?

But still, I kept people at my arm's length. So, I've many acquaintances but little friends. After we've done our music time for a week, the rumors start to spread around the school. The vicious one says she bewitched me. The romantic one is we're dating. Nonetheless, I don't care about the rumors. But when a guy and a girl are in scandals, the girl bounds to get hurt. I don't want her to stop playing guitar for me. Her attitude and everything about her is cold but her guitar sound surely brings warmth like spring.

"Have you heard of the rumors about us?"
This is the first time she spoke to me over a week time. I was both happy and scared.
"Yeah, so? Do you care about the rumors?"
"No, I just don't want you to get hurt and I want to clear that I didn't start the rumors but some girls at our school saw me getting into your car and they start to speculate."
"I said I don't mind."
"Why are you living in this apartment alone?"
I was glad that she took an interest about me. She wants to know about me? Every evening after school, we'd come together to my apartment and every 4:30, she went back without even saying farewells.
"Why? Are you interested in me?"
"No, I was just asking for my safety."
Oh, I wanna hate that devil may care attitude but why can't I?
"It has been a week and I didn't do anything to you. Don't you think it's a little too late to concern about your safety?"
She looks like she wanted to say something but hesitating to further continue this conversation. Then, she did an unexpected  thing which is she played my favorite Canon in D by Pachelbel. The classic music came to life between her fingers. I've never heard someone played classical music with guitar here. The first time we met, she made me interest in her. Now, she made my jaws drop. I seriously am anticipating the next next times when she would surprise me.
"I'm not worried about my safety. I know best a guy like you won't touch a girl without consent. Either you are being a gentleman or afraid of girl, I'm fine with it."
She then walk out without waiting a reply for me. Did she insult or complement me, I don't know but the one thing I know is she took an interest in me. We finally took one step.
In the following days, our lives still remain the same. She remains poor in wealth and in study as ever but I remain as popular high school student until midterm exam. My total for overall subjects has 5 points lower than last exam. Even though, I still am 1st in the whole school. I can't let this continue but I hate to give my time up with her. But if my mom knew, she would transfer me to another school of course. So, I made a honeytrap for her of course.
