Gossip Can Suck

Poor Tori, I cannot believe Mike was so dumb!
Her face was completely beet red, and it was now a public announcement that Tori likes Nate. Half the class was looking at Tori as she cringed in her desk. I shook my head and Garrett mumble under his breath, “Tell me about it.” I smiled, giving him a quick kiss before class started.
Ms. Jones walked into the room all disheveled and unorganized, coffee spilled everywhere from her cup. Thankful for a distraction, Tori opened her Language Arts textbook.
Nate kept on taking quick glances back though, and, thankfully, Mike didn’t notice. Or else Nate and Tori would probably be rumored to be having a secret affair, or some kind of stupid rumor like that. I remember, once in first grade, people thought I was from Russia. I have no problem with it, but I’m 100% American. That was first grade. Gossip can bite you in the ass if you don’t pay attention. Actually, it can bite you in the ass even if you are an intelligent and quite assless person. I call it highschool.
