I started the Rumors...

Rumors are so stupid. It started in AP English.

For those of you that don't know, I go to North Hillridge. Lizzie and I have AP English second period. We had a test, and I finished it, so I put my pencil down and look up, and Lizzie's looking at me. So I just *mwah* blew her a little kiss, and she returned it. It's like, no big deal, guys. We do that stuff all the time.

So then we're at lunch, and Gordo says, "I think you have a fan club." He notices that these freshman boys sitting two tables away keep looking at me, and huddling together and whispering, and then sneaking peaks back at me. So of course, I check to make sure my bra strap hasn't fallen off my shoulder, and I ask Lizzie if there's something on my face.

And then these two seniors, Mallory and Madison, walk past our table carrying their lunch trays, looking straight at me and raising their eyebrows.

You see what's happening, right?

As I'm entering Biology with CJ, Liam (he's a cute Swedish exchange student) comes up to us and says, "Is it true that you're lesbisk?" (I guess Swedes can be pretty blunt that way).

CJ was like, "what?"

So I put my arm around her waist and said to Liam, "You got a problem with that?"

CJ just gawked, and Liam stammered, "No, I think is nice?"

I smiled and said, "Is nice."

So by the end of the day, half the school had heard that I was gay, and that Lizzie was probably gay, too, because she ate lunch with me. Gordo, too.

So it was weird, and stupid. I tried to blow it off, but it kind of hurt, you know? Not the gay part! I mean, I think attitudes at our school are pretty relaxed when it comes to all the orientation stuff. I'm actually pretty proud of some of the things our school does to show support. I have a cousin who's gay and I idolize her. But it's just that next time, the RUMOR might be about something that goes too far. It's just stupid, how people are so quick to believe something, even if it doesn't really make sense.

I mean, Hello! I have a boyfriend!

I am not a lesbisk.

Unless you consider that lesbisks like girls. In which case, I guess I am a lesbisk.

Aw, screw it.

I'm in San Diego, too. I go to Mt. Carmel. Where is North Hillridge?

You're smokin'. Will you marry me?

No way that could possibly be true, Miranda. We both know that you and I are meant to be together. You're hot for me, always have been, go ahead admit it.

Nothing like that happens at my school. :pout: I wanna transfer.

And seenoevil? Miranda's way too classy for you. But, yes, she is smokin'.

I'm gonna be late for practice.

Tudge, you're delusional.

Hi, Miranda! Austin told me you had a new blog, just thought I'd stop by and say hi! And don't worry about any of that crap that happened in school the other day. People are idiots.

Hi, Veruca. I didn't know you knew Austin.

I've been meaning to stop by, when I heard you sprained your ankle, yesterday. Hope you'll be in class Monday.
