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 sophomore 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 a lesbian, and that Lizzie was probably lesbian, too, because she ate lunch with me. Gordo, too.
So it was weird. I tried to make fun of the situation, but it really wasn't that funny, you know? I mean, I think attitudes at our school are pretty relaxed when it comes to all the orientation stuff, but next time, the rumor might be about something that goes too far. It's just weird, how people are so quick to believe something, something that doesn't really make sense.
I mean, Hello! I have a boyfriend!
I'm straight LIAM!
