So I'm sitting here after dance class, listening to an overbearing mom quiz her poor eight-year old on adaptation. I don't even know half of this stuff. Poor kid. Anyway, something's been bothering me lately, especially today. I'm always waiting for this girl who has a locker above mine, and today I'm particularly annoyed. Today she's upset because Mark spread a rumor about her. Mark. I could go on and on about this guy. And yet it's just impossible to find words to describe him. One thing's for sure, he likes to make up some really interesting stories. Last year he told some boy I liked him, and when I got really confused since I barely knew this kid, Mark's strange and mean story made everyone mad and he lost a lot of people's trust. This story is actually very interesting, but it's not for right now. But, Mark is back to his old tricks. (Did I mention that I'm pretty sure he's gay. Nothing against gay people, in fact Chris Colfer is the best...getting off-topic, sorry.) Here's the thing, I gossip, don't we all? But spreading lies just to hurt others, now that is just sick. From experience, it just makes everyone sad and uncomfortable, and it stirs a lot of confusion. I really hope that people will stop making up these stories and rumors. It will spare you of the guilt and distrust. Also, we'd all be better off without rumors and lies. It distracts us from the stuff that matters: family, REAL friends, other extracurricular stuff, and as much as I HATE to say it..... school.
"I never thought I'd live to see the day, when everybody's words got in the way." Sadly true, very true.
