Chapter 52 More Rumors

• Victoria's glaring stare didn't hurt me when I left English Lit., but I still had to endure looks from her till lunchtime. By then, I was boiling over with rage for being the target of the school's infamous rumors. I had committed no immoral acts! I didn't sign up to be asked if I was "dating" Tyrone; I only wanted to be his friend and support him through his loss.
• I was initially astonished by the ridiculousness of the inquiry, but soon, I got annoyed and wanted to bite off every questioner's head.
• There was no chance that I would ever go out with Tyrone. Not after all that he had done to me in the ninth grade. To fall into that trap again, I must be the world's most foolish person. Taylor was there to comfort and mend my wounded heart the last time that happened. I was able to move on from Tyrone after a protracted period apart, but it didn't mean I forgot how awful it was.
