Evelyn's POV

"Have you two seen this?" Mrs. Dempsey asks as Zach and I sit down at the table

"My God, was there anyone in your class this Hannah wasn't involved with?" Mrs. Dempsey asks causing me to look at her confused

"What whatta you mean?" Zach asks

"Every day, there's another boy in this story." Mrs. Dempsey says as she shows us the newspaper

"It's not surprising that she had a reputation. I will just be glad when this is all finally over for you two tomorrow and you both are as far removed from this mess as possible." Mrs. Dempsey says

"Yep." Zach says

"So, what type of stuff do they say?" He asks as I look over at Mrs. Dempsey who's sitting in the gallery

"Well, the--the boys brag about things that they do with girls, like...sexually. Sometimes they're not even true and sometimes it gets around." I say

"And who's saying these things?" He asks and I look over at Zach and I's lawyer and he nods his head for me to answer

"Lots of kids." I say

*20 Minutes Later*

"Let's talk about the hot or not list." Dennis says as he hands me the hot or not list that's in a plastic evidence bag

"Is it true that you helped create the list?" He asks as I look over at the lawyer and he nods his head in response

"Yes. I helped make it." I say
