CHAPTER 5

"what? But that's ridiculous! Who is the idiot that spread such a thing?"

"I don't know, some Ron...or Ross"

"WHAT?" I feel my blood falling to my feet and leaving me completely pale and powerless. This cannot be true. "D-did you just say...Ross?" I manage to ask through my barely audible voice.

"yeah, why? Do you know him?" I hear him say but I'm not able to utter any more words. My blood has frozen inside my veins, leaving my body completely numb and incapable of moving. Why on earth would ROSS make up such a thing about me? And spread it to every corner of my High School! I refuse to believe this, it must have been some other Ross, the Ross I know would never do anything to hurt me... "RACHEL!"

"WHAT!" I cry out as if I had been stirred from a deep sleep. "what?" I say clearing my dry throat.

"Didn't you hear me? I asked you if you know the guy"

"...yeah....it-it's Monica's brother..."

"really? The geek guy?" he says laughing out loud.

"it's not funny okay!" I tell him shooting him a threatening stare. "everybody thinks I have a penis!"

"okay, okay, do you want me to beat the guy?"

"NO! no, just tell people the truth, that will be enough"

.....

This is a nightmare! A big, awful nightmare! I've denied and denied that stupid rumor over and over again but as hard as I try nobody listens to my words, they'd rather believe this baseless rumor than me, the supposed Hermaphrodite! Ugh people are really insane around here!

I was hoping this would be forgotten the next day, but god was I wrong! no matter where I go the rumor keeps chasing me like a starving animal. I hear whispers, sniggering and mocking comments all around me.

Incapable of bearing the piercing stares that are fixed on me as I walk along the crowded corridor I hasten my pace towards the ladies room. However, as I'm about to push the restroom door a hand grabs my arm with strength and pulls of me. When I turn around I find Mindy and Ashley grinning.

"Are you lost dear? men's restroom is all the way down there" Mindy says pointing towards the end of the corridor. I try to fight back my increasing rage but they don't make it easy.

"ha-ha you're always the funniest Mindy!" I say with my best sarcastic tone as I make another attempt to get in the restroom but once again, she stops me.

"I'm sorry Rach, but nothing with penis is allowed in the ladies room, you know that" Ashley says. That's it, I'm not hanging out with this two brainless bitches ever again.

"are you serious? Do you ACTUALLY believe that stupid rumor? You've seen me in bikini tons of times!"

"that doesn't prove anything Rach" definitely these two top the rank of stupidity.

"is it weird having both things down there?" Ashley quickly adds with an evil smile.

"you know what, go to HELL!" I say as I walk away from them, my blood boiling with fury and trying to block out their devilish laughter. I cannot take this situation anymore, I need to find him and hear from his very own mouth the truth, and if he actually is responsible of this, boy is he going to get an earful!

I walk through the corridors seeking him, I don't care if the bell has already rung, I'm not going back to class until I find him, otherwise this whole situation will be the death of me!
