Our different worlds

Kingsford Daily Drama

Monday morning, and I am thankfull for going home for this weekend the party was crazy and I tried everything to forget the craazyness of Kingsford but that didn't last much.

I froze, staring at one of the dozens-no, thousands-of fliers plastered all over campus. They clung to every wall, filled every bulletin board, and even littered the campus pathways, each one marked with the unmistakable Kingsford crest. It was a spectacle of sheer chaos, and a curious buzz filled the air as the students huddled together in groups, some laughing, some gasping. On the glossy paper on the stone walls was a headline in obnoxiously bold typeface:

THE KINGSGOSSIP

"PINK ELITE SCANDAL ROCKS THE CAMPUS: THE FALL OF AVERY MEDICI?"

The biggest party of the season delivered the scandal of the year, with the famed "Pink Elite" social queen, Avery Medici, getting blindsided in the worst way imaginable. Wandering into a private room looking for her boyfriend, Paul Tisdale, Avery instead stumbled upon him mid-embrace with her best friend, Francesca DuPont, and that was just the start!

Witnesses confirm that Avery discovered the two in a rather compromised state, with more clothes off than on. Scandalized and furious, Avery took matters into her own hands, grabbing Francesca by the hair and dragging her into the main hall for all to see. In her barely-there lingerie, Francesca was left humiliated, while Avery announced the betrayal to the entire party. Ouch!

Not to be outdone, Avery's protective older brother, Daniel Medici, immediately came to her defense. The infamous Kingsford Wild Card charged at Paul, fists flying. Friends desperately tried to hold him back, including our favorite heartthrob Max Ashford, but to no avail. It took none other than the crowds favourite Alexander Beaumont, with a single commanding look, to finally stop the fight. #thatwashotAlex

Before I could fully process it, Maeve and Julia slid up beside me, each with an expression that said guilty thrill. Maeve glanced at me and chuckled.

"Ah, the Kings Gossip. If you didn't already know, now you do-this school has zero shame." She nudged me. "Welcome to Kingsford. Or should I say, welcome to the zoo?"

I raised an eyebrow, shaking my head. "Wait, this is... real? Like, people actually write this stuff and just... post it everywhere?"

"Oh yeah," Julia chimed in, crossing her arms as she looked around. "It's our lovely in-house tabloid. Anyone with a reputation can end up as front-page material. They'll print anything, as long as it has the potential to blow up someone's life."

I shook my head, incredulous. "So people just wake up and... decide to ruin someone else's day?"

Maeve shrugged. "It's the school's heartbeat, basically. People would get bored otherwise."

I laughed, though I couldn't hide the edge of horror in my voice. "So, who actually writes this trash?"

Julia tilted her head. "Ah, and that's the million-dollar question. The writer's anonymous. Has been for years. People say it's one person, others say it's a whole team with eyes everywhere."

I squinted at the flyer in my hand. The details were sharp, almost like the writer had been there, lurking in the background. "And nobody ever finds out? Or, I don't know, questions it?"

"Oh, they try," Maeve said, a hint of amusement in her voice. "But whoever's behind this has a knack for staying invisible. All we know is that the content is disturbingly accurate, and whoever writes it is untouchable. Which makes it all the more dangerous."
