DEAR JOURNAL,

ulaz's black eye was the grain of the rumor mill today.

"i heard that guy provided drugs to a gang. when he tried to back out of it, they totally beat him up!" one rumor said.

"i think he got in a fight over a girl...? apparently this chick was willing to leave her gangster boyfriend for him. the boyfriend got so mad that he took his anger out on him." another told.

"his parents are drug dealers, and the law finally caught up with them!"

all the rumors were, of course, super far-fetched, but many were treating them as if they were the word of god himself anyway.

at least it wasn't suspicious when i asked my friends about it today.

"so, about that guy, ulaz, was it? what happened to him?" i raised the question, trying to seem nonchalant. i'm pretty sure everyone was surprised i was asking about it, considering how i didn't like to dip into rumors or events like this. but this was important, therefore it's an exception.

"i don't exactly know. everyone kinda botched the possible stories. now they'll just believe what is the most interesting to them." akira shrugged.

"bullshit, isn't it?" mirai added, leaning back onto her seat. "these rumors just fuck shit up. who knows what exactly happened to him."

i was disappointed to hear that. considering how no one had any leads on anything, i dropped it.

i may be one of the shortest boys in my grade, and i may be on the scrawnier side, but i swear to god, i'm not going to stop myself from beating up his attackers myself.

maybe i'll get lessons from mirai or something.

LOVE, HIRO.
