Rumours

*Alex's Pov*

Shawn was on Ellen a few weeks ago and he was great. He said it was really fun and he brought me back an Ellen hoodie and mug.

I drive to school and I head to my locker. People stare at me but in a different way like they knew something that I didn't.

"Please tell me you didn't," Liz says walking up to me.

"Didn't what?" I ask.

"Have you not heard what people are saying?" Liz asks.

"No what have people been saying?" I ask.

"People are saying you slept with Josh," Liz says.

"They what!" I say a little too loud making people stare even more, "It's not true."

"Yeah like everyone is talking about it," Liz says, "And well."

"Well what?" I say getting really annoyed.

"They are also saying that you're pregnant," Liz says.

Then everything goes black. I wake up and I'm in the nurses office. They tell me I was dehydrated and they give me a note to go home. They go to get me some water. I lay there hearing the rain hit the roof of the building. After 10 minuets I'm allowed leave.

I walk down the halls and I hear people talk about me. 'I heard she slept with Josh' 'Well I heard she's pregnant' 'That's probably why she fainted' 'She's such a whore' 'I would die if I was her' and many other things. I see Shawn at his locker and I walk up to him.

"Hi," I say. He says nothing as he slams his locker and walks away down the hall, "Shawn, Shawn," I yell after him but he ignores me.

I quickly walk down the hall tears filling my eyes. As soon as the rain hits me I burst out crying. One of the good things about rain is people can't tell you are crying. I get in my jeep and I put my hands on the steering wheel and I rest my head on it as I cry. I can't believe I trusted him but he is just like all the others believing all that shit. I thought Shawn was different, I thought he trusted me but it was all a lie. I drive home and I run up stairs still crying. I don't even get out of my wet clothes I just lay there crying and I get a call from Hayden.

"Hey what's up?" I say trying to sound like I'm not crying.

"You're pregnant!" She yells.

"No, it's just some stupid rumour going around," I sniffle.

"Then why did you faint?" She asks.

"I was dehydrated," I say.

"So you're not," Hayden says

"No, I'm not pregnant and I didn't sleep with Josh," I say.

"Are you okay?" She asks.

"I was fine I could deal with what everyone is saying until I found out Shawn believed it and he completely blew me off," I say and the tears start falling again.

"Well I have to go Lit is about to start but I'll try tell everybody the truth," Hayden says.

"Okay thanks," I say hanging up.

I decide to call Shawn to try to explain. I call and he eventually picks up.

"I can't talk right now Bio's about to start," Shawn says and I can tell he's pissed.

"Can we talk?" I ask holding back the tears.

"I-I just can't believe you slept with Josh and you got pregnant. I, I have to go, Bye," Shawn says.

"Shawn," I say but he hangs up.

I start balling crying and I bury my head in my pillow. I eventually fall asleep to my weeps.

I can't believe the whole school thinks I'm pregnant and Shawn doesn't even believe me. Josh hasn't even been in school the last week because he is in the Bahamas with his family with no reception so he has no idea this is even going on. That's probably why the person who made this rumour chose him because he can't even shoot it down.

This year was meant to be drama free but instead it's full of it. I can't go one day without something dramatic happening. I can't wait for this year to be over.

I wake up and I'm still in wet clothes. I jump in the shower then I put on some jeans, a black bralette and a white shirt which I tuck into my jeans and leave off one sholder. I then slip on my black heels.

All morning I hear whispers of what people have to say about me. Shawn just ignores me. I sit down beside Ryan and the others at lunch. People walk by and whisper to each other. Shawn sits a few tables down and I see him stare at me a few time looking depressed. The last straw is Faith walking by and smirking. Enough is Enough. I stand up on the table and people look at me and a lot of people take out there phones.

"Everyone listen up," I yell, "I know the things you are whispering about me you are very obvious. And no I am not pregnant and no I did not sleep with Josh. So you can stop whispering and go on with your boring pathetic lives," I yell and I get off the table.

Nobody talks and I leave the cafeteria knowing everyone is going to post videos of me saying I've snapped but I don't care. I head to class and nobody goes near me all day. Shawn's in my last class but I just ignore him. As soon as the bell goes I walk out of the room go quickly to my locker and then I head to the front doors.

"Alex!" I hear Shawn shout but I ignore him, "Alex wait," he yells as I push open the front doors, "Alex."

"What Shawn?!" I yell stopping dead in my tracks and turning around.

"I'm sorry for not listening to you or letting you explain," he says.

"You know what Shawn save it," I yell, "I thought you were different but you are just like everyone else."

"What does that mean?" Shawn yells back.

"Just admit it you think I'm a slut like everyone else in this school," I yell, "But you don't know me you don't know what I've been through so you don't have the right to judge me."

"I don't know you because you wont tell me, you don't trust me enough to tell me anything about yourself that has meaning to it," Shawn yells.

"Well now I have a good reason not to trust you, you didn't even think there was a small chance that it wasn't true and you didn't even try to ask about the truth," I yell tears rolling down my face.

"I'm sorry Alex," Shawn says.

"Save your apology for someone who cares, I don't have enough energy for this. Just leave me alone, go be famous and leave me alone," I yell walking to my car.

"Alex," Shawn yells grabbing my wrist.

"Don't touch me Shawn," I yell and he let's go. I get in my car and I drive home. How did my life lead me to this.
