Exceprt: I walk down the hallway, my backpack slung casually over one shoulder. I try to turn my ears away from the whispering, but it's as if it stuck to my eardrum like gum to a shoe. "Have you heard?"
"Yeah, didn't she kill her parents?"
"There's no evidence, but I mean, come on, it's obvious that she did!"
"Is it true that she's never spoken a word in her life?"
"I heard that a cat clawed her tongue out when she was a baby!"
"Oh yeah, I heard that one too!"
The words just keep on spinning around me as I hold my head high and walk straight to class. Yet, their gossiping hit me like minature bombs. Maybe I should just give up... to give in.
