Chapter 8 is now up! Now Courtney will be in this chap and maybe other characters! Let's read:

World History, one of my better subjects. What could be better than learning about ancient Roman Empires? Well, I guess alot of things could be better, but there's something more worse: I'd see Courtney yet again. I don't know why Mr. Dumpet just HAD to assign her to sit next to me every class. He must like seeing people get humiliated to the highest extent. I just sat there, waiting for the teacher to start class while Courtney was focused on writing on her desk. I don't think she noticed me. Godd, I thought. Finally, Mr. Dumpet came into the room.

"Okay, class," He started, "Today, we will be learning about some of the first ancient Roman Empires. The first ones were built in B.C. time and.."

"Hey, Mr. D," Courtney raised her hand and cut him off.

"Yes, Courtney?" Mr. Dumpet said with a sigh. He knew Courtney always had something stupid or pointless to say.

"Why can't we learn about something that didn't take place in your time?" Alot of the class had laughed at this. Mr. Dumpet just rolled his eyes. I couldn't believe how disrespectful she was being!

"Must you always make a smart-alec comment?" I asked her irritatedly. She just smiled.

"Oh, c'mon, even you think this stuff is eye-closing! I'd rather learn about my butt!" Mr. Dumpet got irritated.

"Courtney," He started. "Either you stay here and behave or you'll be cleaning the washrooms after school the next 2 weeks!"

Courtney agreed to shutup and Mr. Dumpet continued his lesson. There was one thing Courtney and mostly all the students at this school feared and that was the school washrooms. They're known for being the most unsanitary washrooms in the county. Of course, I don't use them. I simply hold it in and I don't drink many fluids when I'm at school and I ALWAYS go before I leave for school. There's people that use them at school, but who would go in a bathroom that has used toilet paper on the ceiling and floor, rodents and bugs crawling around, beaver and possum corpses lying around, infected toilet seats, and not to mention the parasite-infested water that runs through those sinks. Courtney says they're much more worse than the washrooms in Juvi. The school washrooms are even more scarier than Courtney, I thought.

At lunch, I sat at a table eating my home-prepared lunch. I wouldn't dare consume the god-awful lunch they serve at school. If this school had better funding and MUCH more money, than the lunch food wouldn't have mold spores. Speaking of bad things, Courtney sat at my table. She had a tray of that disgusting school food I was talking about.

"Eww," I started, "I can't believe you'd actually consume that food! Do you know what's in it?" Courtney just shrugged.

"Oh well, it tastes good to me," she started, and ate a piece of the green meatloaf. "Sometimes people gotta try new things. Like you did when you kissed me." I nearly fell off my seat and looked to see that no one was paying attention to the conversation.

"Shutup, that had no meaning whatsoever!" Courtney just laughed.

"Why can't you admit it already? You know you like me!"

"No, I don't! I wouldn't ever like you because-" Then I noticed a girl talking around a bunch of people two tables away. "Oh no," I said.

"What? What happened?" Courtney was looking at the girl and we both noticed who she was. She was tall with long black hair, wore a reddish shirt and short tan shorts, and was known to be the biggest gossiper at school. She was known to talk crap and talk about everyone. No one really likes her that much. "Oh no, who's the sucker she's talking about know?" I was confused too.

"It doesn't matter. She talks alot of crap that's false anyway," I told Courtney. "She can't be talking about you or me!"

"You never know," Courtney said, "She even talks about the loneliest people of the school. I think we need to do a little eavesdropping!" I wasn't too keen on this idea.

"No way!" I started. "Eavesdropping is wrong and privacy-invading on so many levels!"

"Fine, but I guess you'll let the rumors about you spread and your life can be ruined." She actually had a point. I guess I have to do it for my reputation.

"Okay, I'll do it!"

As soon as I said this, we both started to go over there. I hope I won't here anything about me. This girl was known to damage peoples' lives because of her gossip! I just hope she doesn't destroy mine's. I'm glad I'm eavesdropping, and for some reason, even more glad because I'm doing it with Courtney. What am I hiding, I thought.

Chapter 9 will be coming soon! What is this girl gossiping about? Find out next time! Also, maybe you could share your ideas on what the gossip may be about. Who knows, maybe you'll be right!
