1.11: Rumor Has It
Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

Chad got a text from Will to go ahead and grab food and a table as Will was running late on meeting Chad in the cafeteria. Grabbing a tray with a few slices of pizza, Chad found an empty table where he and Will could have lunch together.

As he took a seat, he noticed that someone said his name in conversation at a nearby table. He tilted his head to the side a bit to see if he could hear what the other table was taking about. "You know that Chad lives with Will Horton? I hear that they are more than friends," claimed one voice.

Another voice at the table responded, "Well it would make sense since both of them live with Sonny Kiriakis. Chad and Will probably are dating."

Chad looked back at his food; his appetite was now gone. He pulled out his phone and sent Will a text: "Will, I am not feeling too well. I think I should just head back to our place to see if I can feel better before my next class." After sending the text, Chad quietly stood up and threw his food in the trash.

As he was heading out of the cafeteria, Chad spotted Will, who was reading Chad's text. Chad snuck out and was able to avoid Will as he left the building. He got a text from Will that said: "Are you still here? I can just go back to our place with you and eat there. Maybe I can make you feel better."


Chad got in his car and responded: "I already left a while ago. Maybe you could have lunch with someone else in there. Sonny could be in there. Don't worry about me." Chad drove off feeling a bit guilty for lying to Will. He knew he had to do something to stop people from spreading those rumors about him and Will even if they were true.
