Character Pairings: None
Other Notes: This chapter has a lot of hate of confusion in it. It's now May, and someone has started a rumor. Guess who it's about.
Chapter Twelve: Murderous Case
I was on my way to Gym class, right after lunch, and Jin came running up to me. She is one of my friends, but not close like Toph and me are.
"Katara, did you hear the latest rumor about you?" Jin said, catching me before I went into the locker rooms to change.
I groaned/sighed. The idiots in my life at school liked to keep school interesting. "No, what is it this time?"
Jin quietly explained. "Someone said that you have a hit list and want to kill."
I froze there. I remember hearing about the school in Ba Sing Se, that a kid got a gun and killed himself and several other students. (In the real world, the Virginia College incident). I did not want the principles thinking that if they heard.
"Any idea who made it?"
Jin shook her head, then had to go to class.
Over the next two classes, I heard this comment the most 'Am I on your hit list?'. I swear I felt like saying yes, and taking my waterbending out on them.
But it got serious. Last period, the principles came to me, and i had to talk with them, explaining that I didn't have hit list. They belived me, of course. I had a good student record.
And, if you think it can't get worse, think again.
I was playing on my computer, writing online, and I head the telephone rang. I froze a few minutes later when my Dad said 'She wants to kill?'
I froze. I knew who he was talking to. My principle.
Later that night, I explained everything. Sokka got very mad, and wanted to fight the guy who had the nerve to say that.
They believed me, knowing I wouldn't do that.
But it left an emotional scar on me forever.
And nerves only got worse when i realized the next day that the graduation was in two weeks.
Author's Note: I know only have 14 chapters. lol, I knocked off a chapter. And this is a short chapter, I know.
This chapter, in my life, really hurt me. None of it, the rumor, is true. The story is, the rumor isn't. So no, I do not have a hit list.
I hate rumors. That tortured me for days.
Now, onto Alina's review question that I recieved moments ago. No, I haven't thought of a title. Any ideas?
