A/N : I've had enough. Even after I post an author's note in which I state my frustrations, people still leave harsh and nasty reviews.

One particular review that I saw was from a woman, who is a mother. She went off on how the fact that I forgot to put a comma in between University and Northridge, in my author's note, will have an effect on whether her kids go to CSUN.

Although I am minoring in Writing and Rhetoric, I do make mistakes such as those. (Excuse me for being human!) I will do a better job when it comes to proofreading my writing on here.

I appreciate constructive criticism, but when you attack me, the academic institution that I attend, and my area of study, that's crossing the line.

So from now on, all the Guest reviews that are rude and the ones that have nothing to do with the story, will be deleted. It's mindboggling that people are acting so immature. Come on, we are adults here. This type of behavior reminds me of middle school.

Many of you tell me to ignore such people, but that's not something that I can do. I will not let people like that walk all over me, thinking they can say such things like that and get away with it.

I love the support that I am getting from my readers. It brings me joy to hear that you enjoy my fanfictions, and that is why I continue to write.

And now, for the moment you have been waiting for…

Enjoy!

Christian's POV (The next day)

I woke up the next morning, with a feeling of excitement. School has never got me excited like this. But it has nothing to do with school; it has everything to do with Ana.

I hung out with her and Kate yesterday at break time and lunch. We had fun talking about pretty much anything and everything. I've never had this much fun at break time or lunch time, like ever.

I couldn't wait until I can see those beautiful blue eyes again.

My first two classes in the morning went by pretty quick. Liz was acting like she always has, leading me to believe that she has come to terms with reality. Who would have thought that would be easy?

I'm walking down the hall, minding my own business when a random guy walks up to me.

"Hey man, I don't know you, but I must say, I give you major props. You must get some nice girl on girl action." He says, patting me on the back.

This gets me confused.

"I don't know what you are talking about." I tell him.

"You know, your girl being lesbian." He says. "And she has a pretty good looking friend, so they must get it on a lot in front of you."

"Ugh, my girl isn't lesbian." I tell him. "And her friend isn't lesbian either, so you got it all wrong."

And I walk away from him.

Well wasn't that weird…

I continue walking down the hall.

"How does it feel to have a lesbian girlfriend?" One guy stops me. Another guy that I don't know.

"She isn't lesbian." I tell him. "I don't know where you got that information, but its wrong."

And I walk away from that guy.

Where are they getting that information from?

I head to my locker when I am stopped once again, by some guy.

"Is your gaydar off or something, buddy?" He asks me.

This infuriates me.

"Look, I don't know where you are getting this information from, but its wrong. My girl isn't lesbian, so I suggest you check your sources before believing false information." I tell him, raising my voice.

"Okay, okay, geez dude, calm down." He says, and walks away.

I really don't know how these people come up with these things. And the worst part is, they actually believe it.

I close my locker and am about to leave to see Ana, when I see her walking down the hall. Her eyes are puffy from crying. Okay, who made her cry?! Show yourselves so I can kick your ass.

"Hun, what's wrong?" I ask her, giving her a hug.

"Why is everyone claiming that I'm lesbian?" She asks, burying her head into my chest.

"I don't know." I tell her, running my hand down her hair. "But I will find out."

"It was horrible, Christian." She says. "They were taunting me in the girl's bathroom, saying how a guy like you doesn't deserve a girl like me."

She started to cry again.

"I'm sorry that you had to go through that, Ana." I tell her. "Don't believe them. You and I both know the truth. I just want to find out who spread this rumor so I can kick their ass."

"Who could have said such a thing?" She asks, wiping the tears off her beautiful face.

I gave it some thought. Who could have made something like that up? It seems like someone is jealous and they think that by making this up, they will get what they want.

Wait a minute... And that is when I remember that one day at lunch time when Liz and I were walking in the cafeteria. I noticed Ana sitting with Kate.

I don't remember the full conversation that we had, but I do remember her say that her sister is lesbian.

That could be Liz.

"That bitch." I growl.

Ana looks into my eyes, and raises an eyebrow.

"You know who did this?" She asks.

"Yes, I believe I do." I tell her.

"Who is it?" She implores.

"It's your sister." I tell her. "She told me that you were lesbian. I would think she did that so I won't be interested in you."

Ana looked shocked.

"Why would she make something up like that?" She asks me. "Sisters don't do that to one another."

"I know. It's the worst thing that a sibling can do to another sibling." I tell her. "I will set her straight."

I give Ana a hug, and a kiss on the head before going off to find Liz.

After looking all over the school for Liz, I finally find her in the cafeteria, sitting down with a group of girls.

"I need to talk to you." I tell her.

She gets out of the cafeteria table and we walk off to the side.

"What is it that you want to talk about?" Liz asks.

"You know what, the rumor you spread around the whole school about your sister and my girl Ana." I tell her.

"I don't know what you are talking about." She says.

"You do, Liz. You said it yourself. You think your sister is lesbian. I heard you loud and clear." I tell her. "Don't deny it."

"Well yeah, it was pretty logical to say that. I mean, she never brought a guy home until just recently and the first guy that she decides to date happens to be one of the best looking guys in school." She says. "She could be easily pretending that she isn't one, when she is."

I could not believe what I was hearing. Did this girl have any love for her sister?

"I can't believe you, Liz. It's crazy to think that you would actually say something like this about your sister, your own flesh and blood. Do you have any idea of how upset she is right now? A group of girls taunted her about it in the girl's bathroom. When I saw her, she was crying. And it was because of that stupid rumor you spread around school." I tell her, in an angry fashion with my voice raised. Others were walking by and took notice of it.

"I didn't spread the rumor." She says. "It could have been someone else."

"No, it was you. Now that I made it clear to you that I have no interest in dating you, you made this up because you think that I would be so foolish into believing such a thing about Ana." I tell her. But I'm not stupid. I know that's not true. Ana likes me, and I like her. She is special, she is friendly, she is beautiful, and one thing I know for certain, is that she would not make up false rumors about her sister."

"I didn't spread the rumor." She says again.

"You can say that a hundred times, and I still won't believe you." I tell Liz. "You might be a good looking girl on the outside, but on the inside you are a very cruel and insensitive person. You don't care about anyone but yourself. And that is very unattractive. In fact, it is quite repulsive. I'm glad that I never got a chance to date you, because I wouldn't want to date someone like that. "

"That was uncalled for, Christian." She says, crossing her arms. "And you know something, your meaningless words that you told me also make you repulsive."

"At least, I don't spread fake rumors about people and I know for sure, that I'm not a liar." I tell her.

And then walk away.

I don't have anything left to tell her. I told her everything that I had bottled up inside of me ever since I saw Ana crying and ever since those guys stopped me in the hallway, asking me those stupid questions.

I couldn't handle standing there and listen to her tell me that she did not spread the rumor. I know she did. I know the exact reason why she did it. But unfortunately, it won't work out that way for her. She won't get what she wants in the end.

Ana's POV

Kate had a dentist appointment in the morning, so she wouldn't be there during break time, today. This allowed be to spend some one on one time with Christian.

Things with Christian have been going well, VERY well for that matter. We are going to go on a movie date this Saturday, which I am very excited for.

I decided to stop by the girl's restroom, to freshen up.

When I walked in, there were two girls that were washing their hands. They turned to look at me, as I passed by and stood behind them, patiently waiting my turn at the sink.

One is done at the sink and walks off to her friend.

I lather my hands with soap and then wash them. I notice that the two girls are still to my left, talking amongst themselves. Then one mumbles something and both of them, laugh.

"Aren't you that girl who is with that very attractive guy?" One of them asks me.

"You mean, Christian?" I ask them. They both nod.

"Yes." I answer.

"That's so unbelievable." One of them says. "Why would he go after a lesbian?"

Say what?

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"Well, you are lesbian and he is straight. It's just weird that he would go after you, knowing that you are lesbian." The other says.

"You got it all wrong. I'm not lesbian." I tell them.

"Really? Because you seem really close with that girl, a little too close I should say." One says to me.

"That's my best friend Kate." I tell them.

"You mean your partner?" One says, as though she is correcting me.

"No, she's my best friend." I tell them once again. "Definitely not lesbians."

"Why can't you tell Christian the truth?" One of them asks. "He's gonna find out the truth eventually, so there is no point in hiding it."

I run my hand through my hair. Do these girls not understand that I'm not lesbian.? Where exactly are they getting the information from? Who gave them this information?

"He knows the truth. He is well aware of the fact that I am not lesbian." I tell them, in a furious manner. "I don't know where you are getting this sort of information from, but it's not true."

"What are you afraid of?" One asks me. "Are you afraid that your parents might find out that you are lesbian and not accept you as theirs anymore?"

"I'm not afraid of anything." I say. "And for one thing, my parents wouldn't disown me even if I was lesbian."

At that point, there was really no reason for me to be in the restroom. I was done washing my hands and the conversation I was having with these two girls wasn't getting anywhere.

But I couldn't leave the restroom. They both blocked the doorway.

"Listen girl, make it fair for everyone and tell Christian the truth. Let him have a chance with a girl who deserves him and not you. You definitely don't deserve him. You are no match for him. Just a plain Jane type, and nothing more." They say.

I push past them, hearing them snicker as I walk away. Tears are now covering my cheeks as I briskly walk.

Soon I come face to face with the grey eyes that make my heart go crazy. Christian wears a look of concern when he sees me. I bury my face into his chest, feeling better once he starts to run his fingers through my hair.

I tell him everything and he reassures me that he will get to the bottom of this.

A few minutes later, his face made it clear that he knew who made this up.

I asked him who and was appalled to hear that it was my very own sister who spread the rumor.

This made me very upset. Hello, we are supposed to be sisters. Sisters aren't supposed to spread rumors about each other. How can I call her my sister now, if she does this to me? And why does she do this? She thinks that because she makes a rumor up its going to get her back to Christian?

He gives me a hug and a kiss, before storming off.

"Dad, can you pass me the green beans?" I ask.

We are at the dinner table, having panko crust and parmesan breaded chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans.

The green beans were right next to Liz, but I wasn't on speaking terms with her, hence why I asked my father to pass them to me.

Dad looked confused, but seeing how the green beans were in between him and Liz, he passed them to me, without asking any questions. But my mom knew something was up.

"Okay, what's the matter with you two?" She asks. "You two have been silent over the course of this dinner. I have yet to hear you guys speak to one another, and I don't like that. I would like to know what is going on."

"Nothing is going on, mom." Liz speaks up. "We are just eating here."

Oh really? Nothing is going on. The rumor is nothing to you? You're just pretending like you feel no guilt at all.

"Family dinners are a time to eat and share about how your day went. And I have yet to know how yours or Ana's went." Mom says.

"Well mine was good. It was the usual stuff." Liz says.

Does making up a rumor about your sister count as the usual stuff? Because if it does, I want nothing to do with you.

"What about you, Ana?" My mom asks.

"It was alright. Nothing interesting." I lie, I take a fork full of mashed potatoes. And at that very moment, I see my mom looking right at me, in the corner of my eyes.

"I know you two are lying." She says. "Mothers know when their children lie."

"We aren't lying." Liz says.

"Well, one of us isn't." I say.

Liz looks over at me.

"What are you talking about?" She asks.

"Are you going to tell mom or should I tell her about what you did?" I ask her.

"Ana, I don't know what you are talking about." She says.

"Fine." I say. "Mom, Dad, my oh so wonderful sister over hear, made up a rumor about me. Apparently, I'm a lesbian." I say, in a sarcastic manner.

Dad drops his fork and my mom covers her face.

"Liz, is that true?" She asks.

"I didn't make that rumor." Liz says. "It could have been someone else."

"No, it was you. Christian told me that you said that I am lesbian." I say to her.

Liz begins to turn red.

"I am just shocked." My father says. "Why would you do such a thing?"

"I didn't do anything." Liz says.

"But you aren't denying the fact that you told Christian that I'm lesbian?" I ask.

"I may have said that, but I didn't say that you were in fact lesbian. I said that since you have never brought home a guy or because you are shy around guys, I just assumed that you are. But you aren't, you're with Christian, so it's obviously not the case. "Liz says.

"Liz, I am very disappointed in you." My mom says. "I can't believe that my own daughter would do such a thing."

"Is it because you are jealous?" My father asks Liz.

"Jealous of what?" Liz asks, looking confused.

"Of Ana." My father answers. "Now that she is with Christian, you are jealous of that. Hence why you made up that rumor."

"I'm not jealous of Ana." Liz says. "I mean, sure I am a little confused as to why he had changed his mind about dating me and went off to date my sister, but I guess with time everything will make sense."

My father runs his hand through his hair.

"Again with this boy drama." He mumbles. "When is it going to end?"

"Ray, they are teenage girls. Of course there will be boy drama." My mom says. "I just think someone went a little too far with it."

"Hey, I did not go far with anything." Liz said. "Christian told me that we will be a thing with time and it was getting there. And then something dawns on him. He changes his mind and is now with my sister. I don't think I went far with anything."

"Well now that he is with Ana, I think that you should move on." My mom says. "It wasn't meant to be."

"That is what I am doing." Liz says, taking a drink of water.

"Then why did you spread that rumor about your sister if you say that you are moving on?" My father asks. "That's what I don't understand. I admire that you put goals in front of yourself and do whatever it takes to achieve them, but in this case, if things aren't working out, then it's better to just leave them be. This isn't your battle to fight."

"I didn't spread the rumor." Liz says once again.

"You told that to Christian." My mom says. "Somebody must have heard you say that and that is how the rumor was created."

What my mom doesn't know is that's not how it happened. My mom doesn't know that Liz has a new set of friends at school. She could have easily told them the same thing she had once told Christian and that is how the rumor was spread.

She made them believe that I don't deserve Christian and like dumb driven cattle, they decided to go with what she is saying, and spread that nasty rumor about me.

"It doesn't matter how the rumor was spread, Carla. The fact of the matter is; the rumor is out there. And who knows how long it will be before its forgotten." My father says. "All I know is, that kind of behavior is unacceptable and Liz should be punished for it.

"Ray, that's a little too much." My mom says.

"No its not. I can't have her thinking that what she did is acceptable behavior." My father says to my mom. "I know I didn't teach her to act in this way. And I can't believe that my very own daughter would do such a thing to her sister."

"So what were you thinking?" My mom asks my father. "A week of no television?"

"That would be too easy." My father says. "I would say she will be grounded for a week. And that entails not hanging out with friends on the weekend. She only goes to school and back home. A week without television will be included in that as well."

"Dad, that's not fair." Liz protests.

"Yes, Raymond." My mom says. "That is definitely not fair. It's a little too much."

"It might be, but at least she will understand to never spread false information about someone ever again." He says. "It will be a way for her to learn that."

Liz walks out of the table and heads up the stairs to her bedroom. She slams the door shut.

"This isn't the Marine Corps." My mom says.

"I know that it isn't, but I will not have a daughter of mine think she could get away with that kind of behavior." My father says.

"We will discuss her punishment later." My mom says, clearly not seeing a compromise.

"Yes we will." My father says.

And at that point, dinner is over. I help them clear off the table and once that is done, I walk up to my bedroom, to do some studying and get ready for bed.

Liz's POV

"Did you hear?" Niki asks as we sit at the table in the cafeteria. "It's all over school. Ana is lesbian."

"Yes, I sure did." Tara says. "Maybe Christian will realize what a mistake he did."

"I would hope so." Victoria says. "A guy like him shouldn't be with a lesbian."

"How did it get all over school?" I ask them.

We just had this conversation yesterday and I actually thought it would stay in our little circle, but it somehow managed to get out.

"I was in the girl's restroom yesterday and I ran into Sarah. We started talking about Christian and Ana, the girl who is with him, came up in the conversation. Sarah agreed, but it was only after the conversation that I realized that Sarah is a notorious blabber mouth." Niki says, biting her lip as if to show that she made a mistake.

Well ain't that just wonderful. I did not expect this to happen. I just hope that Ana brushes it off like it's nothing. She knows the truth. And for one thing, I didn't say that she was in fact a lesbian; I said that she could be one.

We sat and talked about other things, when Christian came towards our table, looking unhappy. He wanted to speak to me so I left the table and went off to the side to speak with him.

He was furious. He kept telling me that I was the one that spread the rumor. He said that although I am pretty on the outside, I'm ugly on the inside for what I have done.

And that really hit me like a semi on a highway.

It made me upset, but it also got me angry.

He was the one that was ugly on the inside as well. He was the one that threw meaningless words in my face. I believed that I had a chance with him. And now I don't because he has changed his mind.

He told me that he is glad that he didn't date me because he wouldn't want to date someone who does that to their sister.

And that really hit the spot.

I don't really remember the conversation from that point. I went back to the table. The girls were interested in how the conversation went. I just told him that he was talking about something that was school related and had nothing to do with the rumor. Honestly, I was getting tired of all this talk about the rumor. It's going to be old news, sometime soon.

But the conversation about the rumor did not stop at school; it carried over to my house.

Ana had brought it up during dinner. Great…

My parents were definitely not happy about it and they did not take my side, no matter how many times I said that I did not spread the rumor.

The person who had the most surprising reaction was my father. He did not like this at all.

He even suggested that I might be jealous of Ana, and that I should be punished for my behavior.

My mom thought that a punishment of a week would be too much for me, once Dad turned down her idea of no tv for a week.

At that point, I had left to my room. I really needed to be alone.

As I laid there in my bed, I thought about everything.

I didn't think that what I had told the girls yesterday would turn into a rumor. I thought we would just gossip about it and then forget about it, like it was old news. But I guess I thought wrong. Now I'm like a criminal, awaiting my punishment.

My father's words still echo in my head. What if I am jealous of Ana?

Although Ana is the plain type, she is very smart. She never had problems in school. My parents were always gushing about how smart she is. And I never got that. School was never my thing and it was always by some miracle that I managed to pass my classes without putting forth much effort.

And even though she is plain, Ana managed to snag herself a very attractive guy. Even the guy before Christian was good looking as well. She did all of that without even trying; I give her huge props for that.

Maybe my father is right…. I am jealous of my sister. And that must have driven me to act the way that I did.

As I lay there staring at the ceiling, I come to something and I don't like it at all. But it is the truth and it hurts. Tears begin to roll down my face as I run the thought through my head : I am one jealous bitch. Nobody, apart from my new friends, like me anymore. I've only cared about myself for the past couple weeks. I could have cared less about what was going on in the world of my family. I was after Christian. That's all that I really cared about. And now that its out of my reach, I've came down to reality. I've ashamed my parents. My own sister doesn't even want to be my sister anymore.

The truth is, although I'm not the best sister in the world, I still love Ana. I just do a horrible job of showing it.

I really need to make a change. I cannot live like this anymore. I want to be back to where I was when the school year started, that place where Christian did not exist.

I need to let go of everything that has happened and move on. I have to change myself because if I don't, everything will stay as it is now. And I'm really not liking that.

I have to show everyone that I'm not a heartless, jealous bitch.

And I shall do that starting tomorrow!
