All of a sudden the noise stopped and everything became totally silent. All eyes were on Isabella and Alex.

For a few tense more seconds everyone was totally silent. It was almost like something out of a movie. The only noise that you could here was the noisy air conditioning system.

Suddenly Jake broke the silence, "There's the two druggies!"

Isabella immediately burst into tears. She had always wanted to be the center of attention, but certainly not in this way! She knew that Jake was going to make something up horrible about her, but she didn't think he would go this far.

Isabella thought that Jake might tell the class the truth, or maybe that she was a compulsive liar, or even that her and Alex were going out! But, calling her a druggie? That was pushing it a little! Now, the real question was whether or not the rest of her classmates going to believe her.

She was waiting for people to start laughing at her for crying and for kids to start crowding her with unnecessary questions. But, the class still stayed silent. They were torn between whom to believe. Why else would Isabella be hanging out with Alex? Then again, when had Jake ever told the truth?

This time it was Alex to break the silence. "Listen up, Isabella is definitely not a druggie. The only reason that I was at her house last night was because that is my new foster home. So, don't give Isabella any crap."

"Oh yeah," he said as if he had suddenly remembered something. "in case you still haven'tfigured it out I'm not a druggie either!" Alex added with sarcasm dripping from his voice.

This time the hall did not stay quiet by any means and rumors started flying around like crazy.

Who do you believe?

Are they going out?

Isabella and Alex are living together!

Isabella's on drugs?

I believe Jake!

I believe druggie!

They are both lying

I still think Alex is a thief!

I heard Jake and Alex got in a fight

The list went on and on and on.

The chaos suddenly ended a minute or two later when the warning bell rang and all the kids scrambled to their lockers, in hope of getting to class on time.

Alex found the whole situation very amusing. Nobody even confronted him or Isabella yet. Maybe they were too caught up in the rumors and the excitement of the situation to? He was kind of annoyed at himself for sticking up for Isabella. She didn't really deserve it and it would probably send more rumors flying. But, he already had a bad enough rap at his new house and school. So, maybe if him and Isabella tolerated each other things wouldn't be as bad…

Alex was snapped out of his thoughts as he heard somebody come up behind him.

"Okay druggie, instead of settling this at football practice tonight lets settle this right here and now!" Jake said, much too loudly for Alex's liking.

Before Alex could respond there was a circle of kids crowding around them, they didn't care if they were late to class this time. They had always wanted to see druggie in action, and here was their chance! The two boys just stood there in defensive positions for a few minutes as the circle grew bigger and when the final bell rang, Jake threw the first punch.
