so today in lunch im sitting at the table, doing my thing talking with my friends
my buddy across from me goes outta nowhere "X is spreading rumors that you have knives in your bag"
now feel free to use the bag joke all you like "oh he forgets knives now?" but im being serious here
so i just get taken aback like "what the forget" and i think for a second
it was this one fat forget "girl" in social studies who told this other kid and my friend overheard the conversation
i know for a fact that my friend wouldnt lie about this because hes helped me with stuff before warning me about stuff and we've told eachother stuff thats going on back and forth so i doubt that hes lying under any circumstance
so me being me im like "forget this stuff i need to say something" so a period later i walk into social studies and keep in mind im pissed out of my mind
so i wait for the girl to enter the room and i go "why are you telling people that i carry knives in my bag" and she just stops for a second and goes "i dont know what you're talking about"
so me being the rational human being i am i say "did someone tell you that i carry knives? because i dont" and she goes "yea but i cant remember who told me"
and im sitting here like "this was literally yesterday you have to be as dead as a gnats stuff to not remember" in my head
so the other kid she told this to walks in
i go "hey X did someone tell you that i carry knives?" and he shows a look of concern/fear on his face and he goes "yes" and i say, "who told you this?" and he goes "i cant remember" and i showed him this little supply case and i pulled out my pockets and said "theres no knives in here, in my pockets, or in my bag" keep in mind im trying to be as calm as possible and not yell at anyone
and he goes "good" being scared still and then sits down
theres a whole loving list of reasons i could go on about as to why this is horrible and needs to be stopped but my two prime ones are
1. i will look like a psychopath and nobody will believe me if i dont do anything about this because i have never owned a knife ever
2. i will be socially isolated because people would be scared to even talk to me
and heres the kicker
these two people sit literally face to face in this class
i was absent on monday and tuesday, meaning that stuff could've been said around that time
so i dont really know what to do from here
