Rain:499: Word of Mouth

Synopsis

Rain tells the others that she partially came out to Drew. Gavin warns her that Drew likes to gossip and that he might not keep her secret. However, Emily asks Holly by text for the latest gossip, and Holly responds with the incorrect claim that Maria and Chanel were expelled for making out in the locker room.

Author Notes

Good thing no one fact checks gossip in high school.

You'd have to wonder how long that kind of luck could hold out for though...

Transcript

Actually, wait. Go back a minute. Who were you talking about your relationship with?
Uh... Drew.
He came up to us in the halls and talked about how he felt. It sounded similar to my orientation confusion so I just said it. I mean, if I can help-
You outed yourself to Drew?
Well, not completely. I just hoped I could help put things into perspective for him. I didn't even really think. I was just saying it before I knew it.
As surely know though, people in this school like to gossip and he's no exception. If you wanted to keep this quiet, I hope he can be trusted.
Just texted Holly, asking for the latest gossip. She's Devon's girlfriend. Devon is Drew's friend. If she doesn't know, then you're fine for now.
Ah! Here we go. "Maria and Chanel got expelled for making out in the locker room."
That's news to me.
You may have the faultiness of word of mouth on your side, Rain.
