If you’re having lunch with the gang best bring something juicy some gossip to spread about the uninvited, lest the chatter be about you.

Ignored amidst the clicking of veneers and caps. the clucking of tongues and faces aghast, I struggled to find a tidbit to share someone to care but to the gang I seemed invisible, absentee and in my haste to please I started a rumor about me. Prize Prompt: The thing that started the rumor. |
