Linda enjoyed listening to the gossip(闲话) at the water fountain(饮水处
),and then passed it to others. Sometimes people got a little hurt. Patty
decided that Linda should be taught a lesson.
After the second class, Patty was at the water fountain. As she took a
drink, Abel passed by. "What's up? " he asked her. Patty said, " Nothing
much, the usual. Today is sure an interesting day. But it's not good for
Linda. "
"What do you mean? What happened? " Abel asked. Patty said sadly, "I
heard that Linda got below an A on her history exam. You know her parents
want her to get straight As. I think they'll keep her at home for a whole
week to study. "Before he could ask anything else, Patty walked on.
Abel caught up with Emily. "Did you hear, "he asked, not waiting for her
to answer, "Linda failed on a history exam and her parents will keep her at
home for a whole month? " Emily looked at him in surprise, "But Linda is a
straight— A student.This is terrible. Don't tell anybody, and I won't
either."
At lunch, the gossip was flying fast. Tim asked Bob, " Did you hear
about poor Linda? She failed in history, and her parents are going to get her
a tutor (家庭教师)."
By three o'clock, everybody knew it. All day, Linda had a strange
feeling. People were looking at her. She asked Dana what was going on. He
said, "I don't know who found out, but we're really sorry. "
"Sorry about what? " Linda asked. Dana said, "Everybody knows you failed
in all your subjects, and your parents are taking you out of school." Linda
stared(盯着) at him, mouth opened. "How did this gossip start? It's not
true! "Linda began to shout. In a moment , most of her friends were around
her. They asked if there was anything they could do. "Look, " she said, "I
got an A on my history exam. Who would start a gossip like this? "Nobody
seemed to know, but they did know that it began at the water fountain.
