Taking the Blame
A high school girl started spreading rumors that I had vandalized her house by throwing eggs and became romantically involved with her boyfriend.
In truth, I hadn’t taken part in the egging. It seems like she had made a ton of other rivals besides me. To be honest, I wasn’t surprised. Furthermore, there was no truth to the gossip about me being with her rather unappealing boyfriend, not even the faintest interest from my side.
Initially, all this drama was just irritating. However, as more people started making snide remarks, and even threatened to get revenge by egging my house, it became intolerable. The last straw was someone making a snarky comment on the rumor at my workplace, right while I was in the middle of my shift.
Fed up with all the accusations, I decided to retaliate by actually egging her house and engaging with her boyfriend. After all, if I was going to bear the brunt of these false claims, she might as well be held accountable for sparking them.
