You believe I started a rumor about you.
You are upset because we are very close friends and I am
calling you to do things together less and less often.
I am intending to buy tickets for an upcoming concert
along with a group of our friends. You really want to go
to the concert also, but you can’t afford to go.
I have been skipping a lot of classes lately and you are
getting concerned.
Your parents are going away this weekend and I really
want you to have a party so I have been telling others
about this. They have been coming up to you in the
halls to tell you that they are looking forward to the
huge party at your place. You are upset with me about
this.
