Let’s set the stage, I was a child, middle school. Recently friendA spread a rumor about me. It hurt my feelings a bit, but we were friends just messing with each other. So naturally my goal was to mess with him. It was history class and me, friendA, and friendsBCDE all sat near each other. When friendA asked if I can borrow my history book, which we were not using at the time, I said it was a personal diary. This was me being stupid. Next thing you know friendB plays along and said “yeah, why would you ask to take his diary.” FriendA fights back and denies it. All the friends in our circle start saying it’s a diary, we even asked some randos neat by and gave them a face worthy of agreeing with. Next thing you know we actually convinced friendA it’s a diary and they forgot to give him one at the start of the year when the principal handed them out. No need for me to spread a fake rumor, and no need to spread it. That was a good laugh.
