Rumor Busted
Prologue
Miss Khanal
Aurora, I have some news.
Miss Khanal
Remember when I was the only person who signed for your permission to open the club?
Aurora
Of course, you were the only supportive member in the staff.
Miss Khanal
Yes, but I will be retiring from teaching Oakwood High next term.
Miss Khanal
Geography is my strong point, but I yearn to learn more.
Aurora
You plan to study for college?
Miss Khanal
Even at age 30, I can still enroll.
Aurora
But a retired staff member of Oakwood High’s signed applications proceed no effect at all.
Miss Khanal
I’m glad you memorize the school rules.
Aurora
Will you return to Pakistan?
Aurora
Well, good luck. I’ll see you tomorrow at Georgraphy lesson.
Miss Khanal
Goodbye, Miss Willow.
Group chat: Rumor Busters
Aurora
Guys, this is an emergency.
Aurora
Miss Khanal said she plans to retire next term.
Arianna
But our group would turn into an illegal establishment!
Aurora
I know. So we need someone to sign the form before next year, ASAP.
Jason
But we have until five months!
Arianna
That doesn’t mean we can slack off, Jason.
Aurora
No one but Miss Khanal was willing to make this club legal.
Arianna
Yes, and that means we will need to prove ourselves useful.
Jason
But only rumors can help, and not much are popping up lately.
Aurora
What do you mean, Arianna?
Arianna
A few weeks ago, there was an Instagram blog about a video.
Arianna
The video contained a shadow of a little girl, crawling to the recorder.
Jason
Where was it recorded?
Arianna
In the middle of the night, in a forest or a backyard I think, since there were many trees and bushes.
Aurora
But how come did the girl not raise awareness to the police department?
Arianna
I’m not sure. It never went viral, as I didn’t expect. This seemed like a big issue.
Jason
Did the police try to investigate?
Arianna
Not without evidence. I contacted them once, and they told me that the video was ended and posted, in fact something like that shouldn’t be only uploaded on Instragram.
Aurora
So, the poster never said anything about it again?
Arianna
No one knows. But I think it has finally reached the ears of Khonie a few hours before.
Jason
Khonie? You mean the rumor-maker?
Aurora
Yes. She can elaborate truths into wise-streched lies, and for some reason it sounds convincing enough for people to pass it on.
Arianna
She texted me, saying she told a couple of her friends about it. Khonie told me that she knew that little shadow was a monstrous spirit, roaming around during the deadly nights.
Aurora
Our school has a backyard, not a forest.
Arianna
My background theory was just a prediction, not a fact that has been confirmed.
Jason
Khonie can cause unnecessary caution and damage.
Aurora
I think it’s a job for us.
Arianna
Sure - but let’s discuss this tomorrow night.
Jason
Curses, that Khonie! We’ve got an opportunity to prove ourselves, let’s not screw up.
