Chapter 6
The officer’s voice wasn’t loud, but it exploded in the previously noisy classroom like a bomb.
The excitement and pride on the students’ faces, who had just been dreaming of “awards” and “badges of
honor”, instantly solidified.
A deathly silence fell. Complexions turned ashen.
“Wait… what did you just say? AIDS?”
“Luna has AIDS?”
“Oh my god… oh my god, no. That’s… that’s not curable. Is it?”
The whispers swelled, drowning out the teacher’s attempts to quiet the class. Their looks toward Luna now
held resentment.
Luna’s face was sheet-white and panicked. Her eyes darted around as she scrambled for a defense.
The next second, her expression dissolved into one of tearful distress. Huge tears welled in her eyes, her fingers clenched white.
“But I’ve never even had a boyfriend!” she cried, voice trembling. Then she whirled toward me, eyes blazing
with wounded fury.
“Chloe, I get that you’re hurt Ethan chose me. But hiring someone to pretend to be police? Spreading a rumor like this? Do you have any idea what this could do to me?”
Ethan instantly latched onto her deflection, turning his fury on me. “Chloe Bennett, this is low. Even for you.
Making up something this horrible about someone? What is wrong with you?”
The teacher also looked at me with deep disappointment and disapproval, as if I’d always been nothing but a
liar.
The classmates joined the outcry against me and the officer.
“There’s no way Luna has AIDS! Do you even know what you’re accusing her of?”
“Is this some kind of sick joke you and Chloe set up?”
“Both of you need to leave. We don’t need people like you tearing this class apart.”
Convinced he was a fake, they started trying to shove the officer out. The man, not used to being
manhandled by teenagers, was red-faced with anger,
After pushing him and the medical staff into the hallway, the students turned on me, yelling that bitch like me
shouldn’t be in the classroom.

Seeing they were about to get physical, I gave a cold laugh and dialed 911.
Ethan was the first to react. He snatched the phone from my hand and smashed it on the floor. “Are you out
of your mind? You called the cops over this?”
