They caught me without pants—literally. Now, the whole school will know about the bat print underwear. Hey, it’s not my fault! Who could resist the allure of cute bats?
Anyway, the rumors have already started to spread. I am gonna be known as “bat underwear girl” for the rest of my high school if I don’t do something! Was there even a way to squash rumors?
Thinking about it logically, the only way was to snuff out the source. But so many people saw me.
“Ah, this is horrible!” I yelled into the sky, continuing my walk to school. I didn’t take the bus today, knowing full well that I’d be late.
Sure, skipping school is also a valid solution to my problem. But I couldn’t do that forever, and eventually I’d have to go back. The thought made me want to vomit as I walked by the railroad. A train crawled along on the tracks, and I could see a mural of graffiti painted on one of the cars.
It was like a light bulb moment when I saw it. I could get rid of the rumors by making even bigger ones—something that would paint over it.
That’s right, all I had to do was become “spray paint girl!” If I started painting school walls, they’d quickly forget about the bats!
