LIZ'S POV The next few days were the most uncomfortable days of my life. I did not tell Will anything that had transpired between mom and I and I had no plan of telling him anything at all. He still called and although he didn't visit home, the rumors at school became worse. Wherever I went, I heard my name mentioned. Some folks said really horrible things about me and some stuck to the general gossip about Will and I being siblings who were sleeping with each other. It was hard to not care. Pretending that I didn't hear the talks that welcomed my ears was the hardest thing I did for days, but somehow, the more brave I was and went to school, the wider the gossip spread and more people started to look more keenly at me. It got worse until I told Amma I wanted to stay away from school
