Hello!
You’ve been subscribed to GosHip!
Your source for the latest news at Lincoln High!
Sorry, but I didn’t subscribe to this.
You were recommended by your bff, Casey!
Dang it Casey.
I’m not interested. Can I unsubscribe?
Of course! To unsubscribe, simply reply saying “I’d rather not know.”
I’d rather not know.
Are you sure?
I guess you don’t want to know about what happened after 5th period between Josh and Courtney…
What?? What happened?!
You’ll never guess!
Then TELL ME.
OK!
Turns out, one of them had a secret…
Which one?!
Guess!
Was it Josh? He’s been acting so weird lately…
You’re onto something!
Oh just tell me what happened!!
Well, Josh was supposed to be headed to football practice…
But instead, he was in the empty Biology classroom…
And guess who he was with?!
Who?!
Jenna Sims!
Jenna? Didn’t they date in like, 6th grade?
They sure did! Turns out they had unfinished business…
They’ve been hooking up for weeks!
OMG
And there’s more!
TELL ME!
Seems like Jenna’s got a streak of jealousy…
So when Josh refused to break up with Courtney…
Jenna made a plan of her own!
Oh no…
Oh yes!
Jenna told Josh to meet her right after fifth period in Biology…
And had Courtney’s tutoring session moved to the Biology classroom…
At the exact same time!
So Courtney walked in on them?
Oh boy did she!
Poor Courtney.
You can say that again!
What did Courtney do?!
She dumped Josh.
Omg! But why would Jenna do that??
Well, Jenna texted Katie and said “Having me isn’t enough? Let’s see how he feels when he’s all alone, am I right?!”
Wait, how do you know that’s what Jenna texted Katie?
Let’s just say I have my sources!
Wow…Poor, poor Courtney. And Josh I guess?
But idk, he kinda had it coming.
OK, so what else is going on around Lincoln High?
You’ll never guess the top trending story!
Come on! Just TELL ME!
I’m sorry, but your free trial has ended.
What?! I have to pay for this thing?
You’ll never have to pay any money!
Because, I run off a trade system!
A trade system?
Yup!
You give me a piece of gossip, and I’ll give you an equally juicy piece of gossip in exchange!
OK so I just tell you a story and you tell me one back?
Yup!
You'll remain completely anonymous! No one will ever know who told me what!
Let me think.
Waiting!
OK. Got one. So last Friday Emily had a sleepover with all of us track girls.
And at midnight we went and tee-peed Carter’s house!
Carter’s mom thought it was the boys on the football team…
So THEY got in trouble and had to run extra sprints at practice on Monday!
…Yawn.
What? What do you mean yawn?!
I’ve heard that one before. Tell me something I don’t know.
Wow…rude much?
But, OK…I’ll try again…
So last week in English, Ben passed Lexi a note asking her to prom.
Lexi was SUPER excited and passed a note back saying “Yes.”
BUT turns out Ben didn’t want the note to go to Lexi…
He meant for Lexi to pass it along to Rachel!
That’s better!
Keep going!
Well, I mean Ben is way too nice to tell Lexi the truth…
So he told me that he’s just gonna go with Lexi now.
OMG. Yawn again!
Was that not a good one?
BORING.
But I guess I’ll go ahead and share it.
Wait, you’re going to tell people?!
Duh!
But I’m the ONLY person Ben told! He’ll know it’s me!
You said I’d be anonymous!
I’ll never use your name.
But I can’t control whether you’re the ONLY possible source of information.
WTF?!
Another text comes in on Becca’s phone.
Becca, what’s this GosHip thing I just got subscribed to because of you?
What?? I didn’t subscribe you to that!
Well that’s what it told me…
Unsubscribe Ben! It’s spam, so not worth it!
Wait…
It just asked me if I want to know your deepest secret?
What?? What is it talking about?
Becca switches back over to her thread with GosHip.
What are you telling Ben?!
Just a bit of information my most recent source told me…
What are you talking about??
Another text from Ben comes in.
Ummm Becca…
What??
Is what this thing is saying true?
What’s it saying?!
That you…like me?
Ummm what? No.
I told you that thing is totally spam…
It says you have my yearbook photo hanging on your bedroom mirror??
What?? That’d be weird…
Ben you should unsubscribe ASAP.
That thing is totally making things up.
Becca switches back over to her thread with GosHip again.
WTF?
Who told you I like Ben?!
Like I said, I have my sources.
What?! I deserve to know who has been talking about me.
WAIT
I talked about Ben as my gossip…and now he’s subscribed…
And, you told me that Casey “recommended” me…
WTF?! Casey told you about my crush on Ben??
I never reveal my sources!
And do you just subscribe whoever we give you gossip about?
I cannot confirm or deny this.
But, I can tell you that my last source had even more to say about you…
More than just your secret crush!
Would you like to know?
You give me a piece of gossip, and I’ll give you an equally juicy piece of gossip in exchange!
Hmm…I do wonder what Casey said about me…
