The spread of information online is swift.
Especially those eye-catching gossip leaks, once they caught the public’s attention, their heat would only rise steadily.
Justin Wafford had been keeping an eye on online ssages.
At the sa ti, he was also paying close attention to his phone, afraid of missing a phone call from Nathalie.
He had waited half a day for Nathalie’s call but instead received one from Freddy Cagwin.
"Hello?"
Boys talking to boys had fewer scruples. Pacing anxiously around the room, Justin didn’t wait for Freddy to speak and asked urgently.
"So, did Nathalie reply to your ssage?"
"No." Freddy’s voice conveyed his more reserved personality, belonging to the kind that had patience: "What about you? Did Nathalie get in touch with you?"
Justin scratched his hair, frustrated, punching the wall then retracting his hand, leaning back against it: "Just like you!"
"I called Nathalie, her phone is off. Normally, she rarely turns off her phone; it’s either she’s sleeping, the battery is dead, or she is in so special circumstance without signal..." Freddy said slowly and deliberately.
That was also what Justin was guessing. With a handso face, he looked slightly puzzled: "Then why are you calling ?"
Everyone had lost contact with Nathalie, and suddenly Freddy called him, making Justin think Freddy had made contact.
The boy’s voice over the phone was cool, yet his tone was heavy, asking him: "Are you sure Mr. Sullivan deleted the content from the school forum?"
"Huh?" Justin didn’t catch on right away, it took two seconds before he snapped back to reality and confird: "Yes, I’m sure. I saw it deleted, and I couldn’t find it when I searched afterwards. What’s up?"
Freddy’s voice showed no fluctuation, as if he was just plainly stating facts: "Soone screenshot that thread and posted it online. It’s starting to get attention online. I’ve seen it, it looks to be a No. 1 Middle School student who got curious seeing the forum post, took a screenshot and shared it online. Now the original post is gone, but the heat on Twitter is picking up."
"..."
"Justin, I think we’ve been had."
"What do you an?" Been had? Been had by what.
Freddy’s voice was deep and strong: "The person who posted probably knew we would have the school delete their original thread. They were just waiting for us to delete it; that way, the traces of the leaked news would be wiped clean. Then they could use any No. 1 Middle School student who took a screenshot of the thread and spread it online to blow up the issue. They themselves could co out perfectly clean."
Justin took a while to digest this information, and by the ti he had, his head was spinning, swearing ’Damn’!
Regretting his impulse, he didn’t think it through and hurriedly asked Nancy Sullivan to delete the post, he hastily added: "Wait for , I’ll speak to Nathalie."
He hung up on Freddy.
Then he hurriedly went online to check if what Freddy had said was true, and quickly sent a new ssage to Nathalie.
