"Did she seriously go against Stacey? Like, The Stacey Evans? The Queen?"
"No way."
"Dude, I'm telling you, Tabby Chubby went ballistic! She slammed Stacey's head into the locker like it was a freaking WWE match!"
"Nah, you're making that up."
"I swear! If I hadn't seen the video, I wouldn't have believed it either!"
"Wait, there's a video?!"
By now, Tabitha's classroom was buzzing with whispered gossip, excited murmurs, and the occasional re-enactment of what was quickly becoming The Incident of the Year.
Some kids even acted it out dramatically, one person pretending to be Tabitha while another faked getting their head smashed into a wall.
Tabitha, meanwhile, was walking through the chaos like a celebrity who had just accidentally leaked their own scandal. She could hear the ridiculous exaggerations swirling around her.
"I heard she lifted Stacey with one hand!"
"No, no, she roundhouse-kicked the locker first to scare her!"
