**Was going to enter this in a contest last year, but missed the dead line. And then, i made it longer and told it to the class as my story-telling asignment. Longer version comming soon, if this moves to pain page, and if i can find it >.< **
Do you know what a bathroom legend is? It’s a story told in a public bathroom, or written like useless graffiti on the walls and stalls. Girls talk more in the bathroom; so more legends and rumors start in the ladies room. But some rumors get out of hand and soon the whole school knows instead of the little group who made them up. One of my sixth grade teachers taught me “What goes around comes around.” Meaning, that if you start a rumor, or anything, that it will eventually come back to you. This is what happened to the girl in my story.
The girl’s name is Amber. Her little gossipy group starts many rumors, but everyone is so scared of them, that no one has ever taken a stand against them.
One Monday afternoon, Amber and her group were in the bathroom, sitting on the counters talking about the newest rumor: Felicia Andrew’s is getting implants, when suddenly; a boy stuck his head in the door. “Amber! There’s the craziest picture going around about you! Come see.” All of Amber’s friends looked at Amber, shocked. Amber got off from the counter, walked over to the writing covered door and opened it.
In the hallways, there were the kids pointing at pictures; which plastered the walls. The pictures showed Amber along with her friends, but Amber didn’t understand the setting. She never remembered being there before. The setting was in a cave, all in blood red. Little volcanoes came out of the ground, shooting ash, fire and rock out of their great mouths. Rocks with jagged edges hung from the ceiling. She could tell, after a few minutes of imagining, this was hell. Under it, it read “Amber, Chelsea, Michelle, Stephanie, Erin, Amanda, and Sarah, gossiping and burning in HELL where they belong!” Amber stared at the writing with her mouth hanging open. She pulled down the poster and pushed past the crowded hallway and disappeared into the safety of her bathroom.
After many months, it was still all the school could talk about. She refused to get out of bed or even go to school. She got tons of phone calls; her answering machine was full of un-heard messages; she refused to answer the phone. One morning, she decided to hear the messages. She played the first one and it was from Michelle. The next one was from someone disguising his or her voice. The voice said some really bad things, concerning the picture and how Amber deserved it. Amber picked up the answering machine and through it out her window. After a few seconds, she could barely hear it smash against the concrete because her hands were covering her face and she was crying.
So this is what her victims felt like after a rumor, or a picture about them got out of hand? She straightened up and looked at herself in the mirror. She hated the poster, she hated her mind, and most of all, she hated herself. She hated with all her heart the person starring back at her. Amber got fed up of looking at herself, the murderer of spirits and self-esteem. She picked up a vase and threw it as hard as she can against the mirror. Amber was showered in a storm of glass, water and guilt. No matter how much apologizing she did, it wouldn’t make any difference. She was still a monster.
When Amber’s parents came home, they found her dead on the kitchen floor.
