Gossip Girls

We all know who they are. They run their mouths like it's their job and their main purpose at high school is to spread everything: rumors, secrets, and the latest gossip. Whether we like to admit it or not, we all rely on these people to tell us everything. And they're the ones to call if you wanna check up on your boyfriend or girlfriend. They get the latest scoop. Yet what I want to know is where do they get it? They're in the same environment that we are, usually are friends with the same people we are, but they tend to know so much more than we do. I think it's because they have good peripheral vision. They see the things we don't, they can sense what we can't, and let's face it they've got to have eyes in the back of their heads. These gossip girls can be anyone but they usually are "the almosts". This clique, which I will later discuss, are the ones that are basically in the "popular" group but not quite. They hang around the edges. They'll attend some big bonfires or group outings, but nothing major. They sit with the "populars" in the student section at games, but they never cheer half as loud. They always seem to be rushing around, as if they have a big purpose. That purpose being you. They wanna find out everything about you, and they'll do whatever it takes, even if it means sneaking around in your business. Most of the rumors they either start themselves or make up to get some things stirring. I feel like it's their one attempt at becoming popular. They want attention and they know they can get it if they start the conversation up. They can do this by starting out with what they heard or the latest couple. Some find them annoying, but some find them helpful. They don't really have specific physical traits, although must tend to be quiet girls with darker hair, especially the ones with the bangs that either cover their face or don't do enough for them. They wear an average amount of make up, but switch up their eye shadow alot mainly to be recognized. They have a unique sense of style and when they try, they can look really pretty. I guess I forgot to mention that most of them are GIRLS. That's because a) if any guy were to be this, most would probably find him weird, annoying, and potentially gay b) they'd have to be really good friends with the boys ANd girls (potentially impossible at our school if you ask me) and c) they'd have to be involved in things other than sports, but still be friends with all the jocks. And frankly, guys just don't care as much as girls do about the "talk" around school, because they'll believe what they want to and they know what's true and what's not. The only talk I ever hear coming from guys is the usual locker room chat they have after games or practices, and usually involves grading girls on a piggish scale. Pathetic. But what makes the Gossip Guys different, is they travel in a pack. There's never just one guy who says it, if one of the football players thinks a band girl is hot, they all do. They share the same opinions and tend to allow one leader make all their decisions for them, whether they agree or not. This differs from the girls. The gossip girls never unite I've realized. If they did, they'd be a supernatural source and none of your secrets would ever be safe. Another reason: they'd never get along and they'd probably always try to figure out secrest about each other. Annoying much? To me, I think so. My secrets are safe with me however, because I know none of my friends would tell the gossip girls, no matter how much they pry. And I don't mean to be dissing on them, because some of the girls I'm really good friends with and are nice at heart. You just have to be careful what you say and how you say it, cause you never know who will be listening to it. My advice to you: keep your stuff on the DL. If you don't want people knowing, don't tell. And make sure if you're gonna do something crazy, don't let others see it. You never know who'd be watching, and whose ready to spill their guts to all the popular girls. Trust no one. Except of course, your mommy.
