Author Notes[]
When you’re the source of gossip, everyone IS like a zombie. Except, instead of wanting to eat your brains, they just want to dig through it for the juicy tidbits they don’t know yet. Funny; that actually makes it sound more symbolic and relevant than I meant it to be.
The “guy gossip” that Rudy faces isn’t much better than the girl gossip that Rain faced in the last update. It’s just dirtier (and even then, I wrote it kind of tame). I wanted to include an additional bit of dialogue about “bases” too, but I left it out because I don’t know if high school boys still follow those rules or if that was just one of the dumb things of my generation.

Morning, Rain! | |||
You look exhausted. Did you not sleep well last night? | |||
It's just... | |||
It's like a zombie apocalypse out there... except they're only targeting me... | |||
Uh... what? | |||
And Aunt Fara was watching a really freaky zombie movie last night. So, no, I didn't sleep well. | |||
Ah. That explains the joke. | |||
Who's joking? I almost had a panic attack when all those girls came at me like that! | |||
What about Rudy? shouldn't he have his own horde right about now? | |||
I wouldn't worry about that idiot. You know how good he is under pressure. | |||
Besides, how bad could "guy gossip" possibly be? | |||
Um... | |||
Awk~ward... | |||
