rumor

During the summer, I heard of a rumor that my friend, which I haven't seen in a while, sold drugs. I didn't believe it at first, but I began to once I realized how long its been since I've seen him. I told my other friends of the rumor and they laughed. One of them called him and jokingly asked for some weed. When I saw my friend who the rumor was started about he was mad at me because the rumor got to him from someone I told. I discovered that the rumor was a lie.
