Hi Carl
• J
a) He just told me that it was someone from school. I his story is all round the school now.
I thought it would be a shock if you suddenly heard it from a complete stranger.
b) Anyway, see you soon, and sorry again about the bad news.
c) l'm really sorry about this, but I have to tell you something. Yesterday, I was talking to Steve and he told me that he'd heard some gossip about you.
d) The gossip he heard was that you'd cheated in the Maths Marathon, that you had the answers from your parents. I asked Steve who had told him, but he didn't want to tell me.
e) That's why I thought l'd tell you first.
I know it isn't true, but I have no idea what you can do about it. Maybe it's best to ignore it. I imagine it will blow over soon. I hope so.
Jess
