What was "The Scandal" at your high school?

With "scandal" in quotes, I'm assuming it was something not as popular or not as long-lasting, so I guess this would fit.

There was a friend of mine who I would jumper-cable every once in a while. At some point, she got annoyed of it, and her and her friends told me to stop doing it. I knew my limit, so I stopped.

Literally, the next day, a rumor went around where people thought I continued doing that. That part wasn't bad. The part of the rumors where it was said I was going around telling people her and I were dating, and that she was going to 'lick me' was a bit bad.

It got to the point where one of the school staff, like the vice-principal or something, came to lunch and told me to come to her office. I told her what actually happened, and she believed me.

The rumor never happened again. It literally started and ended in five hours. I'm so glad they handled it the way they did, because imagine if the rumors were worse or just kept on going. I mean, I'm not sure if that would have happened, but I've always thought what would have happened.
