The Love Triangle Gossip Girls

    The high school staff room was almost empty. Only two teachers were there, and both appeared to be diligently grading papers. The principal nodded to himself, pleased that the teachers were working and not socializing. He then strode off to visit the math hallway. As the echo of his footsteps decreased, both teachers simultaneously put down their pens and turned to each other. These teachers were both young women in their twenties, and very good friends. Ms. Bethany Monroe was a tall blond woman who taught English. Ms. Laura Sanchez was a Spanish woman who taught both Chemistry and Spanish. 

   "Is he gone?" Murmured Ms. Monroe.

    Ms. Sanchez listened for a moment, and then nodded as she moved her seat closer to her friend.

    "So?" She prodded.

    "Oh it's definitely true! Our seniors are having some issues!" Ms. Monroe reported excitedly.

    "Are they the ones we've been talking about?" Ms. Sanchez questioned.

    "Who else would it be? Oh, yes!  Marisa Danders and Juliana Stafford are both in love with Alex Hanover!" Ms. Monroe affirmed.

    "Yes! I knew it!" Squealed Ms. Sanchez, before abruptly silencing herself and listening for anyone coming. When she heard nothing, she nodded to Ms. Monroe to go on. 

   "I had them in English today. They were both throwing themselves on him at any chance they got! Marisa kept touching his shoulder and Juliana kept flirting with him! And when he left to go to the bathroom, the girls glared at each other and hissed threats! It was a bit scary to watch," Ms. Monroe giggled. 

    "Anything else," Ms. Sanchez asked.

    "Not really...oh! Juliana tied to tear up Marisa's homework but I caught her and gave her detention." 

    "Oh my gosh! Really! That's insane," breathed Ms. Sanchez. 

    "Yes, it's really crazy. You'd better tell me if they do anything in your chemistry class later," Ms. Monroe remarked to her friend. 

    "Oh, I most definitely will!" Ms. Sanchez promised.
