My parents like to take vacations, so in 12th grade when my mom and stepdad went to Mexico for a week, I stayed home from school and went with them (my grades were good enough that they didn't care). Then I went to LA to see my dad for Christmas and came back with 2 Coach bags.
In reality, I'm not rich, but my family works hard so we got to take an extra vacation that year. I only get to go to LA because my dad is there (reminder: everyone in my HS is from OH, so LA = rich people to them because they've never been there). And really, I only got 2 Coach bags that year because my birthday & Christmas are in the same month and I turned 16.
A couple of my friends wanted to go to LA with me, but their parents said no (for whatever reason). So I guess they were mad about it and over Christmas they started talking to other people about me and how "snobby" I was.
After Christmas, a rumor had started that I was "totally rich because my Dad is a big drug dealer."
This was a really hurtful rumor, that even got me called down to the counselor who was "concerned about my family being involved in illegal activities." It even got back tomy mom (via some other kid's parents hearing it). It was pretty embarrassing.
The rumor eventually died down, but I haven't talked to those girls since.
