Many of the girls in the school have been spreading rumors about Jessica and Samantha has been part of the group spreading the rumors. Samantha has been recently posting harsh words about Jessica on a social media site one which includes causing physical harm to Jessica. Many of the students were also posting negative comments about Jessica under Samantha's post and also supporting Samantha to fight Jessica. Recently Jessica's locker has been vandalized at the school and the rumor is that Samantha was the one who has vandalized Jessica's locker as well as writing vulgar comments about Jessica in the girl's restroom.
