All day long, Meryl endured whispers and rumors. Everyone she encountered seemed to gossip about her alleged "plagiarism."

She ignored them and focused on practicing her cello, listening to music for inspiration.

After class, Meryl and Harvey left the room and ran into Hank Lopez, the violin instructor from the next class over.

Hank glanced at Meryl, then pulled Harvey aside, saying in a low voice, "Mr. Herty, may I have a word?"

Hank frowned at his retreating figure. "Mr. Herty, I'm just looking out for you. The evidence is right there! Did you even look closely?" He followed Harvey, still trying to make his point.

Her notifications were flooded with mentions, and users were demanding her response to the plagiarism scandal.
