School legends, sentence 2
A school legend is usually told about "a kid at my cousin's school", never about someone you can actually ask; that friend-of-a-friend detail is the first clue it may be made up.
Who acts: you, friend friend detail, first clue · What happens: tell, ask, be, make up · To what, where: school legend, first clue, detail · Speech: someone speaks here
