Dear Miss Wang，

I'm writing to ask you for the help. At the moment I am having some trouble with my classmates. I'm getting well with a boy in my class. We often do homework together and we enjoy help each other. But we have become real good friends. However，others students have started gossiping. They say that this boy and I have fallen in love，that makes me angrily. I don't want to end the friendship，but I hate others gossiping. I feel really upset. How should I do?

I'd appreciate it if you could give me some advices.

Yours，

Lisa
