Ricky's pov

"What. the. actual. fuck?!" Gina shouted.

"Calm down a bit." I said.

"I'm not gonna calm down! How can you be so calm? Did you write it?!"

"What? No! Of course not! If you haven't noticed, this is about me and my secret too! But running from side to side will not help us!" She stopped when she heard me.

"And what do you suggest?" Nini asked me.

It was obvious how afraid she was. I want to just hug her and tell her we'll work it out-

No! Ricky! She has a boyfriend! And he is right here! Wrong time!

"We have to figure out what we will do."

"What do you mean by that? I don't know about you, but I don't want the whole school to know my secret. I'd rather tell you guys." Carlos said.

"Okay, but you had a reason not to tell us, right? Maybe it's too personal, or you don't want the specific person who is here to know about it." Gina said back.

"But that person will find out anyway when the whole school knows!" Red agreed with Carlos.

"Maybe it really is a joke." Nini said. "I mean... who and how could have known our secrets when we didn't even tell each other. At least I didn't tell anyone. Did any of you tell anyone your secret?" she asked. We all shake our heads. "You see! So how could anyone know?"

"Is your secret something someone could have seen while you did it?" Ashlyn asked.

I, Red, Ash, Kourt, Carlos and Seb said no.

"Ehmm, I mean it's possible, I guess. But I don't think anyone saw it." Gina said nervously.

"Yeah, it's the same for me." EJ looked at Gina, who stood opposite him and then at the ground.

"Neens?" Ash raised her eyebrow.

"Nobody saw it." she answered with her face without a single emotion. But I know her. She wants to cry.

"Well, you're saying no one saw it, but is it anything you did? It's not a feeling or something like that, is it? Is there any possibility, even a tiny one, that someone has seen it? Or wasn't someone there with you?" Carlos asked her about a million questions. Nini looked at the ground, she didn't dare look at either of us because she would cry. It was quiet. I know she's uncomfortable, and she doesn't want to answer. Should i say something?

"One person was there with me. But that person would never, really never say that. I know that for a fact." she finally said.

"Okay, so if she or he didn't say it and you're so sure, couldn't anyone else see it?"

"There is a possibility. Little possibility, but there is. But no one was there except me and the other person, I swear." When she said this, one big tear rolled down her cheek.

Wow. It must be something big when she wants to cry about it. Now I feel bad that she has to tell us, but on the other hand I want to hear it. I want to know why she is like this and I want to help her, because looking at her like this is very difficult for me. She is nini, always smiling and in a good mood, ready to made everyone's day. I just want to hug her. Can I? I think Im gonna-

Oh, never mind, EJ just hugged her.

At least now I know her secret is something she did and not something like... I'm still in love with Ricky. Although I wouldn't mind. But EJ probably would.

"Okay, so someone could see you three and that's how he or she knows." Ashlyn told us.

"Well, but what about the rest of us?" Seb asked.

"I don't know. Maybe it's really a joke, and no one knows those secrets." she replied.

"Yes but do we really want to risk it? Will we just sit here and wait until the door opens tomorrow?" Kourtney asked.

That's when I remembered that we have phones.

"What are you doing?" Red asked.

"I'll try to call someone."

"Finally a good idea." Carlos said and leaned against the lockers.

"Um.. guys, I don't have a signal." Everyone looked at their phones.

None of us had a signal.

"Well, but parents will look at least for one of us, right?" EJ said hopefully.

"Um.. did any of us tell our parents where they were really going?" Carlos asked.

"No." I answered.

"I said I sleep at your house." Big Red pointed at me.

"Well, I said I'd be with you."

"So no one will be looking for us. Great." Carlos rolled his eyes.

"Wait, Neens, mom brought you here, right? So she knows where you are!" Gina said with hope.

"She knows where I am, but from here she went straight to the airport. She went on a business trip to New York and she won't come back until next week."

"So we have no other choice but to tell our secrets?" Seb asked.

"Or we can still risk it and wait to see if the whole school will know tomorrow or not."

"Who even reads the school blog? Only teachers, the most boring ones." Carlos said. Some of us laughed a little.

"I don't know about you but I wouldn't risk it." Red admitted and everyone agreed.

"So are we really going to tell our secrets?" I asked and they looked at me sadly but they were scared at the same time, none of us wanted to do it.

"Let's take it as truth or dare. But we are only telling the truth. The truth we never thought we would tell anyone." Kourtney was right, I didn't think I'd ever tell anyone, at least not now. Maybe in five years. But I have to do it today. Now.

I'm not ready.

"I have to sit on this." Carlos said, so we all started walking to the student lounge and we sat there on the couch.

"So who wants to go first?" Ashlyn asked.

I guess we will tell each other our deepest secrets.

This should be fun.

Some secrets will be told!
