The Secret.

I cryed harder, I don't know why I was crying, I never cared before. "Shit why Iam I crying?" I wisperd, no one heard me which I was glad. "Clem, none of that matters to us." Violet touched my hand in comforting way. "God, Iam sorry." I said looking up at them. "It's ok Clem." AJ smiled. "I don't know why I feel this way, Iam usually never insucure." I said wiping my eyes. "What's that?" AJ asked with a confused look. "It's means, that sometimes you don't like something about yourself, buddy." Violet said. "Oh, then Iam insucure, about my hair, it's to.....poofy I can barely fit into my hat." he said. "If we had scissors I would do it, mine to." I said still acting shy. Omar passed us our food. "Yay! I got these fish my self." AJ said proudly. The smell was weird, but I didn't say anything. "Nice jacket." Omar said. "Yeah?" I said, a little bit Happer. "It's fetch!" Louis said. "What the hell is that?" Violet asked. "It's uh, nothing just a movie."

"No, seriously, what the hell is that." Violet asked again. "It's from a movie, me and my babysitter used to watch, about these popular girls, that's all remember, I really hated that movie." He said. "Do you remember what it was called." I asked. "No, I wish I did, I would do anything just watch it again, even if I don't like it. Just to watch it." He said. "I'll keep an eye out." I said. "Yeah you never know what Erickson, watched I remember this one time, I walked into the office because I drew a dick on the wall, with a marker, and Ironicly, he was watching porn." She said. "What's porn?" AJ asked. "I will, uh....tell you when your older." I said. "Yeah, buddy just....yeah." Louis said. There was silence at our table, for a minute. "I saw another turtle, well Rosie found it, but I got him from her, and I put him in a box." He said. "I like turtles." Violet laughed.

"Any hoo, I wanted to name him Squirt not after what Abel called me I just thing that sounds good." AJ said. "Take care of him." I said. "I will."

I picked at my food, nibbling on it. "You guys want to play a game, tonight?" Louis asked. "Depends." I said. "Do you guys want to play......" He paused. "Truth or dare?" He asked. "Last time we played that, Aasim nearly threw up." AJ said. "Hey, he told me to come up with a good dare, so I did." I laughed, feeling a bit better know that I ate. Louis pulled out his playing card. Omar put the food up, and went inside. Ruby, me, Louis, Aasim, Willy and Javi joined, the game and Aj. I smiled at Javi. "oh hey Clem." Ruby said. "How do you feel? Can you see out of your eye ok?" She asked. "I feel like...I don't even know. I can't see out if this eye." I finished. "Aw Iam sorry Clem." Javi said. "It's not your fault. Are you ok?" I asked. "I...I onistly don't know, he's gone, and he's not coming back." He said. "Same with, Gabe, Mariana, my bother, Kate and know Iam..." He paused and closed his eyes. "Let's just play the game, ok? Maybe you'll feel better." I said

I flipped my card and everyone else did. My card won, and Louis lost. "Ok, Louis, truth or dare?" He thought for a moment. "How bout.....Dare."

"I dare you too..." I couldn't think of anything. "Eat some cantaloupe." I said smerking. "Aww, hell!" Violet laughed. "Uh oh.... you don't like it." AJ said. "Well luckily we have some in the greenhouse." Ruby smiled. Aasim ran to the greenhouse and came back with the small fruit, he handled it to me and I cut a small peice off, and handed to him. "Uh oh my god...why did I say dare. You know, I was thinking that you were going to say something like that." He took a small bite. "Aw man I was hoping he'd throw up." Aasim laughed. Louis had a face. "Man, shouldn't have picked it." Louis said again. "Come her Rosie." He called for her and dropped the food in front of her. Rosie sniffed it and walked away. "See? Not even the dog likes it!" Louis said. Everyone laughed except Javi. Everyone put a card down. I lost, and Violet won the game. "So, Clementine...truth or dare." She asked. "Truth."

"When you said you ate a guys leg, a few months ago, were you really joking?" She asked. I thought for a moment, and frowned I felt sick to my stummic, first question I get asked. In the game. Should have chose dare.
