      "Lenny you have to answer" she said staring at me smiling
     "I think so" I replied
"I knew it!!" She yelled "you've been acting weird lately. Who is it?"
     Have I been acting weird. "I'm not telling" I said smiling knowing she wouldn't give up until she found out who it is.
   
     "Umm let's see Meri truth or dare" I asked her
"Dare obviously"
     "I dare you to post the most embarrassing photo of yourself you have" I said
     "Fine" she said and started scrolling on here phone. "Done" she said a few minutes later.
     "Ok ummm Julian truth or dare?" She asked him
"Truth" he said hesitantly
    "I do you have a crush?" She asked
"What's with the crush questions? And yea I think I do" he replied
     "Just wondering"

     We took a few more turns but none of us revealed our crushes.
    "Let's play and different game. How about we ask each other questions or we reveal a secret" she suggested
    "Ok fine with me" I said
"How do you play?" Julian asked
      "So one person will ask another a question and if you refuse to answer then the person who asked you the question can reveal a secret they know about the person who refused to answer. I'll ask first" she explained "Julian. Does your crush go to our school?"
     "Yes they do" he replied
"You said they. If it was a girl you wouldn't said she. Is it not a girl?" Meri interrogated him
     "Let's just play the game" he said discarding her question.
     Again Meri with the crush questions.
"Umm Meri I'll ask you." Julian said "who's your crush?"
    More crush questions. Can't we just skip them? I mean I want to keep it a secret for a reason.
    "Jonah" she replied almost instantly "he's a 11th grader and I really like him" she quickly added "ok Lenny."
     I froze. I have a feeling I know what the questions gonna be.
     "Who's your crush?"
Damnit. The question I was dreading to answer. Maybe I could just let her expose a secret. But what secret would it be. I've told her so many secrets over the years that I couldn't even begin to tell you what she would say.
     "I'm not saying" I replied
"Ok then I get to expose a secret." She said
      "Go ahead" I replied nervously
"Let me think." She said slowly really going into the back of her mind. A few minutes later she said "Julian did you know that Lenny here was put in a psych ward?"
     He stared at me in disbelief. Why did she have to tell this secret.
     "When he was around 12ish I think his mom found out he was........" she looked over at me.
    "Don't say that part" I begged
Surprisingly she listened. "That he was doing something she didn't like and she put him in a psych ward. She thought he was mentally unstable. Which I mean he is though"
     She doesn't know about my depression or she most likely wouldn't have said that.
      When I was 12 my mom found out I was taking drugs. The only reason I did drugs was to escape everything that was going on. I was put in a psych ward even though I should've been out in rehab. It did help though. And a few months later she check me out. After that was when she found out I was depressed.
     "Yeah yeah funny story" I said sarcastically "anyway who asks the question now?"
     "Julian. Since you didn't answer my question."
Meri replied
     
  We continued asking each other questions and exposing secrets. Although when it came to Julian neither me nor Meri had much on him. I exposed Meri's secret about want to date Julian on the first day. He just laughed about it.
     After about an hour of playing the game we decide to watch a movie. We turned on a scary movie and sat on Julian's bed watching it. Well me and Julian sat on his bed, Meri said in the floating chair a little ways in front of us.
     About halfway through the movie Julian leaned his head on my shoulder. And every time I jumped because of a jump scare he would laugh a little.
    After the movie was over we noticed Meri was asleep in the chair.
    While I was on my phone Julian grabbed my leg and pulled up my pants.
    "Wrong leg dumbass" I said to him
"Oh shut up" he said and grabbed the other leg. He pulled up my pants and touched the scars.
     "It's healed good" he said "but the scars will stay"
     "Good" I replied scooting close to him. I leaned my head on his shoulder and he let go of my leg.
     "Why do you want the scars to stay?" He asked
"Personal reasons" I said trying to end talking about the subject.
    "Has it happened since?" He asked
"No so stop worrying" I replied and closed my eyes.
     "Well after what I saw it's be crazy not to worry" he said and lifted my head up with his fingers and turned it to me. I opened my eyes and saw that we were only centimeters apart. "What are you doing?" I asked him half out of it
     "Just taking in the view" he replied
"This close?" I remarked
      "I could be closer"
"I doubt that" I said and tried to pull away but he wouldn't let me.
     "Sweetheart" he said slowly "can you sleep in the bed with me?"
     "Umm sure I guess" I replied and laid down.
   
     He smiled and laid down next to me. He rapped his arms around me and I fell asleep thinking about him. As much as I don't believe in love he's doing a good job making me believe in it.
