"You can't tell a single soul," my best friend said after telling me a huge ginormous secret "i promise," I tell her confidently even though I always manage to tell someone accidentally. I lay in bed that night the secret swimming in my head keeping me awake "What if I tell someone while I'm sleeping cause I sleep talk" I asked myself all night long as I stared at the ceiling, the secret trying to get loose.The next morning I got up and went to school and immediately told my friend that I couldn't do this secret holding, she yelled at me in front of everyone she said to me that if I told someone she wasn't going to be my friend anymore, and spread lies about me around the school. I tell her ok and walk away.I lay awake this time hungry cause what if I told someone during small talk while eating or while I'm drinking the words could spill out just as easily as water, or when I'm singing in the shower what if the words come out in the song?What if i spill the secret while talking to someone?The big secret slowly broke me down as i danced and busted around my head i was too scared to do anything because what if I did it while spilling the secret?My parents forced me out of bed for school and after I would go right back as soon as I came home.I slowly started turning into a smelly stick because I was scared that any activity would make the secret escape.I lay in bed tonight like every night but it felt different I actually felt tired so i slowly drifted off to sleep for the first time in daysThe next morning there was no one who could accidentally spill the big secret.
