"Paula! wait up"
"hey"
"hi, Cindy"
"hope you had a wonderful weekend "
"it was almost perfect, but I kept thinking about the competition and what Martha said the other time"
"so you're still not convinced? " She asked
"am just giving myself a reason not to blow up this trust I have with you guys. It means a lot to me and I don't want to betray that. "
"wait!! She told you about it? " I asked in surprise realizing I've said too much already.
It's not that I don't trust Cindy but she's a hypocrite. She'd always been jealous about the relationship Martha and I have that she tried to sabotage us back in sixth grade. I haven't been able to trust her since then.
Am even surprise she decided to join the group". I thought.
"not really I overheard you guys the other time so I asked her about it and she explained just a little to me".
"seriously, so how many people in the group knows about this? I can't believe Martha would do this to me. " I said angrily
"oh no this wasn't her fault at all and I promised her I wasn't going to tell anyone 🙋. She said
"yeah right, like I don't know you too well" I thought.
"OK if you say so
But please not a word to anyone. Promise me".
"I promise, once again " she replied undertone.
So about earlier, I don't think you would be doing that trust me; it would even be a favor you would be doing for these girls to actually help someone in need. Think of Cynthia and think of how badly she needs this money for her mum and how much she would appreciate it. "
"I know right but.... "
"but nothing, just say you would and let's get on with it already. We don't have much time left to submit it before the deadline which is in two weeks. "
"hmm, for Cynthia! I exclaimed "

"honey, you're still up"
"yeah mum.
I've decided to enter the contest with a nonfiction story of what entitled during our discussions. I know it's a big risk am taking and some of the girls wouldn't be happy about it but the money would really help Cynthia and she needs it more than we all do. " I answered
"OK honey, I hope your friends would understand your reason for betraying their trust when they find out.
Don't stay up late OK.
"OK mum, good night"
"good night baby"
