 Before i knew it, the bell rang for lunch. I met up with Sarah by her french class and we walked to the canteen together. As we approached the doors, my eyes caught hold of a poster on the wall promoting auditions for a talent show. I walked over to it and it read:

"Haven Highs campus hosting our first talent show!!"

"Join in the fun and dont miss out"

"competition for ages 5 and up"

"Come out and support us and enjoy the show."

 "OMG!!" i exclaimed. "I have to sign Lindsey up for this contest!!!"

"What are you talking about?" Sarah asked. " Your sister is so quiet, and she has a talent?"

"Uhh.." i tried to think of an excuse to keep Lindsey's special talent from Sarah, but i couldnt lie to my best friend.

" Well..." i started. " If i tell you this you cant tell anyone." i said seriously. 

" I won't tell anyone you know that i keep all of your secrets." she said.

" Yeh i know, but Lindsey doesn't want anyone to know.." i said feeling bad.

" Ok i understand, im not a good enough friend for you to keep your little sister's secret!!" she shouted.

" Sarah its not that i dont trust you." i said. " I just dont want to betray Lindsey by telling you..." i said sadly.

" She is eight!!! she wouldnt know the difference if you did or didnt tell me." she shouted.

" I dont want to hurt her." i said crying. " I thought you would understand."

" Whatever Taylor." she said with attitude and walked off.

I sat  there in the hallway crying as Darren walked out of a classroom. He saw me upset, walked over and sat next to me. "Hey what happened?" he asked me with sympathy in his tone.

" Nothing..." i said still crying. "

" There has to be something Taylor, your crying." whats wrong?"

" Don't worry about it Darren, im fine..." i said sniffling.

" No you're not." he said and he pulled me into a hug and i lay my head on his chest.
