"Why does it look so old and-"
"Broken" , he whispered in my ear, " you don't want to find out."
"And why can't I know?", I turned around and looked at him with a questioning look.
"Because I said so, and they are all fake anyway it's just a tree." , he turns around to walk away but I hear him whisper , "At least I won't tell you until you admit your secret." With that he leaves me alone confused, curious, and scared.
