This was getting ridiculous.
All this lying, it's getting harder. Especially when I have to lie to Violet, one of the best friends I'll ever have.
I know, I know, I already decided I wouldn't tell her that I'm Wordgirl. But how long can that last if she keeps depending on me to be there for her and I keep having to let her down? How long can I keep this up? How long can I keep lying to the people who rely on me most?
I sighed as I stared up at the ceiling in my room. This is so frustrating.
"What's wrong, Becky?" I heard dad ask from my bedroom doorway. I looked over to him and sighed once again. Yet another instance of having to spew lies like a sprinkler. Great.
"Oh, nothing." I lied.
"It doesn't seem like nothing." He responded. I grunted under my breath. I don't feel in the mood to lie right now, especially to dad.
"It's not important. And besides, I don't wanna talk about it." I explained.
"Oh, nonsense. Nothing makes a person feel better than to talk about their problems. Now, come on, let's hear it." Dad said as he moved into my bedroom and sat on the foot of my bed. Great, now I have to say something.
I sat up in my bed, resting my back on the headboard.
"Okay, say I have this…friend, and she has a really big secret. She really wants to tell her best friend, but she doesn't know whether it's a good idea to tell her or not. You see, knowing my friend's secret can be dangerous, and she doesn't want to put her best friends in harm's way. She really doesn't know what to do, because she really wants to tell someone, but she doesn't want to endanger her friends." I explained. Hey, it's not a lie…
"Oh, and what's this secret of hers?" Dad asked.
"I-I don't know, she hasn't told me either. Sh-she just told me she has a secret…" I explained. I don't know how convincing it was, but it was just going to have to do for now. My dad's look of skepticism didn't make me feel any better, though.
"Well, I think your friend should decide for herself whether or not the risk of telling her best friend her secret is worth it or not. If she really wants to tell someone her secret, she'd find someone who not only she can trust, but someone who she knows deserves to know her secret." Dad said, patting me on the back. He gave me a smile, said "Okay?" and after getting a nod of my head in response, walked out and went downstairs.
I let out a loud, annoyed grunt. All that advice made me wanna do was tell Violet that I'm Wordgirl, which of course made the mental war occurring over the subject even worse. Thanks, dad, just what I needed….
So I wrote this in response to the newest episode, Art in the Park. It's not a very eventful episode, I know, but it was one of those episodes that I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of this season that make it harder and harder for Becky to keep her identity a secret from Violet. I've read descriptions of this season's episodes on a Wiki I found on a google search, and based on what I read, I think it's just going to get harder and harder until she just can't take it anymore, and she tells Violet and maybe even her family…hey, her New Year's resolution was to spend more time with family…who knows. I guess we'll just have to wait and see…XD
Well enough of my babbling, review!
