SECRETS

It all started off one day when they were both stuck in study hall with nothing to do. They had just had midterms, and no homework. The following conversation took place.

"Sooo….."

"Welll….."

"I'm bored."

"Me too."

"That's not helpful."

"Well I don't see you coming up with anything."

"Why don't you?"

"Fine. Tell me a secret."

After that, it seemed like the floodgates opened up. Ryan found it easy to confide in Kelsi; she was a great listener, and he knew that she could be trusted to keep his secrets. Ryan, it turned out, was also a really good listener, and very sympathetic. Kelsi had always considered him a friend, but never really someone that she could trust with deep secrets. But something made it easy to talk to him.

In the next half hour, they learned more about each other than they could have guessed. Kelsi felt a little left out hanging out with Gabriella, Taylor, and Martha, because they were all so smart, and she was just average. Ryan felt like his dad cared more about Sharpay than he did about Ryan. Kelsi didn't have any close friends until high school. Ryan got his first hat from a beloved aunt who died of cancer; he wore them out of remembrance to her. Kelsi hated chick flicks, because they were cheesy, and never came true in real life. Ryan was secretly a bowling champ. Kelsi liked to listen to hard rock and heavy metal. Ryan didn't have any close friends (except Sharpay) until high school either. Neither of them had had their first kiss yet.

Then Kelsi asked,

"Who do you have a crush on?" Ryan stuttered and stammered, and was going to lie and say no one, when his phone rang, loudly and shrilly. As the librarian strode over to confiscate it from him, he actually sighed with relief. He had been saved, and about 10 seconds later, the bell for their next class rang.

He didn't mind telling secrets to Kelsi at all; except when the secret was about her.
