Blab: Three secrets I'm keeping.
"We had a problem with someone stealing stuff from other kids on the swim team, and I was the only one who knew who it was but I didn’t kick her off because she’s one of our strongest swimmers. So I made a deal that she stays on the team as long as she steals nothing of mine. When it was demanded that I find the thief and kick them off the team, though, I got everybody to believe it was one of our weakest swimmers, even though he was innocent, and I kicked him off instead. Don’t tell anyone in swim club, though!"
"Another secret, well… ever since I was a kid, I always felt like I was to blame for everything going wrong in my family. I hate to think it’s all my fault, but I can’t help but blaming myself, and I think everyone else in my family blames me too. It’s dumb, though, because I’ve even told one of my brothers about it and he insists no one blames me and said he feels the same way too, but I think he was lying just to make me feel better. It’s not that I don’t trust him, I just think I can’t get over the guilt of it."
"Third secret, alright. So I have a scar right in the middle of my left hand, and I always tell people it’s because I accidentally hit a jellyfish with it once while I was swimming in the ocean. I know, that sounds lame, but it’s not as stupid as the real reason; that scar is from when I was a kid and I tried cutting a hole through some candy so I could make a candy necklace, so I held the candy on my hand and went stabbing at the middle with a kitchen knife. Yeah, it was pretty stupid."
Pastime: Three hobbies I have.
"I swim a lot, so there’s one."
"Another hobby of mine is probably fishing. Sometimes I take my little brother to fish, which my older brother used to do with me a lot. It’s kind of a family thing. It’s nice, though, and it’s also a pretty good way to get food."
"I also love to go camping, that’s another thing I do with my brothers, and it’s a lot of fun. Cooking over the campfire, being out under the stars, sleeping in a tent, it’s just really nice to me. I like it a lot."
Psst: Three things that I've always wanted to tell you.
"Let me start out by saying I apologize heavily for the things I am about to say… Okay, one thing is that before I talked to you ever, I once spent an entire athletic club meeting staring at your butt. I was also really tired, so I was contemplating about whether or not your butt would make a good pillow. I just had to get that one out of the way, that’s the worst one."
"Second thing, uh… you always smell really good. Not that I try to smell you or anything, but you really do smell nice all the time. Whether it’s perfume, or just shampoo, keep doing it. Unless you decide you want to change it, then by all means, go ahead. You’ll probably still smell nice.”
"One last thing, I guess would be that I don’t even like ice cream that much. I like it, but I really prefer so many other things over it. The only reason I let you take me for ice cream without suggesting anything else is because I know you like it, and I like spending time with you."
