“It’s okay.â€? Holly whispered content that he was apologizing. It seemed like Trey was a completely different person in a couple of hours. Should she believe him? “I can’t wait till Secrecy day.â€? Holly blurted after an awkward silence.

“I forgot about that.â€?

“Yeah, remember? It’s like when everyone shares a secret with someone … they can trust.â€?

Trey paused, taking a moment to respond. “Who are you going to tell your secret to?â€?

“Um … I was … gonna tell you.â€?

“Me?â€?

“Well, who were you gonna tell your secret to?â€? Holly shot back.

“I … uh don’t know.â€?

“Uh huh.â€? Holly said with a smirk. “Promise me something, Trey.â€?

“Mhm.â€?

“You won’t freak when I tell you my secret.â€? She whispered, turning to look in his eyes.

“Okay. Promise.â€? Trey replied, “And you promise me something too.â€?

“What?â€?

“That you won’t be surprised when I tell you mine.â€?

“You’re telling me yours?â€?

“I just said that, didn’t I?â€? he snapped, laughing at her expression. Could this be real? Could they really be flirting?
