Secrets are hard, right? Keeping secrets is a difficult task, especially when you're asked to keep a secret from a friend. Let's take that scenario and use it. I want you to write a short (2-paragraph) story where the main character, Steve, is struggling to keep a secret from his friend, George. The backstory is George, Steve, and Sam are all good friends. Sam is Steve's best friend and asked him to keep a secret that he doesn't like George. Make sure the secret doesn't get revealed, but Steve struggles with it. The scene should only include George and Steve.

"Why won't you tell me what's going on?" George asked, Steve gnawing on his fingernails and kicking at the dirt. Sweat dripped down his neck as his thick hair stuck to the sides of his head. George forced him to stop, staring right at him. "Hey, you okay?" Steve nodded a little too quickly, George backing off. Although he narrowed his eyes as if trying to read Steve's mind, he didn't ask any other questions.

They continued down the pathway in the park, Steve hanging his head. George kept glancing over at him. Steve ignored each look, whistling to distract himself. It didn't work. The secret plagued the back of his mind until he felt as though he'd burst. He picked his head up and turned to George with a tight smile. The man tilted his head, Steve keeping a fake grin on his face. "Let's go get ice cream," Steve said to distract himself. George agreed. Just like that, they left, Steve begging himself not to let the secret slip.
