Like, It's Not My Fault!
*Evelyn POV*
Yes, yes, I like, told the "Muggle" world about Hogwarts. Like, so what? Like, what could happen? Sure, I like, broke a promise, but like, again, so what? I didn't like, mean to do any harm! All I did was tell my two best friends, Lacey and Peggy. And it spread in the next like, 5 hours. It's not my fault! I told them not to tell anyone, but I guess they broke their promise. I'm like, so disappointed in them. I walked up to them when we were at my house, on Sierra Street.
"Hey girl, hey!!!!" I said as I walked up to Lacey. "Like, Lacey! How you been? Like, I missed ya so much!" Peggy just stares at me. She gives me her "what are you doing" face.
"Uh, and Peggy!" she says to me. I don't know where that came from, she is usually shy.
"Okay, yeah and Peggy." I added quickly, "But, anyway, to like, more pressing matters, why did you tell the secret?! I told you not to tell!"
"Seriously, girl! Since when did you want a secret like that not told to public?!" Lacey asked, surprised, "I didn't think it was true anyway," she shrugged.
"Either way, I told you not to tell, Lacey!" I said kind of loudly. People were looking at me weirdly now. I was known as the Queen of Gossip in my town. I never talked about keeping secrets. I always told secrets. Never kept them.
"And Peggy!" Said Peggy, trailing behind us as we walked to my house. Did I mention that we were having a slumber party? No? Well we are.
"Lacey, I am your leader. If I tell you to keep a secret, I MEAN IT!!!" I yelled, ignoring Peggy, "And Lacey, you're my best friend ever-"
"AND PEGGY!" My goodness. Peggy is acting like, tots cray.
"And Peggy." I said, wanting to avoid her saying that again, "And I expect to be able to trust you with the secrets that I want to keep secret," I continued. Then, and like, out of nowhere, Peggy stood up and put her hands on my shoulder. She looked mad, but really strange. I'm telling you, she is always shy, and always does what I say!
"Look, Evelyn. You are getting all upset about what we did. We didn't even believe this was true. We thought it was one of your made up gossip stories. Stories to give you attention. Now if you are mad at us, think about James. If this is all true, how mad must he be? If you kept your promise, nothing bad would happen. Okay?"
I stared at her, in shock. I hadn't even thought about how angry James would be when I told him. "Like, look girl-" I started to say.
"Okay?" Peggy interrupted.
"Fine, okay," I said. "Lacey, I am very sorry for getting mad at you. And sorry for James." I can't believe it. I apologized! But Peggy stared at me with her arms crossed.
"And Peggy?" she asked, like I was pulling the final straw.
"Fine. Peggy, I'm," I started to say it, but I couldn't. "I'm s-s-s-s-so-ry. Sorry." I just managed to get it out of my mouth. I felt like throwing up. This is going to be a long, long, long, like very long sleepover.
