Roberta’s Conundrum

Roberta here, with a bit of a conundrum. See, I was at my locker after school and I kind of overheard something that I wasn’t supposed to overhear.

Alex was talking to Sparky about a girl he likes.

He was saying how worried he was about what to get for that certain special someone for Valentine’s Day. Alex mentioned a box of chocolates (which I think is PERFECT for anyone, really), but Sparky was saying that maybe he should get this girl a pack of baseball cards and some gum.  I wasn’t sure which girl they were talking about, so I thought maybe it was someone who liked sports (and gum). But then Alex said, “I don’t know if Molly would like that!” And I couldn’t help myself, I had to interject. “No!” I said. “Alex, go with the chocolates. Molly doesn’t even like baseball.”

Whoops.

Alex turned BRIGHT red, and Sparky didn’t look too pleased. Well, it’s not my fault! They were talking, and I could hear them. I’m a rabbit! I have good ears!

Anyway, Alex said something quickly about going with the chocolates and then ran off. Sparky said, “Way to go, Roberta. He didn’t want anyone to know.” And then he stomped off.

I feel kind of bad, but I didn’t MEAN to overhear them, you know?
So now I have to decide: do I tell Molly what I overheard, or keep it to myself? Molly is my really good friend…but maybe Alex should tell her himself?

What would you do, friends?
