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?
Tisk Tisk Roberta! What was that all about??? Anyway, keep it to yourself Roberta, and go send an Apology Note to Alex!

Don’t tell Molly!! Telling someone you like them is just one of those things you have to do yourself. Alex will HATE YOU if you tell her (not literally, of course, but pretty darn close)!!!!!
Keep it to yourself, Roberta. Trust me on this one. All the best! MDIChickadee
Don’t tell! Alex would be embarassed and hurt. It happened to me once at school, at recess. We were talking about the boys we liked and what to get them . The mean girls heard us. They ran to the middle of the playground and yelled: kayla and makenna love mark and drake! after that everyone laughed, and teased us. But now me and Gracie got moved to a different school, and now we like other boys. So now i am going to keep quiet.

Apologize to Alex and keep it to yourself! Telling Molly will only hurt Alex’s feelings more. Even avoiding Molly so you can keep the secret is better than losing Alex as a friend.
I would find Alex and apologize to him and explain that you are his find and you will keep his secret for Valentine’s Day. Encourage Alex and maybe even help if you can.
You should let Alex tell Molly himself. Telling Molly could cost you a few friendships. Alex is already embarassed and upset, and Sparky was mad that you upset Alex. I think you should let Alex and Molly deal with their feelings for eachother and leave them alone. Hopefully they can bo together, though! That’d be really cute! They’d be a great couple!
P.S. I just learned that a conundrum means a problem or a puzzle… LOL.
don’t tell molly! he should do that when he’s ready (emphisis on READY)
WOW! Roberta!??? Really! YOU SHOULDN’T TELL ANYONE!!! Pls don’t! :)
I would keep it to myself.
