Answer 1

When I was in 6th grade, I learned a secret that completely caught me off guard. My best friend, who I had known since kindergarten, was moving to a different state and hadn't told me yet. We had been planning a playdate for the upcoming weekend, and I was looking forward to spending time together like we always did.

One day, while at my friend's house, I accidentally overheard their parents talking about the move. I felt a wave of shock and sadness wash over me as I processed the information. I couldn't believe that my friend was moving away without telling me. I was torn between confronting my friend about the secret or waiting for them to bring it up to me.

After much internal struggle, I decided to talk to my friend about what I had heard. It was a difficult conversation, but it taught me the importance of communication and honesty in friendships. Despite the distance that would soon be between us, my friend and I worked through the situation and remained friends. Our bond was stronger than the miles that separated us, and we continued to support each other even from afar.
