The Embarrassing Truth About My Friend's Past
My friend, Sarah, has always been the epitome of grace and composure. She's the kind of person who can walk into a room and instantly command attention. But what she doesn't know is that I hold a secret about her past that makes me cringe every time I think about it. Back in high school, Sarah had a terrible habit of talking in her sleep. One night, during a sleepover at my house, she had a particularly vivid dream about a boy she had a crush on. She started talking about him in her sleep, and even went so far as to confess her feelings for him! The worst part was that she had no idea she was doing it, and I was too embarrassed to wake her up. I still remember the look on her face when she woke up the next morning and I told her what had happened. She was mortified! It was a moment I'll never forget, and it's a secret I've kept close to my heart ever since.
