Betrayed! (2)

Sara: Well, you have to do something. Otherwise, Veronica will keep taking advantage of you and telling your secrets.

Kelly: I don't know if I would say she's taking advantage of me. She probably just forgot that I told her to keep it secret.

Sara: That seems very unlikely. This is not the first time you've come home upset that Veronica betrayed your trust.

Kelly: Yeah, maybe you're right, but I don't want to confront her. It might hurt our friendship.

Sara: So what kind of friendship is that? I know you don't like conflict, but you should still talk to her. You need to discourage her from doing this kind of thing in the future.

Kelly: Talking to her might help, but it also might make her really mad.

Sara: Why should she get mad? She's the one who's out of line! She needs to know you're upset. Not to mention, she owes you an apology!

Kelly: Thanks for the advice. I need to think a little bit more about how to handle this.

Sara: So, what was the secret anyway?

Kelly: Ha! I'm not telling you.
