Hi I’m CatBug, and I will tell you the how my brother told someone important to me my two greatest secrets, and what happened after it was told to that person. But first let me introduce myself and everyone else. I’m 18 yrs. old and live in my own house with my brother Banjo who is 18, Leo, and Lou. Leo and Lou is sister, Lou same age as my brother and Leo same age as me, Leo and Lou’s real names are Lelo and Lily. Banjo is my brother; he’s 16 and is the most annoyingest brother in the world. So now that you know everyone let’s get to how it all started.
It was a late Saturday and everyone was in there room watching TV, and so was I until my brother came in without knocking and saw what I was watching. Banjo said” why are you watching this bro.” “I was just flipping to the next channel it not what it seems”. Banjo said” no you were watching that show, and I’m telling everyone that you’ve been watching that.” “No, don’t!” My brother ran right for the first door he saw which was Lelo, and if he was going to tell anyone Leo is the one person I don’t to know my secret. He was at her door when I tackled him to the ground; I knew that if I didn’t stop him everyone in the house would laugh at me until I die. I knew I had to try something to keep his mouth shut so I went with a deal. “If you don’t tell anyone, I will do whatever you say ok.” At first he looked at me then he told me “And if you refused any of my orders, what will happen.” “You can tell them without any problems from me.” “K you got yourself a deal.” In the morning my brother had the glaring eyes of happiness, and I knew what he was going to do right then and there. “Hey big brother can you check to see if this sandwich is still good.” “Ok lily bro.” I knew it was bad but I needed to taste it for him or else my secret will be out. So I took precautions and nimble on it. That sandwich tasted like someone put a well-made sandwich in a sewer the flushed it down the toilet, when a dog was using it. “Don’t eat it bro its bad k.” “K thank, you’re the best big brother ever.”
Two months I’ve been beaten, sickened, laughed at, and left behind multiple times and all of them were worth it as long as he doesn’t tell her. My brother figured out my other secret a month ago; he caught me slipping and figured out that I have a crush on Lelo. So now he has two secrets that he could tell her both those secrets, and since she’s living with us already it’s going to be weird being near her in the house. So now I’m doing double work to keep his mouth shut now, and it’s a pain in the butt. So it’s been a month since he figured out about my other secret, and he’s enjoying himself with those secrets. But last week he did something that pushed me over the edge, something that caused me to do the craziest thing and say something that I thought I was going to regret. I woke up on Monday ready to go to school, when I got out the showers I couldn't find any of my clothes, except my night clothes and a girly shirt with a kitten playing with yarn, with a note attached to it. The note said “wear me and go to school." That’s when my brother got me at the best time, because I had a presentation in front of the school. when I got to school I was wearing the clothes he gave me and I got laughed at by my school and my basketball team it was humiliating, and during my presentation everyone was staring at my shirt and snickering at me.
After the whole embarrassing situation at school, my brother laughed at me and told me "I got you good, and you know it." I couldn't lie he did, from the two months of being ordered around to the school prank he absolutely did. But I had enough of it, my brother’s orders ends now I told him. "No, more orders." he looked at me in surprised and he told me "k, I’ll just tell Lou and especially Lelo about your two little secrets." Then when I remembered why I did all this, so when I turned around he was running home. That’s when I knew I had a very difficult chase ahead of me, and it was going to be a long one too. So when I ran after him I already knew one problem he had a head start before me, but what he didn’t know was that there were short cut that I know to take. While my brother took the right route to get home from school and back home, while I took short cuts so I don’t get late to school and home. My brother is a block ahead of me so I took a short cut into the construction site; the construction site has been on hold for 2 weeks so I don’t have to worry about getting hurt. The short cut I took knocked off half a block so I’m catching up now, I know about two more short cuts to take the next one is across the junkyard, I’ve been there three times the only thing I have to worry about is the dogs which are always tied up to a chain. When I got into the junkyard the dogs were asleep, but the problem was that I was In a hurry so I had no time to be sneaky and quiet so I bolted right pass them with quickness, but I still woke them up and somehow they weren’t tied up so I was being chased by to crazy dogs. But now I’m passed my brother, I only had one last short cut that I can take to get me straight home the one the old broke bridge. The old broke bridge or some people call it “dead man’s drop.” It’s a 20ft fall to another street which is near my house, all I had to do is just fall down and go right on my street. Problem is that I could either survive or die, or even break my legs, but I had to take a chance. When I got there I jumped but the dogs stopped, so that solved one problem but I still have one more to deal with. The fall, luckily I planned ahead and placed four old bed mattresses together so they would break my fall. When I survived I went right on my street and went into the house, but somehow my brother got there before me. He was telling them my secrets, and that’s when my life was over, I could have a police a force take me away forever just to get out of here.
But surprised me wasn't them laughing but looking at me and walking towards me and told me what was on their mind about my secret. Leo surprised me that she also had a crush on me and she didn't know how to ask me out. And about the other secret, Lou didn't care that I watch the show even though she watches it too and Leo actually watches it as well so we were able to talk about it. So in the end my little brothers thought I was going to be laugh at and embarrassed but instead, he got me the girl of my dreams and a well settling TV show to watch. But after the whole entire craziness my brother explained to me how he got home before me, there were stairs near the bridge that was safer than my leap of faith down the bridge. Oh and if you want to know the TV show secret, it was My Little Pony Friendship is magic it’s the most girliest show ever and that’s why Leo and I love it.
