Honest

How I found out why Honesty is the best policy
It’s hard to tell the truth sometimes, and even harder when playing a joke on someone. Honesty is The Best Policy. I found out that you need to be honest to everyone; especially to the people you love. Someone could get hurt and you may not be the same with that person.
On a nice, warm night in September, I was at home talking on the phone with my friend Ashton. We both thought of a joke to play on my ex boyfriend Bobby. Ashton thought of the joke and I wanted to see what would happen. We thought it was funny at the time.
Ashton is really close to Bobby. They are like brother and sister. Bobby doesn’t like to tell people how he feels or show it all the time.

Tyson, Marcelino, are on his football team and Justin used to be on his team last year. Everyone told him and made it sound so serious and real except my little brother Marcelino. Ashton and I called him after football practice. We asked him if he told Bobby and he said no because it was too funny to tell him.

The next night Bobby texts me and said the he was hurt by the joke. I asked him who told him the truth and he said Marcelino told him. I was kind of mad and at the same time I knew I was wrong.
