Keeping a secret had never been hard before this. Stephanie had always been good at keeping things to herself, which was why her friends told her everything. Sure, she always knew the latest piece of gossip, but if one of her friends had told her not to tell, the girl would simply adopt an air of “I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Add to that the glare she had learned from her quarterback brother and, well, people didn’t press for information.
That had been before. Now, all Stephanie could think of was what Judy had told her: she and Eddie were engaged! It was their last year of college; everyone expected it. But now that it had actually happened, Stephanie was the only one that knew. Every time she walked by someone, she had to bite her lip to keep from blurting out the good news. Every time she was tempted, though, she thought about her best friends, how disappointed they would be if THEY didn’t make the announcement themselves. Thankfully, she didn’t have to hold out much longer; Judy and Eddie would be telling the world that afternoon at dinner.
((How's this? I can keep going if you'd rather that...))

ooc; So far so good, mon ami. Now for your challenge, which will also help to demonstrate your ability to interact and roleplay. Remember to switch to first person POV.
-----------------------
Challenge:
Judy spotted Stephanie across the room, and stormed over, innocent bystanders in her path be damned. Mustering as much tear-soaked rage as she could, she stammered, "You told! How could you tell, Stephanie?!"
---------
-- It's vague. Up to you to provide details.

Whipping my head in the direction of the chaos (was someone stampeding through the caf?), I spotted Judy. "Hey," I started to call, my next words dying in transition from brain to mouth as I saw her expression.
"What's wrong, Judy?" I asked, concerned. "Is it ... Eddie?" I murmured, my thoughts going (logically, I thought) to the first thing that might make Judy cry. If he had broken it off...well, let's just say that he'd have to face the wrath of the female half of the athletic department; all of us knew and loved Judy.
"You told! How could you tell, Stephanie?!" came the words that I had never expected to hear.
My eyes widened in shock. "T-told?" I stammered, confused. "Judy, I didn't tell anyone." Looking around, I lowered my voice, trying to be comforting. "What on earth happened?" I asked, more than a little concerned for my friends as well as curious.
