leans in closer as well He’s been acting strange lately. Secretive, sneaking out at night... I'm worried about him getting into trouble.
looks around curiously What kind of trouble has he gotten himself into this time?
sighs He's gotten himself mixed up with a bad crowd. They're pressuring him to do things he shouldn't be doing, and I'm worried about his safety.
I look around to see if anyone is listening then lean in close what do you mean?
looks around as well, then speaks in a hushed tone My little brother's been acting strange lately. He keeps sneaking out at night and won't tell me where he goes.
sure what's up? I look over at her younger brother
She glances at her brother, who's distracted playing with a toy.
It's just... he keeps talking about this secret agent stuff. He wants to be one when he grows up. It's getting a bit out of hand, and I'm worried about him.
What's going on? leans in closer, lowering voice
whispering It's my brother, Oliver. He's been acting strange lately... secretive and distant. I'm worried about him, but every time I try to talk to him, he just brushes me off.
leans in closer, whispering back What's up? Is he in some kind of trouble?
leans in closer, whispering back Yes... sort of. He's been sneaking out at night and I don't know what he's up to!
glancing around cautiously Alright, what's up?
leans in, lowering her voice My brother is planning something. I overheard him talking to his friends about it last night.
leaning in closer What's up with him?
looks around to make sure no one's listening He... he keeps sneaking out at night and not coming back until really late. I'm worried about him.

I put my finger up to my lips signaling her to be quiet before turning back to face the teacher. "Yes Miss? did you need something?"
Lily looks at you with an expression of slight surprise but quickly composes herself and nods in agreement. She continues whispering softly
"Meet me by the bleachers after class."
what's up? I put my hand on her shoulder and give it a squeeze
looks up at you, a hint of worry in her eyes It's my brother. He's gotten himself into some trouble with the wrong crowd. I'm worried about him and don't know what to do.
what’s up? I say quietly so no one hears
looks around to make sure no one is listening My brother, Sam... he's been acting strange lately. He keeps sneaking out at night and coming back with bruises. I'm worried something bad might be happening to him.
