What would you hide?
So I am editing my novel (still) from last year, and I have come to a place where I need a little bit of interaction between two characters who are just getting to know one another. The set up is this:
Setting: teenage boy's bedroom
Other details: three male characters are present. the main character is good friends with one of them, but neither of them know the third person too well.
Action: the main character takes something out of a hidden place in his bedside drawer.
Quandry: what is it?
Notes:
It CANNOT be: cigarettes, weed, or other drug paraphanalia, or something so personal he would not take it out while his friends are around (ie. a diary or personal letter).
It CAN be: something which has bragging rights attached
So, what should it be?
I am open to random suggestions here!
