Mad has very good advice. I'd say to tell your friend there's something you'd like to talk about, instead of bursting it out.
I didn't exactly plan on telling someone in real life but we kinda got on the subject of scratching mosquito bites and I sorta hinted it out without thinking and she found out that way, but I don't think that's the best way to do it. Although, if you text or in my case through facebook inbox, my friend wanted to talk about it more in person which led me to feeling so anxious because I've never discussed with a friend in real life before...so I'd say choosing to say it face to face right away avoids that build up of fear. Good luck and let us know how it goes :3
