Luz stares at the cherry blossom tree, “Beautiful,” Luz thought. She heard Edalen call out her name. Edalen had whitish grey black hair and she wore a dark red dress with a golden gem in the middle.

“Luz!” Edalen called out revealing her golden tooth. Luz turns her head and walks toward Eda.

“There you are, Luz!” Eda says with her hands on her hips.

“Sorry Eda, I was distracted.” Luz says poorly.

“It’s alright kiddo, we all get distracted.” Eda says patting Luz’s back. Edalen taps her staff on the grass.

My Secret

You know that thing that eats away at you but you know you can’t tell a single soul? We all have those secrets. We have small secrets, like you knowing who likes your best friend. But we also have the big secrets, like a shadow that follows us around, but when we look, it's gone. Some people have their secret keepers. But my secret is the type you don’t talk about. You might write about it, but if you do there's a chance the writing can be found. I will take the chance of the writing being found over trusting someone with a secret like this…

Here's a little backstory...My parents are the curious type. They build these weird things like time machines. No one knows what they really do except for them.

Secrets

Rebecca had always been a good girl. She was always nice to everyone and had good manners. Everyone thought she was an angel child. However, she was far from perfect. She had many secrets of her own. Every Friday night she would go out on the town and meet up with a boy named Jacob. Her parents were very strict and they forbid her to hang out with any boys of any kind. So she did the only thing she could do, she lied. She said that she was going to her friend Macy's house for a girls night. When in reality she was out with Jacob. Since Rebecca's parents were strict they would call Macy’s house to check in and see what they were up to. Since Rebecca wasn’t there Macy would always cover for her. Every Friday night Rebecca’s parents would drop her up at Macy’s house. She would spend two hours with Macy recording a bunch of tapes for when her parents called. All Macy had to do was just play the right ones.

This is my secret

It is 7:30 AM, the sunrise is beautiful and I cannot wait for the day to start. I look at the mountain and start to climb. Today for me is one of the best days of the year, it is not a holiday, it is not my birthday, and there are no friends to meet, it’s just me.

I stop for a break. It is 12:30 PM and I am about halfway up the mountain. The sky is blue and the birds sing an enchanting melody. I could stay here for hours, but I must get to the top of the mountain. I stretch and get up. It is time to go.

The Secret Sandwich

One day a guy named Clyde decided to make a yummy sandwich. He added on the toppings and put it in the toaster. He took it out and let it cool on the counter. Then his brother Jessy picked up the sandwich and ate it. He quickly ran away before he could notice it was gone. Clyde came back and was surprised to see his sandwich was gone. “WHERE IS MY SANDWICH?!” Clyde yelled. Jessy walked by. “Jessy did you eat my sandwich?”

“No, I did not lay a finger on that sandwich.” A few weeks later Jessy decided to admit that it was him that ate the sandwich. “Clyde I have something to tell you.”

“What?”

“I...I...kinda ate your sandwich. I am not sorry because that sandwich was so good.”

“Why would you do this?”

“What, all I did was eat that yummy sandwich.”

“You need to get me 2 sandwiches now.”

“Fine.” Jessy then goes to get the yummy sandwiches.

“I see that you brought me my food?”

The Secret

9:51pm
I snuck down the roads of Berlin watching for German night shift guards. The world was in the midst of the second World War and I was a French spy for the allies. Germany was winning the war and we needed all the possible information for the invasion of Normandy coming in two days. I walked briskly through the streets trying not to draw attention. I had vital info for the allies and I had to get it there before midnight. A guard turned the corner and ran straight into me.
“What are you doing out past curfew?” he said in a gruff voice.
“Sorry sir, I was just going to help my aunt who had a heart attack about an hour ago.” I lied.
“Well, do it in the morning. Get home now or i'll arrest you. Where do you live?”

The Secret About Fish

Kate was a girl with short blond hair, blue eyes, and two best friends who were always there for her. Her parents were divorced and Kate was with her mom most of the time. Sometimes Kate felt lonely because she wanted a friend that could be with her for the whole day, not just sleepovers and playdates. But, her mom, Emily said no to her having a dog, a cat, a bunny, or a fish.

That night Kate had an idea. The pet store was close to her house, and on the way to and from school and Kate had been saving her money for a pet even though her mom had said no. There was a small tank at the pet store, possibly small enough to fit in a school locker. Kate made sure she left home early enough so that she could stop at the pet store on her way to school.
