The Alien in the Garage And Other Stories
“I didn’t have, this morning. But I do now.
It’s a big secret. One that no one else knows.
It’s a secret about Lauren.
I heard it at lunchtime, from Danny. And he swore me to complete secrecy.
So don’t say anything.
It’s definitely true. Danny heard it straight from James, in his maths group. And James heard it straight from Jessica and Amy. He met them in the yard at break. And Jessica and Amy got it straight from Rebecca, who heard it from Charlotte, who lives in the same road as Sophie, who’s... Lauren’s best friend. So it must be true.
But don’t say anything.
I don’t spread secrets round, of course. Once you tell me something, it goes no further. You could trust me with anything. I knew about Amy’s pierced ears before anyone else, because I heard it from her cousin. I knew who was going to be in the football team for the Churchwood match, long before they put the notice up. And I knew when Miss Boyd was getting married. Well, I was passing the staff room and it’s not my fault if they leave the door open.MoreLess
