For my mother, father, brother, and my secret-keeping friends. Also inspired by my dog, who will never tell anyone the secrets I tell her.

It was a sunny day in Miami, Florida, where two girls were meeting outside of their school. They were Catherine and Emma. The girls were walking over to Catherine's house to hang out.

When they arrived, they sat down on the sofa and played with Catherine's cute cat, Shelby. Catherine wanted to say something, but she couldn't think of what to say. Then, bam! An idea popped into her head: I could tell her a secret.

Do you want to come to my party?

Sure!

Catherine leaned in, pushing Shelby aside, and said," I'm going to have a party, but i'm only inviting a few girls, so don't let the cat out of the bag, or else they'll be jealous. Do you want to come?" "Sure!" said Emma excitedly. "I'd love to come! And I promise I'll never tell in a million years."

2 days later...

When Catherine arrives at school, she is very surprised by what she sees. A huge mob of kids swarmed her like angry bees. " Can I come? Can to your party?" they asked. "What? Wait, hold on." Catherine said. She looked over at Emma angrily. "Meet me at the park after school." Was all she said.
