The secret

You can't tell the secret

I ran after him, to find out what he was going to tell Mr Jong. I was saved by the bell.

We had Mr Jong in English “Jonathan, what was it you were going to tell me three minutes ago?” Mr Jong asked. “It is the new kids, Amelia and Henry, they told everybody in class, that they have met the king and queen of Horpa. They also say that they have seen the decreased crown prince and taking a picture of him, where you can’t see his face” Jonathan said. “Okay, Amelia or Henry can I see the picture,” He said. “Ofc, here it is,” I said and showed him the picture. “Interesting, but how did you get a picture of him, if no one can see him in real life,” He asked. “It is because our families are really good friends, they have been friends in generations, so we are best friends with the princes and princesses, sometimes we even get to come inside the castle and see the king and queen, but only sometimes, because they are really busy, but we have seen the princes and princesses without something on their faces” I said and they all gasped. “But we don’t know where in the world they are now” Henry added.

After school, I overheard Mr Jong, the principal and some other teacher talk about me and Henry, so I got curious and listened. “I think they are lying about who they are,” Mr Jong said “, In class they said, they have met the king and queen and they have seen the decreased crown prince AND taking a picture of him” He added. “When they came, their parents weren’t there, it was their aunt,” The principal said. I wanted to tell then, who we are so badly, and I was on my way over to then when Henry came “Come, Auntie is waiting, and she has Caroline, Micah and James with her” He said. “They are talking about us, they think we are lying. Don’t you want to tell them” I said and pointed at the teachers “Even if I do, we can’t tell anyone, we promised grandma, grandpa, MOM and DAD. If we do they are telling everybody they know, and then we can’t live happily” He said. I walked away from him

“DO YOU REALLY DON’T WANT THEM TO KNOW” I yelled. s**t, I yelled, if aunt Rebecca finds out I’m going to be grounded. I felt on the ground and the teachers came over to me “Amelia, are you okay” Mr Jong asked “I…I…I…I yelled, I’m so sorry, it won’t happen again, I promise” I said. Henry came over to me “Please don’t tell Auntie, you know what she is going to do, so please don’t, I want to say it to her” I begged him. “What is she going to do, Amelia,” The principal said. “She is going to ground me, just like our mother used to do,” I said, “What did your mom use to do?” Aunt Rebecca asked. All the teachers left us alone. “She used to ground us, if we did something bad, remember,” Henry said. “Ofc I remember,” She said. “Auntie, I yelled at Henry, please ground me, I deserve it,” I said, she looked disappointed. Caroline ran over to and hugged me “I missed you so much” She said and kissed my cheek. “Line, did you have fun with Auntie today,” I asked “Yea, I playd wth Michi and Jamie,” She said. I looked at aunt Rebecca “Isadora, I’m disappointed at you, you are grounded for two weeks and no candy, and Henry I’m glad you didn’t yell back” She said

On our way out, we saw Mr Yong and the principal “Mrs Smyth, can I borrow you for a moment, it is about Amelia and Henry.” The principal asked. “Of course, Amelia and Henry can you two watch Caroline, Micah and James,” She asked, and we nodded. They walked away. Micah and James both slept in their twin stroller “So this is your sister, right” Mr Jong asked. “Yes, it is our little sister, her name is Caroline and she is three years old,” Henry said. “And this is our cousin Micah and our little brother James, they are both one year old,” I said.

“ISADORA AND AUGUST, YOU ARE BOTH IN BIG TROUBLE” Aunt Rebecca yelled
