The Secret Place - Rachel Rooney
Acknowledgments
Thanks to Adela, Keira, Ellie, Maggie, Zoey, Grandma, Grandpa, Cigi, and Mom for being the test readers of this book. Thanks to Josh for doing my amazing cover illustration. Mrs. Brooks for having us read many different genres that helped me figure out how to write a chapter book. Thanks to Dad for helping me make such good cliff-hangers. This story was inspired by one of my dreams.
Chapter 1
Hi, my name is Ali, and I am one of the girls that live at Miss Jewel’s House for Girls. Here are some things you need to know. Haley and Lily are my best friends, and we all don’t like Rebecca. This is where our story starts.
Can you believe how mean they are to us?
I ask.
Ali, it is okay. Remember, we don’t pay any attention to them,
Haley says.
I know, but sometimes they get on my nerves.
I know, but we can’t let them,
Haley says.
What happened?
Lily asks.
Well, Rebecca and her gang knocked into us and said, ‘Like sorry, I didn’t see you there,’
I answer.
Lily says, I know, they are mean to you, me, and Haley, but we just have to ignore them even though it is hard.
*****
Here comes Rebecca, and she asks, Hey, guys, what’s up?
Haley, Lily, and I all wonder if she was just being nice to us. Just so you know, Rebecca is another girl at Miss Jewel’s House for Girls. She is really mean to us, but Miss Jewel adores Rebecca because she is so much like her.
Anyway,
Rebecca says, if any of you want to be part of my group, you can start being more like me and that is how you can get in.
Rebecca, we are not going to abandon our group to join yours,
I say.
Okay, that’s fine with me. I didn’t even want you in my group, anyway.
So I say to Haley and Lily, Right, we will never abandon our group to go to Rebecca’s.
Haley and Lily reply, Right, friends forever stick together.
Girls, we have some new girls here. Please come and meet them,
Miss Jewel says.
All of us girls say, Yes, Miss Jewel.
Girls, I would like you to meet Emma, Olivia, and Isabelle,
Miss Jewel says.
Hi,
Rebecca says. If you are classy, then you want to be in my group. If you’re not, then Ali’s group would be for you.
Miss Jewel, why do we have so many girls arriving at once?
I ask.
Well, they are triplets,
Miss Jewel replies.
Oh, girls, just so you know, we are going to London tomorrow. So you might not want to unpack quite yet. Remember that everyone has to be packed by tomorrow. I am talking to you Ali, Haley, and Lily. Also, remember wake up by 7:00 a.m. because we are leaving at 9:00 a.m. Okay, now get to bed,
says Miss Jewel.
Chapter 2
It was morning, and we were supposed to wake up at 7:00 a.m. But it is already 7:05 a.m. I forgot to set my alarm, and I got what was coming to me. I wake up to freezing cold water being poured on me. I exclaim, Ah! Who did that?
I should have known. When I sit up, I see Rebecca and her gang standing there, laughing holding a bucket. Ha ha ha,
I say. Very funny.
Girls, get ready now,
says Miss Jewel.
I go over and see Haley and Lily. Haley says, I was just about to wake you up and then they distracted us.
We had better get ready to go. We do not want to be left here. Let’s get on the bus,
I say.
*****
Girls, before we get on the bus, we are going to get breakfast here,
says Miss Jewel.
When we go down to breakfast, everyone is already down there; and all of the seats are taken, so Haley, Lily, and I have to sit on the floor.
Guess what? You know the new girls, Emma, Olivia, and Isabelle, well they decided to sit on the floor with us, and Emma says, I think that we should be in your group.
Then Olivia says, We saw what Rebecca did to you this morning, and we do not want any part of being in that group.
Well,
I say, welcome to the group!
Girls,
Miss Jewel says, we do not sit on the floor! We are at Miss Jewel’s House for Girls where you learn to become ladies.
Yeah, that is not happening unless we’re on a business trip with you. If we are not ladies, then we would make you look bad. In return, you would make us clean this whole place for a year. We don’t want to do that,
I say.
Okay, okay, let’s get on the bus,
Miss Jewel says.
Chapter 3
We get on the tour bus with a bathroom and everything because Miss Jewel likes to look official. Oh, and surprise, we get to sit in the back by the bathroom because
