The half-term was starting. The sun had started to come out after Mrs Mayfield had stopped turning back time. It was a nice day so they went to the closeby beach. The seagulls were squawking  and the sun was beaming.

The birds flew through the sky. The water sang beautifully, and the noise of the little children running round. Elizabeth was lying down on the towel while Mrs Mayfield got ice cream for the both of them. After Elizabeth and Mrs Mayfield Elizabeth went into the water.  As both of them got back, Mrs Mayfield cooked Elizabeth her favourite meal. That night Elizabeth went to bed. She fell asleep straight away whilst she was stroking Ann.

In the morning the birds tweeted and sang. Mrs Mayfield had gone to work since she only took the day off yesterday. Elizabeth went outside to play with her friends. They played hopscotch, jump rope, tig, until they all got hungry and went home. Elizabeth had the leftovers of the chicken noodles from yesterday. She went back outside to see if anyone was still there, only her friend Penelope. 

“Why are you still outside?” Elizabeth asked politely.

“My mum isn’t in and we don’t have any food,” Penelope said.

“Come to my house,” offered Elizabeth.

“Really? Thank you so much,” Penelope said.

Elizabeth gave her some food and they both sat down on the settee. One thing Elizabeth was scared about was that Penelope would find the secret.

She wasn’t that clever after all, but the wall and the paint had cracked from the door opening. Elizabeth said they should both play outside just to be safe.

That same night Elizabeth was relieved because Penelope had gone home early because her mum came home earlier. Mrs Mayfield and Mrs Wheeler (Penelope’s mum) work at the same place so they both came home at the

same time. When Mrs Mayfield went upstairs to have a shower and get changed, Elizabeth realized the plant had been moved and the door had been open. She didn’t want to believe it, her worst fear came true… When Mrs Mayfield came out of the shower. Elizabeth told her everything. Mrs Mayfiel told her not to worry. And that it will get sorted, but it wasn’t alright for me.

The secret was out, and because of Elizabeth. She had never felt so guilty. The worst part was, Peneleope has the biggest gob in the entire school. She would not hesitate to tell anyone. The secret she was trusted to keep had just been spilled. On the bright side, Penelope might have not known what it was and what it was used for.
