"Don't tell anyone," Jennifer said. "It's a secret "
Reagan sighed(叹气). Jennifer wanted everything to be a secret. But Reagan was getting tired of keeping secrets, especially from her best friend Lena.
"Hey, guys," Lena said, walking over and sitting next to Reagan and Jennifer at the table. "What are you talking about?"
"Well—" Reagan just began to say.
"Reagan! You can't tell her," Jennifer said. "It's a secret. You can't tell other people's secrets"
"But she should know this. It's about—"
Jennifer narrowed her eyes at Reagan. "If you can't keep a secret, I'll have to find another friend who can."
"But this isn't really a secret," Reagan said.
"Anything can be a secret. It's more fun that way."
"Well, it's not fun for the people who don't know the secret." Lena got up and walked away.
Reagan stood up. "I'll keep your secret because I'm your friend," she told Jennifer, "but I don't want to know any more secrets. Don't tell me anything I can't tell Lena. She's one of my best friends, and I don't like making her feel left out." Reagan turned and walked off after Lena.
"Wait!" Jennifer said. "You can tell Lena that tryouts(选拔)for the play are being moved up to Thursday. She should know because she's going to the tryouts, too."
Reagan smiled. "Secrets are fine sometimes. But Lena's our friend. You shouldn't want to keep things from her."
"You're right," Jennifer said. "Let's go to find her and tell her about tryouts right now."
