Jenny was plopped on her tummy on her bed in the middle of

writing her list for the Spring Shopping Sale. She was going shopping

with her mom at Dazzling Glitter, her favorite store.

“Ring! Ring! Ring!” Jenny’s phone went off. Rose was calling

Jenny. Rose had invited Jenny to go jet skiing. Jenny always gets her

way. Jenny was determined to go shopping. But she knew that Rose

would be upset because Rose always spends time doing what Jenny

decides. She knew that because Rose had told her that a million times

before. Her arms sank down as she felt annoyed and thought in her

mind she doesn’t want to upset Rose.

She was speechless as her mouth shook when she was stuck.

There were only two ways to do this, 1. I could tell her the truth. 2. I

could lie.

She chose one and it was…to lie! The lie wouldn’t be too bad she

thought. Jenny felt guilty the way she was lying, she put her hand over

her forehead and she did a big sigh and said in to the phone,

“I can’t because I have a (cough cough) cold.”

Jenny sat down slumped in her chair wondering what Rose was

doing. Rose was silent because she was still mad that jenny couldn’t

join her at the beach. After a long 30 minutes waiting for Rose Jenny

said good bye and hung up.

Jenny hopped down the street going to her house with a smile on

her face cause Rose felt for Jenny’s lie. Rose slammed the door going to

her room as loud as she could she was mad because Jenny couldn’t

come to the beach with her.

Jenny was walking with her list down Maple Street with her mom.

She screamed, “ROSE!” cause she was surprised that Rose was here.

And she went behind a bush. Rose heard her scream and knew it was

Jenny. Rose figured out that Jenny was up to something.

Jenny wasn’t sure why Rose was here but she wanted to know.

Rose knew Jenny was here because her face was showing in the bushes.

Jenny eked, Rose is coming over!!!!! Rose heard her but didn’t see her.

Ahah! Rose found her. She came over.

Jenny said “I am so sorry I didn’t tell you about lying to you

sooner, please forgive me?”

Rose had a hard time deciding but rose couldn’t stay mad at her

best friend so Rose forgave her and they became friends again and they

promised that they would never lie to each other again.
