The secret's out

by Katie Kimball

Stephanie's Got a Secret. She is the writer of her school's hot new gossip column, and not even her closest friends know about it. But Stephanie's got a problem. It's not easy coming up with exciting stories every week, so she has to bend the truth a little bit. When everyone learns that Stephanie writes the column, she's the coolest kid in school. But two of her biggest, wildest stories were made up. What will happen when her classmates find out? Will Stephanie still be hot, or will she lose all her friends?
