What Secrets Lie in The White House

The Diary

Scarlett poked her head around the corner, and gently made her way around the room, staying close to the edges of the wall. "Boo!" Scarlett whispered into Carly's ear. "Noooo!" Carly laughed, "I lost!" she said as she went to hug Scarlett. "How, come you always win?" Carly sighed as she layed back on her elbows. "It's just tactics," 

"I wanna play, again!" Carly shrieked jumping up and down. " Noooo." Scarlett sighed " I can't, I have homework that's due in three days. Besides, wheres Mia, and Tom?" Scarlett asked, as she picked Carly up and started walking away from the kitchen, swiping an apple on the way. " They can play with you."  

"Yeah, no. Mia is busy having a sleepover, and i dunno where Tom is." Carly mumbled. 

"Fine, you can hang out with me in my bedroom, and help me finish my homework." Scarlett sighed. " Yay!" Carly, shrieked kissing Scarlett on the cheek. 

When they arrived at her bedroom, the door, was slightly opened. "Ugg!" Scarlett sighed, "Mia?"Scarlett yelled letting go of Carly's hand. "Whats wrong?" Carly asked twirling her hair. "Mia and her friends went though my room." Scarlett sighed as she went into her room. "Everything looks normal." Carly said as she went to sat down on the couch. 

"Yeah," Scarlett said as she went to sit down on her bed. She laid back and put her hands under the pillow, and felt a book, and pulled it out. "What the?" Scarlett mumbled as she turned over the book and examined it. "What Is it?" Carly asked as she went and leaned over Scarlett's shoulder. "It's a journal. And it has a note on it" Scarlett said. "Read it." Carly said returning to the couch. 

Scarlett read the note out loud, "To whom is lucky enough to read this." She read. "weird" Scarlett whispered. She opened the journal, and dust flew up. "Eww! Gross." Carly stuck out her tongue. Waving off the dust Scarlett began reading the front page. 

This journal belongs to, Abraham Lincoln. 

 "no way." Scarlett mumbled. "Is this a joke?" Scarlett asked to no one in particular.

"Is what a joke?" Carly asked. "Nothing, Nothing." Scarlett mumbled as she got up and put the book back under her pillow. She went towards her bookshelf and started to look for a book.  "Im Going to go eat dinner."Carly said as she made her way out the door, "You comin?" Carly asked. "No, im not hungry." Scarlett said as she picked up another book and began flipping through it. "Suite yourself." Carly said as she left the room.  

                                                                                                 *  *  *

Knock.Knock. 

"Who is it?" Scarlett asked. 

"It's me."

"Me, Who?"

"Tom."

"Oh, come in." Scarlett said as she sat her book down. "Hey," Tom said as he sat down on her bed. "Why weren't you at dinner?" Tom asked. "Busy." Scarlett said, Bringing out the journal and started reading it. "With what?" Tom asked. 

"Can you keep a secret?" Scarlett asked smiling. "Yeah, Why?" Tom asked. "I found something." Scarlett said

"What?"

 "A journal."Scarlett said holding up the journal. 

"Who's" Tom wondered.

 "Abraham Lincolns."
