[edit] Summary
When stolen stories, secret crushes, and runaway radio shows come into play, no secret is safe.
[edit] Plot
The story starts with the revelation that Trent DeWhite has developed a crush on Mandy Straussberg. He asked Mandy to sit with him in the cafeteria, and Mandy wants to tell him something. Before she can say anything though, Trent loses his nerve and leaves, sure that Mandy has a crush on him too. The problem is that Trent thinks Mandy likes him because of the valentine he delivered to her in The Present Long Ago, which was actually made by Max Hampton. Trent goes to Max and tells him that he wants to tell Mandy the truth, but Max threatens to tell everyone that Trent likes Mandy if he does. Later Trent explains the situation to Connie, who to Trent's horror is writing it down in story form. (Which, unknown to Trent, was to be used in her secret book about Odyssey.) After making Connie promise not to use it he leaves Whit's End. Connie, then changes her mind and only changes the names of the characters. Not long after Mandy is talking to Connie, panicking that she hasn't written a story for her English class. Bernard comes in and asks Connie for help, and as she leaves she drops the story she wrote about the valentine. Mandy reads it and realizes that Trent didn't make her the valentine, and she uses the story for her assignment. Mandy then confronts Trent at school and asks him to tell her who the valentine was from, but Trent says that he can't because he was sworn to secrecy. He panics when Mandy tells him that she used the story about the valentine for her assignment, but Mandy tries to calm him down. Then Liz Horton comes and tells them that the story is going to be published in the Odyssey Owl, distressing both Trent and Mandy. Max reads the story and becomes furious, thinking that Trent spilled the secret to Mandy. He volunteers as a last minute guest for Candid Conversations With Connie, intending to tell everyone about Trent's crush. Trent, Mandy, and Liz walk into Whit's End, talking about the story, when Bernard tells them that Max is the guest on Connie's radio show. Trent is greatly disturbed, and runs off to the radio studio. Mandy and Liz follow, unsure why Trent is so worried. They burst into the studio, five minutes before the show. An argument ensues, and several secrets are spilled, including Trent's crush on Mandy, Max making the valentine, Connie writing a book about Odyssey, and Liz's crush on Alex Jefferson. Then they realize the 'On Air' light is on, and that their entire conversation was broadcast on KYDS Radio. After the show is over Max leaves quickly, and Connie, Liz, Mandy, and Trent talk about their confessions. Mandy tells Trent that in the cafeteria she had meant to tell him something about her parents, and that she only really likes him as friends. The four of them then laugh about how it could of been worse and list off some more of their deepest, darkest secrets noticing the 'On Air' light is lit again. Max pressed the button on his way out, and now even more of their secrets have been broadcast for all of Odyssey to hear.
