Another Me (2003)
“Horrifed that my soft, golden hair now stood out in spikey, unsightly tufts on my head. I had cut it. I had chopped it. I put up my hand to flatten it down, but it just kept springing up again.
Kaylie came over and hugged me. ‘What have you done?’ she said again.
‘I saw her,’ I began, then, remembering I hadn’t actually seen her, I corrected myself. ‘I almost saw her. Almost caught her. Mrs Brennan saw her. She spoke to her. She thought it was me.’ Dawn tutted. ‘She’s an old bag. Blind as a bat.... She was probably just mistaken.’ I turned on her angrily. ‘Everybody can’t be mistaken. There is somebody else.’ They were looking at me as if they didn’t know me, almost as if they were afraid of me.
‘What’s happening to you, Fay?’ Kaylie asked.
I touched my hair. ‘You remember what Mr Hardie was saying about clones? Well, I’ve changed my hair. Her hair is soft and shiny, but mine isn’t anymore. Now nobody – nobody! – will mistake her for me again.’ Drew Fraser stepped from behind a corner of the playground.MoreLess
