Drawing With Light (2010)
“Your parcel’s just arrived. Shall I bring it over later? xxx Yes please! xxx I text him back.

I text him again at lunchtime.
Can you borrow the car? Can we go somewhere instead, after school?
Can’t get car till later tonight. Mum’s at work. 8?
Come back to my place.
The day drags.
I had this fantasy of Seb and me going to our special place... in the wood, and me opening the parcel there. But it will be too dark, and it’s silly, really.
He picks me up at the top of the lane. I’m twitchy with nerves.
‘Good day at school?’ Seb asks.
‘Not really. What did you do?’ ‘Not a lot. Read the stuff they sent for the Level Two course.’ It’s hard for me to focus properly on what he’s saying.MoreLess
