Glitter
“Mrs MacDougall’s husband has had a heart attack and needs nursing, so she’s left school until further notice and a new drama teacher is arriving this afternoon.
“I can’t wait to tell Joyce,” screams Cali, jumping up and down like a five-year-old. “I just hope whoever comes is a better teacher than Mrs MacDougall. I’m telling you, Hollywood here I come! What d’you wanna to be when you grow up, Libs?”
“It doesn’t matter,” I sigh, “it’s too late now anyway.” “What’s too late?”
“It’s too late to be... a proper violinist and that’s all I’ve ever wanted to be. You have to start playing when you’re really young to truly be successful at it and I’ve only had second-hand lessons from my friend Alice. I’ll never make it now, so just forget about it, OK.”
“Never say never,” she smiles. “That’s my mum’s favourite motto.”
At lunchtime I keep my head down and my mouth closed. Cali and Dylan stay close to me and we somehow manage to stay out of Tyler’s way.MoreLess
