Vicky Angel (2000)
Vicky Angel
“I like my new hairstyle and my new nails but they don't seem part of me. I find I'm flicking my new fringe out of my eyes every five seconds and fiddling endlessly with the edges of my new nails until they flick right off.
“Stop all that fiddling and twitching, for God's sake,” Mum shouts. Then she looks guilty and makes me a cup of hot chocolate and cuts me a slice of iced sponge cake. She made it herself, the same recipe she once used for my birthday cakes. It makes me remember all those litt...le-girly parties. The icing sticks to my teeth as I think of Vicky blowing out my candles so she could steal my birthday wish.
“You're not crying, are you?” says Vicky. “I'm not crying and I'm never going to have another birthday now.”
“Have another slice, Jade, go on. Be a devil,” says Mum.
“Now there's a thought,” says Vicky. She puts a finger either side of her head to look like horns. “Maybe I'll try traveling down the way?”
“Maybe that's where you belong,” I say.
She's leading me into all sorts of serious trouble.MoreLess
