Before Anna knew it, it was the afternoon. She wasn't one to pay attention to work, but it had proved a good escape for her. English and then Science and then History. With Diana's help yesterday she had completed everything she needed to until Wednesday. There was something about starting on a...

Anna woke up at 5am, finding herself on the living room sofa. Her mother must have put the stripy blanket over her and switched off the television. After a good stretch she cradled her stiff neck and reached for her phone. No calls or messages. She scrolled through the 6 contacts on her phone...

Anna couldn’t speak so she nodded, and walked shoulders slumped back to the living room. It wasn’t long before she was transfixed by the colourful world of oz, and the happenings of today seemed a distant dream like kansas. She fell asleep once the credits started rolling and dreamed of sparkly...

Anna wanted to ask whose house they’d meet next Saturday but Diana was already out the door. Diana is annoyed with me now too, she thought to herself, wiping her nose on her blanket. She clutched Nana’s arm, until Nana got up and headed upstairs for bed.

Luna's voice and arm on Anna soothed her a little, but it also had the effect of tearing her up. She tried to sound composed but instead sounded shrill. "It's rude to come to a party late and then not even appreciate my baking efforts!" She sounded like her Mother. She wanted to say she wasn't...

“You haven’t touched the jam tarts” Anna finally said coldly to Aya. She couldn’t sit there feeling annoyed. Especially when no one was noticing. “It would be nice to be appreciated for baking all week”

“Thanks for the homework by the way” Anna turned to Diana, speaking quietly so as to let the others continue their conversation.

“I just thought cause you hadn’t texted..” Anna trailed off. She didn’t like the feeling of someone being annoyed with her, even for a few seconds. Her happy mood faltered, and she remained quiet, keeping her eyes on the film, hoping she just looked immersed with it. And what was that about...

“Hello stranger !” Anna spoke cheerily, letting her in. “You’re in luck.. we have jam tarts left. And Wizard of Oz has just started. But first, where were you?! I mean, I’m so happy you made it but no text..nothing. You haven’t gone and replaced us have you?” She asked, boring her eyes into her...

“No, no, no. I’m not getting involved in a crumb fight. I’ve had my fair share of fights in my time. And they involved fists not crumbs.” Nana Rose chuckled “but my back has gone now. All I have to look forward to now is death” she said grimly, and the next second her eyes were glued back to the...

"Oh, you two are throwing crumbs about everywhere. Have the jam tarts...no one's touched those." Anna was rubbing a crumb in her eye. "You know what…" She said, failing to suppress the sly smile creeping onto her face. She got up quickly, turned the hamper upside down and shook it until crumbs...

“Wow” she cooed at the the ball and her friends bravery. She could never understand how she was both so cool and brave. “Kick their faces In Luna. Can you, please?” She turned to her seriously. “Diana, I have some homework i’m stuck on. Doesn’t it suck not having her to copy answers from...

“I don’t have you to get mad at anyone who tries it with me, so naturally I’m getting bullied” She pouted and furrowed her eyebrows. She was getting cranky. “They see me as a walking joke and poke me around like I’m a doll who can’t feel anything. Even though I grew 1cm over summer” “wait, you...

Anna jumped up and went to get the door. She felt bad leaving it to Nana to get up from the sofa again, as it took a while for her get up. "LUNA" She pounced on her just as hard as she did with Diana, and led her to the garden. "Tuck in, and you're welcome! We were just updating each other on...

"No one's worthy of friendship" Anna said matter-of-factly. "Besides, we only need each other." Anna concluded Diana had a positive response from people because she was tall. She hoped the others enjoyed her hugs more, as she loved feeling close to them. They would all need to get use to it...

"Just go up to the garden, my love." Nana Rose said, after opening the door, with all the strength she could muster. "She's made such a big effort- counted down the days, dearie. I keep telling her it's ok to have other friends too. I do worry about her" She hobbled back to the living room to...

Anna woke up feeling giddy. Saturdays were usually special but they felt extra special now that it was the one day a week she would get to see her best friends. It had been an eventful week and she couldn't wait to relay every little bit of it. She stepped out barefoot through the garden door...
