At morning break, Katie and Megan found out with a vengeance that Mrs Ross was right. The boys did know about the match, and they were furious.

David was too nice to do anything apart from grin hugely and tell them, “Watch out, you two – we’re going to win by probably about a million goals.”

But Max didn’t hold back. He swaggered up to the chestnut tree where the triplets and their friends were sharing Fran’s crisps, and posed arrogantly in front of them.

“What do you want?” sighed Katie, as contemptuously as possible.

Max smirked. “Just to let you know that you’re dead. Your stupid girly lot won’t know what’s hit them when they play a proper team. You’re gonna lose big-time.”

“We’re in the league semi-finals, you know,” Megan put in. “’Scuse me for mentioning it, but didn’t your team get knocked out in the quarter-final last week? I seem to remember you lost three-nil.”

Max shuffled his feet. “Yeah, well, we were playing decent teams, not girls. You’re only in the semis because the rest of the girls’ teams are even more useless than you. Just wait.” He waved a finger at them threateningly and turned on his heel, leaving the girls collapsing with giggles.

“Oooh, Katie,” chirped Annabel. “You’re dead! Aren’t you scared? Big bad Maxie’s gonna get you!”

Max’s ears turned scarlet as he headed back to his mates – somehow the girls hadn’t seemed suitably scared. He hadn’t expected they’d admit to it, but he’d thought they might have got cross, not just think it was funny! He really, really hated Katie Ryan. Perfect hair, perfect face, nasty little perfect smile… Well, he’d show them. The girls were going to get slaughtered – then see who was laughing.
