Back in the big house, Tessa phoned her mum and dad.

They were delighted to hear all about the scene she had acted in with Donny. ‘And how about the other girls? Are they nice? Have you made friends with them?’ Mrs Churchill asked at the end of the conversation.

‘I have made one brilliant new friend,’ Tessa said, beaming at Storm.

Tessa said her goodbyes and went up to her room. Storm scampered eagerly upstairs beside her.

Fay was sitting on her bed in a pool of light from her reading lamp. She wore a pair of yellow pyjamas with pink teddies and had her diary open on her lap. ‘Where’s Kelly?’ she asked Tessa.

Tessa shrugged. ‘I don’t know. Maybe she’s in the sitting room. Judith and some other people are in there watching a film on TV. It was great today, wasn’t it? I really love acting.’

Fay smiled shyly and her hazel eyes sparkled. ‘Me too. It wasn’t half as bad as I’d expected. I was really dreading it.’

‘But you were really good. Everyone thought so,’ Tessa said, surprised. Fay had said her lines perfectly and she’d only had to do them once before the director was satisfied.

‘Do you think so?’ Fay asked anxiously. ‘I always try so hard, but I never think I’m good enough.’

‘My dad says that you can’t do any more than your best,’ Tessa told her. ‘That’s what I think of when I get stage fright.’

‘I’ll remember that. Thanks,’ Fay said. She got into bed and slipped her diary into her bedside drawer before turning off the lamp. ‘Night. See you in the morning, Tessa.’

‘Night, Fay.’

Storm leapt on to Tessa’s bed and turned round in circles, making himself a soft nest in the duvet. As Tessa got undressed, she smiled to herself. Perhaps she might leave Harpford Manor with more than one new friend after all.
