Chapter

* SIX *

Lauren usually enjoyed school, but over the next few days she couldn’t wait to get home. The second she got back, she shot straight upstairs and spent every spare moment before supper, and an hour or two before bed, too, skating on the rink in her magically transformed bedroom.

“I think I’d better have a quiet word with your class teacher,” Lauren’s dad decided on Friday evening, when Lauren and Storm came downstairs to get a drink in between figure-skating practice.

Taken by surprise, Lauren blinked at him. “Why?”

“You’ve been spending hours upstairs on your homework this past week. Your mom and I have hardly seen you. We’re worried that you’re having problems with your schoolwork,” he said, looking concerned.

“No! I . . . um, haven’t! Everything’s fine . . . ,” Lauren burbled, trying to think of an explanation. It would be really embarrassing if her dad went to the school and made a fuss. How was she going to get out of this? She threw a desperate glance at Storm.

Storm pricked his ears, and tiny gold sparks flicked out of the ends. Lauren heard a thud behind her and turned to see that the library book was on the floor.

She quickly bent down to pick it up. “Oops, I . . . um, left it on the chair. I must have just knocked it off!”

Her dad frowned in surprise as he reached out and took the book from her. “What’s this? Figure-Skating Techniques?” he read.
