CHAPTER 15

Best Friends

Molly sat on the rack on the back of Pim’s bike. It was much less comfortable than the yellow bike and she yelped when they went over the kerb.

‘Sorry,’ Pim said, ‘I warned you.’

‘You don’t have to ride like a maniac, though.’

‘I do actually, if you want to get there on time and you should go in before me so nothing looks out of the ordinary. Otherwise, everyone at school will start wondering.’

‘Not just everyone at school, the authorities too,’ said Molly, with a shudder as she thought of her chocolate balls crammed in the fridge. ‘And they’ll take me to an orphanage and whip me if I’m bad.’

‘And you’ll probably die of pneumonia too, and be buried in a shallow grave and—’

‘Not funny,’ grouched Molly.

But Molly’s absence hadn’t gone unnoticed. It turned out she was quite late, and when she entered the classroom things were already underway.
