Luckily at school the next day none of the others asked how her parents had taken the news, as Sara didn’t think she could have told them without either bursting into tears or throwing something. (Preferably at her mother, but Lizabeth would have done as a substitute.) Her mum hadn’t even said anything when she called her down for tea, although Sara did think she might have been crying, which wasn’t like her at all.

Everyone doing the callback had extra lunchtime classes with Mr Lessing and Mr Harvey. Sara realized with horror that this meant she would have to be in the same room as Lizabeth. She might even be forced to talk to her. When it got to Wednesday lunchtime, she hung around with the others for as long as she possibly could.

“Aren’t you meant to be at the studio in a minute?” Lily asked, checking her watch.

“Mmm,” Sara replied gloomily.

“What’s the matter?” said Chloe. “I’d have thought you’d have been desperate to get started.”

“I would be, if it weren’t for Lizabeth being there, too,” Sara said crossly.

Lily stared at her. “But you’re not scared of Lizabeth!” she said in surprise.

Sara shook her head. “No. But I’m going to be the only Year Seven there. I just get this feeling that she’s not going to make it easy for me. I’m putting it off as long as I can, that’s all. I had better go, though.”

“Don’t you dare go in looking like that,” said Bethany sternly. “You know what Lizabeth’s like. If she gets one sniff that you’re worried, she’ll be on you like a shark smelling blood.”

Chloe laughed and Bethany glared at her. “You know it’s true!” she said indignantly.

“Yes, but Lizabeth the shark! I can’t help thinking of the shark from Jaws in a long blond wig.”

That even made Sara giggle and Bethany nodded approvingly. “Do – not –let – her – see – you – care – that – she – exists!” she added firmly, prodding a finger at Sara on each word. Then they frogmarched her to the studio and practically shoved her through the door.

Luckily Lizabeth and Nadia weren’t there yet, but, unfortunately, neither was Mr Harvey. Sara shut the door behind her very slowly and trailed over to the small group by the piano. All the boys were there and the other two girls. She forced herself to look confident and was rewarded by a friendly smile from the tall girl with startlingly green eyes.

“Hi. I’m Amy. Are you Sara? Well, you must be because you’re definitely not in our year! Congratulations! That’s really amazing, getting a callback for something like this after you haven’t even been here a month.”

Sara flushed. “Yes – I mean, yes, I’m Sara! I think it was just luck though, honestly.”
