PORNO

CHELSEA HAD JAMMED a chair against the door handle and climbed into Zeynep’s bed, taking the pillow. They had been in the laundry most of the evening, and Zeynep had secretly fed her falafel and salad. When her parents and Mehmet had gone to bed, both of them had crept down the hall to her room.

‘What are you doing?’ Chelsea whispered.

Zeynep was lining up Chelsea’s shoes with her own. She put her finger to her lips. ‘Don’t whisper so loudly please, Chels.’

Chelsea shook the doona vigorously.

‘Chelsea, you’ll need to move over a bit,’ Zeynep whispered as she tried to get into the bottom of her own bed.

Chelsea looked at her sharply. ‘Is that your sleepwear, Zeynep? I used to wear pyjamas like that in Grade 5.’ She wriggled a little but barely increased the available space.

‘Tracksuits aren’t very attractive either, Chelsea – at least that’s my opinion.’

The knives were out.

Chelsea’s dark eyes fixed on her from the other end of the bed. ‘Zeynep, I am homeless. These are my homeless clothes.

If I weren’t in your bed now, I’d be alone at the Hilton. Which would you prefer?’

‘In my bed,’ Zeynep answered quickly. She tucked Moonie in beside her.

‘What’s that?’

‘My bear.’ Zeynep folded her dressing gown into a neat pillow. ‘Could you move over a tiny bit more, Chelsea?’

‘It’s congested enough in here without a bear as well. Is it male or female?’

‘It has no sex, Chelsea. He’s just Moonie.’

‘He’s just Moonie. Does your mother know about this?’

‘Don’t be silly.’

Chelsea sighed. ‘I’m supposed to coach the rowers tomorrow.

I’ll have to cancel. A coach needs to be on the ball for her team.’

‘Do you want to see Angelo’s calendar?’

Chelsea sat up. ‘You didn’t tell me you already had one!’

‘Shhh! He gave it to me as a kind of dress-up present.’

‘Dress-up?’

‘He’s not supposed to have me; he has to have a Cockatoo girlfriend. Or they’ll sack him from the team.’

‘What, pray tell, is a Cockatoo girlfriend?’

‘One that’s been checked out and approved by the Cockatoos.

Not like me. They think I’m a lap dancer. So I’m going to dress up in disguise, like a guy. In Josh’s clothes. And Angelo is going to pretend to go out with Matilda. Craig said he doesn’t mind; he and Angelo had a boy-to-boy talk.’

‘WHAT?!’

‘Shhhh!’

Luckily her parents’ bedroom was at the other end of the house. Mehmet’s was next door, but he slept like the dead as soon as the light went out.

‘Matilda? I’m about to throw up. Why her?’

Ignoring the whispered questions, Zeynep got out of bed and took the calendar from its hiding place among her school books. The Boys Come Out To Play: The Pick of This Year’s AflDraft, it was called.

Angelo was rather shy about it because he wasn’t wearing any clothes, but you couldn’t see anything and he looked quite nice. She flipped over to May: Angelo Tarano displays his immaculate handballing skills. She presented it to Chelsea.

Chelsea gasped.

‘Be really quiet, Chels.’

‘Do you have a magnifying glass, Zeynep?’ She angled the shiny paper and peered closely at the photo.
