Chapter Seven

Ellie was great to sit next to in class. At first, I wondered if she might have a hard time keeping up, as she’d missed so much school. But Ellie was really clever and the light on top of Ellie-bot often flashed blue, which meant she wanted to answer a question. She told me that her mum had picked up all the books and printouts that she would need for this week’s lessons. Ellie had already become just another pupil in Badgers Class.

The last lesson of the day was science. We’d been learning about the digestive system and Miss Burnell told us to work in groups of three and gave us a printed diagram of the insides of the abdomen. We had to label all the parts. Ellie, Nia and I set to work and we’d finished it within minutes.

Nia leaned on her elbow and smiled at Ellie-bot.

“It’s such a shame you can’t come to the school fete on Saturday, Ellie,” said Nia.

The eyes of Ellie-bot wiggled. “I forgot to tell you!” said Ellie. “Mum said that Miss Burnell is going to take Ellie-bot along. So I can be there after all! Maybe not in person, but it’s the next best thing. Can I help on your stall?”

“Of course you can!” said Nia. “We’re in charge of the Hook-A-Duck game.”

“That’s great, Ellie!” I said.
