That made Holly look stupid, and she soon stopped making fun of synchronised swimming, especially when Tom backed Sarah up. Instead Holly began to make fun of Sarah and Tom’s friendship. Sarah didn’t like that very much either, but it wasn’t so bad when there were two of them being picked on.

“Don’t worry about it,” said Tom. “She’s only jealous that we’re friends.” Tom did seem to be able to shrug off anything Holly said, and Sarah tried to copy him.

“It’s almost the end of term,” said Akram one very hot day. “We should have a party or something.”

“We could have a picnic,” said Holly.

“Good idea!” said Tom.

“I’ll make a cake,” said Lucy. “I’m good at that.”

“And I’ll bring crisps,” said Akram. “I’m good at that.” Everyone laughed.

Sarah smiled at Tom. The sun was shining, it was nearly the end of term, and Holly seemed to have forgotten to be horrible for the moment. Life was good.

“Where shall we have the picnic?” said Tom.

“Here!” said Holly. “We can still get on the school field, even when the school is locked up.”

“Wouldn’t it be more fun to go somewhere that’s not school?” said Tom.

“We could go to the park,” said Sarah. “It’s lovely by the lake this time of the year.”

Holly was cross. “I think my idea is best,” she said, but the others liked Sarah’s idea about the park more.

Sarah wondered if Holly was going to make a fuss, but the others changed the subject and soon they were chatting about picnic food. Sarah grinned at Tom. This was going to be fun.
