“If we’re going to talk to Mrs Angel, we need to look really organised,” Izzy explained. “And we need to be able to answer any questions she’s got. So I looked this stuff up on the net. It’s sort of a how-to-put-together-an-event info sheet.”

“Wow… Show producer… Backstage manager… We haven’t got enough people for all of this,” Poppy said worriedly, leaning over their table to stare at the list Izzy had printed out.

“I think a lot of the jobs can be put together,” Izzy explained. “And Tara will do some of it, won’t she? We don’t have to do all this bit about finding outfits. And she mentioned getting her daughter to find models at the sixth-form college. But we have to decide when we do the show – not the date, that’ll be up to Mrs Angel, I suppose, but what time. If we want parents to come, it’s got to be after school, or in the evening.”

“Evening, definitely,” Poppy said. “My mum couldn’t come if it was after school, not unless she got an afternoon off work.” Poppy went to after-school club most days.

“Yes, but if we have it in the evening, we might need more than just the fashion show,” Izzy explained. “It says so here. About an hour and a half altogether, with an interval. And when you go to a concert or something, people always have a coffee in the interval, don’t they? So we might have to organise that too.”

“That’s a lot,” Maya said thoughtfully. “But I suppose people might not come for just, say, twenty minutes of clothes.”

“Exactly. We can say it’s a whole evening out.” Izzy nodded. She looked really excited, Maya realised, and now she wasn’t staring at her feet whenever she wanted to say something. Emily had stopped scowling at her all the time. She wasn’t exactly being friendly to Izzy, but at least she wasn’t muttering behind her back.

“How’s your project going, girls?” Mr Finlay asked. “Ready to show me anything? Mrs Angel says you can go and see her tomorrow morning.”

“Tomorrow!” Maya squeaked.

“Tomorrow’s fine.” Emily glared at her. “Please can we just have a bit longer to plan things before we show you? Even just ten minutes to make it all into a list?”

“All right. But I do need to see what’s going on. I’ll come back in ten minutes.” Mr Finlay looked distinctly worried.

“He thinks we’re going to get him into trouble with Mrs Angel,” Maya whispered.

Poppy nodded. “We probably are! We were only supposed to be doing a project – a big poster or something. Like the others.” She glanced around at the rest of the class. Most of the other tables had started making stuff to stick on to big wall displays.

Izzy laughed. “Not a fashion show, and a campaign to change all our school uniform. But we can make a display too – with all this stuff on it. Explaining how we came up with the ideas.”

“What are we going to use for the rest of the time at the fashion show, though?” Emily asked, glancing round at Mr Finlay.
