“That’s a great idea, Poppy!” said Tilly. “But it would need to be a really, really special one. One that could fly or grant wishes and taste really yummy too.”

“All three things!” squealed Tilly. “We should draw up a list of ingredients!”

“Do you think we can manage to make it?” said Jess.

“I don’t see why not.” Poppy grinned. “As long as you let me ice it!”

“You’re not going to believe what I’ve just heard!” Ella pushed back the door to the dorm. With a loud bang it sprang back, knocking the wall behind it.

Tilly, Jess, and Poppy nearly jumped out of their skins when Ella came in. They were sitting on Jess’s cloud, a pad of paper open in front of them.

Tilly quickly closed it and hid it behind her back.

“What’s that, Tilly?” Ella looked at their guilty faces.

“Er . . . nothing, Ella,” said Tilly, turning red and quickly flying down to her bedside locker to put the pad away.

Ella bit her lip. They must have been talking about her and just didn’t want to say. They’d probably been sighing over how stupid she was. She had just been starting to feel better too, after a little space and the fresh air had helped to clear her thoughts. Her friends looked at her awkwardly.

Ella broke the silence. “Well . . . um, I came to tell you something,” she said, a little frostily. “I just overheard Archangel Grace and Angel Seraphina talking. The water supply still isn’t fixed. The school might have to close early for vacation!”

“But that’s terrible!” exclaimed Jess.

“Oh no!” Poppy’s blue eyes were wide. “What will they do about sports day?”

“I guess it won’t happen,” said Ella.

“But school can’t close early. There were so many fun things planned,” said Tilly.

Ella swallowed. A lump swelled in her throat. It had been a long day. Suddenly she felt very tired. She didn’t feel like talking anymore. She didn’t know why, but for the first time ever at the Angel Academy, she felt like she was on her own.

Quietly she got undressed and into her pajamas before climbing into her bed and pulling her duvet up to her nose.

“Are you okay, Ella?” Tilly asked.

Ella screwed up her eyes and didn’t answer her. She bit down hard on her knuckles so they wouldn’t hear she was crying.

“I think she could be asleep,” said Jess, after a moment.

Ella felt a wave of relief that they weren’t going to ask her anything else.

Hugging her knees to her chest, she scrunched herself up tight into an unhappy little ball.
