Me and Arabella had such a cool time after lights out, too. Just as I was falling asleep, she shook my arm and suggested a midnight feast. I wanted to wake Millie as well, but Arabella said she only had two of the Sherbert Dib Dabs and it might be awkward ’cos it’s not the kind of thing you can share out. So I climbed up on to her bunk and we scoffed her secret stash of sweets and chatted, but in whispers so that Jody didn’t hear us. She was telling me about the amazing posh boarding school she goes to – she keeps Gracie in the stables there and she can ride her every single day. Imagine living at a boarding school with your pony! And think of the midnight feasts and the fun you’d have with the other girls. It must be like being at Pony Camp all the time! Honestly, her life sounds fabulous! And she’s going on loads of different holiday schemes, doing everything from drama to learning French actually in France. And she says her parents let her do whatever she wants, ’cos they live in Hong Kong and she only has to see them, like, twice a year or something.
