She changed into her school dress and made her bed carefully, so there wasn’t a single wrinkle. She was just arranging two teddies on her pillow (side by side, but not quite touching) when Harry’s alarm sounded in the next room. Penelope breathed deeply, trying to block out the motorbike sounds. This was an important day in her life. She was determined to stay good, sensible and calm. Today had to be perfect. Unfortunately, the kitchen was terribly messy, with all the dishes from last night’s dinner still out on the bench. Penelope opened the fridge and sniffed the carton of milk. It didn’t smell too bad, but she decided to play it safe, opting for wholegrain toast rather than cereal. Penelope forced herself to pay no attention to Harry’s alarm, which was still buzzing at regular intervals. Ignoring an alarm, even if it did sound more like a mosquito than a motorbike at this distance, was extremely difficult. But, truly, Penelope had enough to do this morning preparing to meet Brittany O’Brien.
