Amy and Amber Read Online Free PDF

week of our lives, and instead she was miserable! “Why didn’t you talk to me about this?” I asked, more gently.
    â€œI wanted to, on the beach,” she told me. “But I didn’t know what to say. And I should have tried again this morning, instead of just getting into a state. I’m so sorry, Amy.”
    â€œIt’s me who should be saying sorry,” I insisted.
    â€œWell, OK, maybe it’s both of us,” said Kayla. She smiled at me, wiping her eyes, and I smiled back. I still feel guilty about how wrapped up I’ve been – I mean, how could I not have even noticed that she wasn’t enjoying herself?
    â€œThings will be different from now on,” I promised her. I gave her a big hug, and she hugged me back. “I suppose we should go and face the others,” I said then.

    She looked really scared about that. “But, Amy, what if they think I’m a thief and hate me?” she gasped.
    â€œIt’ll be OK,” I said, squeezing her hand. “We’ll explain what happened. They’ll understand.”
    She didn’t seem very sure, and neither was I to be honest, but we went into the TV room anyway. We explained what had happened and Kayla apologized to everyone a LOT for not giving me the camera straight away. They were pretty moody about it, and Shanika was annoyed that she’d had to search through the muck heap for no reason. I could see how much that upset Kayla and I squeezed her hand.

    Then Jody sent everyone upstairs to have their showers, but us two hung behind. And, with a lot of encouragement from me, Kayla told her about struggling in Group B. Jody was really nice about it (phew!) and she’s going to have a chat with Sally tomorrow morning.
    She also had the idea that we should think of something to do for the film, so that we’ll have some shots of us two together after all. We both thought that was a good idea and we’re going to come up with something. That seemed to cheer Kayla up a bit, and when we came down in our PJs for hot chocolate the other girls gradually started chatting to her again, so that was a big relief, for both of us.
    Well, I’m totally shattered now. Not too tired for a midnight feast though! It’s all quietnow, and Jody and Johnny have gone into their sitting room. I’m just going to give Kayla the secret signal to sneak down to my bunk, and then see if Millie wants to join in too.

Thursday after lunch
    It’s absolutely bucketing down (what a change from Tuesday!), so Jody suggested we stay put for a while and catch up on our diaries instead of heading straight down to the yard to do jobs. It’s really cool ’cos we’re all sitting round the kitchen table together sharing our glitter gel pens and things.

    Our midnight feast (well, 10.21p.m. feast!) was really fun. We tried to get Millie to join in but she was fast asleep, so it was just us two. We hung our towels down from the top bunk to hide our torchlight and we had to remember to whisper. We kept clamping our hands over our mouths every time a giggle came out, but that just made us laugh even more! We chatted for hours – and I can’t believe we scoffed that whole big packet of cola bottles!
    This morning when we were in the barn brushing our ponies down, Sally came and had a chat with Kayla. She was really nice, luckily – Kayla had been worried she’d be cross. “I actually think you’re doing really well,” Sally told her. “Cracker’s not the easiest pony, and you’ve made a lot of progress with him.”
    Kayla gaped at her. “You honestly think I’m doing OK?” she asked.
    “Yes, brilliantly,” Sally promised her. “And I’m sorry if that hasn’t come across. You should have confidence in yourself. But saying that, I’ll leave it up to you which group you’d like to be in for the rest of the week. We just want you to be happy here and have fun.”

    Kayla looked at me and I gave her an encouraging
