answer, as
Giny seemed to recall her argument.
“Well Sam wants a new member- she’s team
leader - and we need five for the routine cause it’s
a requirement for finals competition. I am top of
the tower and we need five to make it to finals.” She
raised her delicate shoulders.
I’d heard something similar in class.
“Okay. Why me?” I interrupted.
“Well you’re new, you’re pretty and you’re not fat.”
She shrugged. It was not entirely true. I certainly had
a little too much softness to my figure. She laughed
guiding the steering wheel with one hand. “You’re
fresh, so she-we- thought you’d be best bet. We’ve
got three months ’til finals and coach needs someone,
like now,” she confessed as though the urgency of the
predicament had dawned on her. I wondered if this
was her car. She drove it with ease but everything else
about her was second rate, her clothes and her address. She was so small and thin-boned I wondered
she had the strength to drive let alone see over the
steering wheel. I even found out later that Samantha
had bestowed her nickname.
I changed tack.
“What’s with the key mark on your paint work?”
“What? Oh that,” she said. “Some people around
here are obviously jealous.” The way she said it made
me wonder if she knew who the some-people were.
After checking directions with me I was dropped
off on the corner near my house. I smiled wryly as
the sleek black sedan drove off, with a clear S A M T
on the licence plate. This obviously stood for Sam –
something. I was relieved because this confirmed the
car wasn’t stolen. Giny dropped me out of sight from
my house. Probably incase my parents were home,
though if she had known my mother she wouldn’t
have bothered.
A hand on my shoulder made me jump, my brain
wracked with who it could possibly be and I turned
suddenly, shocked to gaze upon a face I had not seen
so close before, at least not in person. Part recognition
dawned and then confusion as she spoke, her bright
cobalt eyes blazing. “They are cunning bitches.” She
pointed in the direction of the black sedan. I noticed
she was dishevelled. There was a stick with a brown
leaf in her hair.
“Those girls. I am here to warn you.” Her face
was hard and ghostlike and then at once sympathetic
as she looked into my eyes, lowering her head slightly.
“Don’t hang with them, you’ll get burnt.” Her chest
was heaving. I was so shocked words weren’t able to
form.
Finally I managed.“Are you okay?”I asked sounding calmer than I felt. A dog started barking in the
distance.
She looked over my shoulder. I glanced in the
same direction. My mother appeared on the front
path of our house in her dressing gown. She called
to me, “Lila?” -waving in our direction. I felt a slight
breeze as I looked to where the girl had been standing
on the footpath in front of me. She was disappearing
around a nearby house on the corner. Trust my noninvolved mother to pop her head into my life just
when things were getting interesting.
    Later that night I received a phone call from my
‘friend’, the ringleader Sam. She invited me to watch
practice. Mum handed me the receiver. She looked
pleased and Sam’s voice chimed like crystal. She was
annoyingly polite. I flipped through the yearbook
again. Sam immediately picked up on my tone as
my mother left the room. She said she understood
if I was unsure, and asked what did I have to lose?
I had to agree. I looked at the page with the picture
of Cresida James. I had nothing better to do in this
town and despite my reservations, I was curious.
Even if they did egg me, at least I would know I was
alive, unlike the last few days.
    I convinced myself Sam sounded honest. Maybe
this would lead to some sort of life, I thought, even
though I had a feeling Samantha Thompson could
have seemed genuine whilst selling ice to Eskimo’s.
I ran through scenarios in my head and wondered
if they set up
