the phone. “Is your mum around so my mum can discuss the arrangements with her?”
    Whilst Mum was still on the phone Molly returned from Carli’s.
    “Who’s that?” She gestured to the phone.
    “Frankie’s mum. Not that it’s any of your business!”
    “What did she want, then?” Molly demanded as soon as Mum had put the phone down. But I could guess by her aggressive tone that she’d already figured out the answer.
    “Uncle Bob asked me to invite the rest of my mates to Scotland with us,” I smiled evilly. “I guess he knows that you’ve only got the one friend to invite!”
    Molly made a lunge for me.
    “That’ll do, you two,” said Mum sharply. “If there’s going to be any trouble, neither of you will be coming. You can go and stay at Gran’s with Emma.”
    I should explain that Emma our older sister had to study for exams over half-term, so she was staying with our grandparents in Cuddington.
    “Well, how are we all going to get up there?” Molly demanded. “There won’t be enough room in our car.”
    Oh no! I hadn’t even thought about that! Fortunately Mum had.
    “I know that, Molly. That’s why Lyndz’s parents will be taking all the girls in their van.”
    Wicked!
    The only person we hadn’t heard from was Rosie-Posie, and I just knew that there wouldn’t be a problem with her. Her mum’s always a bit strapped for cash since her dad left, and they never get much of a chance to get away. I knew that she’d be keen to let Rosie have a break with us.
    Well, I was wrong again! When I got to school the next morning, the others were all in a huddle in the playground. I figured they’d all be chatting excitedly about Scotland, but they looked dead miserable.
    “Whassup?” I rushed over to them.
    “Rosie can’t come with us,” Fliss said quietly.
    “No! Why not?”
    “It’s Mum’s new boyfriend Richard, he wants us all to go somewhere together,” Rosie sniffed. “I tried to persuade Mum, really I did, but there was no way she was going to budge. She really likes this guy and she said this was really important to her. What could I do?”
    Rosie put her hands over her eyes and her shoulders started to shake. Fliss put her arm round her and Lyndz and Frankie looked glumly at their feet.
    I felt gutted. It just wouldn’t be the same if we weren’t all together.
    “I don’t know what to say Rosie, I really don’t,” I admitted. “We’re just not going to enjoy Scotland so much now, are we guys?”
    Nobody said anything. I looked at Frankie – and I swear she was laughing! Lyndz was bright red in the face and starting to splutter, and Fliss was trying so hard not to laugh that she was snorting down her nose.
    “Guys?”
    “FOOLED YOU!” they all yelled together.
    “You’re not the only one who can wind people up, you know!” giggled Rosie, slapping me on the shoulder.
    “You mean you can come?” I asked, gobsmacked.
    “’Course I can!” Rosie smiled. “Richard had mentioned about going away but when I told him about your Great Uncle Bob’s place he said it sounded a lot of fun and I should definitely go. He says we can go away another time. Isn’t that cool?”
    “Not as cool as us all going away together!” I said, and we all started doing a crazy jig right there in the middle of the playground.
    “Well, Uncle Bob, you’d better watch out!” I sang. “’Cos Scotland here we come!”

For the next few days, right up until half-term, all we could talk about was Scotland and what a wicked time we were going to have. I swear that even our breath turned tartan.
    Fliss’s main concern was – surprise, surprise – what clothes she was going to take.
    “I’ve got this cool little mini kilt with a dinky pin, and an Aran sweater – that’s Scottish, isn’t it? And I saw these great checked cropped trousers in Gap, Mum might buy those for me too.”
    “Get a life!” I scoffed. “All Mum said was that you should take plenty of warm things and some sturdy
