Claire.
‘If you d o n ’t hurry up w e ’ll miss th e bus. There

‘I’m com ing,’ said Amy, finally coming out of the bathroom . ‘Well,

Claire and Lisa looked a t each o th e r and s ta r te d to laugh.

‘W h a t is i t ? ’asked Amy, worried.
‘Amy, w e ’re going to th e C h ristm as party on Bondi Beach, not

‘You c a n ’t sta n d up now in th o s e shoes. How are you going to

Australia.
Amy cuddled koala bears, Lisa b u n g ee-ju m p ed o f f a bridge in
Cairps and Claire m a d e t h e m w a k e up really early so t h a t sh e
could ta k e p h otos o f Ayers Rock a t dawn. 1 But th e y all agreed

Next S e p te m b e r, a f t e r this y e a r o f travelling, Claire w as going

Lisa w as thinking a b o u t j o i n i n g 2 th e police, a lth o u g h h er Dad

she could go shopping all day, every day!
But now, they still had a n o th e r six m o n th s left o f p arties and

Claire.
‘Yes, and you h a v e n ’t given m e back th e five dollars you o w e 2

Lisa looked upset. She didn’t plan to fo r g e t her money.
‘It d o e s n ’t m a t t e r ! ’ she said. Angry, she w en t over to a n o th e r
group o f friends. ‘D on’t ask m e fo r anything in future!'
‘Lisa!’ sh o u ted Amy and Claire. But she ju s t ignored th em .
Later, as th e p a rty w as finishing, Amy and Claire w aited for
Lisa so th e y could go back to th e youth hostel to g eth er.
