“So, are you looking forward to having bunk beds, Danny?” asked Auntie Yee.
“Yes, I can’t wait. I am going to invite my best friend Ravi over for sleepovers; I’m seeing him later at the park.” Ma shifted in her seat. She liked Ravi. I didn’t think she would disapprove of him staying over, and, in any case, she and Ba worked nearly every evening, so I was alone upstairs. Ravi could keep me company and we could hang out. It would be great to have someone to talk to when my parents were working.
“Amelia never used the top bunk – it was pointless having it to be honest. Adrian thought it would be good for friends staying, but Amelia is too busy for those kinds of things – even weekends are full.” Amelia suddenly looked strange for an instant, and then took a deep breath in. I thought she was really popular at that fancy girls’ school her parents paid for, but maybe she wasn’t.
“I’m happy it’s gone. Sleepovers are immature,” Amelia mumbled. She looked up at us all for a moment, then went back to focusing on her screen. Ma poured the tea.
I sat there wondering what I should do. I picked up a sweet egg roll and started munching it. The yellow flakes fluttered onto my lap. I wiped my hands on my trousers. Then slid on my trainers, which were kept at the bottom of the stairs. Ravi would be waiting in our spot at the park, and any excuse not to listen to Auntie Yee comparing me to Amelia was worth going out for. Amelia and Auntie Yee, CYBORG DEVILS, both of them, bashing whole villages with their handbags of destruction. Their sonic singing would shatter even the strongest windows.
“Su Lin, has Danny told you about the maths competition that all of the schools in the area are entering? Amelia is sure to win, as she’s been working on it for six weeks now.” Amelia’s face went bright red. “While other children frivolously play in parks…” Auntie Yee looked at me, “my Amelia has been working tirelessly on her presentation skills.” I bit my bottom lip. My class had been nominated to represent the school in the city-wide competition called Maths Is Fun too. Oh God, we didn’t stand a chance against Amelia aren’t-I-ever-so-clever-and-good-at-everything Yee. It would be one more thing for Auntie Yee to lord it over my ma with. Brilliant. Not.

She looked up at us all for a moment, then went back to focusing on her screen. Ma poured the tea. I sat there wondering what I should do. I picked up a sweet egg roll and started munching it. The yellow flakes fluttered onto my lap. I wiped my hands on my trousers. Then slid on my trainers, which were kept at the bottom of the stairs. Ravi would be waiting in our spot at the park, and any excuse not to listen to Auntie Yee comparing me to Amelia was worth going out for. Amelia and Auntie Yee, CYBORG DEVILS, both of them, bashing whole villages with their handbags of destruction. Their sonic singing would shatter even the strongest windows. “Su Lin, has Danny told you about the maths competition that all of the schools in the area are entering? Amelia is sure to win, as she’s been working on it for six weeks now.” Amelia’s face went bright red. “While other children frivolously play in parks…” Auntie Yee looked at me, “my Amelia has been working tirelessly on her presentation skills.” I bit my bottom lip. My class had been nominated to represent the school in the city-wide competition called Maths Is Fun too. Oh God, we didn’t stand a chance against Amelia aren’t-I-ever-so-clever-and-good-at-everything Yee. It would be one more thing for Auntie Yee to lord it over my ma with. Brilliant. Not.

“So, are you looking forward to having bunk beds, Danny?” asked Auntie Yee. “Yes, I can’t wait. I am going to invite my best friend Ravi over for sleepovers; I’m seeing him later at the park.” Ma shifted in her seat. She liked Ravi. I didn’t think she would disapprove of him staying over, and, in any case, she and Ba worked nearly every evening, so I was alone upstairs. Ravi could keep me company and we could hang out. It would be great to have someone to talk to when my parents were working. “Amelia never used the top bunk – it was pointless having it to be honest. Adrian thought it would be good for friends staying, but Amelia is too busy for those kinds of things – even weekends are full.” Amelia suddenly looked strange for an instant, and then took a deep breath in. I thought she was really popular at that fancy girls’ school her parents paid for, but maybe she wasn’t. “I’m happy it’s gone. Sleepovers are immature,” Amelia mumbled.
