"Hey, Stace?" Claudia's voice floated out of the phone. "Have you seen Dawn yet?"

"No!" I exclaimed. "Is she back?" I jigged on the spot, grinning at my reflection in the mirror of my dressing table.

"Yes!" Claud said. "I saw her yesterday. You'll see her at the meeting today; she said to me she was coming."

"Great! See you later, Claudia," I said, putting the phone down.

I pulled on my favourite pink sparkly boots, smiled at my completed outfit in the mirror and called goodbye to my mum, who was downstairs sorting out lunch.

"Bye, sweetie," she said, giving me a hug.

"See you, mum," I said, "I'll be at Claudia's for an hour."

"Have a nice time, hon," she said, kissing the top of my head.
