      Chapter 1 – Back to School

      It was a jolly sight: the school dining hall filled with a group of chattering girls after it had stood in quietness for the summer. The noise would seem loud and obnoxious to any new girls who had not settled in yet, but once they started enjoying themselves, this noise would be friendly.

      At the table of the 5th graders, Bianca Helicon sat at the head of the table. Felecia and Harriet sat next to her. Bianca was the head girl not only of the 5th grade, but also of the school. Felecia and Harriet were the vice head girls.

      Ah – they were all back – Bianca’s friends: Esther, the head-girl last year and sports captain this year; the Bringham-Jones sisters, Alice, Alexis and Evelyn; Celine Tebbits; the quiet, talented pair, Alicia and Elsie; Carlotta and Andrea, the two who were always up to mischief; the twins, Janet and Jennifer; and the Chinese girl, Baixue.

      There were three new faces at the table: a pretty girl with curly auburn hair down to her slim waist, dazzlingly blue eyes and crimson lips; a brown, attractive girl, tanned and well-mannered; and, to most of the girls’ surprise, a brown boy, who looked much like the new brown girl.

      With much curiosity about the new faces, the lively girls finished their dinner. They headed towards the common room, and the new students followed. Mrs Sullivan also came in.

      Mrs Sullivan shouted over the merry chatter of the girls: Girls! Be quiet. Please let me introduce you to your three new friends.

      Mrs Sullivan pointed at the pretty girl with the auburn hair. This, she said, is Lizboa Gordon. She has transferred here from the…what was your school again?

      Lizboa answered, "Olympian Sports School. I liked sports, so I went there. But I soon found out that what we learnt did not meet my standards, and that the school did not benefit my sports in any way. I knew that your school, McJone’s Foundry School, has a good name for sports, and won the Young Children’s Tennis Championship last year, so I’ve come here. I hope that you have a few players who can stand up to me?"

      Esther, who had been the respected head girl a year ago, frowned. Lizboa was just a new girl, and had no right to be boasting about her talents, and assuming that she was better than the others. She said coldly, If you thought that there weren’t any players that could stand up to you, why did you come here?

      Lizboa glared at Esther, and opened her mouth to say more, but Mrs Sullivan continued her introductions. She pointed to the two brown children. This girl is Frances Salvatone Ceqae. She is Argentinean, and has won a scholarship here. This is her brother, Gabriel Salvatone Ceqae. He did exceptionally well in his last school, and has come here on an exchange program.

      Frances and Gabriel looked at the class with friendly eyes.

      Esther stood and addressed the three new students. We are very glad that you can join us, and we hope that we can be friends soon.

      Frances said, We hope so too. Gabriel nodded.

      The next day, Mrs Sullivan gave out a quiz to test
