Chapter One

When I reach home I open the door to see Friday standing before me. She's wearing overalls with her school top under it. Her tie is tight around her neck and facing to the left. Her face is red with anger. Friday says she's "coming to find me," but I know she's lying and I don't say anything. Mum says since Friday's come to live with with us to be 'easy' with her because one, she easily gets angry two, because she didn't want to live here in the first place and three, she's having a hard time staring school in the middle of the year.

Friday has moved from Brisbane with her dad to live here in Sydney with our mum and me. Dad died but every time we mention dad to Friday she starts to cry, so we don't talk about him. Friday doesn't like mum because she split up with dad because his job moved around a lot. And because he got offered a better job in Brisbane, but mum didn't want to move so they spilt up. Dad took Friday and then mum got another husband named Jo they had me. Then Jo and mum got a divorce. Our family is complicated, very complicated.
