this
Christmas?” Sophie asked Rose.
    “Well, as you know it doesn’t look
like my parents will be able to leave South America until early next year,”
Rose chewed her lip “and Uncle John is training troops right up until Christmas
day. So Jack’s organized it that we all stay at school during the holidays and
his parents are coming just for Christmas lunch.” By ‘all’ Rose meant herself,
her brother Toby, and her three cousins, Jack, Alex and Ellie.
    “You’re so lucky.” Sighed Grace. “No
parents, no schoolwork, just total freedom.” Her own parents were pretty strict
and made her study several hours a day even during the holidays.
    And two weeks with Jack , thought Sophie, though she didn’t
say it aloud. “I can’t believe the school are just letting Jack come and stay.”
She said.
    “Yeah, well, it is Jack. You
know how much the Head Mistress thinks of him. I think she probably cried when
he left last term.” Rose rolled her eyes.
    She wasn’t the only one , thought Sophie. “When is he
arriving?”
    “Sometime tomorrow, you might see
him before you leave, do you want me to ring and ask him?” Rose said.
    Sophie shook her head. She didn’t
want Jack to know she was bothered.
    “So who else is staying?” She asked.
    “I’m not sure.” Rose’s eyes traveled
back to where Leo and Diana were sitting. She had heard a rumor that they were
both staying, though she couldn’t think why.
    “Definitely Anne-Marie the Head
Girl, and I think a boy in Toby’s year, which will be nice for him.” Toby was
thirteen and had not taken the news of his parent’s absence this coming
Christmas at all well.
    “So no one particularly interesting.
No cute boys?” Said Grace.
    Rose let her gaze linger on Leo for
a second more. “No. No-one interesting.” She confirmed.
