yeh’re　all　lezzers；’　she　yelled；　‘stuck　in　’ere　together　with　no　boys！’

Holly　had　laughed　so　much　that　she　had　doubled　over　and　banged　her　head　on　the　locker　door。

‘Fuckin’　watch　it；　Hol；’　Krystal　had　said；　delighted　with　the　effect　she　was　having　on　them　all。　‘Yeh’ll　need　yer　’ead。’

As　they　had　trooped　down　to　the　canal；　Sukhvinder　could　see　why　Mr　Fairbrother　had　wanted　the　venue　changed。　There　was　nobody　but　him　here　to　support　them　at　the　start；　whereas　the　St　Anne’s　crew　had　lots　of　friends　shrieking　and　applauding　and　jumping　up　and　down　on　the　spot；　all　with　the　same　kind　of　glossy　long　hair。

‘Look！’　shouted　Krystal；　pointing　into　this　group　as　they　passed。　‘It’s　Lexie　Mollison！　Remember　when　I　knocked　yer　teeth　out；　Lex？’

Sukhvinder　had　a　pain　from　laughing。　She　was　glad　and　proud　to　be　walking　along　behind　Krystal；　and　she　could　tell　that　the　others　were　too。　Something　about　how　Krystal　faced　the　world　was　protecting　them　from　the　effect　of　the　staring　eyes　and　the　fluttering　bunting；　and　the　building　like　a　palace　in　the　background。

But　she　could　tell　that　even　Krystal　was　feeling　the　pressure　as　they　climbed　into　their　boat。　Krystal　turned　to　Sukhvinder；　who　always　sat　behind　her。　She　was　holding　something　in　her　hand。

‘Good…luck　charm；’　she　said；　showing　her。

It　was　a　red　plastic　heart　on　a　key…ring；　with　a　picture　of　her　little　brother　in　it。

‘I’ve　told　’im　I’m　gonna　bring　’im　back　a　medal；’　said　Krystal。

‘Yeah；’　said　Sukhvinder；　with　a　rush　of　faith　and　fear。　‘We　will。’

‘Yeah；’　said　Krystal；　facing　front　again；　and　tucking　the　key…ring　back　inside　her　bra。　‘No　petition；　this　lot；’　she　said　loudly；　so　the　whole　crew　could　hear。　‘Bunch　o’　muff　munchers。　Le’s　do　’em！’

Sukhvinder　remembered　the　starting　gun　and　the　crowd’s　cheers　and　her　muscles　screaming。　She　remembered　her　elation　at　their　perfect　rhythm；　and　the　pleasure　of　their　deadly　seriousness　after　laughter。　Krystal　had　won　it　for　them。　Krystal　had　taken　away　the　home…ground　advantage。　Sukhvinder　wished　that　she　could　be　like　Krystal：　funny　and　tough；　impossible　to　intimidate；　always　ing　out　fighting。

She　had　asked　Terri　Weedon　for　two　things；　and　they　had　been　granted；　because　Terri　agreed　with　everyone；　always。　The　medal　that　Krystal　had　won　that　day　was　around　her　neck　for　her　burial。　The　other　request　came；　at　the　very　end　of　the　service；　and　this　time；　as　he　announced　it；　the　vicar　sounded　resigned。

Good　girl　gone　bad　–

Take　three　–

Action。

No　clouds　in　my　storms　…
