Starring Me As Third Donkey

The rules of Emma's life:

Kate Is My Best Friend
I Am Kate's Best Friend
Boys Are Boring

It all seems quite simple really. But when Emma's school stages a production of Samson and Delilah, her best friend lands the star role that Emma really wanted. And suddenly, what with the bright lights, a dishy young Samson and a very itchy donkey costume, life starts to get a lot more complicated...

Extract

Hope is a dangerous word. Add an "l" and an "e" and a double "s", and that was a pretty accurate description of my chances of getting the star role in the play. But during those last five minutes of this afternoon's walk home from school, those five minutes when Kate and Kate's mum and my mum were all gabbing away at each other, I hadn't felt grumpy at all for a change. I'd started to let myself hope that I could ... I might ... I mean ... could I? Be Delilah?
