Chloe Learns A Lesson
Stage School - Holly Skeet
A glittering and exciting read featuring the adventures of four young actresses as they start in the school of their dreams - Stage School!
Chloe was used to being the star of the group - always the funniest, brightest and most extroverted. But the Marcia Lane School of Drama and Dance is different. This isn't a place for showing off. All the pupils are stars in their own way. Will Chloe learn that acting the fool and being a good actress are not the same thing before it is too late?
Extract
'Have you got everything?' Mrs Ford asked again anxiously.
'Yes, Mum.' Chloe was hardly listening - she was too excited, and anyway, it was at least the third time Mum had asked her.
Mum was giving Chloe a lift because it was the first day. Chloe had wanted to go on her own, but when she'd suggested it, Mum had been quite upset.
She'd tried to explain that she'd worked out the route, but Mum and Dad weren't having it. She knew why - they were so proud of her for getting into the school, and they wanted to be a part of it. She was used to them being involved. They came to all her shows - her dad videoed them all, and anyone who came to the house was lucky to get away without being shown Chloe aged three in her dance school pageant, dressed as a daffodil and stealing the show as usual.
Chloe's dad suddenly popped his head out of the kitchen. 'You could take the video camera -!'
'No!' Chloe squawked in horror. No way! She couldn't imagine anything worse - all the cool people at Lane's walking past and sniggering as her mum videoed her going up the steps. 'No, Dad. No video, no photos, no hugging, and if we don't leave now I'm going on the train without even Mum, 'cause otherwise we're going to be late.'
As she'd expected, that put her mum in an immediate panic. She ran out of the door without even bringing the car keys, she was so desperate for Chloe not to be late. Chloe followed her, grinning, and carrying her rucksack, her bag of dance clothes, and her mum's handbag.
