Extract from Sammie's story ... as the girl who becomes a big fat liar (but whose pants don't catch fire)
There are two parts of my day I don't like very much. The first part is before school; the second part is after school. They're so bouncy since Dad left. I don't mean happy bouncy, like when you're on a bouncy castle and everyone's jumping up and down and bumping into each other and it's good fun. I mean sad bouncy, like when you're on a bouncy castle and everybody's jumping up and down and bumping into each other but nobody's in control and you get scared in case you fall and get hurt. That kind of bouncy.

Extract from Brody's story ... as the model from the States (who's in a bit of a state herself)
Wednesday morning, Day Three, was the read through for each scene so we could start thinking about stage directions and positioning of actors and cameras for when we started filming in the afternoon. The whole project was hotting up and there was a real buzz in every corner of the After School Club. For my part, I had decided Reggie was right - I had turned into a 'miserable mare' this week, so I was trying to make it up to him by collaborating harder on his script. Alex and Jolene were fully occupied practising with the video camera, so I was free to work on my Yorkshire accent, which Reggie thought was 'right pathetic'.
