Caroline's best friend

“My best friend is Scovia. She’s the one I can talk to about everything. If I have any problem, she’s the one I can tell. We share everything. We play games together and read together. We play netball at school and at the camp at weekends.

We walk to school together. We just start talking, and talk all the way to school. We help each other at school, when one of us doesn’t understand. We’re both good at English. We borrow books from the school library to read. It’s dark when we get home, and we don’t have a lamp, so mainly we read at weekends. We both like to read animal stories. I usually have time to see Scovia and my other friends after it’s dark. We sit and chat, and tell stories.”
