Maria didn’t have her sports kit for class again. It was the second time this term. ‘I forgot it,’ she told the teacher. But it wasn’t true.

‘What’s wrong, Maria?’ asked her mother when the school called her. ‘I put your clean sports kit on your bed this morning.’

‘Nothing, Mum,’ said Maria very quietly.

‘Look at me and speak clearly,’ said her mother, angry. ‘I can’t understand you.’

Maria didn’t look up. She didn’t want to answer any questions. She didn’t want her mum to find the dress or the trainers either. Maria didn’t want to explain where they came from. If her mum saw them there would be a lot more questions. Questions that Maria didn’t want to answer.

‘Fine. But if you don’t tell me, I can’t help you.’
